Children Operate Furnace.

A certain element Of romance in steel
making is suggested in an account re-
ceived from England Of the operation
of two-ton electric steel furnace at
Sheffield, says the Scientific American.
The furnace is entirely hand operated
through a control worked IN conjunc-
ton with recording ammeters; but the
chief point is the size of the operator.
A boy Of fourteensor fifteen runs the
furnace constantly, and other furnaces
Of this particular type are now op-
Grated in the same manner by girls,
owing to the scarcity of male labor.
The whole is an object lesson in the
steadiness and simplicity of the new
type Of steel-making furnace. Such
results would have been ridiculed only
few years ago.

All Quiet (7) on the Western Front

All Quiet ~ on the Western Front
At brigade headquarters I happened
to overhear q conversation between our
G. o. c. general officer commanding
and the divisional commander. From
this conversation I learned that we
were to lombard the German lines for
eight days, and on the first of July the
"big push" was to commence.
In few days orders were issued to
that effect, and 1t was common prop
erty all along the line.

was passed down the trench that Old
Pepper requested twenty volunteers to
go over on a trench raid that night to
try and get few German prisoners for
information purposes. I Immediately
volunteered for this job, and shook
hands with Atwell, and went to the

was accepted, worse luck.
At 9:45 that night we reported to the
brigade headquarters dugout to receive
instructions from Old Pepper.
After reaching this dugout we lined
UP in a semicircle around him, and he
addressed US as follows:
"All l want you boys to do is to go
over to the German lines tonight, sur
prise them, secure couple of prison
ers, and return Immediately. Our ar
tillery has bOmbarded that section Of
the line for two days and personally I
believe that that part of the German
trench is unoccupied, so just get cou-
pie of prisoners and return as quickly
as possible"
