The most terrific heat known to science is a torch operated
by oxygen and acetylene, radiating a heat of 6,300 degrees,
by means of which it is possible to weld aluminum, heretofore
regarded as an impossibility. The torch makes a flame that will
cut through two inches of solid steel in less than a minute and
pierce a twelve-inch piece of the hardest steel in less than ten
minutes--a task that would take a saw almost twenty hours to
accomplish.
When the soul burns with the heat of great enthusiasm, it will burn
through obstacles that are entirely insuperable to ordinary efforts.
