LEAD P1rE.-Mr ". ". Thompson on Water
street is one Of the greatest Pipe-layers IN the
Western country. Certain it Is, that he turns
out from his new patented process, a species OF
lead pipe which cannot be cycclcd III any OF the
properties which give value or utility TO the alt-
Gle We stepped INTO the mandatory on Mon
day last, and saw several hundred feet turned out
III !. few minutes. 1t is manufactured by late
invention-tlc metal, in melted state. Is forced
out by a hydraulic pressure OF immense force
which gives to it greater compacneSs ana
perfect equality of thickness every side
The inside of the tube is polished as smooth
as il is possible to make the metal. The process
is very rapid, and. if it was desirable, the pipe
might be run out any desired length. Pipe OF an
inch diameter. is usually run out IN Az, 81 or 6O
feet lengths. When it comes from the press,
piece is cut off and turned inside out; If 1t shows
no cracks in the process Of turning, 1t Is pro-
nounced good, and is stamped and rolled up like
a coil of rope. All the pipe sold is warranted
The invention, we believe, was patented in ISL,
and was owned in Philadelphia. Mr.. Thompson
has the exclusive right Of manufacturing for the
whole western country, including New Orleans !;
and we do not doubt that he will supply the
whole demand. st. LOUIS Hep
