WONDERFUL GOLD LEAF.
How 1t Is Manufactured and Some Of Its
Pcculiarities.

The 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 three-fourths of an inch in
width and weighing two ounces each.
These ingots are passed between pol
ished steel rollers and fattcned out into
ribbons of about an eight -hundredth Of
an inch i'll thickness. Tho ribbons are
softened by heat and cut into pieces an
inch square.
One hundred and fifty of these pieces
are placed between vellum leaves, one
piece above another, and the entire pile
Is inclosed III a double parchment case
ind beaten with 1G pound hammer
until the inch pieces arc extended to 4
inch squares They arc then taken from
,he case, and each square is cut into
four pieces. Tho pieces thus obtained
are then placed between gold beater's

Still the leaves arc not thin enough,
and once more each leaf is cut into four
pieces and again beaten. This last quar-
tering and beating produces 9, 400 leaves,
and the thickness of each leaf is about
one wo-hundrcd thousardths of an inch.
Gold is so malleable that it is possible
to obtain still greater degree Of thin
ness but not protitably.
These thin leaves arc taken up with
