The American Screw company OF this
city has an exhibit In machinery hall at
che Worlds fair which illustrates tie
new cold-forging process employed in the
manufacture OF wood screws, drive screws,
Sire bolts. stove bolts, and any other kind
OF circular screw. Two machines are
shown in operation-the thiee-blow
header and the threader, these being the
only machipes needed IN this process.
The wire used by the company is drawn
with unusual accuracy, Co the thousandth
Of an iucn even for larRe-szed screws.
The cold-forged screw wastes no
metal except "A very small quantity
which Is cut of the point of the screw
blank Wire Is used three sizes smaller
than the gauge OF the finishe screw.
The three-b blow healer tapers the shanks,
forms the head, forges the slot in the
lscad, d ,ints the blank and cuts it of.
The banks are then taken TO the
threader. Here they are poured in hop

two dies which shape the threads.

Nothing goes TO waste in the extreme
orient. Everything. no matter how humble,
Is utilized in some way or another. Thus,
for example, says the jewelers. Circular,
nearly every form Of shellfish is used for
food. The shells are not thrown away as
In the western world! Some arc reserved
for the button maker others for the ieweler,
some for the cabinet maker, others for the
glne boiler
An ingenious way OF using shells Is as
buttons, sleeve links and hairpin heads.
For this purpose a small shsJl Is employed
ranging from n quarter inch TO an inch in
diameter. II is cleaned and polished and
half filled with molten solder. Before the
metal cools a wire loop or hairpin is insert
ell In the middle Of the molten mass The
loop becomes the shank Of the button,
which is strong neat and very attractive.
The cost Of the button ranges from 20 20 %
cents dozen. Sometimes the wire loops
are OF silver, when the figures are of course
considerably higher
More ingenious are the she'll cups, saucers
and spoons made from the larger types Of
tropical uniyalve shells In making cups
and saucers the conches are sawed through
In about the same manner as cocoanuts

vertiscd Extensively.

Another stolen bicycle was recovered
yesterday by Mr.. Henry f. Campbell. OF
the firm of Campbell g. CO., on Weybos-
set street. Early.in the norning young
man called at the Office TO negotiate with
Mr.. Campbell for the sale of bicycle
which he had IN his possession. AS
the wheel was of the same
kind as the one stolen from
William Rosenthal, the North Main
July, the suspicious Of Mr.. Campbell
were aroused aud upon Investigation dis
covered tnat the wheel that the young
man wanted to sell was the one ne
wanted TO find and called at the fellows
home ON Aborn street for IL. AS the
Young man told n plausible story about
how he got possession OF the wheel, ana
there seemed TO be no evidences 10
repudiale his story, no arrests were
made. This makes the eighth whesl that
has been recovered by this hrm during
The last four weeks.
Notice OF Organization.
The practice Of stealing wheels has be-
come so common that the Narragansett
,Wheelmen's club has issued the follow
inv:
1t is an acknowledged fact thai during
the past six mouths many bicycles nave
Decu StOlen III tnlS St8Jc. % lnSuIc litci
against such loss OF their wheels, the
Narragansett wheslmen OF Providence
has decided TO organize an association Tor
the protection OF wheelmsn aud wheel
women against such loss, and 10 use every
effort TO prosecute the guilty person or
persons.
Their plan Is to form an association en-
tirely independent of any club or clubs
or any organization Of any kind. Into
the treasury OF this association the mem
hers shall pay some small sums yearly
(amounJ TO be decided upon by associa-
Jion)
In case member has his or her wheel
stolen, il is repor ed at once 10 the proper
officer of the association I'd by hIm re-
throughout New England. An ADVERTISE
ment Is inserted also in cycling papers.
In case the wheel is not found In rea-
sonable length of time, this association
is to pay from It's treasury n certain per
cent OF the value OF tue wheel at the
time 1t was stolen.
For this purpose a mass nesting Is
calle for Saturday evening, Sept. 2, at
the rooms Of the Narragaosett wheelmen, /,
"a Pearl street.
The Committee,
L. I. Campbell. +. w. Crandall and l..
+. Clarke nave been appointed acommit :
tee By that body aud NO pains will be
spared To perfect the organization OF such
au assoc lation, as the need OF IL has been
strongly felt for some lime. There Is n
general senlime it amo aC wheelmen that
such action will materially reduce the
lumber OF wheels stolen.

Although the case Was hung up on
motion to reconsider, growing out OF
misunderstanding rs TO Senator Inorganic
pair with Senator Quay, it is believed BY
senator's that the decision will stand.
This means that Governor Osborne o,
Wyoming will not appoint successor &c
Mr.. Beckwith, and that ex-senator Allen
of Washington. also appointed by the gov
ernor of his state, will not be seated. II
is now known that Allen. II admitted
would have voted for unconditional re
peal. while Mr.. Mantle and the Wyoming
man would have voted against 1t and fol
free coinage. Thus the silverites, accord.
ing to the vote yesterday, lose two recruits
and one vote net.
Vote IL Significant.
The vote was not strictly test of the
comparative strength OF the repeaers and
the silverites, although the silverites-espe.
cially on the Republican side. did all that
they could in the circumstances to get
votes for Mantle But senator's in many
cases divided rather on the legal aspects OF
the case, 80 that the roll call does not indi.
cate how they would vote on the question
OF unconditional repeal. There is nc
longer, however, any doubt on either side
of the senate that the majority for uncon
ditiopal repeal would be larger than Tho
majority against Mr.. Mantle rather than
smaller.
Ranging all the S5 members Of the sen
ate here being a vacancy from Washing
ton I'm Wyoming and from Montana
as they are expected to vote, IL present, or

judges i'm the senate give AZ in the affima
To- q h. fs~,a Il
ers do not wish to give the names of ths
senators whom they expect to vote for thu
Voorhees, bill at present, for obvious rea
sons, but there can be no question that
they have at least 45 votes now and good
the vote is reached.
FREQ Coiners Must Hustle.
There are half dozen southern senator's.
who would rather vote the other way, but
who are willing for the sake OF the admin.
istration to cast their votes for uncondi-
tional repeal IL they are needed. Delay is
the only weapon the silverites have now
in the senate (although they are still
talking of fastening on free coinage
amendment, without seeing how they will
do it), and that cannot be used indef-
initely.
Senator Voorhees, has already notified
them that they will not be allowed to use
the national bank ejaculation bill as an
obstruction, and Democratic senator's who
will vote against repeal have notified the
Republican silverites that they will not
go into filibustering movement with
them.
Tne prospect, therefore, for early action,
perhaps some time next month, in the
senate is good, after the house shall have
passed the Wilson bill by the large ma.
jority now expected, and shall have prac-
tically suspended business until the SEN
ate disposes Of the matter. as the house
now proposes to do.

An improved plated tube or shell and

metal of VARYING thickness has been
patented by Mr.. John s. Palmer of this
city. Five years ago, according TO pat
ont issued to the inventor, the plated wire
stock was made from compound bar.
oomposcd of h,t piece or bar OF base
metal, to which was soldered or ''sweated y
q piece or bar OF precious metal, to which
was given surface Of varying thickness.
such plated stock being afterward cut
into strips. rolled down to the desired
ahickness aud then made into tubing; the
bnse metal being thus convert cd into the
core OF 6ilinR wire.
IN this invention plate of precious
metal Of varying thickness is formed into
= tuba which thus IL tube of unequal
thickness. and afterward Is drawn on TO
n cylindrical rod of baser metal. and
then soldered on the rod; that Is, IL Is
nearly melted with heat sufficient to
make Il adhere to the rod. after which
the compound wire so mads Is drawn
down to any desired shape or size fol
