An Incident IL ! Siege.

The Madrid correspondents of The Lon
don Echo, describing TIE ecent lombard
ment ii valenoja, rslates the following
picturesque incident One Of the inci-
dents Of the siege rename most vividly
impressed on my miOd a. 90 exceedingly
cbsracteristis Of Catholic Spain. Il was
one day whom the bombs were falling
thicksst and fastest and the Convent Of
La EnsarDacion was 60 sorely pslted. enc
bomb having entered u the rear, that !
portion Of the nuns. terrified almost out
Of their sense, determined to seek refuge
elsewhere. The larger part Of their NUM-
Der refused to leave their cherished home,
willing to rSn 1hs risks Of bombardmsnt,
but the others obtained escort Of insurgents,
and. weeping and sobbiug, left the vsner-
able pile whence they never thought to 60
out alive. II twas strange and impres-
sive sight, shat mouraful little procession,
as it wended its way along the deserted
streets. under lowering sky athwart
which shot the screaming bombs, while
peals Of distant thunder announced con-
ing storm First came militiaman With
white flag Oh the point of bis bayonst.
and then followed the affrighted nuns,
escorted on beth sides by line Of insur-
gents. whose swarthy limbs bare to the
knees, their only dress the multitudinops
folds of their white muslin trousers, .
acanty jacket, and their turban-like hand
kerchief on their heads, their only accoutre-
ments their Remington, trabuco, 81 fowl

handkerchief slung at their side with am

reassuring to those feeble women. Some
of these unfortunate ladies were novices.

wells, and the others, swarthed in funeral
black from head to the foot, proclaimed
their irrevocable vows. Behind the rest
came the venerable Abbess. who had liv-
ed fifty years in the nunnsry. and who
was so unaocustomed to walking, and 30
heart stricken withal, that she could hard
ly walk tive or three yards without stop

Manufacture Of Shot.

The Baltimore american thus describes
the process of making shot in that city.
One of the "secrets" of the manufacture is
the mixing of the lead with certain pre-
portion of combination Of mineral sub
stances called "tempcr." The 'temper''
is fused with lead, and gives the molten
metal that consistency which makes it
drop. If it were not for the '1tempey"
the lead would not moulden by the sieve.
and would fern little pencils instead of
round shot. When "BB" shot, for in
stance. are to be made, the lead is poured
into a pan perforated with holes corres-
ponding to that size. The little pellets
come pouring down in continuous shower,
and fall into tank filed with water oa
the ground floor In their descent of two
hundred feet they become perfect spheres,
firm and dense. and they are tolerably
cool when they strike the water, although
the swift soncussions make the tank foam
and bubble as if the water was boiling
furiously The shot must fan in water,
for if they would strike any firm substance.
they would be Aattened and knocked out
Of shape To get the little pellets per-
fectly dry after they have been IN tho
i" well is the most difficult and trouble
some process Of the whole manufacture.
An elevator with small buckets Every
much like those used in -four mills) carr
rics the shot up SO fast as they reach tho
bottom Of the % well" and deposits them
in the box 60 feet above the first floor.
The water drips from the buckets as they
60 up, and not much is poured into the
receiver above, although it is intended to
be sort of dripping machine. From this
receiver the shot runs down spout into a
drying pan, which greatly resembles .
gigantic shoe. made of sheet iron. This
pan rests at an angle which permits the
wet shot to roll slowly down to the cham
ber below, and the pellets become perfect
ly dry as they pass over the warm sheet
iron.
