informed yesterday afternoon that Nor

was asleep on the pilot when the Off
Ger took charge of him,
He had to be lugged to Alderman Mil
lars office. being so drunk that he was
hardly able to walk. He was commit

dertaker had not been called into requi-
sition to gather up his remains.

The process, by which gold is nude
into thin Leaves i Gale goll-bcating
As yet, the use OF machinery for this
purpose is very limited, nearly NIL
gold .lcu being made by hand.
First the goll is cast into oblong
lnsois about three-fourths OF nm inch
IN width, AMI weighing two ounces
each. These iugols nre passed between
polished steel rollers nm I nuttened out
into ribbons of about 1870 of an inch
in Thickness. These ribbons are soft
cuoi Ivy heat and cut into pieces ono
inch square.
One hundred and fifty Of these
pieces are placed between vellum
leaves, one piece above another, md
the entire pile is enclosed In 4 double
parchment case and beaten with six
teen-puund hammer until the inch
pieces ARE extended to four-incb
squares. They ARE then taken from
the case nul each square is cut into
four pieces; the pieces thus obtained
are placed between gold-bcaters' skin
"A delicate m"mbPane prepared from
tho large intestine of the ox-made
into piles, iualosed in parchment
case and again beaten, but with q
hammer IF lighter weight.
Still the lcnvcs are not thin enough
and oucc moro each leaf is cut into
four pieces AMI again beaten. This
last quartering and beating produces
24OO leaves and the thickness of each
leaf is about 1000, O0) Of an inch.
Gold is so malIeable that it is possible
to obtain a still greiter degree of
thinness, but not probably.
These thin leaves are taken up with
wood pincers, placed ON n cushion,
blown ont fiat, and carefully cut into
squares 3 iuchos in size. The squares
arc placed between the Leaves of paper
books, which have previously been
rubbed with red chalk to prevent adj
hesions of the gold, each paper book
containing twenty five squares or
leaves of gold; aud in this form the
lenf is sold, not by weight, but by
superficial measure. ~ Philadelphia

Tic Blood VA, Reinforce.

An interesting surgical operation,
one which is new to Springfield. was
performed about two weeks ago bv
DIR. w. 4. Smith. one of the new
members of the fraternity in this
city. The operation was the Infusion
into an exhausted system of saline
solution TO increase the supply of
blood. Fer years there have been oc.
casionnl operations of TRANSMISSION Of
blood from the veins of one person to
those OF another To meet the same
purpose, but the operation is SO
dangerous that ii Is rarely ATTEMPTED.
except IN cases of the most urgent
necessity The danger comes in the
likelihood of bubbles of air rettiu,
luto the blood which is transfused.
and these bubbles usually mean death.
When they have run their course
through the veins and reach the heart,
the heart needs TO be kept full and
the slight resistance Of the air is in
sufficient To keep the valves working.
1t wns for this reason that the old
method went ont. But out'of 1T grew

If the FREE PRES were asked to state

entirely too damp. He should never

dwell in the water. Tradition informs
us that once there lived i'll this country
a class known us artificial rain-makcrs,

shower, either by exploding things in
the upper regions or burning certain
chemicals either of which was supposed
