How LEAD PENCILS ARE MADE.-In the
manufacture of lead pencils, the Florida red
cedar is mostly used in this country and in
Europe; some "iben wood, as the Germans
call It, or English yew, is used in Germany;
white pine is occasionally used for a common
grade OF carpenters pencil. The lead of
the pencils is the well known graphite or plum
Dago. The best OF this is The NATURAL found in
pure state in masses large enough TO cut into
strips. OF this there is but one mine now up to
the Standard which is ia Asiatic Siberia, and
pencils made from this graphite are ali one
grade. The Cumberland mines in England were
the first discovered, but are now almost ey-
hausted. What was formerly refuse in cutting
the graphite is now ground, cleaned and re-
fined, and then mixed with a fine clay.
IN mixing the clay and graphite, great care is
taken IN selecting and cleaning the clay and get
ting the proper proportions; the mixture, with
water, after being well kneaded, is placed in A
large receiver and strongly compressed and
forced ont through a small groove at the bottom.

The wood, after being thoroughly seasoned, is
cut into thin strips and dried again then cut
into strips pencil length. These strips are
grooved by machinery, then carried on a belt TO
the gluing room, where the lead is glued in the
groove, and then the other half Of the pencil
glued on. After being dried under pressure they
are sent to the turning room and rounded

little machine, which passes them through
three sets of cutters and drops them
ready for polishing or coloring. The
former is done on athes by boys, and
the latter by machine, which holds the
brush and turns the pencils fed to it through a
hopper. After pencil is polished, it is cut the
exact length by circular saw, and the end is
cut smooth by drop knife, the pencil resting
on an iron bed. The stamping is done by a
hollow die, which is heated; the gold or silver
foil is then laid on the pencil, which rests in an
iron bed, and The die is then pressed on it by a
screw lever. The pencils arc then ready to go to
the packing rooms.-.4mericda Exchange and

perfect and open TO criticism, but it is very pleas.
ant reading The first chapters about the hero
ines childhood are charming, and the heroine
grows up with lovely simplicity of character
and an utter inconsistencies of her own charms
which are perfectly true to nature, although not
seen very often. There is incident enough in
the story, but tho quiet tone of the story teller
controls and subdues even the most dramatic
and thrilling scenes, and effectually prevents
excitement in the reader, We think this is TO its
credit, and we recommend it to those who like
entertainment without excitement - reading
without tears.
The wittiest and most brilliant of the new
books is Mr.. Tyndall's Lectures on Christian
Art and Symbolism. The name does not convey
the least idea of the variety of subjects treated
incidentally; and the style is vigorous, manly
and picturesque, reminding one sometimes of
Mr.. Ruskin and sometimes of Rev. L. Z. Hale
at his best Mr.. Ruskin writes preface to the
book. He is sad about himselfand loving to his
friend, the author, but the preface is the pleas
ATTEST thing we have had for long time from
Mr.. Ruskin.

dull steady roar of the fire and the crowds.

WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 10, 1873

The New York board Of aldermen have passed
an ordinance prohibiting the construction of
mansard roofs within the limits OF that city,
unless they shall be made of Z" tire-proof ma
terials" 1t would be much better for the
city OF Boston II its municipal government
had adopted such an ordinance fifteen or
twenty years ago, and enforced it so rigidly
as TO check the mansard epidemic at the
beginning. The New York ordinance
does not interfere with the innumerable
ire-raps already awaiting coufagration on the
tops of its high buildings; but, if enforced, it
will prevent the addition of more such contriv-
ances for spreading fire. We hope every city in
the land will take effective measures against
them. II they shall be allowed in any case, as
in New York, on condition of being made of
" ire-proof materials" let this condition be in
terpreted to mean actually fre-proof, and nothing
else. If this should practically prohibit them
in any form, so much the better.

Precautions in abundance against the spread
Of fire are suggested just now. Every newspa-
per, either editorially or through contributors,
adds TO the accumulating stock. One very val
liable horse is stolen, it is true, but there are
more yet in the stable, and advice as to locking
the door is by no means untimely. There is a
refreshing unanimity of sentiment on the sub
jeet of Mansard roofs. If they are not hereaf-
ter prescribed by municipal regulations, refus-
al Of architects to build them, of owners to
accept them, or underwriters to insure them,
present appearances are remarkably deceptive,
or the lessons learned in calamity are forgotten
with astonishing facility when the monetary
terror has subsidized Other precautions, simple
and said to be effective, are'the construction of
party walls of greater thickness than is now
common, so built that there shall be nowhere
less than twelve inches of solid brickwork be.
tween contiguous premises, the raising of these
party walls some distance higher than the roof,
the substitution of brick arches and tiled
floors for timbers and planking and so forth.
One has plan for laying out the burned dis
trict with wider and straighter streets by au-
thorizng commissioners to take possession of
The whole tract at fair valuation, paying for
it in scrip and, having laid out the whole in &C.
cordance with an intelligent and comprehensive
plan, offer the new lots for sale, taking the scrip
in payment. This, he thinks, could be done
without violating any constitutional provision,
and the price of the new lots would more than
repay the first cost and all the attendant ex-
penses. All of these suggestions do not come
from Boston, but the best Of them do; and
some OF the brightest and soundest minds in
that city are now occupied with the problems
which the fire has proposed and whose import
ance is now realized there as never before. The
people of other cities may have the advantage
Of their lesson without paying so dearly for it,

The calamity of Boston has for the time dis
tracted all eyes and all thoughts from other
topics. So far as it distracts attention from pol
tiles the effect is not to be regretted, for that
subject had absorbed disproportionate share
of time and thought. 1t will do no harm to re-
vert to it now, however, for a word, final let us
hope as to the result of the presidential election

factory returns have been received from all the
states. They are not yet entirely conclusive,
but they seem to show that six states have given
majorities for Greeley: Maryland, Georgia,
Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri and Texas,
These six states have sixty-fye electoral votes !;
the remaining thirty states, with three hundred
and two electoral votes, gave majort ties for
Graut, who has therefore majority of two
hundred and thrty-seven in the electoral colleges.
The popular majority it is not yet possible to
state with precision, but it will probably not be
far from 100000.
