GOLD BEATING.
The Manner of Preparing the Delicate
Sheets of the Precious Metal.

SHeets OF the PRECIOUS metal.
Il was in the workshop of a gold
beater in New York few days ago for
the first time in my life, said a Chicago
man recently. Probably less is known
of that interesting trade than any other
extant. One reason is that there are
SO few engaged in it by comparison
with other industries. The gold is
melted and run into small inget.
making an oblong plate of absolutely
pure gold. This is cut up into pieces
about an inch sqnare, several hundred
are placed benz leaves of gold beat
ers' skin, the whole inclosed in parch-
ment cover. Then it is beaten for sew
eral hours. The leaves of gold spread
under the beating. and they are each
cut into four pieces. The beating
process is continued, the pieces are
again divided, and the process repeated
until the gold is SO thin that the
slightest breath will blow it away.
Then it is ready for the sign painter
glider, book binder, etc. am told
that this is one trade in which modern
invention has made no improvement.
Attempts to beat gold by machinery
have utterly failed. because, the stroke
must not be uniform, but regulated by
the striker according to the conditions.
a false stroke of the hammer is suffi-
cient to undo the work done at any
stage and necessitate fresh start, be-
ginning with the melting pot. Only
one substance has ever been discovered
which will serve to beat gold in. II is OBJ
tanned from the intestines of cattle and
subjected to a secret process. | am told
that gold is beaten now as it was when
Solomon's temple was decorated with
gold leaf. Sometimes crueible of gold
breaks, or is upset in the furnace The
cinderS and ashes are carefully gath
cred. beaten fine in a mortar and then
washed by hand. Practically all the
gold will be recovered in this way.
FLYING PARTICLES of gold leaf. as fine as
dust settle all over the shop. The sweep
ings of the shop are saved. burned and
the ashes washed, and yield quite sum
in gold annually.-St Louis Republic.
