is a flaw. however, in what he wrote

run two words together and cut out

The line as read must be Full many

while if it We're written correctly the
elision of a syllable and the running

necessary. 1t would read: Full

A certain element Of romance in
steel making is suggested in an ac-
count received from England of the
operation of Il two-ton electric steel
furnace at Sheffield. says the Scien-
tific American. The furnace is entire
ly hand operated through a control
worked in conjunction with recording
ammeters; but the chief point Is the
size Of the operator. A boy of IA or
10 runs the furnace constantly, and
other furnaces of this particular type
are now operated i'll 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 ridi-
culed only a few years ago.
