The following particulars Of the More
who'd process Of thinning plates, now in
use in the United States. may be of in
terest The plates are rolled in the or
binary manner into black sheets, eight
Of these sheets being rolled at one time
and after being sheared to size are put
in the black pickle bath Of sulphuric
acid, where all oxidation is removed
They are then placed in an annealing
furnace for thirty-six hours, after which
they are passed through the cold rolls
receiving a smoothly polished surface
They are annealed again and put int
the white pickle, where they are thor
oughly cleansed from any oxidation
They are then ready for the timing
process
The mode Of putting on the coating Of
tin is very simple The plates are first
submerged IN a bath of palm oil until all
the water disappears, the oil forming q
aux for the tin the first coat of which is
received in the tin pot; the plates are
next dipped in the wash pot, and when
taken ont the tin is spread over the sur.
face with brush by hand. The final
act in the tin coating process consists in
passing the plates through rolls running
in palm oil. whereby the tin is evenly
distributed and smooth surface OBJ
tanned.
There are five Of these rolls used, three
running on top of two, and the plates
make two passes through them, In the
first place being let down through the
first and second of the upper set, and by
a cradle arrangement being returned
through the second and third. This com
pletes the timing operation proper, and
the polish is obtained by rapid move
ments of the plates through bran and

1t is found wild only in a small island
off the east coast of Australia, thousands
of miles distant from the habitant of any
other Iris. While all other Irises may be
grown out of doors, or with a little pro-
lection in winter, this one is happy only
when treated to subtropical conditions.
Its value in horticulture is due as much
to its stature and elegance of foliage as
to the size and beauty Of its numerous
flowers.

are so many of them that the Towering
season extends over a long period.

Death of a Noted Negro Woman.

Over the eastern branch of the Poto-
mac, in Anacosta, better known as Union
town during the war, there was buried
recently a woman whose story did much
to stimulate the ~antislavery sentiment
in the north. She was a revelation of
the possibilities Of patient negro ambi-
ton. Born tifty-six years ago, in Prince
George county, Nd, she was Il little
slave girl Of six when her owner put her
out to service in a Washington family.
At that age she began to hoard money to
buy her freedom. Year after year she
pat by the pennies, for nothing larger
fell to her in tips.
She had collected 800 in coppers when
the attention of some of the public men
of that day was called to her. Hannibal
Hamlin, then in congress but afterward
vice president, became especially inter
ested. He told the story of Emeline
Belt with such pathos that $3.50 was con-
tributed by northern people. Then a
series Of entertainments was given to aid
her, and a few years before the wal the
girl, grown to ~wOmanhOOd, was able to
hand V to her master 800 and receive
