In the two years since the end of
hostiities in 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 i'm the making Of steel are
described In the following cOmmuni-
cation to the National Geographic
society, by William Joseph Showalter:
"An Open-hearth furnace looks
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
grant, fat loaves of baking bread,
there is an imposing pool of fiery liq-
ud as bright as the filament of a
high-power tungsten lamp, so dazzling
that ii can be examined with safety
TO the eyes only by those using col
ored glasses. Tinted here and there
with streaks of soft blue and dainty
pink, il looks like melted stick candy.

hearth furnaces for charge, finely

This melts like glass and fills up all
cracks and crannies caused by the
powerful heat of the preceding charge.
Then little train rolls up before the
battery. and an electric crane dumps
box after box Of scrap metal from the
cars into the furnaces. or some dis
lance is a great steel tank lined with
friedrich and full of liquid pig metal.

contents of the cauldrOn are cooked

with the proper amount of carbon.

necessary to give the desired char
acter TO the resulting steel.
"Then comes the tapping of the fur
mace. An electric crane lifts great

a crowbar through a clay-plugged hole
at the base, and out flows the fren-
zied stream into the ladle. The Stag

EUCENICS AND OUR
IMMIGRATION LAWS

Recognition by congress that immi'
grafton constitutes one of the great
est of the aftcr-war problems of the
United States makes timely sugges'
ton In regard 10 controlling the great
influx Of foreigners to this country,
advanced by DR.. Alexander Graham
Bell, in 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.
I'VE 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
prOvement must be slow where tire
forces concerned act from within and
are not amenable to control from with
out. Under the best conditions il
would require several generations to
produce sensible results; but in the
United States we have, in the new
blood introduced from abroad an i'm
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 10 our population;
and we have now. and now only, the
opportunity Of studying the process of
absorption before ii Is complete.

ent races of the world In varying pro-
portions. 1t IL of the greatest conse-
quence to us that the final result
should be the evolution of a 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

MEXICO: A MODERN BABEL

President ObreSOI, who has just

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
crucible furnace the metal is placed
in graphite clay pots, covers are put
overs 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.
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.
The alloys are then mixed with the
steel and II is made fit for any use
desired. 1t Is drawn off into ladies
and poured into ingot molds, where
it hardens, ready to be worked up In
to those things that constitute the last
word in fine steel"

BESSARABIA: SHAPED LIKE

the World war, the largest of the
states of southeastern Europe, owes
much of this increased area to its re-
cent annexation Of Bessarabia, pre-
viOusly part Of Russia.
Bessarabia, the former Russian
province lying between the Pruth 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 han
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 IL 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 a 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 27o miles.

communication to the National Geo

"Erivan, the capital of Armenia's
