Refers to article'by Professor Semikin and Engineer
Polovchenko on new construction for hearth of blast
furnace. Leonidov states that in spite of the new
construction the effect of molten pig on upper sur-
face of the hearth is not varied. He also adds that
any type of damage to the cooling system will great-
ly speed up disintegration of the hearth, and cause
great damage to foundations of the furnace.

Magnetodynamics developed from study of magnetic
properties of ferromagnetic substances with various
frequencies of magnetic field. Plan was suggested in
1922 for development of these questions in directions
indicating the study of processes of magnetization
both in periodic and aperiodic fields. In the middle
1930's new fields were opened in the phenomenon of

All metals of the "transitional" groups, among them
ferroma.gnetics, have sharply expressed "anomalies" of
electrical properties in comparison with "simple"
metals. Basic cause of these "anomalies" lies in
specific structure of the electron energy spectrum of
the "transitional" metals, resulting from unbalanced

layers in the electron shell of isolated atoms of
these elements. In ferroma.gnetics, this detail of
the energy spectrum leads to the existence of spon-
taneous magnetization which determines concrete form
of the electrical "anomalies" of these substances.
