Current Heats cruelble.

Electric furnaces in large and small
sizes which operate by passing the
current through a carbon crucible are
now being made by New York COM
pany. In the smaller designs the cru
chile is about one foot long and
shaped like boat with pouring lip
on the side. The capacity is one TO
twenty pounds of metal, and the tenn
perature ranges from 500 to 5000 de-
grees. The electrodes of the furnace
are water cooled, and the carbon cru
chile is said to last from twenty-five
to fifty heats, depending on the metal
to be melted.
Another design Of furnace is made
by the company along the same gen.
eral lines, except that the metal Is
melted by heat radiated by the single
carbon electrode, and the metal lies
In bed of magnesite. This type is
made fitting or stationary In any ca
pacity.
These furnaces may be used In
small foundries and In shops for melt
ing scrap, filings and other materials.

LACKED ALL REAL GREATNESS
Attitude Of William Hohenzollern,
Stripped Of Imperial Trappines,
Shows His True Character.

IL William Hohenzollern had fallen
from so high to his present state less
obviously as the result Of his own
acts, there would be some, and even
much, reluctance felt for treating him
otherwise than as the victim Of cruel
fate. That, however. he is not, and
so deliberate, as well as so serious.
was his offending that he has no claim
for a closing of eyes to his crimes
no right to expect the tenderness Of
consideration he never gave.
The chances are, apparently, that he
will pass the rest of his life, not hap
ply, indeed, but In a retirement un-
troubled by the material cares common
20 the great majority Of mankind, and
q is source Of entirely legitimate
satisfaction to call attention to the
poor figure he cuts, now that he has
been stripped of his crown. bis scep-
ter and his imperial robes.
These, as a matter OF fact, were
ell that differentiated him from other
folk. In and since hls downfall he
has shown nothing Of the heroic, moth
ing Of the personal courage, Of the
willingness to die for a cause, that have
marked so many million men In 30
many armies, including his own. II
he sincerely believed his right to rule
vas divine, II was the most cowardly
form Of desertlon for him to fee his
country the moment he feared for his
personal safety. BY 30 doing he made
certain and immediate the ruling Of
Germany by somebody with no pre-
tense to divine authorization.
Many another royal villain has dared
70 die, standing erect with face to the
Zoe, but this poor emperor scuttles off
into the unwelcoming Holland, and
leaves his sons and his wife to take
care of themselves But 1t is no
wonder he is most Of all afraid Of his
own people. He promised them vic
tory and loot, only to rob them Of
the wealth, respect and happiness they
already had in such abundant measure,
and he substituted for 1t all crush
ing defeat, pinching hunger and the
contempt and detestation of the whole
world.-New York Times.
