Tho Disappearance of a Town.

"Whoever suffers from sense of the
youth and crudlty of this country
said n returned tourist, "shoud take n
trip to the Isles of SHOALS. There he
will see few scattered relics of the
once flourishing town of Gosport, a
fishing village of some 600 persons,
which has been completely wiped out.
The Isles now occupied by hideous ho-
tells and summer cottages, We're once
the home of a particularly sturdy ana
intelligent class of people, who had an
academy that attracted students from
the mainland; sold fish to Spain and
other foreign countries rs well as to
our own, and were In every way a de-
sirable element Of population. Their
downfall began with the Revolution,
when they were forced to leave the
islands because there was no way of
defending them against the English
wnrships, and has been made com
plete within the past few years, when
the proprietors of the hotels have grad

and about the only reminders Of them
left are a tiny, little. stone church,
which was erected IN 1900, and num-
ber of graves scattered about the
islands. After an existence of nearly
two centuries and half Gosport has
disappeared, probably never to figure
again, as the islands are doubtless n
source Of greater revenue as n sum

homes of fishermen. n."-Philadelphia

DIAMOND DIES USED NOW.
Brass wire Made rs Fine Cobwsbs--Cop.
pers so Thin as to he Transparent.

pers so Thin as to Be Transparent.
One of the latest and most wonder.
ful developments IN brass making Is
the use OF the diamond die by means
of which lngot brass is today drawn
down to wire of the ilneness of nine
tcnths OF a thousandth part of an
inch, says the Waterbury Comm cor
respondent OF the New York Sun.
steel may also be drawn nearly as
fine, and the two products when com
pleted are as fine and soft as the
threads of cObweb. and are as wavy
and glossy as human hair.
The brass hair Is of a beautiful au-
burn color, while the steel Is of an
iron gray. This wire Is about as
strong as human hair and IL of value
for mechanical purposes, being In
great demand by makers of electrical
apparatus. Never before was SO fine
wire drawn. Until recent years wire
was drawn through steel dies. The
development of the diamond die to
Its present stage of perfection has
rendered possible the production of
much finer wire. In fact, the size of
the wire now possible IL limited only
by the ability to hold together us 1t
comes through the die.
The diamond die is made of lake
diamond looking not unlike bit Of
islnglass. The hole through which
the wire is drawn Is drilled through
the diamond, and the stone Is then
stuck on n steel slab with glue, direct
ly over hole in the slab which is a
trlfie larger than that in the diamond.
The wire to be drawn is then led
through the diamond so that the stone
bears steadily against the slab. This
keeps the diamond in position.
The brass ingots from which The
cobwebby wire is made are four inch
es square and long enough to weigh
about 1S0 pounds. One of these will
make miles of the cobweb wire. 1t
is first put through steel rolls until
IL Is reduced to the size of ones finger,
and then 1t Is drawn by machinery
through set of steel dies, gradually
decreasing in diameter, until 1t comes
out In the shape of the wire of the
fineness seen In the ordinary trades.
Then it is put through set of eight
diamond dies, the diameter of the last
being the ininitesimal part of an inch
indicated above.
Another curious thing i'm this brass
making country is the development of
hydraulic rolls which are SO scientific
ally adjusted that Il copper cent may
be rolled out under them to the size
of an enormous platter, and to thin
ness that amounts to transparency,
so that n newspaper may be read
through the metal. The operation has
to be conducted with great care. One
of the cents thus rolled out was sent
to Queen Victoria as n curiosity some
time ago, and the Queen returned
letter thanking the workmen.
