Modern Machines Which Will Turn Out
5000 Per Hour

There is scarcely II woman living who
does not use the common and everyday
pin every day more or less, but few, how
ever, ever think how it is made, remarks
the "Dry Goods Economist To COM
plete pin it has to go through many
hands before it is ready for the consumer.
1t is very delicate article to handle,
and the cost of building the machines to
make it is the greatest outlay. The wire
from which these pins are manuiac tured
is specially prepared and comes to the
factory on large reels very much like
gigantic cotton spools.
The wire is first turned through eight
or ten little copper rollers. This is to get
all the bend anu kink out of it; in other
words, to straighten it perfectly. After
this preliminary operation is completed
it is once more wound on very large
reel which is attached to the machine
which makes the pins One of these ma
chimes makes on an average 5000 pins an
hour, and some large factories will often
have thirty or forty machines ut work Mt
one time. After the pins ale released
from the grip of this machine they are
given bath of sulphuric acid This re-
moves all the grease and dirt from them,
They are then placed in u barrel or tub of
sawdust. Pins and sawdust are next
taken together from the barrel and al
lowed to fall in Il steady stream through
strong air blast, which separates the
sawdust from the pins. But rs yet they
are pointless, and without points would
not be of much use. In order to point
them they are carried on an endless
groovcd belt, which passes a set of rap
idly moving files. This points them
roughly, and after being passed between
two grinding wheels and forced against a
rapidly moving band faced with emery
cloth they are dipped in Il polishing tn b
of oil. This latter is II large, slowly re-
volving cope r-lined tub, which is tilted
ut an.angle OF about As degrees. As this
rcvolves the points keep sliding down the
smooth copper to the lower side and'owi
to the constant friction against the copper
and each other receive n brilliant polish
and finish.
They go next to the stickcr, where they
fall from hopper on an inclined plane,
in which are II number of Sits. The pins
catch i'll these Sits, and hanging by their
heads, slide down into an apparatus
which inserts them in the paper. This
machine is perhaps the most ingenious
of all the beautiful and complicated con.
trivances that help to make and manipu
late the pin. II does all this ut the rate
ofslO0,000 pins an hour, and yet IL single
bent or damaged pin will cause it to stop
feeding until the attendant removes the
offender. The pins are then stuck into
the paper Ey the machine, which is usu-
ally operated by II skilled girl, and then
they are ready for shipment to all parts
of the civilized world, where the common
but necessary, pin is Il factor.

FARRAGuT AT THE BospHoRUs.
No Sultan Could Stop Him From Going
to Constantinople.


The refusal of the sultan to allow the
bancroft TO sail up to Constantinople is
not an unprecedented occurrence and it
is strange that Minister Terrell did not
remind the Turkish government of n
former experience it had with an Ameri-
can shlp'of-war, says the San Francisco
Chronicle.
In october, 1865, Admiral Farragut Wis
lteh Constantinople. He was in the old
FRANKLIN, fifty gun ship. now employed
rs receiving ship at Norfolk, and in his
reply TO his application for permission to
enter the Bosphorus with her he met
with prompt refusal. He was told that
the trea;yof Paris expressly provided that
foreign vessels of war should not enter
the sea- Instead of acquiescing, as the
commander of the Bancroft appears to
nave done i'll the like case, the hero of
Mobile protested, and informed the Grand
Vlzler that 1t was his purpose to anchor
ms flagship off the city of Constantine
pie. The Turks were shocked and u
council of foreign ambassadors, represent
ing the nations that had been parties to
the treaty of Paris, was called to rebuke
the impudent American.
Neither Farragut or our minister to
Constantinople, Loveioy Morris, ''scared
worth cent Farragut declared that
in the Biographies he had studied it was
nowhere stated that the Creator had be.
slowed on Turkey exclusive dominion
over the arm of the sea which divided
Europe from Asia. Lovejoy Norris re-
minded the divan that the Nevski, Rus
sian fifty ton frugate, had been allowed
to sail up to the city. To this last argu-
ment Sultan Abdul Aziz replied that the
Nevskl was commanded by IL prince of the
blood, which made all the difference To
this Farraguo retorted that he COM
manded 700 sailors who were all princes
OF the blood in the United States; and he
emphasized his purposes by lowering his
royal masts and all his upper spars. This
done, he politely informed the port war
den that he proposed to do himself the
pleasure of calling in his flagship on the
following morning. The visit WAS duly
paid, and the sultan informed Mr.. Nor
ris that so far as he was concerned the
admiral was welcome; that it was two
