metal drops into tanks of water 100
feet below, the pellets being formeu
Just after passing through the sieve
Exactly how long 1t takes to chill the
shot after the metal leaves the sieve
is still mystery, but it is known that
when the pellets reach the water
which cannot take more than a frac-
tion of a second, they have become
solid spheres of remarkable roundness.
Special sieves with varying sizes OF
nerforatiOn must be used for each In
dividual size of shot. The size Of shot,
however, may be regulated slightly by
change In temperature Of the molten
metal.
From the tanks of water the shot
passes through a drying machine, and
thence to conveyors which take 1t up
several stories In the shot tower, Next
they go to big revolving screen
where any rough bits of lead that may
be mixed up with the pellets are
culled out.
Leaving this screen the shot go to
series of glass asserting tables,
where the perfect pellets are automat-
| ically selected, those having the slight
est imperfections being discarded. The
shot flows from a hopper onto the glass
tables, which are very slightly In
cllned, and the perfect pellets gather
sufficient momentum to roll down the
table and jump gap at the base
while those pellets which are not
round enough to gather the required
momentum fail to jump the gap and
pass into the scrap. Every pellet
passes over a series of dozen of the
glass tables, placed one above the
other and only those of perfect form
can survive the elimination tests. Any
imperfectlon whatever, such as rough
edges, slows up the rolling pellet sc
that it drops into one Of the gaps and
goes back to the melting pot to be
made over again.
In addition TO all this, samples from
each tank of shot are later tested fol
roundness and appearance by rollins
J the pellets over a glass plate set a
an angle of about one-half of one de
gree.
From the last Of the glass tables
the shot go into big revolving drums

sorted into the various sizes. Eacl

drums are equipped with rollers oI

Colonization Is
 Greatest Need

Anchorage.-''Within the next fif- teen or twenty years Alaska will be supplying the hard wheat necessary for patent flour in the United States" is the opinion of a member of the Anchorage Chamber of Com merce. That this is not vision is amply supported by the history of the Canadian west where conditions are no better, aside from networks of transportation, than in the wheat belt of Alaska" he said. There are 15,OOO,OOO acres of arabic land along the Alaska railroad, and last year it was demonstrated by actual results that fine hard wheat may be grown Approximately 5000 bushels of wheat came off the land and this represents a few homesteads that have been developed while the rail- road was building. Once the Alaska railroad effects colonization policy and settlers are secured, the areas farmed will be sufficient to supply wheat for all local purposes and have a surplus for export
 'The outlook is so alluring that already steps are being taken to en- courage wheat growing. A small flour mill will b built at Anchorage next spring to serve the Matanuska agricultural fields and following this will come creameries and evaporating plants. A local cannery is to supply the nucleus of a vegetable and berry canning industry and within a dozen more years Alaska will eat from her own soil and have a surplus to ex- port.
 ''An empire builder is all that is needed to make of the Alaska rail road monument equal to that ere ated by James J. Hill in the Great Northern railroad and the projectors of the Canadian Pacific.
