for an Interesting story, which accounts
for his entertaining fiction regarding
the Identity of the Mask, that by some
has been accepted as fact.
Vultaire says that the queen, wife
of oglis XIII, after giving birth to
Louis 'XIV, was delivered at a subse
quent hour of a second son, whose
birth the king resolved to conceal to
avoid a dispute about a succession to
the throne. It being the opinion of cer
tain legal authorities that the first born
of twins has a doubtul claim to any In
heritance depending upon birth. With
this view the child was confided to a
aurae, and afterward to a governor.

discovered the secret of his birth, and
was forthwith placed In confinement.

which were the exact counterpart of
t i brother, the king's. Unfortunately
or the truth of the tale. Voltaire had
no proofs to back it up. Napoleon I
was inclined to believe Voltaire's story.
and had a thorough but unsuccessful
search made of the national archives
in order to verify it.
Since Voltaire's time many theories
have been advanced as to the identity
of the mysterious "Man of the Iron
Mlask" but they have all failed for
labk of substantlal proof upon some
material point. The prisoner has been

mask he wore was of black velvet, the
shin piece being fitted with steel springs

Brought hlattllll to that prison.
The register of the lastile states:
"On Thursday, .~ptember 1I.116, at
3 o'clock in the afternoon. M. de St.
Mars arrived from Isles of Ilainte Mar
guerite to ttake chargl as governor of
the ilastlle. He brought with him in
litter a pirisoer whom he had with him
for mitany years at PlI'nerol, whom he
compelled to keep masked continually,
and whose nlant he did not give."
A passage in the Journal of M. Dy
mnca, lieutenant of the lastile (one of
the few authentic records now extant).
says:
'The prisoner was put i the tower or
La Bertardiere, which care had been
taken to furnish with all that was
necessary. The Bleur de Rosarges, who
likewise came from the Isles de Saints
Marguerite with St. Mars, was directed
to wait upon and take care of the afore
said prisoner, who was fed by the gov
ernor."
The "Man With the Iron Mask" died
Nov. 1., 1703, regarding whloh Dyonca
writes:
'The unknown prisoner (whose face
Is covered witb a black velvet mask)
whom St. Mars had brought with him
and had long kept under his charge,
feeling slightly Indlsposed after at
tending mass, died to-day at 10 at night
without having experienced any oonsid
erable Illness. He could not have suf
fered less. M. Oltaut, our chaplain,
confessed him yesterday. Burprised by
dqath, he was unable to receive the
sacraments, and our chaplain exhorted
him for a moment before he died. He
was interred Tuesday, the 20th of No
vember, at 4 .p the afternoon, In the
cemetery of St. Paul. His burial cost
40 livres."
Dyonca's exactitude is fully borne out
by an extract from the register of bur
iale for the parish of St. Paul, accred
ited to the vicar, under his hand, Feb.
9, 1790. This entry is as follows:
"In the year 1703, the 19th of Novem
ber, died at the Bastile, Marchlall, aged
41 or thereabouts. The body was in
terred in the burial ground ut $t. Paul
on the 20th of said month In the pres
ence of M. Rosarges, major of the Bas
tile, and of M. Relh. sergeant of the
Bastile, who have amZed their signs
tures."
Marchlall was an assumed name
given to bame Inquiry. as was also the
alleged age of the dead man.
After his death the utmost care was
taken to destroy every vestige of his
existence. Everything that he had
been in the habit of using, his clothes,.
bedding, etc., was burnt. The walls of
his room were scraped and replastered,
the window panes were changed, and,
according to some authorities, the body
Itself was consumed with quicklime.
Now for the proof identifying Count
Mattloll with that masked prisoner who
entered the Bastile that September
afternoon nearly 200 years ago.
The order of Louis XIV. dated April
28, 1679. to arrest Mattioli and imprison
him at Pignerol contains these words:
"No one must know what becomes of
this man." Catinat afterward wrote to
Luvois. the French minister of war:
"No one knows the name of this knave,
not even the omcers who aided in his
arrest." Finally as Italian pamphlet
published in 1683, two years after the
event, and-this is important-fifty
years before the identity of the Mask
began to be much discussed, says: "The
secretary of state (Mattioll) was sur
rounded by ten or twelve troopers, who
seized. mocked and carried him to Pig
le.rol."
It In etnhllsheld hv the tlrimsn reris
ernOl.t
It is esttahlished by the prison regis
ter of the lRattile that the masked man
wits "Ia prisoner whom St. Mars had
had with him for many yearsn t Pig
neril." In August. 1681, St. Mars re
signed the governorship of Pignerol for
that of the Isles. At that time all the
prishoners except five who had been un
der his surveillance when he took
charge were either dead in at liberty.
This point ia well established. The
five were: Dauger and La Rh'lere, Her
tanllts of Foiu(.luet. who had been Louli
XIV's superintendent ,of finance', and
who was condemneil for peculation and
Imlprisoned at Pllanerol, where he died;

ELECTRIC NMRLTING.
A System That Can Be Used In Connsstion
With Water Power.
The new Tausaig electrio smelting
process, whch is now passing through
the experimental state in Germany,
givel exceptional promise, and should
its practical test prove satflstetory,
it will modify recent electro-metallurgl
gal developments, progressive as they
have been, to a remarkable extent. The
process consists of first reducing and
smelting the ore, and then in casting
the metal. Both processes are oarried
on In a vacuum. The rarefaction of the
air has the effect of removing all bub
bles of gas or air, and the casting is
thoroughly homogenous. The apparatus
consists, essentially, of a long air-ight
smelting chamber, in which the hearth
Inclines toward a central opening,
through which the metal passes into
the mold. The chamber is packed with
ore and flux, or metal, as the case may
be, and the furnace is lined with glased
are bricks, whloh so thoroughly Insulate
it that there is no esoape o ourret.
Within fifteen minutes of the turnialg on
of the current, the heat developed will
melt pig Iron, and it takes but little
longer to melt Slemens-Martin steel. As
no carbon is present, the fused metals
are almost pure: oxidation or bllistering
and the deleterious effect ofgasee evolv
ed are prevented by the rarefied atnos
phere, which at the same time inereases
the fluidity of the metal, and the east
ings produced some dense and hon ge
noous.
The most obvious advantage claimed
for this process, in the smelting of raw
ores, Is that it can be worked wholly by
water power. This ability to dispense
with fuel is a matter of great moent
in mountainous and remote ore-produc
ing districts, which have abundant wa
ter, but no coal. In the fusing of iron,
it is claimed that the operation Is rapid
and amenable to continuous worlitng;
that it improves the quality of the saLt
Ings, and that, even where steam power
Is used to generate the current, it ives
a saving of 30 to 50 per cent in fuel. ,The
practical limit of the procees as at pres
ent organised would appear to be, the
handling of about one and a half king
of metal In one charge, which would re
quire a furnace or fusion channe ,gt
from thirty-six to forty feet in length.
By applying to such a channel a current
of 30,000 ampheres and fifty volts, or
say about 1.000 horse power, the euJrq
charge of 1,000 pounds can be fse4g
run Into castings In a quarter o an
hour. In the making of steel and hIon
castings by smelting In the Siemens
Martin regenerative furnace, 1,000 to
1,400 pounds of coal are burned to smelt
2,.000 pounds of Iron. In the Taussig
process, even assuming that water pow
er is not available and that the dynamo
and air pumps must be worked by
steam, It I. claimed that the smelting of
2,000 pounds of Iron or steel can be ef
fected by the consumption of from 730
to 800 pounds of steam coal, and econo
my of nearly 50 per cent in fuel. Where
the steel Is treated in crucibles the
economy is still greater, especially if
the coal used be of an Inferior quality.
By means of this process, it is stated,
pig iron containing under three per
cent total carbon has been produced,
and it is believed that where desirable,
the carbon limit can be brought down
to that of steel. It is estimated that a
plant equipped with 500 or $00 hore
power, using a good quality 48 per cent
ore, can produce pig iron for i$ to 3.60
per ton, allowing $2.40 for the cost of
ore. Certain plants in the south al
ready turn out iron at a ower cost teas
this; but the figure can t.a ..eatly re
duced where a water power Is available
for the generation of the electric cur
rent. If this system can be put on a
commercial basis it will be most talu
able for the treatment of ores In the
neighborhood of water power, or even
where water power exists near enough
to permit of the cheap transmissilon of
current. fuel being presumably high
priced. For instance, an electric gen
erateing plant might be erected near the
coal mines, and power could be generat
ed by using slack coal in producers, the
gas thus obtained heating the boilers.
From here the current could be trans
mitted to the ore mines where the smelt
ing furnaces were erected. The work
ing of the plants now being put up in
Prance and Sweden will be watched
with interest by the iron smelters of
the south, which. with its numerous
waterways, would be a most favorable
field for the utllisation of any such suc
es......ul system.-Boston Transcript.
