Making Casks by Machinery.

At the California Wine Cooperage and Mill
Company, 80 and Sc Spear Street, San Fran
cisco, they are engaged on contract for sew
enty-fve or eighty large oval wine casks ca
pable of containing 5000 gallons each, for s.
Lachman d Co, Market street These casks
are all made of well seasoned Eastern Oak and
are very heavily hoped. At this cooperage a
large portion of the work usually done by
hand is done by machinery, making a saving
of time and labor, and turning out truer
work. In getting out their slaves the pro-
prietors of these works, NJ. Fulda & Sons, first
dress the slaves into the required thickness.
They are then steamed and bent to the proper
curve or bilge; afterwards being placed on a
saw and listed" or edged up to the bevel
desired They are then jointed to diff
ferent curves for different sized casks.
After being joined they are set up and heated
They are then ended off, conceived and croov-
ed ready for the head. The heading is also
steamed and bent to give extra strength to
large casks.
The holes for The dowel pins in the heads
are bored by machinery. After the different
pieces of the head are driven together in the
bowels, the heads are sawed into the proper
size suitable to the groove or "croze" of the
cask. The heads are then put into the casks,
planned off, and the hoops placed in proper po
siton. All this, except the finishing work. is
done by machinery. In tank building the
"oIh is almost enllrcly uOne Dy machinery,
such as planning, jointing, crozing, saving,
boring heads, eec, leaving nothing to be done
but set the tank up.
AT these works twenty-one men are en-
ployed in a general cooperage and mill bust
ness. In the mill department they do general
jobbing, planning, saving, etc. They are put
ting in more machinery, so as to carry on a
more extensive mill business. The establish
ment occupies two full water-lots. In max
ing redwood water tanks they have apparatus
and conveniences for taking out the color and
taste of the redwood, where only cold liquids
are to be used. Hot liquids will continue to
draw out the color from this wood. They are
about to commence work on very large oak
wine cask, capable of holding $4,000 gallons
1t will be oval thirteen by sixteen, with slaves
twelve feet long. This is for S. Lachman's
cellar on Market street, now the largest on
this coast, if not the largest in the United
States. When the seventy-fve new 5000 gal
Ion casks with the big $1,000 gallon one are
put in with the great number already there
this wine cellar will be one of the sights for
the tourists to nspect.-Pacyfc Rural Press

SHOT By LOT Eight men were drawn
out by lot to be shot down in cold blood !!
This occurred recently in Spain. Fight
ing is going on there, although it does not
disturb the rest of the world very much.
These eight men were prisoners-pris-
oners of war. They had done nothing
nothing wrong-nothing beyond fighting
and imperilling their lives for cause they
believed in
But somebody else had done something
wrong. Eight prisoners of war on the
other side had been brutally slaughtered
after their surrender. Some wretch of an
officer had outraged even the rules of
bloody war, and killed them after they
had laid down their arms.
And so it was ordered that lots should
be drawn-that eight should be taken by
lot from six hundred, and marched out
and shot! Oh, miserable mockery of hu-
manity prayers were offered up for their
souls while their 1.-THE and healthy bodies
were about to be riddled with bullets.
One poor fellow, almost at the last mo-
ment broke away and ran for the river.
A bullet hit him in the back, but he kept
on and leaped in. Then a more success
full shot struck him in the head, and he
sank, mingling his blood with the water,
The other seven writhed and fell in their
tracks. The sad story went home to pa
rents, brothers, sisters and sweethearts;
shot, like bullocks knocked down in
slaughter Sad thing, this being
selected by lot to be shot,

CATCHING CHINAMEN.-In the collec-
ton of poll-taxes from the Chinese in San
Francisco the Assessors deputies have al
ways had agood deal of difficulty in pre-
venting the transfer of receipts from one
Chlnaman to another, whereby a single
receipt is made to do duty several times
over, and the city robbed of much of her
legitimate revenue from this source. For
the purpose of detecting and frustrating
this imposition Assessor Badlam has de-
ylsed system of marking receipts when
they are issued to Cinnamon in such wav
as to indicate theprominent external char
acters OF the mans physique. For in
stance, one designation points to a Mongol
over thirty years of age, short in stature
no scars on head or neck another signi-
hes man "over thirty years of age, tall.
with smallpox marks third IAN old
man, very fat scars on head or neck"
