Manufacture of Russian sheet Iron

Selected iron is hammered into slabs of the
right size, and to make finished sheet the
sleb is passed through rolls, making seventy
five TO eighty revolutions three or four times,
after which it is hammered again. Several
sheets were then heated to full red heat,
covered with charcoal shaken on to them
from bag made of coarse linen, and are
then piled with covering sheets Of heavier
iron top and bott 1m, Tho pile is then worked
down under a heavy hammer until nearly

ing ceases, the plates are separated, reheated
and piled again with cold plates interposed,

Features of French Electrical Stoves

A peculiar feature in one Of the latest elec-
trical stoves invented in France is that
apertures are formed in plates Of refractory
clay and p.uinhaso, through which the wires
are led; these plates are not enclosed, but are
left exposed. 50 that the air can circulate very
freely through and through the apertures,
where it comes in contact with the hot wires
wire bobbins are inserted in the apertures,
each bobbin forms part Of the electric cir
cult, and all are connected for quantity, these
bobbins being, of course, heated by the pass
age OF the current, and serving to heat the air
as it passes 70 and fro over them.-ChicaGo

The Treasure Handled with One Shovel.
Capt. Harry Z. Rulon, of Phila6elphis,
late of the United States mint, has in his
possession shovel which for seven years WAS
used for no other purpose than transferring
the silver coin of the realm from a drying
pan into boxes. BY constant use Of the inn
plement about an inch and a half was worn
from its blade, thus rendering it useless for
raising precious metals. During the seven
years OF it's use, accoriiilg TO a calculation
made by the chief clerk, Capt. Rulon handled
the almost fabulous sum of sS9s. .o0o. 900 with
that shovel The captain purchased 1t from
