MAKING E PENS.

A correspondent; Of the Tribune recently visited
Birmingham, England, and thus describes the
manufacture of Steel Pens -
Joseph elliott is celebrated wherever school
houses are known for his steel pens, and his man
~ufactory we next visited. Most American school
boys are familiar with that name, and America is
one of his greatest customers. The steel comes
mainly from Sheffield, in thin strips of about three
inches width, and is first submitted to a rolling
process to reduce it to the required thickness for
pens. This is d)ne by boys and men in Il sort
of basement where dust and grease seem to be
abundant. The other rooms are generally air
ard spacious, and girls and young women the en-.
~ployees, numbering about 500 in oil. The sue.
cessive steps in the manufacture are very interes.
ting. One machine-and they are all light in
constrnction-cuts the pen from the steel strip
apother stan ps it with the manufacturer name
another bends it, another splits the point, and
scores of small, buzzing grinGstones, from which
by contact with the pen streams of sparks are
emitted, are grinding the pens at the point and
along the backs to give them the spring which il
necessary. This is considered the most importan,
operation. the one on which the value Of the per
is most dependent. The tempering process comes
next. The pens are placed in small metalli, boz.
es, and submitted to an intense heat in a grea,
oven, a glimpse through whose open door remind
one of the sweat to which Shadrach and his com.
rades were subjected. They come out as mallea.
BILE as putty. Another application of heat revers.
es this state, and makes them too brittle for use.
while a third, applied in a different form, gives
them the temper which the buyer finds them to
possess. The process of vanishing is the only
one to, which they are subjected after being
tempered.
We were shown machines which com 5ined sev.
eral of the operations l have named, but they
have not been found to do the work as we'll, and
hence they are used but little. The wages of the
operators. of course, vary according to skill, age,
and experience. but averaged, We were told, be.
tween eight and twelve ~sbillings (English) pei
week. Not a heavy income, when out of this the
expense of living has TO be deducted.
Mr.. elliott has been engaged in the mauussc.
ture OF pens about twenty years, and the differ.
ence in The price at which be first sold them and
at which they are now afforded is a striking in.
stance of the influence Of skill, experience and
macbinery-and possibly competition also-:p
cheapening the necesssries of life. At first thew
we're sold at & As per gross; now the same guam.
tity is afforded a. 80 pence.

NOVEL TRADES.

Many years ago, VIXEN rice was dear in Eastern
China, efforts were made to bring it from Luzon
where it was abundant. At Manila there was
however. passed a singular law, to the effect tina
no vessel for China should be allowed to load with
rice unless it brought to Manila a certain mum
Der of cages full of the little butcher birds" wei
known to ornithologists. The reason for thi.
most eccentric regulation simply was that the rice
in Luzon suffered much from locusts, and these
~locusts we're destroyed in great numbers BY
butcher birds. In our sublime and superior com
mon sense such a law appears trivial. Yet if We
could caculate the vast amount of money annually
lost to this country by insects, caused BY the wan
ton and wicked destruction of birds, il might no
seem SO very trihing after all. 1t might be even
found to be advantageous to import or raise large
quantities Of insec,ivorous birds.
A somewhat similar business is carried on be.
tween England and New Zealand. This latte,
country, at particular seasons, is invaded BY ar.
mies OF caterpillars, which clear off the grain
crops as completely as if moved down BY q scythe,
With the view Of counteracting this plague a nov.
ell importation has been made. 1t is thus noticed
BY the Southern Cross "Mr. Brodie has Skinned
300 sparrows on board the Swordfsh, carefully
selected from the hedgerows in England. The
food alone, he informs w, put on board for them
cost els. This sparrow question has been a long
standing joke in Aukland, bu. the necessity TO
farmers of small birds to keep down the prubs il
admitted on all sides. There is no security in
New Zealand against the invasion of myriads of
caterpillars, which d~evastate the crops"
The most singular branch Of such traffic is the
toad-trade. On some of the market gardens near
London as many as five crops are made in ono
year, the principal object being. however, to raise
the finest possible specimens for high prices.
Under such a system of culture slugs and other in.
sects are very formidable foes. and to destroy them
toads have been found so useful as to be purebss.
ed at high prices. As much as a dollar and +,
half a dozen is given for full grown lively toads
which are generally imported from France, where
they have also been in use for a long time in an
insecsiVorous wsy.-Phaadephia Bulletin.
