features are very small and regular. Her
hair she dresses high, the front being

The Manufacture of Lead Pipes.

At the meeting Of the Iron and Ssesl
institute at Chester, England, a dsscrip-
ton was given of the manufacture of
drawn-lead pipe, as conducted at lead
works in that city. The press for max
ing solid drawn lead pipe consists first
ly Of hydraulic ram and cylinder, says
the Builder, the former pressing upward
in vertical line. On the upper part
there is cylindrical vessel into which
moulten lead is poured. aad die of the
same diameter as the pipe to be drawn
is then firmly wsdged into the upper
part Of this cylinder. An iron core of
smaller diameter than tho hole in the
die is placed cOncentrieally to the latter.
and an annular space is thus obtained
through which the lead is forced by
means of the head of ram which fits
the bottom of the cylinder containing
the lead. 1t will be manifested that Il Q
outer diameter of the pipe is regulated
by the diameter of the die, while the
thickness of metal is dependent on the
size of the core. In order that the lead
which comes in contact with the walls
of the cylinder may not be chillsd when
it is first poured in. small fires are made
in receptacles provided for the purpose,
or, in the case Of larger presses, the cyl
Under is bodily heated by being placed
in gas-heated chamber. Considerable
judgment is required on the part of the
operator in determining when the lead
is at the right temperature for the pur-
pose. Should it be too soft it will draw
out in shapsless mass, while If allowed
to set too hard 1t will not work at all. A
pressure of about 1900 pounds is obtain
cd in the hydraulic cylinder for the
smaller presses, while those used for
producing heavier pipe work up to 5000
pounds to the square inch. Pure tin
pipes are made in the same way, while
tiRned pipe of lead is produced by pour
ing small quantity Of moultsn tin in
to hollow formed on the upper part of
the die, and also by pouring small
quantity into the first few inches of pipe
made as it energies upward frem the die.
This tin remains moulten for cOnsid-
cradle time, and deposits thin layer on
both the outside and inside of the leaden
pipe as it is formed. Solid round lead
is formed in the same way as the leadsn
pips.the only alteration in the process
being the omission Of the core. Lengths
of lead of any required section, such az
calm lead for glazing, can be drawn in
these presses, dies of various descriptions
being provided for the purpose.

GRAND HAVEN, April 2.-The propeller
Wisconsin, with Capt. McGrsgOr and a
crew Of thirty-twO men, arrived safely

Capt. MeGregor jettis0nsd q small pOr-
ton OF the cargo and thus saved the YES

again closed in on the Imprisoned boat

The experienced captain, however was
equal to the emergency aud securely
braced the sides of the boat in the
freight holds with the tenders, and by
his skillful management again saved
the steamer from going to the bottom,
A DETERMINED COMMANDER.
Capt. McGreg0r was determined to
bring his vessel into harbOr, and by his
good judgement and thorough knOwl-
edge of true ssamanship he succeeded
although had his efforts in saving the
vessel been unsuccessful he had all ar
rangsments made for safe retreat I'd

walked the distance over the rough ice,
which is now in FAR more dangerous
condition then ever before. Yesterday
morning the steamer found open water
off Black Lake and after several hours
hard fighting in the ice she entered the
channel and came to this harbor. The
ice in the river offered NO resistance
and she came to her dock with the ap-
psaranes of having passed a season in
searching for the north pole. The Wis
consin will be placed in dry dock and
