TIN PLATE.

The production of tin plate and of arti-
cles made from it is a very important de-
partment of hardware manufacture. 1t is
divisible into two parts-the formation of
the tin plate from iron and tin, and the
working up of this material into vessels.
The iron for this purpose is, after being
puddled, passed through the rolling mills
till it is compressed into a sheet of several
feet in length While still red hot, it is
dexterously doubled or folded over, like
sheet of paper-again and passed into
the furnace, and again under the roller
and SO on, by successive repetitions of the
process, until the original sheet has been
eight times folded and rolled. 1t is then
cut into squares or blocks by steam shears;
and when sufficiently cooled, the blocks
which are about a third of an inch in thick
ness, are bent at the corners, and then rap
idly split or separated into the eight thinner
sheets of which they are composed. The
next operation is that of picking the plates
in vitriol diluted with hot water, to take
eno HS'iOV anu Wnibcu Unein. Dub even
after this has been done, the iron sheets are
far from being ready to receive the thin
coating of the more precious metal which
gives them their name and usefulness.
After being rubbed slightly with sand
and then dipped in cold water to remove
all traces of vitriol, the plates are placed in
furnace for eight or nine hours to be an
nealed; but as the annealing dulls the
brightness which the vitriol gave them,
they suffer the process of cold rolling, to
give them, once more, the necessary polish.
1t is then softened by annealing, and the
plate is ready to receive its coating of tin.
1t Is first placed in what is called pick
LEA dilute solution of sulphuric acid

SCIENTIFIC READING.
The Poison Valley.

VNHE traveller Loudon gives the follow
Il ing interesting account of the famous
poisonous valley in the island of Java
" We took with us some dogs and fowls to
try experiments in this poisonous hollow
When within few yards of the
valley we experienced a strong nauseous
smell, but in coming close to its edge this
disagreeable odor left us. The valley ap-
peared to be about half mile i'm circum-
ference, oval, and the depth from thirty to
thirty-flve feet ; the bottom quite flat /; no
vegetation and the whole covered with
the skeletons of human beings, tigers, pigs,
deer, peacocks and all sorts of birds. y y
We now fastened dog to the end of a
bamboo, eighteen feet long, and sent him
in-we had our watches in our hands, and
in fourteen seconds he fell on his back did
not move his limbs or look around but con-
tinued to breathe ten minutes. We then
sent in another, or rather he got loose and
walked into where the other dog was lying.
He then stood quite still, and in ten minutes
fell ON his face and never afterward moved
his limbs. He continued to breathe seven
minutes. We now tried fowl which died
in minute and half. We threw in an
other, which died before reaching the
ground. On the opposite side of
the valley, near large stone, was the skel-
eton Of a human being, who must have
perished on his back, with his right hand
under bis head. From being exposed to
the weather, the bones were bleached as
white as ivory. was anxious to procure
this skeleton, but any attempt to get it
would have been Madness"
The old legend in regard this valley was
that poisonous tree grew here named the
Upas, and if any one approached it, the re-
suit was sure death. Subsequent investi-
CATION, however, proved the incorrectness
of the legend in regard to the tree, but not,
as it seems, in regard to the deadliness of
of the place. Nor was this latter exagger-
ated I; but it's cause, examination proved to
be merely the overlooking of the air with
carbonic acid gas. The origin of the gas
has not been SO clearly ascertained, but has
been supposed to be from some vent in the
earth supplying the gas faster than it can
be dissipated in the air, though the traveller
just quoted says, "we could not perceive
any vapor, or any opening in the ground"
Nevertheless this gas is known to be an
abundant product of volcanic action, and
from some such interior source it may be
conveyed to this spot faster than it is con-
veyed away.

THE WATCH.

The watch was originally, we find,
comparatively huge and "bungling' thing,
and was moved by weights-in short, it was
only "little clock" ''pocket edition.
thereof as it were. Its case was at first
made of iron, and on account of the weights
it had to be borne about in suspended
position, as by cord about the neck, hang
ing down on the breast. 1t was only lit
tie over three centuries ago, about the
year 1866, that the spring was devised,
doing away with weights, and rendering
the instrument more readily and safely
portable. These springs were then only
straight pieces of steel, not coied as now,
and occupying more space. The watch of
those days had but one index or hand, and
required to be wound often, two OF three
times day. The faces or dials were of
metal, brass usually, and the cases were
without crystals, but opened in front and at
the back, not unlike the "hunting-watch''
case of to-day. The case was from five to
six inches in diameter-a fashion which
modern indisposition to shear about large
weights" would hardly tolerate AS may
be readily conjectured, the watch in those
times was very costly affair, worth more
than many New England farm now is,
and requiring a long time in its construc-
ton. 1t is computed that the average val
ue of the watches of those days was equiva-
lent to fifteen hundred dollars of our cur
rency.

Who SOaped That HOrnl

III VIE story runs that when certain re-
Il vivalist celebrity took up the horn, to
summon the worshipers to service after
dinner one day, he blew strong blast OF
soap all over the astonished brethren. II
is also said by the chronicler of this ''item,"
that he cried out aloud:
Brethren, have passed through many
tribulations and trials, but nothing like
this. have served the ministry for thirty
years, and in that time never uttered pro-
fame word, but I'll be---if can't whip
the man that soaped that horn ~
Well this is a strong story; but we have
from reliable authority, something a little
stronger in the sequel to the same incident
This is given as follow:
Some two days after the horn soaping q
tall, swarthy, villianous-looking desperate
strolled ON the ground and leaned against
tree, listened to the eloquent exhortation to
repent which was made by the preacher.
After while he became interested, finally
affected, and commenced groaning in the
Every bitterness of his sorrow. The cler-
gyman walked down and endeavored to
console him. No consolation he was too
great sinner he said. Oh, no--there was
pardon for the vilest. No, he was too
wicked--there was no hope for him.
"Why, what crime have you committeds
said the preacher, "have you stolen2'
"Oh worse than that !"
"What have you by violence robbed
female innocence of its virtue ?"
"Worse than that-oh, worse than thatp'
"Murder is it ? gasped the now Mortified
preacher.
"Worse than thatv' groaned the smit-
ten sinner.
The excited preacher commenced "peel-
ing off, his outer garments.
Here, brother Cole ~ he shouted, hold
my coat. I've found the fellow that soaped
that horn"

On and after the tenth day of April
1872, The Home Reserve force of Insur-

mia Central Insurance Company" will leave
Pottsville in heavy force, and occupy ten
different counties of the State, where they
will continue to act as the Company's
Agents until full line of Local Agents
can be appointed, when they will be recalled

boiling oil, where it is allowed to remain
fora quarter Of an honr. Close by this
cauldron is another, partly filed with melt
ed tin, on the surface of which layer of
oil floats. The iron plate is dipped into
the fluid metal, and left there for ten or
twelve minutes, at the end OF which time
it adheres, and it is drawn out covered with
brilliant coating of the tin. The surface
of the plate is then brushed, so as tore
