Shot-M aking.

We fnd in the New York Tribune the fol-
lowing interesting description of the process
of making shot, as it is practised at factory
in that city:
aThe brick tower, situated Immediately in
the rear of the building, and connected with
it. is something less than 200 feet in height
and about so or 10 in circumference. At the
bottom is well of cold water, and the sum-
NIT is entirely devoted to the melting machi-
nery-the pan OF sieve through which the shot
falls being situated in the centre and quite
small, say a foot and a half in diameter. The
lead Is conveyed to the summit in pigs or bars,
and there melted. Before being poured into
the pan IL is slightly mixed with crude arsen-
ic, to prevent equalization. 1t is then dipped
into the pan, and the shower beneath begins /:
for every ladleful that is dipped into the pan
about half ladieiul is dipped back and re-
turned to the kettle over the fire, in order to
prevent that in the pan from hardening which
it otherwise would before entirely passing
through the sieve. As it is, much OF the lead,
in pa sing throu yh the holes ofthe sieve, comes
out in elongated drops, in the same way as
the dripping OF water, thus causing a great
deal OF imperfect shot, which is still further
increased by the soft shot touching each other,
wlen but short way down, and adhering to-
gether. - ,lneT
