HOW TyIEy pRop suor.


A reporter Of the Baltimore Ameri-
can thus describes one Of the many
processes of making shot in one of The
shot towers Of that city; One of the
secrets" Of the manufacture is the
mixing Of the lead with certain pro.
portion Of a combination Of mineral
Substances called temper" The tenn.
per is fused with the lead, and gives
the molten metal that consistency
which makes it drop, aud without
which the lead would be moulded by
the seive, aud would form little pencils
instead of round shot. When "BB"
shot, for instance, are to be made, the
lead is poured into pan perforated
with holes corresponding TO that size.
The little pellets come pouring down
in continuous shower, aud fail into a
tank filled with water on 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 conclusions make the tank
foam and bubble as if the water was
boiling fnriously. The shot must fall
in the water, for if they would strike
any firm substance they would be fat
tened and knocked out Of shape. TO
get the little pellets perfectly dry after
they have been in the "well," is the
most difficult and troublesome process
of the whole manufacture. An eleva-
tor with small buckets (very much
like those used in -four mills) carries
the shot up as fast as they reach the
bottom of the we'll, andsdaposits them
in box go feet above the first floor.
The water drips from he buckets as
they go up. and not much is poured
into the receiver above, alsi'Dhgh it is
intended to be sort of dripping ma.
chine. From this receiver the shot
runs down a spout into a drying pan,
which greatly resembles a gigantic
shoes made, of sheet iron. The pan
rests att an angle which permits the
wet shot to roll slowly down to the
chamber below, and the pellets become
perfectly dry as they pass over the
warm sheet-iron.

A New York Medical Journal says:
One of the most generally diffused err
ron. Jus notions is that it is good. and
beneficial to break blister. whether
il is caused by burn or the heating
of part of the body by continued
friction under pressure, to which the
feet especially are exposed after long
walksin lily fitting shoes or boots.
Such blisters are always found 6lled
with clear liquid. which must be re-
tanned and not drawn off by lancing
them, and also those blisters often
caused by part of the skin being
forcibly pinched or squeezed, and
which contains blood, must be left
alone This water or blood in blisters
is a healing substance, of a kind most
appropriate for the parts where the
skin is destroyed, and it the blister is
allowed to dry out by itself the new
skin forms much more rapidly under
it, and much pain is avoided. If the
blister contains blood, it must be treat
ed in the same way, as blood is the
best healing salve. And, by the way
while using the word healing salve,
it may be we'll to state that there are
no healing salves OF healing plasters.
All salves and plasters retard healing,
and many wounds which heal Dotwith-
standing the salves and plasters ap.
piled, would heal IN half the time if
left alone.
II is only in exceptional cases that
a blister may be pnnctured, namely,
when very full Of huid SOFAS to cause
mnch pain by its tension, d prick of a
fine needle may be gisen SO as to allow
the excess of fluid a chance to escape.
Instead of breaking blister and des-
troying the loose skin over it, itshould
be protected SO as to gnard against
any such destruction by accident.
