How Rows, Marbles are Made.

Almost all the marbles" with which
bows everywhere amuse themselves in
season and out of season, on sidewalks
and in shady spots, are made at Ober-
stem, Germany. There are large agate
ouarries and mills in that neighborhood,
and the refuse is turned to good account
in providing the small stone balls for
experts to "kHuckle" with. The stone
is broken into small cubes, by blows of
a light hammer. These small blocks of
stone are thi by the shovelful into
the hopper of small mill, formed of a
bedstone, having its surface grooved
with concentrate furrows; above this is
the runner" which is of some hard
wood, having a level face on its lower
surface. The upper block is made to
revolve rapidly, water being delivered
upon the grooves of the bedstone where
the marbles are being rounded. II takes
about fifteen minutes to finish half a
bushel of good marbles, ready for the
BOYS knuckles. One mill will turn out
10000 marbles per week. The very
hardest Crackers" as the boys call them,
are made by a slower process, somewhat
analogous. however, to the other.
