annealing is repeated. After the last
annealing the strips are run through
cutters, which divide them into drafts
of the proper thickness for the coins;
and these in their turn are run through
"a steam punching machine, which cuts
planchets the proper size for the coin.
From $50 to 240 are cut in a minute.
AS the metal gets greasy during this
process, the planchets are then dipped
into bath of diluted sulphuric acid,
which is too weak to act upon the sur
face but effectively removes all foreign
matter. The planchets are then adjust
ed, that is to say, they are carefully
weighed, and all that are lacking in
weight are cast aside; such pieces are
called ''lights," and the "heavies" are
the pieces which weigh too much and
are filed off. The adjusting is done by
women. 1t is process which requires
much delicacy, and scales are used
which are sensitive to one-sixty- fourth
of grain. After the adjusting is fin
ished the next operation is the milling,
which is done with curious soft of
machine. The edges of the coin are
thrown up and grOved by this process.
After another cleaning with sulphuric
acid the coins are ready for the die.
The stamping is done on screw press,
and both sides of the coin are stamped
at the same time. The dies are cylin-
drical blocks of steel upon the ends of
which are carved the designs to be
transferred by pressure to the coins.

A STATE ON FIRE.-Sunday, March
"a, 1873, will long he remembered in
South Carolina for the wide spread con-
| f1agratiOns which envelOped the forests
and many of the farms in all portions of
the state. There had been long
drought, the withered leaves of winter
still chung to many of the trees; woods,
fences, and bridges were like so much
finder ready to be kindled by spark
the March winds blew steadily and
fiercely and the bush fires incident to
clearing new grounds, and the repre-
hensible custom of setting fire to the
woods and old fields in order to clear
the way for fresh grass for cattle, fur
nished the sparks; and, in consequence,
from every county of the state, came
accounts of forests swept by the flames,
valuable fencing destroyed, and resi-
dences and barns, with corn, fodder,
cotton and other valuable farm produce,
falling prey to the devOuring element. |
This is a sad disaster to many poor farm
ers. In addition to the immediate dis
tress caused by the loss of food and
shelter, the consequential damage from
the interruption of work at this par
ticular season is serious. Fences and |
houses must be rebuilt, planting greatly |
retarded, and debt incurred to replace
provisions. The Legislature, which has
just adjourned, did great deal that
was intended to be for the benefit of
the farmers. They passed nO-fence
law, repealed one lien law and passed |
another, and also enacted statute to
protect the property of planters in the
hands of their factors. The next Leg
islature will have. an opportunity of
rivaling their predecessors in this good
work by framing law to prevent for
est fires.-Charleston Is. CO. Ne,Vs and
Courier.
