A successful method of manipulating metals by electric currents obviously would offer many advantages over the present one of heating by means of coal fires. Inventors realizing this have for years been directing their attention toward the perfection of some such process. Mr. Burton is the first to find a method which has been satisfactory from a commercial point of view and consequently he will speak this evening with a thorough understanding of his subject.
