Metal Sold in Thre: Forms-caSt,
Wrought and Steel-One Of Most
Valuable Minerals.

Iron is the most valuable metal In
the world to man, because 1t is Of
more use in more ways.
1t has been known to men from earli-
est tiIles. Savages smelted it. 1t is
generally found compounded with other
substances such as carbon. These
other substances have to be burned
out in order to have pure iron.
Iron Is sold in three forms-cast
iron, wrought iron, and steel. Cast
Iron is brittle and hard, like the lid
on the kitchen range. Wrought iron
can be hammered out flat or made into
wire or welded. It is quite soft. Steel
Is also capable Of being hammered
out flat and welded. Its peculiar prop
erty is that when tempered it be-
comes very ,hard-so hard that sharp
edge can DO put on it-so hard that it
will, when edged, cut wrought iron.
Iron which has been melted and
poured into a mold In some form de-
sired for use, such as part Of stove,
is called cast iron. Iron which is cast
roughly from the smelted ore in order
to be used to make cast iron, wrought
iron or steel IS called pig iron.
Pudding is the name of the process
by which pig iron is made into wrought
Iron. 1t is done in furnace in which
the carbon is burned from the pig
iron.
Pig iron contains the most carbon,
then comes steel and then wrought
iron.
Steel can be made directly from pig
iron by what is known as the Bessemer
and open-hearth processes. Formerly
it was made from wrought iron.

FAD 70 TIE THE YOUNGSTERS
, Were NJ. = - trusted When Grand
mother Dipped the Candles on
the Old Farm.

There was another event that took
place once a year in the big Kitchen
so much more exciting than spinning
that instead of being allowed to sit at
liberty, with directions and cautions,
we had to be tied to the table legs
with a clothes line or we would have
been covered with grease. 1t was
mysterious proceeding, which began
with my grandmother spreading
space on the floor with Albany Jour
nails, and Ontario County Repositories
and Waterbury Americans. Then she
stirred the contents Of brass kettle
that hung on the crane, and took up
the Waterbury Americans, cherished
souvenirs of her native town, and re-
placed them with ordinary Reposito-
ries. Next she brought four kitchen
chairs and set them on the four cor
ners of the rectangle of newspapers
and connected them with two poles
Then she stirred the brass kettle again
and looked at the clock. Then she
proceeded to bring in large number
of rods, each Of which was Topped with
six twisted wicks, and laid the ends
of the rods neatly on the poles. 1t
was then that we were tied up with
little free rope allowed for limited
range, before the brass kettle was
emptied into the copper boiler.
And now the fun began, when my
grandmother dipped the first two rods
of wicks into the boiler Of melted tai
| low, and we danced as much as the
table legs would permit. 1t was two
rods at time and then two more over
and over again until the full-grown
candles hung in rows, slender at the
top and enlarging to a thick, pointed
end at the bottom 1t took some OF
| the JOY out of our young lives when

Boy Scouts of Near East Relief

Near East Relief, who is now on

Transcaucasia.
Behind the walls of American

despite disorder, pestilence, and

children reach maturity a new gem

we are confronted by the possibility
of having to abandon them because
of lack of funds. . This will mean

also result in the death of the ma

LARGEST KNOWN FOSSIL BONE
Discovery Made in Northern New
Mexico is Interesting for More
Than One Reason.

The largest shoulder blade of any
animal on record. ancient or modern,
has been discovered in San Juan basin
i'll northern New Mexico by John B.
Reeside, Jr., of the United States
geological survey. This scapula bone
is part of an immense extinct dinoSaur
estimated to be over one hundred feet
long and markedly larger than any
previously known to have existed.
Charles E. Gilmore of the National
museum in Washington has assembled
the collection of pieces of this fossil
scapula and has found that the total
length of the bone is more than five
feet, nearly as tall as a man. This is
five times the length of the shoulder
blade of COW of today.
The large fossil was found in the
part of the earth that was deposited
and formed in the Upper Cretaceous
era, and this indicates to the geologist
that the dinosaurs lived at later
geologic time than they had previously
supposed. This fact has created more
stir in geological circles than the
size OF the fossil.
Dinosaurs were large reptiles with
long necks, little heads and brains,
and long tails. Their bodies look
somewhat like that of an diversified
