while France is in control of two run
ming from Brest to New York and from
Brest to Pernambuco, Brazil. All the

much land that it now controls only

The climax in the huge imper-
sonal drama Of cement making is
the burning Of the raw materials
in great rotary kilns.
Agood-sizedkiln,seton end, would
be taller than a 2O-story building.
A touring car couldrun throughit.
The kilns are steel cylinders lined
with fire brick. .Theyrest at aslight
angle from the horizontal on
heavy rollers, and are driven by
steel gears at half a revolution a
minute. A medium sized kiln
weighs 275,OOO pounds, empty,
and has foundations asheavyasfor
a 1O-story building.
Into the upper end Of the revolv-
ingkilnsHowthe finelygroundma-
terials for cement Theretheymeet
a blast Of burning pulverized coal,
blown in at high pressure from an
6-inch jet at the opposite end.
Where the materials enter the
kiln, the temperature is 1000 de-
grees Fahrenheit or more. AS they
tumble over and over on their
3-hour journey through the kiln
in the face Of the flame, they rise
graduallyto atemperatureof2 800
to 5000 degrees-more heat than
is required for almost any other
industrial process.
The workman, watching through
his speephole in the end ofthekiln,
must wear smoked glasses. 1t is
like looking at the sun.
And if you speak to him, you must
shout close to his ear to be heard
above the roar Of the flames.
In a big cement plant there will
be a dozen or more Of these kilns,
roaring and revolving side by side
in one great room.
A medium-sized kiln's output is
IS barrels an hour, and in that
time $500 pounds Of coal must be
blown into it.
You may have seen the great smoke
stacks in rows over a cement plant.
There is stack for everykiln, and four
kilns make medium-sized plant, with
5000 barrels capacity day or there
abouts. When you see four Of these
stacks together, you can know that
enough coal or equivalent fuel is being
burned in the kilns beneath to supply
the electricity for the homes, streets,
shops and industries Of three ordinary
cities of 10000 inhabitants each.
In certain town Of II, 600 inhabitants
there is 4-kiln plant where the heat
lost through the stacks, because Of the
great temperature and draft required
below, would, If it could be captured.
supplythree times the electric light and
power used by all the rest Of the town.
Burning cement, costly as 1t Is, is only
one Of the heavy fuel consuming oper-
atoms in cement making.
Every ton Of cement you buy takes the
equivalent OF more than half a ton Of
coal in heat and power to make it
more than 200 pounds, that is, to the
barrel OF 376 pounds.
