Interesting Process of Manufacture
Transferring the Case Designs.
Jewellers Weekly.
The process of making gold watch
cases is interesting. The 1i.carat cases
which are the most popular, are made
of gold to which an alloy of copper and
silver has been added. A flame Of gas
quickly reduces the metal to u LIQUID.
This is poured into bar moulds of
various sizes, and when it has hardened
the metal is placed under ponderous
rolls and reduced to the desired thick
ness. One of the machines will reduce
u bar of gold into sheet one -thousandth
Of an inch thick.
The sheets are then sent to the turner's
who shape the cases. Jointers then
solder the parts together and add the
receptacles for the springs, which are
inserted by workmen who are known
as springcrs. Ii the case is to contain d
decoration in relief, the design is then
so!dered on, and the case is delivered to
the cngraver.
Engraving cases frequently adds one
third TO their cost. Last of all the cases
are sent to the p9lishcr, and when they
leave his hands they are ready for the
market
The making of watch dials is also in
terosting. Those made by machinery are
rapidly produced. A steel plate is iirst
engraved with the desired figures and
lines.
by means Of wax matriX copy Of
this plate is taken and elcctrotyped. The
pigment is placed on the electro plate
and thin coat Of collodium is placed
over it, being distributed by centrifugal
force.
a sheet Of paper placed on the cjl-
lOdium before it dries adheres, and when
removed withdraws the collodium and
the pigment, thus leaving negative on
the paper.
This paper is then placed on a blank
watch dial, and after being slowly
pressed into position the dial is placed
in a furnace. The heat destroys the
paper and the collodium pcnctrates the
enamel on the dial, producing on it the
design. In this manner the most intri.
cate designs are transferred,

a Colossal Statue oil Penn.

On the invitation of the building com
mission, a party Of members of councils
visited the works Of the Tucony Iron
and Metal Company, Saturday after
noon, to inspect the colossal statue of
William Penn, intended for the top Of
the city hall tower.
The statue Is wonderful work of
art, cast in ~ pieces in bronze so skill
fully joined that the most careful eX-
animation failed to detect the iunctures.
The figure is represented standing in
an easy attitude, the right hand out
stretched, while tile left rests upon an
enormous scroll lying upon the trunk
Of tree. The scroll bears seal Of
Charles II. two feet in diameter, and on
the exposed page has the following in
scription:
Charles H., King Of England and France,
Defender Of the Faith-lu whom these
presents shall come 'Grceting:n
Whereas, oar triIstie and well-beluyed
subject, William Penn, Esq, SOM and
heir Of sir William Penn, deceased, etc.
The letters forming this inscription
are six inches long and u reproduction
Of the English characters used at that
time.
The statue weighs 81, 400 pounds and
has height of 81 feet. Some idea Of
its altitude may be formed from the
statement that an ordinary.sized man
reaches only to the Gulf Of its leg. The
waist is "A feet in circumference and Is
feet nine inches in diameter, the
shoulders % feet in circumference and
10 feet in diameter The face, sur
mounted by hat 23 feet in circulnfer-
ance, is three feet three inches long, the

Of the country. On that day little
oyer nine-tenths of the suns disk will
be hidden from our view. From the
time the eclipse begins until it ends
there is an interval Of almost four hours
and three-quarters.
October's moon phases begin carly on
the morning Of the 9th with the full
moon, followed on the 18th with the
phase known as last quarter. The new
moon does moi come in until the goth,
while the first quartering appears on
the 2Sth.
Our satellite is dark globular body
2,l50 miles in diameter, which shines
solely by reflected light received from
the sun, consequently at the period
termed new moon," when the sun and
moon pass the meridian together at mid
day the moon is invisible to us, as at
such times she occupies a positioni in the
heavens directly between earth and sun,
hence presents to us her unlightcd face,
which is still further hidden by the
dazzling brightness Of that particular
part Of the sky. But when the moon is
at the "full' she passes the meridian at
midnight, or IL hours after the sun,
which latter, being then on the opposite
side of the earth, illumines the whole of
that hemisphere of the moon, which is
next to us.
a day or two after new moon, when
its bright portion is crescent shape, il is
not unusual in clear weather to see the
remainder or obscure part also. At
such times the brightly Illuminated
cusks or horns seem to extend beyond
the darker portion of the disk, and hold
1t in their grasp. This condition is com.
monty alluded to as "the old moon with
the young in its arms, or "the moon ON
its back The phenomenon of the
bright part Of the moon appearing to
cnclralc the remainder is due to All
optical illusion termed irradiation.
As the moon is only supposed to be
rendered visible 10 Us by Inc light
rejected from the side presented to the
sun, il may not unrcas0nahlv be asked
why it is that we sometimes see thl
obscure us well as the brighter portion
This is easily understood, however, by
| rec1llccting that when the moon is one
or two days old the relative positions Of
the earth, the moon, and the sun arc
such as permit the earth to reflect tho
| sunlight back To the moon in sufficient
quantity to taintly illumine that hemis,
| phcrc which is next to ourselves. I'm
fact, we give it carthlight rs it is com
monty called.
