How Watch Cases are Made.

A plate of SOLID GOLD IA 2-10 karats
fine is soldered on each side of a plate of
hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this plate the various
parts oithe cases-backs, centers, bezels, etc.
are cut anI shaped by dies and formers.
The go!i is thick enough to admit of all
kinds Of chasing, engraving, and engine
turning. The composition metal gives it
needed strength, stiffness and sotidity, while
the wriiten guarantee of the manufacturers
UorrGntiag each case to wear ttrenty years
proves that it contains all the gold that
can possibly be needed. This guarantee
is given from actual results, as many of
these cases have been worn perfectly smooth
by years of use without wearing through
the gold. DUBUQUE, L., Dec. H. 1885,

Gases for seventeen years. bought it secondhand

Amending the Constitution.

Not fewer than thirty amendments
to the constitution have been proposed
during the present session of Con-
gress, and though several are lmpor-
tant and desirable, it may De safely as
sumed that not one OF them will make
any substantial progress to ward adopt.
ton. There is no question that our
fundamental law is in need of revision
In some particulars, but any attempt
to revise it seems well nigh hopeless.
OF the fifteen amendments already
made only three have been adopted
since 1904, and these were virtually
carried through by force after the close
of the war.
