Tyne Making.

The preparation of type requires much
delicaey and skill. The first step in rhe
process is the cutting of punch or die, re-
sembling the required letter. The punch is
OF hardened steel, with the figure Of the let
ter cut, the reverse way, upon les point.s On
this die being finished, 4. Is. struck into a
piece Of copper, about an inchand a quarter
long, one-eighth of an inch deep, and of a
width propor.ionate 10 the size of the type
to be cast. This copper, being so impressed
with the representation Of the letter, is
called the matrix. The matrix is now fixed
into small instrument or frame, called the
mould, which is composed of two parts
The external surface is OF wood, the inter-
nal Of steel. AZ the top is shelving orr
flee, into which the metal IL poured. The
space within is OF the size required for the
body Of the letter, and is made exceedingly
true. The melted metal being poured into
this place, sinks down To the bottom into
The matrix, and instantly cooling, the mould
Is made to open with the instantaneous
movement of spring, and the type is.cast
out by the workman. This process Of cast
ing type is executed with great celerity. OF
course, every separate letter in the alphabet,
every figure, point, or mark, must have its
own punch or matrix. Type meial is usu-
ally compound OF lesri and regulus Of att
timony, the latter giving hardness and
sharpnes. Of edge TO tue composition. The
proper proportions of these metals are regu-
lated by the size ofthe type, n greater guam
tity Of autimony being employed for small
than large letters Whatever I've the size of
the types. they are all made OF uniform
height, and must be perfectly true in their
angle. .- --

lightning Phenoincna.

An inquiry is made OF me as follow:
Would You be so kind as to inform me
through the Journal ef Commercs on the
following point: Why is il that we seldom
hear OF death from lightning in cities, while
it is so frequent in the country 2p's
In reply, we answer that We cannot say
but our records of lightning phenomena
rarely mention death by lightning in large
cities We have no record of death by light
ming in a building covered with a metal
root. t.f
In the year 1853 we recorded the deaths
of fifty persons, killed by lightning on the
land, within the field of our research This
is not u large number-we have recorded
one hundred deaths by lightning in single
year in some previous years.
In Greenwood Cemetery, the surface of
which embraces six hundred and fifty I65Ol
acres, the lightning has struck trees and
fences five times since June, l54G.
In the city of Boston the lightning does
strike frequently. In New Haven, Con-
necticut, Baltimore, Nd, and Philadelphia.
Pa. the lightning strikes frequently. .
In nv juvenile days made extensive viii
derness tours, and took particular notice of
trees that had been scathed or riven By
lightning on one ridge | found great num-
bers OF trees scathei hy lightning, and |
named the place thunder and lightning
ridge, aud then snpposed il contained metals
that attracted the lightning. Many years
devoted Ia observation have changed that
opinion The. ridge is a wafer shed, and il
Is no doaht that popularity Oi surface for
which the lightning manifested 10, prefer
rnCe.
A few days since stranger acceSte,i me

their head quarters, has been converted into

sycamore tree under which they held their
councils, was blown down i'm 1896, and has
been removed to make room, for the plough.
