fixed temperature will soon como to
the same temperature and thus be-
come hardened as you please.
Carbon steel requires from 1880 de-
grees to 1882 degrees Fahrenheit. It
is obtained by baths of chloride of
barium and chloride of potash. The
variations in the proportion of one Of
these metallic salts to the other also
vary the fixed temperature of the
solution. The barium salt raises the
temperature. while the potassium
diminishes it. Common tool steel re-
quires equal parts of each by weight.
Rarium chloride is used by itself
if high-speed tool is to be tempered: !:
2,372 degrees Fahrenheit may thus be
steadily maintained with the electric
current. Only salts Of the highest
purity must be used; otherwise flaws
and cracks may be found in the final
product. At either side of the crucible
are two iron plates that take the place
of electrodes. between which the cur
rent runs through the bath. They
must be changed from time to time,
because the heat soon destroys them.
A sixty-cycle alternating current,
with transformer, Is used with these
furnaces. The 220 voltage may thus
be reduced to volt or two. In addi-
ton to the transformer there is q
regulating device which allows the
current strength to be changed for
appropriate temperatures.

strength and courage and usually
much more to those seeking its aid, as
these stories go to show:
In James Buchanan's administra-
tion the then Prince of Wales walked
across the park with the Presidents
niece, Miss Harriet Lane. They were
on their way to call on the British
minister, Lord Lyon, who lived two
squares away. AS they passed under
the tree Miss Lane told the prince
something of it's history. Lord Rem
frew, as he was called, became en-
thusiastic at once and Immediately
made his own wish while clasping the
lowest branch with his hands. After
ward he told a friend at the en-
bassy that he had wished some time to
become King of England. For the
could be, The young prince became
the tactful King Edward VII of Eng
land.
At another time young woman had
come to Washington to get work, but
she could find no vacant place. Work
eTS were Delus luTHcu away, AOl
en- on, and she was discouraged. al
most in despair, when she took
seat under the wishing tree" An
elderly woman came to the bench be-
side the girl and almost before she
realized what she was doing she was
pouring forth her woes. The woman
helped with her sympathy and ended
by asking her name and address.
Early the next morning the girl re-
ceived letter telling her to report at
the Interior Department for exami-
nation. She went, passed the exami-
nation and obtained just exactly the
kind of position she wanted. The
elderly woman-the wife of a con-
sressman-had proved fairy god
mother in league with the wishing
tree"

Hardening Steel by Electricity.

T IKE the widows cruise, the uses to
II which electricity may be put are
never exhausted. 1t has been sue
cessfully applied to the hardening of
steel. Hardening various combina-
tions Of iron alloys that may be
tempered is no easy task. The cost
and trouble often run the price Of
the finished product unreasonably
high. Tools that should be available
for everybody are thus kept out Of
the reach of the very persons who
need them NEST.
There is in use an electric method
that maintains the furnaces at such
uniform temperatures that the best
possible results must follow. The
popular methods of gas, coal and oil
heating forbid the expectation of
steady heat; fluctuations are inevi-
table. Irregular, spotty heating, with
undertaking at one point and too
much heat at another, is the rule. The
consequence is that tools are some-
times properly hardened and some
times not.
There is the lead bath process, for
instance. Sudden applications are too
much, for irregular heat causes in
ternal strains, which produce cracks
and crevices. The tools are lighter
than the liquid lead. and hence float
On top Of it. The dross. as we'll as the
lead. which then adheres to the tool,
interferes greatly with uniform out
put, and the toxic gases, which are
associated with this manufacture,
work great harm to the men.
These methods, including the cleo
sric furnace, result in hardening, &C.
cordins to scientific rules. The heat
can be regulated without trouble and
maintained uniformly at any point in
a very wide range. Metallic salts,
melted by the passage of the electric
current through them, produce a
solution that keeps constant tempera-
turs. The temperature depends on
the amount Of the current: the change
Of one causes change in the other.
Any tool dipps1 into the liquid at
