How Watch Cases are Made.

: In buying q silver watch case great caro-
should be taken to secure one that is solid
silver throughout. The cap Of most cheap
silver cases is made of a composition known
as albata, which is very poor substitute
for silver, as it turns black in a short time.
The backs of such cases are made much
thinner than those of an all silver case,
being robbed in order to make the cap
thicker and get in as much as possible of
the cheap metal. Another important point
inasilyer case is the joints or hinges, which
should be made of gold. Those of most
cheap cases are made of silver, which n
not suitable metal for that purpose. In
brief period it twarps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing the backs to become loose
upon the case and admitting the dust and
dirt that accumulate in the pocket. The
Keystone SilverWateh Cases are only made
with silver caps and gold joints.

This (St. Isaac) is an Illustration of
the lact that when Russia really puts
forth an effort she can and does surpass
the modern world in the splendor OF her
architecture; since the treasures of her
quarries are eXhauStlcSs, and the skill
Of her lapidarie9 unexcelled. is. how
ever, unfortunate that there is no EN-
inence in the city ON which st Isaac
could have been placed. for at this dis
lance it is impossible to see to advantage
the magnificent flight of steps leading
to its porticO Yet, | assure you. each
OF these steps is granite, worthy of the
Egyptian temple of karnak. More
over, the stico itself is supported by
stupendous columns of the same ma
terials, sixty feet in hight, and seven in

They are monoliths. Yes, every one
of them one solid mass of beautifully
polished stone With the exception OF
Pompey's pillar in Egypt and the Alex
ander column they are indeed the larg-
est monoiths which the hand OF man
has ever quarried, turned and polished!
Now. ordinarily, a temple is content
with one such portal as this but reflect
chat this magnlfccnce is here repeated
on each of the four sides Of the editiee.
Moreover from the center of the
structure the mighty dome rises to a
height of 296 feet, and is itself surround
ed by thirty monolithic shafts; while
| the Roof, which CLEANS like miniature
sun, is covered with a mass of gold,
worth S250,000. What wonder then

| more than fourteen millions of dollars,
| 81 100000 having been expended in
merely driving into the soil a perfect
forest OF piles to make Il sufficiently
