DISCOVERS NEW STEEl
Inventor of vanadium Steel Per-
 fleets New Process.
New Product Far In Advance of Any High Speed Steel Hitherto
 Made.


 London.-The Invention of a new steel, far ill advance of any high speed steel hitherto made, is ascribed by the Daily Mail to John Oliver Arnold, pro- lessor of metallurgy at Sheffield uni versity. Professor Arnold, who is said to have been the discoverer of vanadi- um steel claims. according to the Daily Mail, that the new steel pos sesses far more commercial possibili- ties, that it is unrivaled in hardness, that in tool form it will remove a greater weight than any other steel, and that 1t possesses comparatively longer life.
 The Daily Mail indicates that Pro- lessor Arnold uses molybdenum in stead of tungsten, and says:
 If large quantities of molybdenum Ca hard silver white metallic ele- ment) can be found and the price re- duced, tungsten will take back seat, because per cent molybdenum will achieve more than IS per cent tung- Sten."
