Matie contains cop- por and nickel' with * a little sulphur -| snd iron. The slag contains rock that HERBERT C. Has invented a new method of hour, was in the ore and was burned out. Both of these substances fall together into a tank, which is called a "settler." Tho matte is heavier than the slag, and so sinks to the bottom. The slag flows off into the slag cars, one of which always stands on the track below each furnace. The slag is carried out to the dumping ground. As it cools it forms good solid round, on which it is hoped sowie ay to erect new shops and offices. The matte, ad already explained, sinks to the bottom of tho "settler." Ax vou wateli an electric erano comes moving slowly down the building, carrying an enormous pot which it carefully deposits in front of the "settler" directly under a clay-lined spout. At the end of this spout a steel bar sticks into the "settler" near the bottom.

In his left hand he seizes a long iron rod, on the top of which a point- ed wad of clay is fastened. Watching his chance he carefully places the wad i of clay ip position, rams it home and closes the spout. Along comes the crane, drops its tentacles or hooks, which attendants fasten to the sides of the pot, which is now filled with glowing metal. Slowly the pot is lifted up and carried down the long building till it reaches a curious bar- rel-shaped vessel with a gaping mouth. That, your guide informs you is a Bessemer converter.

They May Prove To Be the Greatest Peacemakers In the World, "Anticipationists," if we may coin the word, expect great things of the airship, and the greatest not the most obvious, writes The Dundee Advertiser. Two or three years ago an American novelist, who dislikes protection, wrote , /] Ha HE maxim of many housewives je, Wine Then, in doubt blame the flour" This is unfair, If your baking goes wrong, investigate --find the cause; * Look to your stove, your yeast, your baking methods. If you succeed in pinning the trouble down to the flour--if you clear yourself then take up the flour question in dead earnest. 5s» Consider that flour, to be successful from a baking standpoint, must be fine to produce light bread or pastry, pure to make that bread or. pastry wholesome, and rich in nutriment to make it nourishing. The good housewives all over the country are learning that Royal Household has these three qualities in the greatest degree. Ogilvie's Royal Household is milled by the most modern methods, purified by the only process that makes for absolute purity and made only from Manitoba Hard Wheat which - contains the highest percentage of nutriment.
