MEXICO: A MODERN BABEL

multiplicity of languages is not due to
wholesale immigration as in the Unit

the revolutions which have disturbed
the progress of Mexico can be traced
to this diversity of tongues and the
differences in thought and ideals that
necessarily follow.

than fifty separate dialects are

ding these ladies', for the presence Of
few drops of moisture when the
hot metal is poured into one might
cause an explosion and loss of life.
Just before they receive the molten
metal the ladies are heated nearly
white hot In order that the steel or
iron may not chill in them.
'As fast as they are filed the ladies

The only difference is that the 'freez-

There are two other important
types of steel furnaces-the crucible
furnace and the electric furnace. In
both Of them the idea is to keep all
hurtful gases and other impurities out
and to regulate the addition OF alloys
and oxygen destroyers to nicely. In
a crucible furnace the metal is placed
in graphite clay pots. covers are put
over them. and the pots subjected to
great heat. Silica is gradually abb
sOrbed out Of the clay in the pots and
transformed into silicon by coming
into contact with the carbon in the
steel. The silicon in its turn absorbs
the oxygen and thus quiets the froth-
ing. foaming contents of the kettle.
1.-The electric furnace acts in much
the same way, its heat being SO pure
that there is no necessity of putting
the steel in covered pots to keep out
gases and other impurities. An cleo
trio arc. established between huge
electrodes and the surface of the
Stag, produces the heat in such a
furnace. BY varying the materials
used in the formation of the Stag any
impurity can be worked off and the
glowing steel left as pure as crystal.

much Of this increased area to it's re-
cent annexation of Bessarabia, pre-
viously part Of Russia.
Bessarabia, the former russian
province lying between the truth and
the Dniester rivers. and bounded on
the south by the Danube and the
Black sea, might be likened in shape
to tall, slim pitcher, without a ham
die. 1t is completely bounded by wa
ter except at very narrow point at
the mouth of the pitcher. The Dnies-
ter river forms the eastern boundary
of the province. Flowing out of the
crown lands at Galicia, the river runs
east in general direction for approx
mately fifty miles. Then it turns
southeast for ninety miles to Dniester
bay, an arm of the Black sea, some
fifteen miles from Odessa, Russia's
principal port on that inland body of
water. The Pruth river, flowing out
Of Galicia, runs east for about twenty
miles, then turns southeast for hun
dred and ten miles, and then slightly
west of south to its confluence with
the Danube.
Bessarabia is little smaller than
Vermont and New Hampshire togeth-
er. Its greatest length is 275 miles,
while its greatest width is 175. 1t is
