How an Axe Is Made.

On entering the main workshop the
first step in the operation which is
seen is the formation of the axe-head
without the blade. The glowing fat
iron bars are withdrawn from the fur
mace and are taken to powerful and
somewhat complicated machine,
which performs upon them four dis
tinct operations, shaping the metal
to form the upper and lower parts OF
the axe, then the eye, and finally
doubling the piece over so that the
whole can be welded together. Next
the iron is put in a powerful natural
gas furnace and heated to white
heat. Taken out it goes under a tilt
hammer and is welded in second.
This done, one blow from the drop"
and the poll of the axe is completed
and firmly welded. Two crews of men
are doing this class Of work, and each
crew can make ] 500 axes per day.
When the axe leaves the drop there
Is some superfuous metal still adher-
ing to the edges and forming what is
technically known as "fin." To
get rid Of the fin the axe is again
heated in furnace and then taken in
hand by sawyer, who trims the ends
and edges. The operator has glass
in front of him to protect his eyes
from the sparks which fly of by hun
dreds as the hot metal Is pressed
against the rapidly revolving saw.
The iron part Of the axe is now COM
plete. The steel for the blade, affer
being heated, is cut by machinery
and shaped. 1t is then ready for the
welding department.. A groove is cut
into the edge Of the iron, the steel OF
the blade inserted, and the whole
firmly welded by machine hammers.
Next comes the operation OF temper
ing. The steel portion of the axe is
heating by being inserted in pots Of
molten lead, the blade only being i'm
mersed. 1t is then cooled by dipping
in water and goes to the hands Of the
inspector. An axe is subject to rigid
tests before IL is pronounced perfect.
The steel must be Of the required
temper, the weight Of all axes of the
same size Iaust be uniform, all must
be ground alike, and in various other
ways conform to an established stand.
The inspector who tests the quality
of steel does 30 by hammering the
blade and striking the edge to ascer-
tain whether IL be too brittle or not.
An axe tkat breaks during the tests
Is thrown aside to be made over.
Before the material of the axe is in
tha nroner shane IL has been heated
five times, including the tempering
process, and the axe, when completed,
has passed through the hands OF
about forty workmen, each Of whom
has done something toward perfecting
it. After passing inspection the axes
go to the grinding department, and
from that to the polishers, who finish
them upon emery wheels. It Philadel'

softened as in childhood. He thought

leagues in order to save her COM
panion from the clutches of the law

shellfish seemed too good for any

roicallv. Violently he drew toward
him the platter on which lay the
trout. After separating large piece
which he put on the plate before
her, he made the charecoal-burner
sit down.
"Eat!" said he imperiously.
He had no need to repeat his COM
mand. She ate rapidly, voraciously.
In another minute the plate was
empty, and Judge Sourdat heroically
filled 1t anew.
The scribe Touchbeuf rubbed his
eyes. He no longer recognized the
Judge. He admired, though not
without sentiment Of regret, the
robust appetite of the charcoal burner,
who devoured the exquisite fish with
out any more ceremony than il it had
been smoked herring, and he MUIR

questioningly before the strange spec
tacle of that little savage seated at the
Judges table.
"Too late, Monsieur lie Cure -
growled the Judge. "There is no
more trout.
At the same time he related the
history of the little charcoal burner.
The cure heaved sigh. He compre-
hended the grandeur of the sacrifice,
but half-mournful, half-smiling, he
tapped upon the shoulder of the
Judge.
