This is accomplished by tho instantan-
o pressure which they undergo in
another steel matrix into which tho
operator places them in their proper
order, and her by q touch Of a lever

This last operation appears to q novice
like u complete piece Of jugglery, but 1t
is, of course, dependent on the ingenious
construction of the minute implements
brought to bear SO forcibly ON the diff
ferent materials. It is certainly q Won
derful and beautiful apparatus, but can

not seen 1t. The description given
is that Of the most common kind
Of Florentine button, but though
the mode of making is materially
the same there are slightly different de-
vices for making conical or flat buttons,
round or elliptic in form; some covered
wish exquisite patterns Of silk or other
expensive material; some designed to
project like flower buds, and some to
droop pendent in the form Of acorns.

Mr.. Lcvick further insists, and

previous process Of softening as regards
the application of high heat, but in this
it is cooled quickly to produce the de-
sired hardness, while in the other it was
cooled slowly.
Each matrix is first treated to a coat
ing of oil and animal charcoal or of
lampblack and linseed oil. Then they
are placed face downward in a crucible
filed with the charcoal and burned.
After the cherry-red heat is attained
they are taken out with a pair of tongs,
plunged in q large vessel of cold water,
moved about rapidly till the spluttering
ceases, and left in the water till quite

cold water is the nervous part of the
business, as the fractures are liable to
occur then and the whole work Of weeks
ruined. Sometimes as many as four or
six dies have to be struck to secure q
minute or delicate pattern. The hard
ened die is now polished by holding it
against a revolving iron disk coated with
powdered emery and oil and tempered
by putting it in water which is gradually

ring Of just the diameter to fit 1t when
the die is cold; consequently, the ring
by contracting as 1t cools binds the SUBJ
stance Of the die with great force and
renders it less liable to crack in the sub
sequent operations. 1t is now ready for
use In molding the shape Of future thou
sands of buttons.
The materials Of which buttons are
made are almost innumerable. As one
manufacturer remarked, ITO make out q
long list Of materials Of which they are
made is an easy matter, but, excluding
the fatty substances, to name one Of
which they r not made would be q
difficult task"
The most common, however, are metal

minum, pearl, composition, glass. and

the upper matrix is brought down upon
it with great force, and when taken out
the pattern is found to be reproduced in
every particular. If the she'll is to have
open spaces, Il kind of tiligree work on
it, this, too, is cut out by the press. The
shell is then taken to the dip-room and
immersed in q solution of nitric and sui
phuric acids to remove all dirt and stain.
After that it is take out and given the
ground color-green, red, blue, or what
ever it is to be-by dipping it into the
proper chemical solutions, and then each

French paints and shellac varnishes. 1t

time the shank, a bit of wire bent to
form an oval, has been inserted by ma
chinery into the aperture in the back or

put the top shell on, which is deity
done by a girl, who places the under
shell with it's shank into a cup-like de-
preston below the die of her press,
places the top shell upon it, and the die,
descending, presses it down upon the
other and fits the edges SO closely over
the other that it will not come off. The
now completed button is ready to be
sewed on the cards with its allotted
number of fellows and placed in boxes
for shipment.
The steel button retains its natural
color, Of course, and is not subjected to
chemicals. In the French ~cut-steel but

mold are cut out the same. Some of the
machines here are busily punching out
the collet or back part and the oriflce in
it through which the cloth within is to
protrude and form the tuft of canvas
that is to be laid hold Of by the needle
