STEEL BARS INSTEAD OF BELLs.-SteeI
bars produce very pure, distinct and
melodious sound, and possess many ad-
vantages over church bells of moderate
size. In Germany they are in some meas.
ure supplanting bells in church steeples,
and an English publication, The Choir, adj
vocates their general use on the ground
that, while in the point of sonorousness
they are equal to the common bell, in GER
tain other respects they are to be preferred
to it. Thus, their weight will be light in
comparison with the ponderous engines
they are to replace. They will not burden
the steeple SO much, and conseq uently will
give more scope for architectural design.
Their winding and hanging up will not be
so difficult, dangerous and expensive.
They are not liable to crack, as is the case
with bells, and are therefore adapted for
use in any climate. They can be operated
by simple mechanical continuance.
The cost of these bars is so low that
three or four of them, forming a peal,
whose weight would not exceed one hun
dred pounds, could be manufactured in
England for fifty or sixty dollars, whereas
three bells of the same power would cost
five times as much. They can be made of
any dimension, weight, or power of sound.
Every note or harmony can be produced
more easily, and the tuning is obtained
more precisely, than in cast bells. OF
course these bars are also adapted for Duse
wherever bells are now employed.

How RUBBER Doors ARE MApE.-The
gum used is imported directly from Africa,

from Central America being the best while
the African gum is the poorest. The raw
gum, which is nearly white, is ground sever
al times between immense fluted iron rollers
after which it passes through the compost.
ton room, which process is secret, but when
it comes out the gum has the black appear
ance of common rubber. The next process is
that of passing the rubber between chilled
iron cylinders, of many tons weight, which
are kept very hot and very smooth. A part
of the rubber intended for uppers," is
here spread upoh and fastened to long
sheets of clio H. The heels and taps are
stamped out of sheets of gum of the re.
quired thickness. The rubber cloth is
now carried to the cutters room, where it
is cut out and sent to the boot makers.
The boots are made by men, the shoes or
ordinary rubbers by girls, while the over
shoes are made by either. One man will
make twelve to fourteen pairs of boots a
day, and receive twenty cents pair. An
active girl will make from twenty five to
thirty pairs of rubbers. After the boot
maker is through they are placed in oven,
where for twelve hours they are subjected
to temperature of 800 degrees. They are
then ready for boxing and shipping. In
one factory about four thousand pairs of
boots, rubbers and overshoes are turned
out daily.
