How cOlored Buttons Are Made.


The various processes that are employed
in the production of the numerous
colOred articles, such as buttons, clasps
and buckles, so often used, are the re-
suit of much thought and experiment.
Each color requires an entirely different
method for its production. and most of
them depend on the use of chemicals.
Thus rainbow colors are produced on
brass buttons by stringing them on a
copper wire and then dipping them in
bath of boiled lithargc and caustic soda.
While the buttons are in the solution
they are touched one by one with plati-
mum wire connected with the positive
pole of battery of medium strength
until the desired color appears, a more
brilliant hue being obtained BY heating
the buttons after they have been dried.
The colored films on buttons are gen
orally produced either by immersing the
bright brass buttons in different chemi-
cal solutions or by painting them with
various compounds. The yellow and
green colors are obtained by the many
salts Of copper, the purple by anthony,
and the golden red with mosaic gold
and calc. Cheaper products are made
by painting the articles with rapidly
drying alcohol varnish, colored with the
various anilinc dyes, but, while the de-
sired shades are obtained, with beauti-
full metallic lustre, the colors are not
lasting. Il New York journal.

Marvellous Screws.

1t is asserted that the smallest screws
IN the world are those used in the pro-
duction of watches. Thus, the fourth
jewel wheel screw is the next thing to
being invisible, and to the naked eve it
looks like dust with a glass, however,
1t is seen to be small screw, with 260
threads to the inch, and, with very fine
glass, the threads may be seen clearly.
These screws are 4-1000ths of an inch
In diameter, and the heads are double.
1t IS estimated that an ordinary ladv's
thimble would hold 100, geo Of these
screws.
No attempt is ever made to count
them, the method pursued in determin-
ing the number being to place 100 Of
them on very delicate balance. and
the number of the whole amount is de-
termined by the weight of these.
After being cut the screws are hard
ened and put in frames, about one hum
bred to the frame, heads up, this being
done very rapidly by the sense of touch
instead of by sight, and the heads are then

PIGEON NOTES.

Keep their quarters clean.
Keep the pigeons away from the
house.
50 far as possible keep only even pairs.
Pigeons mate in February for the sea
son.
When there are odd ones they are al
ways quarreling.
Peas make a good feed for pigeons at
any time.
Arrange the quarters so that if ncces-
sary they can be confined.
The eggs will hatch in from sixteen to
eighteen days.
A pair will be Matched in almost every
month, except February.
II they must be confined wire netting
makes the best fencing.
As with poultry, beginners should
commence on a small scale.
Nuns are among the Oldest Of the toy
pigeons, yet they are difficult to breed
true.
There should always be good supply
Of fresh water in the loft and the vessels
be kept clean.
The nesting places should be large
enough to allow the birds plenty of room
to turn around.
Wing turbits are handsome to look !
upon when perched on the roof of a
house or barn.
Tumblers are always entertaining;
they show bright, active way that rare
ly fails to attract attention.
The Homing pigeon will live to be
fifteen years old if given good care and
quarters.
The sex of pigeons is hard to deter
mine without experience. The male is
generally holder in appearance and car
rage, while his 5000" is louder and
longer than that of the female.
Squads are ready to market at from
four to six weeks. When convenient to
market raising them is considered very
profitable business.
Among the short-faced varieties es-
pecially, many of the pigeons would die
n the shell if not assisted out, their
Oeaks are too short to pierce the shells.
Blood feathers can be remedied by
mixing flour of sulphur with butter, to
make it adhere together. and give pill
he size Of pea until they mott.
1t is best not to attempt to keep large
numbers together. They will thrive
better and keep healthier if divided up
nto small focks.
1t is a good plan to have a loft where
hey can take exercise by flying about
Turing the winter, rather than to allow

Brine for Preserving Eggs.


The large dealers in eggs are said TO

IN the following proportions: One bushel
Of lime, eight quarts Of salt, and twenty
five ten-quart pals Of water. The lime
must be Of the finest quality and free
from sand and other foreign matter.
Slack the lime with a portion Of the

so by stirring up some OF the very light
lime particles that settled last and con-
time doing this as each lot Of eggs is
added. The object of this is to have the
fine lime drawn into the pores of the

Care should be taken not to get too much

settle and stick to the shells of the eggs
and make them difficult to clean when
