THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1002. 15 NOW LOOK PLEASANT, PLEASE Verbal Snapshot at tha Oamara Man in Eii Umal Pom. THIS IS HIS BUSY SESAON, TOO liifflealtles He Raas Aaalast la Pleas img People Hk Waat "Their Plctaree Took" Joba that Par Writ. The photographer shook some tiny pellets from rial, cocked one ejre, anil "looked ! pleasant." I "Nerve tonic," he obeerTed, he j eoleralr swallowed the remedy. "Getting j ready for my busy aeaaon. If I am not a 1 wreck by the morning of December 25 It j won't be the fault of my customers. "Talk about troubles! If I were to alt down and think of mine I'd go crasy, but I've learned to look upon the funny side of my dally round with sitters. "If all my sitters were men It would be easy. Very few men are urged to a photog rapher'a atudlo by motives of ran It y. Us ually they do It to oblige an stories family, or they are In the public eye and being photographed Is a part of their business. Women and children are a worry, but a man generally takes what you give htm and don't haggle about price. "Tha person who makes me most tired Is the woman who wants )15-a-dozen-work for $3. She la what we call 'cheap people.' "Men expect to have their pictures look like them. Women expect to be Idesllsed. A photographer must be hair dresser, dressmaker and tailor. Also, he must bo a aurgeon In order to correct on the nega tive any defects, trifling or otherwise. In the sitter's physique. Superfluous flesh on the waist line, neck, shoulders or hips must be removed. On the other hand, if the woman is scrawny, with hills and valleys on her neck and shoulders, and wrinkles galore, all these excavations must be filled out. Such trifles as straightening crooked noses, reducing freckles and Inserting cupid's bow In uncompromising lips are en tirely within the photographer's province. If a girl Is too short to be Oibsonesque, atand her on a book, which Is carefully concealed by a skirt that Is a bit too long for her. Idealised Plctares Profitable. "But the one thiug that tries a photogra pher's soul Is to have a woman of 35 or 40 bring In 'the very photograph she wants,' an Ideal bead of a girl of 18 or 20, request ing that her picture be posed, draped and lighted 'Just like this.' The photographer, of course, always does this. "In the long run, it Is best for us to Idealise pictures. It la surprising the number of plain people who possess strong characters and desire honest likenesses. They Insist that they shall not be flattered and so sacrifice the photographer. That la, while they are satisfied with the likeness, their friends, with the best Intentions, find fault with the pictures because they are not pretty to look upon, and In pleas ing the one customer who didn't want flattery, the photographer loses several prospective ones. "Occasionally we have the misfortune to pose an effeminate man, and he la worse than the vainest woman. He Is fussy as to his attire, the curl of hla mustache, the curve of hla eyebrows, the set of his tie, and he Invariably Insists upon showing whatever jewelry he possesses. He follows the standard established by country people, largely on their wedding journeys, who go In for b display of new jewelry that la almost barbarlo In Ita profusion. The i woman In the case alwaya has a chain and a locket that muat be In evidence, a brooch which must be conspicuous, and her watch la pinned to the upper right hand corner of her cheat by an enameled pin. One hand will be literally covered with rings and if by any chance I reverse the pose so that the other hand ahows, milady from Wayback promptly changea the rings over to the hand which will show up In the photograph. The "40O' Poor Pay. "As a rule women are exceedingly pa tient about posing and will try, try again until both sitter and photographer are satisfied. Tact on the photographer's part Is essential to secure the beat results, and tact does not mean 'Jollying.' Woman never 1 shows -her capricious temperament more clearly than when posing before the camera. "Strange aa It may aeem, a photographer In a large city lays scarcely any value on the custom of what Is known aa the '400.' While being recognised aa phatographer-ln-ordlnary to the smart set serves as an ad vertisement with social climbers, the pho tographers do not regard such custom as promptly remunerative. The '400' want the best work, object to the price thereof and make the photographer wait anywhere from three to six months for his money. They are Insulted If he presents bis hill sooner, and then they proceed to forget his ex istence. "Members of the theatrical profession lend themselves most readily to photog raphy and would be the beat customers the photographer haa. If their money waa good. Put they hate to part with their hard arne salaries for photographs. They have an Idea that we ought to be glad to aupply them with photographs because their ex ceeding beauty serves to advertise our warea. Miss Tottie Llghtfoot wanta fifty pictures for nothing, of course and as sures us that she will send us just lots of trade when all the girls have aeen her - photographa. But ahe does not realise that each one of theae dear girls will endeavor to work the same little advertising graft. "An actreaa muat be beautiful in her pic tures, whatever ahe may be on the stage . or In private life. It Is not uncommon for a manager to say: 'Now you must give us some 'pretty pictures of Miss So-and-So. Oh, yes, I know she Is homely, but It won't do to aend out that sort 'of a picture. Just plump up her figure a bit and take the hump off her nose. No, the pictures won't look like her, but they will look well In the Sunday papers." Kllea Terry Hard to Photograph. Marly persona who are charming on the stage make poor photographic subjects. Take Maud Adams, for Instance, and Alice Fischer and Henrietta Crosman. Each haa a diethwet charm of manned, a delightful personality which makes her popular with the theater-going public, but they do not take good likenesses. Their vivacity Is their chief charm, and vivacious people seldom make statuesque pictures. "One of the hardest actresses to photo graph Is Ellen Terry. She tries her hardest to get into a photogrsphlc mood, but she Is by nature restless. She does not pose. I was sent to her apartments one time to tako a special series of photographs of her for Illustrating a story. I would Just get her posed at her desk and the picture focused, when she would remember that she wanted something from the next room, and away she would dart, and all the work had to be done over again. She always was so sweetly remorseful for her absent mindedness and so willing to try again that I felt as It I were dealing with a spoiled child. "Among my pleasant photographic memories Is one connected with Mrs. Mc Kinley. When Mr. McKlnley waa gov ernor of Ohio and Columbus wss their home, Mrs. McKlnley was photographed In a gallery my gallery for the first time In twenty-three years. She made a business of It, coming with a niece In attendance and remaining for several hours. In her quiet, unobstrusive way, she showed con sideration for every one concerned, even for the operator. . The Christmas Rash. "The easiest photographic subject that I evsr had was General Horace Porter. Not withstanding his enormous political and financial Interests, when he came to my gallery he laid everything else aside and placed himself absolutely In the bands of the operator, until the latter had taken every style and size of picture desired. And on leaving the studio he actually (hanked me for my kindness. "Nothing ruins your picture's chance of success like undue haste. That is why I say that I am getting my nerves in shape for the holiday rush. First, we will get the pictures of the babies in the family, then the older children will come In on Saturdays. The college girl will have some photographs made for her classmates, and at the last minute, mamma will rush upon the scene, say about December 24, after having decided to send her dear, old friend in Oshkosh a Christmas surprise. And she coolly expects the much-tried photographer to have those pictures In Oshkosh when the dear, old friend opens her Christmas packagea the next morn ing." Onr Armor for Hwaslaa Ships. A cargo of armor plate, enough to com plete two first-class battleships, will soon be sent to Russia. This proves that, so far ns war shlpa are concerned, this coun try leads the world. In medicine, we also hold the supremacy, because It Is Impos sible to mako a better remedy than Hoe tetter's Stomach Bitters to cure headache, belching, flatulency. Indigestion, dyspepsia, liver or kidney troubles, or malaria, fever and ague. It you have never tried It, do so t day. GENESIS OF TIIE STEEL RAIL Procesa of Fabricating tha Band Which Form the Higawaji of Commerce. MILLS OF THE CAPTAINS IN ACTION RELIGIOIS. Stephen M. Grlawold, bank president, ex state senator and churchman, will soon complete fifty years aa an usher In Ply mouth church, Brooklyn. President Wood row Wilson of Princeton university will deliver an address before the Presbyterian union at Ita dinner In Balti more on December 4. General Booth has acquired 30,000 acres of land in West Australia, where he will plant a large Salvation Army colony recruited from the slums of London. The archbishop of Canterbury, now In his eighty-first year, has been ma kin his an nual tour through hla province, delivering three or four speeches a day and otherwise shewing remarkable mental and physical agility for one of his years. Rev. Charles E. Stowe, a son of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," was Installed as pastor of the Central Square Congregational church at Brldgewater, Mass., recently. A commission of about twenty persons, nil Identified v 1th Sunday school work and representing the International lesson com mittee, will make a tour of the world in the Interest of bible schools. William Booth, the venerable Salvation Army leader, haa a large Itinerary laid out for his visit to this country that Is, large for a man of 73. He will go as far west as San Francisco, south to Birmingham, Ala., and east to Boston. Rev. Gustavus Unonlus, one of Chicago's oldest ministers. Is dead. In 1806, while visiting Sweden, he secured from Jenny Und a large endowment for hla church, St. Ansgarlus, which has been referred to since then as "Jenny Linda church." Rev. David I. Cheney of Gloucester, N. J., Is known aa the "hard working minister." He works during the week as a carpenter and on Sunday preachea the gospel. He went to Gloucester several years ago while president of the Methodist conrreaatlonal conference and established a church. Iater he left the conference and started an Inde pendent church. A year ago he transferred his church to Camden, where he now con ducts services. It has been noticed that of late Rev. Mr. Parkhurst of New York haa grown especially gloomful In his sermons, never sounding a note of glad ness, hopefulness or cheer. A Chl cagoan who heard him preach last Sun day says: "According to Dr. Parkhurst nothing is light or ever will be right. I should think this reverend gentleman would dislike to live in a country where one-third of all things are going to Tammany Hall. one-third to the devil and one-third to the dogs." Free Employment Bareaas. The success of free employment bureaus in Illinois reems to carry encouragement for tbose who tninK that such establish ments should be provided In everv state. During the last year a total of 27.779 men and 14.134 women applied for help, and work waa found for nearly 24.000 men and 13.UUO women.

This la no chronicle of Journeylngs, sentl mental or otherwise. It Is the unfolding of the life-story of a railway rail, a prosaic looking thing, yet Instinct with the strange, new poetry of this era, the wonder era of the machine. American steel rails glisten across the bleak wastes of Siberia and through leafy African forests. They climb the steep passes of the Andes and thread the Scandinavian peninsula. In short, they girdle the earth. It behooves good Ameri cans, therefore, to make much of the American steel rail. It matters little where you go to watch the genesis of the rails. Steel plants differ from one another In magnitude rather than In kind. Take, for type, the great steel works down the bay from Baltimore. From here went out the rails that make the track of the great Trans-Siberian railway. Some 1.500 tons of completed rails slide out from the rolling mill every twenty-four hoiys and take ship at the company'a dock for Europe, Africa, South America and the far cast. Quite half of this plant's output goes over seas. Get you a pass, admitting your person to the mills "at owner'a risk," and a guide, else you Infallibly will fall Into something, and set out toward the group of low mills and tall chimneys that make up the plant. Rolling clouds of smoke, sooty black and shot through with silvery spurts of bright, white steam, stand up against the sky. A mighty eddying wave of scarlet flares out against the somber cloud. "A devil's smithy," you And yourself muttering. Crossing a desert of hard, gray alag, the waste of the furnaces usurping the place of a time-honored marsh, you come fairly Into the hurry, the throb and beat and rumble of the mills. Tour guide pulls you out of the way of a huge traveling crane, straddling across four separate tracks and carrying to the ahipyards a ponderous Iron boiler. He drawa you from before a little electric engine, plung ing across the yards with a trainload of f.ery molds. All this before you get fairly Into the mills. The Realm of Pandemoalom. At a door marked plainly "No admit tance," he atops and ushers you directly Into Pandemonium. Eight high power blowing engines, driving at mad speed. All the place with a crash and roar aa of heavy artillery. The guide stoops and shouts Into your ear that these whizzing engines are manufacturing cold blasts; that Is, tbey age delivering air at a pres sure of twenty-five pounds to the square Inch. Stoves of titanic size turn tho rushing air from the enginea into a scorch ing hot blast and aend It along through a fat, brown pipe to feed the flames of the great blast furnace over the way. A blast furnace Is not unlike a high shouldered bottle, set up on Ita neck, with an opening in the bottom, which la now on top. To get the picture , right It Is necessary to build your bottle of brick and to build it some eighty or 100 feet high. This eort of furnace you don't atoke from below. Its mouth is up atop. The narrow neck of the bottle la supplied with entrance holes for the hot blaat pipes, kept from melting by a perpetual bath of cold water and a tapping hole to let out the melted iron. How the Stoking; Is Done. To aee the atoklng you go up a hoist You step on the grimy platform of the "cage," or openwork elevator, along with a pair of ponderoua buggiea of coke and dull Iron ore. You clutch the cold aide of an ore car with one hand, your hat with the other. A signal aounda and you rise slowly into the air through an uncom fortably openwork iron hoist. Arrived at. the top, you watt politely for the heavy buggiea to leave the lift. A workman touches a lever and the Iron track they rest on rises sharply at one end and the buggiea run easily down the Incline and out over the very mouth of the furnace, Another touch disrupts the bottom of the ore car and the load crashes Into the Iron mouth of the monster. Stepping to the edge of the platform, you aee that the load has fallen, not Into a pit of roaring flame. but onto the sloping sides of a great Iron cone. But when the last load la dumped the cone. In obedience to the lawa of Ita mechanism, sinks slowly into the furnace, the ore and fuel alide into the fire and a bellowing flamo rolls superbly skyward. A moment and the cone cornea evenly back to place and the demonstration ceases. Within that Inferno ia a lake burning with perpetual fire. Some thirteen years ago that furnace waa "blown In," that la. the first fire was laid on its cold hearth. Kindling wood and coke and limestone and more coke, with a little ore atop, were piled up to a third the height of the big furnace. Fire waa applied, and when It waa roaring nicely more wood and coke and lime were fed to It and a gentle breath of hot blast waa turned on to help combustion Before many days the furnace was running full blast and full charge, and ao, night and day, it haa roared ever alnce. Ton upon ton of ore and fuel and flux are tumbled Into Its Insatiable maw, and ton upon ton of molten metal pours out from the crucible at Ita base. Three shifts of men tend it day In and day out, from one year end to an other. What Happen la the Fsrssee, Just what goea oa Inside this raging furnace? Of the three materials dumped In at the mouth, the coke waa for fuel, the ore for melting and the limestone or flux wss there to take to Itself Impurities which otherwise might solidify and choke the furnace. Melted limestone, moreover floats on the surface of molten Iron and can be tapped off easily when the furnace la poured. These three thing falling in at the mouth of the furnace meet at first no very fierce heat, but as they sink lower aad lower in the throat the heat grows more Intense. The limestone first parts with Its carbonic acid and then be cornea quicklime. The iron ore turns spongy; the partlclea of iron begin to unite with phosphorus and silicon and car bon and sulphur, and other things in the charge which do It no manner of good. But by the time it reaches whit heat in tha crucible at the bottom, the quicklime ha wooed away the bulk of the Impurities, uniting them with Itself as fluid slag. Every particle of the original charge is converted Into either gas or fluid; nothing remains In the furnace from that particular doae of material. Clinkers In a blaat furnace would mean sheer ruin. The gas 1 piped off te feed the blowing engine and the blast stoves, and the Iron and alag are tapped oft below, to go their aeveral ways. Turn back to the hoist, now, and you will find your cage descending with the empty buggies and a full cage coming up to the mouth of th next furnace. The man at th winding engine la no reapector of visi tors. You must tak passage when th signal sounds, or await th next car. Down at th foot of th blast furnace th air I choking with th attach of gas. Aa DON'T BE A SHADOW El00P msm uommnmvtmto t Syphilis Can De Cured by Our Treatment In From 10 to 20 Days.

"rilffw llll I ODCfslCIO Tne Specific, although a new remedy to the general public, has been In use hi. iiiiai. ortuiriu as a contagious blood remedy for a great many years in South America, and used by two of the most successful specialists In this cotintrv. In offrrlnir it ta the public ss a certsln cure for this class of diseases we do so with perfect confidence, as the remedy waa compounded and given away free for the period of one year and notes taken of each case, and more than cases since January 1, ltsl, have been permanently cured without a single failure, makes It certain that at least a positive, safe and permanent cure has been found. The action of the Hill Specific differs widely from that of any other of the so-called remedies. It Is hlghlv stimulat ing and tonic In effect, but at the same time cooling. It strengthens and stimulates the heart, thereby accellerating and forcing circulation. For this reason the Specific will effect a cure In any case of pi.ralysls that Is curable by anv means. It Is cathartic and diuretic; it stimulates the liver, kidneys and bladder Into a faithful performance of their various func tions. It Increases the appetite, tones up and strengthens the stomach and digestive organs), thereby supplying the ss tem with rich, strong blood to replace the weak, vitiated and poisoned refuse that its action has removed. It makes the nerves steady, strong and enduring; cures dyspepsia, indigestion and constipation; removes all rolson or blood taint from the system, which it thoroughly renovates) and builds up anew. To the afflicted with this terrible disease we say, keep up courage and hope; a certain remedy Is at hand that will expel these poison germs from your svstem. also the drugs and medicines you may have taken heretofore In vr.ln hope of relief; at the same time. Instead of breaking down and under mining your constitution and forever rjinlng your after life, the 8peelilc will clear your brain, tone up and strengthen your nerves, and make you strong and well. You will realise that once again your system is entirely free from poison-taint and life Is still well worth living. This remedy Is also a permanent cure for Consumption In Its enrllest stages, Catarrh, Gout. Rheumatism, in all Its forms, weakness or palpitation of the heart, gall stones and stone In the bladder, Jaundice and malaria, early decay and loss of manhood. Do not waste your time or money experimenting. Come today, for tomorrow may be too late. Office hours, 9 a. m. to 8i30 p. m. every day In the year. HILL MEDICAL COMPANY, Rooms 9, 10 and 11 Patterson Block. Phone 803 1623 FtRNIM STREET, 0UIH8, NEB. eerie red light Oils the abed, and a slow river of molten metal, white aa flame at the tap-hole, but glowing ever more darkly red as it flows, Is pouring sluggishly through a tangle of sand gutters into the open mouths of a row of Gartuan ladles, drawn up on flat cars In a trench below. Ladle" Is the Ironmaster's term for the vast caldrons which make nothing of a burden of thirty tons of foaming, fluid metal. A HlTer of Fire. On one aide of the flery river a llttlo sluice gate lets a current of lrrldescent. floating slag drain off from the top of the pure metal and go meandering away In a vivid glassy brook to the Iron alag car which awaits It. A carload of the half- cooled stuff looks like nothing so much a the lava bed of a sleeping volcano. Through Irregular fissures In the dull crust come tiny sulphurous flames and an angry glow from the smothered fires below. While you cough and shield your scorched face from the glare and fierce heat from the crimson streams you learn about a notable change in the practice of a modern steel plant. Once the molten river before you would have been decoyed through a series of furrows connected with the main channel and allowed to cool partially. Then the Iron In the smaller molds tho pigs would have been broken with aledge hammers from the large masses the sows. It was warm business and strenuous. But the world moves. Nowaday the fiery stream pours directly into the waiting ladles and an electric engine whisks It away, still glowing, across the yards to the Bessemer works. "Cold pig" is made only when the converter are idle and even then a neat device does away with the heavy task of pig-making. The fluid Iron Is run into a series of metal molds, working on the endless chain principle, and passed through the "chill" tank filled with cold water coming out at the other end suffi ciently cooled and shrunken to be slipped from the molds and loaded upon trains bound for the Bessemer works. Wholesale Pyrotechnic. Fyrotechnlcs await you within the dark Bessemer mill. A fierce gush of blinding white fire streams hissing athwart the dim enclosure, accompanied by a vivid rain of bursting stars. A squat, black retort le belching from its short, thick neck this broad stream of glory. It la a Bessemer converter. The long drawn, hissing roar is the screech of the hot blast, tearing It war through the fluid metal, winnowing out impurities and making of iron steel. Every moment the flame grows more ru rious; the twenty-ton converter trembles under tho violence of the surging within. Splashes of fluid slag begin to be thrown out and fall In increasing snowera oi crimson sparks into the black pit below. Suddenly a tinge of amethyst comes over the whiteness of the Are; the flame dwin dle and dies down. The carbon la burned out. Quick comes a warning signal; an other moment'a burning may spoil the flery broth. The huge iron egg is tipped on one side, vomiting a atream of sparks which break harmlessly against the oppo site wall. From out the dark awlnga round a big ladle and administers a "chaser," a dose of splelgeleisen, which Is nothing more nor less than a preparation or man ganese. The converter responds with a fine flush of bluish fire. Another massive ladle, swung from a rumbling overhead crane,' presents itself before the converter, which tipping still further down, pours out its charge of blinding acarlet metal. Away goea the crane, across the pit to where on a long electric train, rows of tall earthen Ingot moulda are standing. A fire clay plug ia removed from th bot tom of the ladle and a slender stream of the fluid ateel, bright as flame, drips Into the foremost mould. When that Is full the train moves up one mould space, and so on until the ladie Is empty of all but slag. Then It goes, spilling fire across the pit again, to await the charge from the next converter. The mould train rattles away to the rolling milt. Filling; the Coaverters. You mount a grimy staircase to a gallery overhanging the pit and watch the filling of a fresh converter. This is its first charge today and it first must be heated by a fire of coke, else even it refractory ganlster lining would not stand the sudden on slaught of white-hot metal. It turns up side down to discharge the burned out coke and then gets passively on Its side to re ceive its dose from the blast furnace. It Ilea on Ita side during the operation because, as you easily can see from the gallery. Its bottom is speckled all over with holes. Those admit the blast. The melted metal lies In the hollow of Its rounded side below the level of the outermost row of openings. When It Is turned upright there is no fear lest the fluid Iron run out for aa the con verter rises the hot blast Is turned on and through each of the holes goes rushing a mlghtly scorching wind, lifting the masa of metal and dancing it about until It aeetbes to the very mouth of the big converter. At first the spectacle is a tame one, a mere spouting of sparks. A little silicon is burning. But as the silicon becomes ex hausted the oxygen blast lays hold upon the carbon and a long fierce flame appears, growing in strength until, aa before, the flame suddenly drops. Then, since a spe cific amount of carbon ia wanted in steel, the charge ia recarburized by the addition of a dose of cptelgeleisen. All this apectacular display la the reault of an Inspired guess. Sir Henry Bessemer waa neither a practical ironmaster nor an expert theoretical chemist. Hla daring scheme of rendering iron malleable by a powerful air blast blown throughout the charge waa at first so variable in results aa to court predictions of ultimate failure. But capped by Mushet's tonic of ferroman ganese. It has revolutionized modern met allurgy. Rollins; the Ingots. Now, to follow that train of ingot molds serosa the yards to the blooming mills. No sooner arrived there than the metal that you saw poured like flery molasses Is set and cool enough to leave the molds, which are plucked off the shrunken Ingots, leav ing those rectangles of fire standing on the Iron cars. Subject one of those: crimson blocks to the pressure of the rolls and It would Instantly go to pieces. Like a badly baked muffin, it Is pasty at the heart. It must be allowed to crystallze before It Is rolled. But this does not mean that It la al lowed to cool. A erane aelzes the glowing thing and hurries It toward a pit, where leaping tongues of flame and a fierce roar ing proclaim a burled fire. Somewhere In the dark a lever la touched; sliding doors glide apart and a sheet of flame screeches up from the gas pit. Consigned to this bed of flame, the ingot Is closed In by the Iron door and semi-darkness falls upon the part of the mill. But see, her la an ingot bound for the rolls. Lowered to tha roll table, the acarlet Blab I gripped and guided toward the straight and narrow way. Before the rolls are reached it must have Ita upper end nipped off, for the top of every Ingot Is, in shop dialect, "rotten." So here cornea a screaming circular aaw, biting Its way through the white, hot alab and sending out a great plnwheel of hissing sparks. Spit ting and groaning, the glowing mass Is caught by the rolls, forced and aqueezed and pinched through, and what a moment before was an Incandescent cube comes out a long, narrow bar of crimson. Strange Iron ! hands rise between the rolls and finger the glowing bar, turning It over and pre senting It to a fresh set of rolls. Once mora It Is strained through, coming out still longer and thinner and more darkly red. Through the dim air, quivering with reflected heat, the long red rall-rlbbons aeem to writhe and twist grotesquely as they glide on, ever longer and longer, clanging and clashing harshly as they fall from th crushing rolls. The men prowl ing about the flaming gaa pita look like so many Imps of darkness. Behind long, black screens shielding their eyes from the glare of the Incandescent metal, work the men who guide the eliding rails. A delicate task, for should a red hot bar of metal thirty feet long evade its groove It would writhe up to deal murderous blows to the men behind the levers. And so the Rail I Made. At the tar end of the long mill more hissing and spitting and more plnwheels of sparks mark the spot where the finished rail, shaped and finished to approbation, Is being sawed to correct length and slid out Into the open to cool. Harmless enough they look as they fade from dull red to gray. Yet above the pile the air quivers like the air about a furnace. It Is well to give a wide berth to Innocent-looking gray rails about a rolling mill. St much for the birth, education and up bringing of a steel rail.
