THE lecture on Electrical Forging announced for this evening by the Electric Club promises to be of considerable interest, particularly to those pursuing scientific studies. 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. Recently he delivered a lecture on his newly discovered process before the Franklin Institute, illustrating it with a large number of lantern slides, most of which will be shown to-night. Mr. Burton will also have on exhibition specimens of the work which can be done by electrical forging.
