WASTE Of precious metal is overcome, and the

from onc-tlird to onc-half OF The usual cost
of solid cases. This process is OF the most
simple nature. as follows !: a plate of nickle
composition metal, especially adapted to the
purpose. has two plates of SOLID GOLD colder
ed one on each side The three are then
passed between polished steel rollers, and
the result is a strip Of heavy plated compost
ton. from which the oases. hacka centres,
bezels, &c. are bent and shaped by suitable
dies end formers. The gold in these cascs is
sufficiently thick to admit Of all kinds of
chasing, engraving and onamelling the en-
