WONDERFUL GOLD LEAF.
How 1t Is Manufactured and Some of Its
Peculiarities.

Pcculiarities.
Tho process by which gold is made
into thin leaves is called gold beating.
AS yet the use of machinery for this
purpose is very limited, nearly all gold
leaf being beaten by hand
First the gold is cast into oblong in
gots about tllree-fourths of an inch in
width and weighing two ounces each.
These ingots arc passed between pol
ished steel rollers and 1attcned cut into
ribbons of about an cight-hundretith Of
an inch i'll thickness. The ribbons arc
softcncd by heat and cut into pieces an
inch square.
One hundred and fifty Of these pieces
are placed between vcllum leaves, one
piece above another, and the entire pile
is Enclosed i'll Il double parchment case
and beaten with Il l6 pound hammer
until the inch pieces are extended to 4
inch squares. They arc then taken from
tho case, and each square is cut into
four pieces. The pieces thus obtained
are then placed between gold beater's
skin-a delicate membrane prepared
from the large intestine of the ox-maGe
into piles, inclosed i'll II parchment case
"ii'i uS.iii bcotcA, EtiG WIFI IL hammer or
lighter weight.
Still the leaves are not thin enough,
and once more each leaf is cut into four
pieces and again beaten. This last quar-
tering and beating produces ., 400 leaves,
and the thickness of each leaf is about
one two-hundred- thousandths of an inch.
Gold is so malleable that it is possible
to obtain q still greater degree Of thin
ness, but not proftably
These thin leaves are taken up with
wood pinchcrs, placed OH cushion,
blown out fiat and carefully cut into
squares 81 inches i'll size. The squares
are placed between the leaves of paper
books, which have previously been rub
bed with red chalk to prevent adhcsions
of the gold, each paper book containing
20 squares or leaves of gold, and in this
form the leaf is sold, not by weight, but
superficial measure.
