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 ofthe cases-backs, centers, bezels, etc.
are cut and shaped by dies and formers.
The gold 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 written guarantee of the manufacturers
sOaTranting each case to wear tgenty 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. p,rnronr T, nsc "A 1901

We had the privilege last week of
attending the Library Society meeting
and was very much pleased with what
we heard and saw. So many reports
of the doings of this Society have
reached our ears that we we're at a
loss to know what we did expect to
see. What we did see was an orderly,
intelligent gathering, mostly young
people, who entertained themselves
and the lookers-on with readings, mu-
sic, short dialogue and charade. The
small pittance of five cents was taken
from each one, and books will be pur-
chased with the proceeds. We can
see nothing but good resulting from
such gatherings. Those attending
and taking part in the exercises will
find a taste for a better class of liter
ature growing up in them, and by
raising the grade of reading matter,
and elevating the IDEAS of the young
people we are at the same time helping
bring the state of society and govern
ment to higher standard. We hope
if any differences exist, regarding the
Society, among the people of Lunen
burgh they will be buried under a
desire to help their town and it:
