All sorts Of curious things are sold for
the precious metal they contain - old
watches that are broken beyond repair,
old seal rings and rings that were once
set with cleaning gems. A broken
locket once contained miniature and
probably holds the secret Of a romance.
A brooch is made of the light colored
gold Of over 100 years ago and still holds
lock Of somebody's dark hair. Il was
bought hair and all and will go into the
melting pot with its story untold.
Some OF the gold comes already melted
INTO Jumps, some of it is the gold filing
Of teeth and dentists scraps, and some
Of it is in the form of old plates, with
artificial teeth still sticking to them.
Hood & Reynolds. the assayers ON Ire
mont street, say that old gold ia very
scarce, and they have hard work to col
lect the amount needed in their business.
The old jewelry and scraps are melted
down and refined. then rolled out into
gold foil. The gold foil is bought by
dentists and put into the teeth of their
customers, and in most cases goes back
into the ground with the owner Of the
teeth when he dies. Some day, when
Boston is bowling wilderness, an en-
terprising miner will wash ont the earth

MODERN WAGON MAKING.
Remarkable Changes Recently Wrought in that
Important Industry.

| PIrTsBURG, June 6.-Modern wagon
making, like many other important man
ufacturing movements, begun during the
late war. Prior to that time each part
of the woodwork and every piece of iron
was fitted to its particular place by
hand. One enterprising firm conceived
the idea of duplicating many of the
parts from patterns. which lessened
greatly the cost of production. The in
vention Of ingenious wood and iron
working machines reduced the expense
still further.
| The common farm wagon was first
made the subject of experiment and
change. hardly single part of which
has not been improved. By the old plan
the woodwork was made entirely by
hand. and a blacksmith forged every
piece of iron used. About week was
necessary to make an old style body.
Now the labor of making all the irons
for one is equal to less than one days
| work.
Seventy expensive machines are now
employed in making one of these wagons.
the different parts being made on ma
chimes specially constructed One ma
chine will cut 500 hubs in 10 hours. An
other spaces. bores and mortises them
automatically. A wonderful machine
turns the spokes. first round, then oval
and then fiat. at the rate of 300 an hour
The spoke driver is very interesting
machine. Its action is almost identical
with that of a man swinging sledge
over his head in making the blows, three
of which complete the work The diff
ferent parts are often fixed in place by
machines. The woodwork is smoothed
by sand belts and all except the hubs
immersed in boiling linseed oil. The
least progress in the construction of
wagon has been made in the tires. for
notwithstanding all the machinery
wheels have not yet been made close
enough to uniform size to take duplicate
tires. The relation between the sizes
Of the wheel and tire must be so exact
that it has hitherto been thought impos-
bible to duplicate the parts. Tires are
yet welded and shrunk on for each wheel.
By what is called the "knockdown"
system OF. packing rs many as 30 wagons.
boxes and all. are now put into one car.
The hubs. spokes. rims. hounds and
holsters are usually made of oak, the
axles of hickory and the tongues of ash.
Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin
supply almost all of this timber
Wide tires OF 3 or inches are quite
generally used because of the saving to
the roads. particularly in Ohio.
There is still a demand for special
hand made work, but factory wheels are
of superior workmanship to hand made
The effect Of these changes has greatly
reduced the price. but the workmen en-
ployed get better wages than formerly.
