Off into molds.
Great care has to be taken in ham
ding these ladies. for the presence of
a 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 filled the ladies'
are swung out over the ingot molds
and the liquid steel is run into them
and allowed TO cool and take its solid
form. 1t is as If water were poured
into molds and set in a refrigerating
machine 10 freeze into blocks of Ice.
The only difference is that the 'freez-
ing point of steel is away above the
boiling point OF water.
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 GestrOyers to nicely. In
q crucibe furnace the metal is placed
in graphite clay pots, covers are put
over them, and the pots subjected TO
great heat. Silica is gradually alb
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
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

EUGENICS AND OUR
IMMIGRATION LAWS

Recognition by congress that immi-
grafton constitutes one OF the great
est of the after-war problems of the
United States makes timely u sugges-
ton in regard to controlling the great
influx of foreigners To this country,
advanced by DIR. Alexander Graham
Bell, in a communication to the Ma
tional Geographic society.
why should not congress provide
for an clinical survey of the people
of the United States" he asks.
1--WE should have definite and reli-
able information concerning those for
eign elements which are beneficial to
our people and those which are harm
full
THE problem of improving a race
of human beings is a most perpleXing
one To handle. The process of i'm
forces concerned act from within and
are not amenable TO control from with
out. Under the best conditions it
would require several generations to
produce sensible results; but in the
United States we have, In the new
blood introduced from abroad, an inn
pOrtant means of Improvement that
will act more quickly, and that is emf
nently susceptible to control. All the
nations of the world have been con-
tributing elements to our population (;
and we have now, and now only, the
opportunity of studying the process of
absorption before il is complete.
1.-The grand spectacle is presented
to our eyes of a new people being
gradually evolved i'm the United States
by the mingling together of the differ
ent races of the world in varying pro-
portions. 1t Is of the greatest cOnse-
quence TO us that the final result
should be the evolution of higher
and nobler type of man in America,
and not deterioration of the nation.
ITO this end the process of evolu-
ton should be carefully studied. and
then controlled by suitable immigra-
ton laws tending TO eliminate unde-
sirable clinical elements, and to slim
ulate the admission of elements as
simulated readily by our population.

HOW STEEL is MADE

In the two years since the end of
hostilities I'm the World war, the coun-
tries suffering most from the conflict
have been importing steel TO the ex-
tent that their finances will permit
for this substance is needed to patch
the industrial injuries inflicted by the
war. Some Of the important methods
employed in the making of steel are
described in the following communi-
cation TO the National Geographic
society, by William Joseph ShOwalter :
IAN open-hearth furnace looks a
good deal like an ordinary bake-Oven (;
but when one looks in through the
water-cOOled door, vast difference
appears. Instead of pans of fra
