mHE vast pageant of modern industry, going on day after day, reaches a splendid dramatic climax in the manufacture of iron and steel. The strange landscape of a somber ironworking district, with its long funereal coal sheds and slag piles, and its towering colonnades of blast furnaces, Hying streamers of smoke day by day and flaring oariners of flame by night, gives a sense of turmoil and power as of the work-oppressed Titans. Within the great buildings momentous things are taking place. We enter a long shed like a dusky cavern; the cliffs lining one side are the open-hearth furnaces so-called, though the billows of seething steel within can be seen only through portholes. From a ledge on the canyon's side we watch ( a great bowl (called a ladle, but ihiaped like a Chinese teacup without a handle, placed below the spout of the furnace to be tapped. Now the plug is removed, and the dim vault of the building lights up with the glare from the fiery liquid steel streaming into the huge teacup and the shower of sparks spattering up from ft. The cup fills, overflows and a bubbling fiery white-hot cream spills over to curdle into the black slag on the floor lelow. Next a huge crane travelling on overhead rails moves quietly over to the ladle, picks it gently up by its two projecting ears and carries it, with is seventy tons of molten steel, over to a row of ingot molds on the other side of the canyon, as easily as you might l carry a cup of coffee. Steel is a combination of iron usually with carbon, arid is the form assumed by the metal when it does its mightiest work. Twentieth century civilization is built on iron, almost always in the form of steel. Steel ships carry us across the ocean: we ride in steel cars drawn over steel rails by steel and iron locomotives; our great office buildings have steel skeletons, and steel needles make our garments from cloth woven from steel machinery. Steel and iron machinery is at once our servant and our master. The ancients and the alchemists of the middle ages called gold the king of metals. Kings count for little nowadays, and iron wields the eovereign power. The story of iron and its helpmeet, coal, is at once a fairy story and the story of modern civilization. What is iron? It is one of the commonest of the ninety chemical elements of which the world is made, for only oxygen, silicon and aluminum occur in greater abundance. Iron, in combination, has been calculated to make up about 5 per cent by weight of the earth’s crust; though some have surmised that the unknown depths, if we could explore them, would show a larger portion of iron. It enters into most recks and earths, the chlorophyll of plants, and the blood corpuscles of animals. Iron ores are very widely distributed over the face of the earth. The I’nited States is at present the leading ore-producer and consumer,

producing about two-fifths of the world’s total output. Iron is proAmerican Statek. The world’s greatest iron mining center, producing about four-flfiths of this country’s iron ore output, is the Mesabi district at the head of Lake Superior. Vast deposits of this ore lie in open-pit mines, from which the soft ore can be scooped up like sand by steam shovels that pick up two tons at each shovelful. The labor cost of digging may average 16 cents a ton, or run as low ’as 4 cents a ton. The Great Lakes furnish an incomparable water high way from Duluth to Chicago, Gary. Ashtabula, or Pittsburgh: and the giant ore locks and labor-saving machinery have reduced the cost of loading and unloading to a few cents a ton. Outside of the United States the most important ore-producing region is the Lorraine-Luxemburg district, on the borders of France, Belgium, and Luxemburg. duced in about twenty-eight of the
