air of a goat-skin bellows. However man may have found out how to make iron, it was made by the same
method in ancient times in Africa, in China, in India, as well as in the countries around the Mediterranean. In

duced thus all the metal with which Caesar armed his victorious legions. The iron which held together the oak
of Columbus’s ship was made in a simple fire-place like a blacksmith’s forge. Iron for Washington’s cannon
and musket was made in tall furnaces not unlike big stone chimneys. The fire was fed by the forced draft com-

stories are true of the splendid shining swords of ancient heroes.
