TORCH OF TERRIFIC HEAT. 

 New Invention Pierces Twelve-inch Steel and Welds Aluminum. 



CLEVELAND, Feb. 10.— A torch operated by oxygen and acety- 

 lene, radiating a heat of 6,300 degrees, said to be the most terrific 

 known to science, has been invented here. 



By means of this torch, it is possible, it is declared, to weld alumi- 

 num, heretofore regarded as an impossibility. The torch makes a 

 flame that will cut through two inches of solid steel in less than one 

 minute and pierce a twelve-inch piece of the hardest steel in less than 

 ten minutes. It would take a saw almost twenty hours to do this 

 work. — N. Y. World.
