cupola, but when lie mentioned
•t the old moulders in the eetab
lisbment only smiled at what they
had always believed to be an im
possibility. However, lie made the
experiment, and after several at

llie steel and made it into plon
points, and was rewarded I.) find
ing that his experiment had proved
a complete success. The metal, a-
tt flows from the cupola, it is of ..

off an abundance of sparks. Mi-

pounds of these scraps, and much
of the steel has been used in mak
