Dsmascus Blades.

Nlcolo Milolas, Tor some time consul
in the East, IN endeavoring 10 discover
the processes employed by the Kourdes
in the manufacture of the celebrated Da-
mascus sword blades, Observed 1.
That the manufactures in which these
blades were made were situated at the
declivity OF the mountains, near CAS-
cades, the water of which, falling from
rock to rock, arrived in the most limpid
state in the reservoirs constructed for
its reception, in which reservoirs the
blades are tempered. These reservoirs
are themselves placed in situations
where the air is very pure. These con-
ditlons OF purity Of air and water are
considered necessary for the success OF
the operation.
2 Iron ofihe purest quality is select
ed. Submitted to very high Temporal
ture t" first temperng is commenced
when the IRON is at a white heat; the
metal is exposed before fusion. the fuel
employed being placed on each side of it,
the led hot iron is then covered as quick
Iy as possible with fatty and oily matter.
paste made from bones, wax &c. This
operation tends according to tie manu-
facturrrs, to render the blade flexible.
The second temperlng is performed by
the same process. with tins difference,
that the heated iron, after having thrown
off considerable quantities OF sparks and
having been exposed, is covered with
paste composed of powdered bones and
purified mutton sLet. The third t"mper
ing is effected, by di>posing the metal in
such a manner, that it may bp siezed by
man on horseback. who rides at full
galIop in order that the blade which he
Keeps in an elevated position may re-
ce;ve the impression of be air.

Immense Destruction of Rats.

A grand battle against the rats in the
sewers OF Paris, which ore about $50
leagues IN extent, commenced a short time
since. The result up TO this time is said
to be the destruction OF $50 900 rats. and
II Is expected that by the first Of next
month the number will have reached 6Oo..
900. The municipal authorities are Of
opinion that by making four battles wear,
Paris will be rid Of these destructive yes-
MN. Several plans OF destruction were
made Use OF hy the different brigades Of
sewefmen, tut that which WIS found TO h.
most successful was the placing a large
leather sack, in which large piece Of
mutton tul.ow was placed---a dainty Of
winch thes' animals are very fond at
the corner Of each sewer, and towards
which the animals were driven. The
quarters which furnished the greatest num-

rue Pascal, and the FouLuurg s.. hyarceau.
