prejudces Of the advocates Of simplicity" been
overcome sufficiently to admit the black gown
on the City Court bench. Even in Brooklyn the
opposition has succeeded thus far in preventing
the introduction of the robe. There is nothing
gorgeous picturesque about the new robes.
They made of heavy lustreless silk. and are
OF the same pattern as the gown which was
worn by John Calvin and known now among
makers of ecclesiastical garments as Geneva
gowns
The advocates of the gown on the bench say
that its adoption is simply doing honor to cos
tune which had it's origin in Egypt. was per
petuated by the Jews and Romans and sur
vived in it's original form through ages. The
judges gown was white in its early days and
changed many times in style and color unth IL
became the present garment The popularity OF
the black robe established in the days when
many Of the judges were priests. and When'
later on layInen were selected as judges. they
adopted a priestly robe to add dignity and I'M
portance to their office
While there are many lawyers in New-fork
who still object to the gown there are also
hundreds who believe that the moral erect or
the garment would warrant its adoption by the
judges of the lower courts.

CHAINS, BIG AND LITTLE.
HOW THEY ARE MADE AND TESTED
THE FIRST ENGLISH PATENT FOR
THEIR MANUFACTURE.

Among the curiosties which were preserved in
the old State Library at Albany none attracted
more attention than the few links Of the mon
ster chain which did service in the days Of the
Revolution to prevent the progress of the British
ships up the Hudson River. The great chain.
with links more than two feet in length, was
stretched across the river near West Point and
remnants Of the unique blockading material are
preserved in various parts Of the country. sew
eral links being in the possession Of Abram S.
Hewitt.
Bombs. mines. Notifications and torpedoes
have taken the place Of the chain a barrier
against ships but monster chains are still man
ufactured in large quantities. and the Jones &
Laughlins Company is now making a chain the
links Of which are formed out Of rolled steel
three inches in diameter. Welding by electricity,
winding the metal rod from which the links are
made around a mandril, cutting the pieces by
machinery and Joining them by blows from pow
erful steam hammers. binding the links and
testing the completed chains with hydraulic
pressure are all modern processes in the chain
making Industry. but the great chains used in
the shipbuilding trade are made much as they
were made many years ago. But. according to
the statement Of a manufacturer. the American
now has the satisfaction OF using the product OF
years ago about 80 per cent of the chains used
in the United States came from England. and
now fully % per cent Of the amount consumed is
made in this country. Some concerns still carry
English chains in stock in order to be able to
supply English ships whose commanders usually
refuse to buy any other than chains which have
a British stamp.
The commercial article. as made in this coun-
try ranges from three-sixteenths of an inch to
one and three quarter inches, and no chains are
put on the market unless they have been tested
Thus a three -sixteenth-inch chain of five pounds

seven hundred pounds. and the better grades as

Some Of the tobacco imported from Sumatra
for making the wrappers OF cigars has a Curl
Ously speclted appearance. In the minds "
certain buyers this marking Is evidence that the
cigar has n Sumatra wrapper. Such Is not all
ways the case, for the artful manufacturer has
learned how to spot American tobacco art-
fcaly and ne occasionally does so in so clever
a manner that the uninitiated customer never
suspects the trick.
Sumatra is a Dutch possession. and the spot
ting of the tobacco raised in that island has
been made the subject OF investigation by Pro-
OF Sciences This learned man presented to the
Academy a few weeks ago paper in which he
set forth the results of his inquiry. He de-
