Industrial Secrets

\ century ago, what man discovered
in the arts he concealed. Morkmen we're
put upon oath never to reveal the process
used by their employers. Doors were
kept closed artizans going out were search
ed, visitors were vigorously excluded from
admission, and false operations blinded
the workmen themselves The mysteries
of every craft were hedged in by thick set
fences Of empirical pretentions and Judi
cial affirmation. The royal manufactures
Of porcelain, for example, we're carried on
III Europe with spirit of jealous txclu-
slveness. His Majesty Of SaXony was es-
peciaily circumspect. Not content with
the oath Of secresy imposed upon his work
people. he would not abate his kingly sus
picion in favor Of brother monarch.
Neither king nor kings delegate might
enter the taDood walls Of Meissen What
is enormously called the Dresden porce-
lain that exquisite pottery Of which the
world has never seen the like-was pro
duced for 200 years by a process so secret
that neither the bribery of princes nor the
garrulity Of the operatives ever revealed
it. Other discoveries have been less sue
cessfully guarded, fortunately for the
world. The manufacture of tinware in
England originated i'll stolen secret.
Few readers need to be informed that til
ware is simply thin iron plated with tin by
being dipped into the Iaolten metal. In
theory it is an easy matter to clean the
surface Of iron, dip it into a bath ot the
boiling tin and remove it enveloped with
the silvery metal to place for cooling
In practice, however, the process is one Of
the most difficult i'll the arts. II was dis
covered in Holland, and guarded from
publicity with the utmost vigilance for
nearly half u century. England tried in
vain to discover the secret, until James
Sherman, a Cornish miner crossed the
Channel, insinuated himself master of the
secret, and brought it home. The secret
Of manufacturing cast steel was also steal
thily obtained, and is nov within the
reach of all artizans.
