How INDIA. .RuRBER SHoEs ARE MADE

How INDIA-RuBBER SHOES ARE MADE
Contrary to the general impression, India
rubber, in the process of manufacturing, is
not melted, but is passed through heated
iron rollers, the heaviest of which weigh
twenty tons, and thus worked or kneaded
as dough is at bakery. The rubber is near
ly all procured from the mouth of the Am
azon, in Brazil, to which point it is sent
from the interior Its form, upon arrival,
is that of jug or pouch, as the natives use
clay moulds of that shape, which they re-
peatedly dip into the liquid caoutchouc
until coating OF the desired thickness ac-
cumulates, when the clay is broken and
emptied out. The rubber, after being wash
ed, chopped fine, and rolled to putty ike
consistency, is mixed with a compound of
metallic substances. principally whitehead
and sulphur, to give it body or firmness.-
Those sheets designed for the soes of the
shoes, are passed under rollers having a dia-
mond figured surface. From these the soles
are cut by hand and the several pieces re-
quired to perfect the shoe are put together
by females on last. The natural adhesion
of the rubber joins the seams. The shoes
are next vanished and baked in an oven
capable of holding about two thousand
pair, and heated to about three hundred de-
grees, where they remain seven or eight
hours. This is called the vulcanizing .
process, by which the rubber is hardened.
A large quantity of cotton cloth and cot
ton flannel is used to line shoes, and is ap-I
piled to the surface of the rubber while it is
yet in sheets. Not particle Of any of these
materials is lost. The scraps of rubber are
re-melted, and the bits of cloth are chopped
up with a small quantity of rubber, and
rolled out into substance resembling paste
board, to form the inner sole. The profits
of this business have been somewhat cur
tailed of late by the prevailing high price of
rubber, which has varied within year from
twenty to sixty cents per pound. The de-
mand however, is very large. A species of
rubber-shoe lined with flannel, is extensive
ly used in some parts of the country as a
substitute for the leathern shoe.

MoNEY-OLDEN TiMEs.-At first, all ma
tions bartered, and exchanged one commod-
itv for another, but that being attended with
considerable labor, by kind of custom or
usage among all civilized nations, silver and
gold, as most portable, pliable and beautiful,
and less subject to rust, have been, as early
as the days of Abraham chosen as the me-
dunn of exchange and estimation of all
things, and were at first paid out by weight,
till, in process of time, the way of coinage
or stamping money was discovered.
When Julius Caesar first landed on the
island of Great Britain, the inhabitants used
brass money, and also rings OF iron, as
a currency. After some time the govern
ment coined money of other metals, of which
great variety of pieces and specimens yet
remain in the cabinet Of the curious, not to
mention the Roman coin, which was in
more or less use until late period.
At the time of King Richard |. money
coined in the eastern parts of Germany, be-
ing for its purity highly esteemed, some of
these esterlings were sent to England, and
employed in the mint, and from thence the
money was called esterlings or sterling mon
ey, as some authors say, (as the first gold
coined in England was by King Edward The
H., and was called fOrence8, because 70
rentines were the coiners.) though others say
of the Saxon word Ster rule or standard, and
another opinion prevailed that it was so
called from the stars on the Saxon groats,
which were by the people, at that time,
called 6teOTlings.

CoNsTITtToNALITYo OF THE PRoHrBIroRy
LIQUOR LAw.-The Supreme Court of
Michigan is equally divided on the con-
stitutionality of the prohibitory liquor
law enacted in that State; four of the
Judges sustaining the law, and the other
four pronouncing it null and void. The
effect of this decision was TO send the
case back, which had been brought up on
an appeal to the Circuit Court, in which
it originated, the Judge of which was
one OF those pronouncing against the
law. A second case was brought before
the Supreme Court, when the bench was
not full, and the constitutionality of the
law was sustained. A question is vet
pending before the oourtwhether ale is an
intoxicating drink within the meaning of
the statute. .t
