This slag, as it is termed, when drawn from the furnace, is run into oblong sand-moulds, from which, when cold, it is taken outside to the 'slag-bank, as it is called 'slag-mountain, we prefer saying; and an ugly mountain it is! where it is broken into small pieces, examined to see whether it still contains metal, and if not, is left to accumulate.
So hard, solid, and indurated do these slags, in process of time, become, that a very tall chimney, the most conspicuous object in the works, is built on the top of a slag-bank. And this beautiful commodity is not without its use in the arts.
