n1anufacture of swords at solingen.

With view to ascertain some particu-
lars of the manufacture, a representative
of The Ironmonger visited a few days
ago the works of Weyersberg, Kirsch-
baum & Co., where everything pertain
ing to blade and its mounting, except
the making of the steel and the harden
ing and tempering of the blades, is done
under the direct supervision of the firm.
The works are divided into two sections.
At one section, situated at the west end
of the town, the blades are made and
ground, and at the other, situated at the
east end of the town. the mounting and
finishing work is done and the scab-
bards made. In the rolling shops the
steel is drawn out under Ryder ham,
mers, and under these hammers it can
be effectively treated in two heatings.
The firm have two sets of rolls, and each
set is claimed to be capable of turning
out 800 blades per day. After the roll
ing comes the work of hardening and
tempering. This work is done by men
who work for themselves at contract
price in their own shops. A visit to
these little shops shows that clever hard
ener is a man of exceptional skill. The
tempering can only be done in the best
of light, and it is so trying to the eyes
that the workmen can only be occupied
with it few hours per day.
After the hardening and tempering
comes the grinding, all of which is done
by hand. Two kinds of work are carried
on-namely, wet and dry grinding, and
for the former English stones are used,
as the native stone is not sufficiently
hard. When the grinding is completed
the blades are returned to the hardeners
to be reset, as a cavalry sword generally
loses from three to four ounces In grind
ing. The guards are first ground in large
plates and afterward blank ID out in
press, about 1000 per day being pro
duced. Independently of the prodUe
ton of steel, the number of operations
required for the making of a new Brit
ish cavalry sword is as follows; Manu-
facture of blade, 80; scabbard, 80; scab-
bard mouthpiece with sputcheon, 81;
lining for scabbard, II; hand-stop, 16;
riveting, z; scales, 4; drag for scabbard,
8; hoops, 4; guard, 8; leather grip, 2;
mounting the complete sword, 10; leather
buffer, 2; total, 1856.

First spaniards in New Mexico.


1t was to certain survivors of the ILL
fated expedition of Narvaez to Florida.
that the world was indebted for its first
information as to New Mexico. Narvaez,
with a few hundred Spanish followers,
landed at Tampa bay, Florida, in 1923.
His experience with the country and the
natives did not encourage him to make a
protracted stay in that region; indeed, it
became question with him soon how to
escape from it as best he might with
those of his followers who had survived
fighting, hunger, and disease. With in
finite difficulty the Spaniards constructed
rude boats and attempted to coast along
the gulf until they should reach the
Spanish settlements of Mexico. One of
these boats was commanded by Spanish
cavalier of renown, Alvar Nunez Cabeza
de Vaca, who became the first explorer
of New Mexico. His boat was cast ashore
with one other on a low island off the
coast of Louisiana.
OF the Spaniards thus shipwrecked
few only survived the exposure and
hunger which ensued, among them
Vaca, who, with three or four others,
gained the mainland, and, after varied
WAbAA I41O AAAeiAcA OAAOCS, WttAA-
dered into New Mexico, became ac-
quainted with the natives of this terri
tory (who seem to have been of much
superior order to those of the gulf and
Texan region) and finally emerged into
Mexico and reached the town of Gull
acan in 1887, about eight years after his
shipwreck. Vaca lived familiarly with
more than one of the native tribes of
New Mexico, and his account of them
and the climate and productions of the
country leaves no doTibt as to his having
been within the present boundaries of
the territory for several years, and there
are those in the territory now who bear
his name and claim to be his descen-
dants.-Las Vegas Great Southwest.

A Brilliant yellow from Camphor.

A brilliant and permanent yellow
coloring element is now obtained from
camphor. 1t can be used upon linen,
cotton, and silk, with no apparent differ
ence in density and briiliancy, and goods
thus dyed are said to be entirely unaf-
fected by the ordinary tests to which
they must be subjected in use. Boiling
for hours ina strong soap solution barely
turned the shade of a cotton sample.
With indigo handsome green has been
produced. This new dye, it is stated,
may be produced very cheaply and the
processes involved are said TO render it
one of the simplest coloring matters to
make and apply.-Chicago News.

An Appetite for Hot water

1t is said that people who have been
in the habit of drinking hot water as a
medicine for some time, form an appe-
tite for it that is difficult to break. They
want it hotter and hotter and more and
more frequently. Is it possible that
mankind is threatened with another
mania, and that the time is coming when
hospitals must be provided for the cure
of victims to the hot water habit Per-
haps societies will be formed to induce
men to pledge themselves to abstain
from the Incorporate use 0f hot water.

A pure cold brow, like some white tablet

Whereon has not yet fallen line or stain;

Very Rare piece of raee.

One of the finest pieces of lace ever
seen in England is being shown at the
Edinburgh exhibition. 1t consists of a
huge counterpane, more than two yards
square, IN point de Venise, and of ex-
treme beauty and richness of design. It
was made about 100 years ago for the
reigning pope, and it occupied two or
three lifetimes in the working. a few
years ago it found its way back to the
royal lace factory at Venice, whence it
was added to the collection OF Mr. Stuart
Samuel. of London.-Chicae,o Journal.
