What a boon to mankind!---and what a vital valve in the iron industry. As the iron is taken from machine to machine, youth is discovering that machines do not consist ot that thing or 'ithis hick-a-ma-jig. Each machine is found to consist of a mass of intricate parts-axles, gears. wheels-a goodly array of fascinating and involving contraptions upon which man is dependent. Will wonders never cease? Seem- ingly, only black magic can accomplish all which an apparent lifeless piece of iron does endlessly and tirelessly, Machines have even played an important part in the fashion- ing of that stool on which the art student is sitting-a lad who is practically living the lite and studying the works of Raphael, Ru- ben, Whistler, Corotfmen whose art will live foreverl Here is a truly immortal and living study.
