Yesterday paid visit TO the new shot tower
OF our enterprising citizen, Ferdinand keli-

The lead is melted in furnaces at the top,
and there poured through sieve ladies, from
whence il falls into a tank, filled with wafer,

and carried to a revolving drum, heated ny

thence il passes into circular wooden re-
cepfacle formed like barrel, which IS re-
volved by clock work; this is the polisher.-
From the polisher IL passes on set OF m
clmed tables about six inches apart, and one
a few inches below the other, between which
are placed troughs, over these the shot roll,
the perfect ones passing from one table TO
the other, and So down To receiver IN the
lower room, while the imperfect ones drop
INTO the troughs. aud are taken out and re-
melted In the lower room are cases OF
sleeves, of different sizes, commencing with
the largest sized shot at the top, and ending
with tho smallest Into hopper At the top
of these cases the shot Is poured, and by
machinery the case is moved backwards and
forwards until the different sizes are sep0ra-
ted. when the sleeves are drawn ont, and each
emitted into a shot box numbered according
10 the size. The whole process Is simple
and perfect, and the shot finished w our
