MAKING BAND RECORDS.

known as the stylus.
The great growth in popularity of
the photograph, and the necessity for
keeping the owners supplied with fresh
literature" has caused the mere work
or manufacturing the records to as
sumo truly enormous proportions.
The first process in the manufacture
OF records takes place in the melting
room, where the proper constituents to
form the special grade o. wax en-
ployed in making the records are
brought together and melted in several
large watts, each of which contains
about 1000 pounds. .,here are three
MEETINGS in all, and between each the
fluid is carefully strained to remove
any hard or gritty impurities which it
might contain; for it is evident that
the presence of foreign substances,
even few particles of fine dust.
might easily produce fatal IRREGULAR
Ties IN the grooves of the record. The
frst two MEETINGS take pl ce in the
melting room. On entering this room
the most conspicuous feature is several
large, circular, rotating tables, set
around the periphery Of which is a
number OF round, iron pins which
form the core of the mold. Concentri-
cally around each of these pins is
placed a brass sleeve. The wax is
taken from the melting watts in a can
and poured into the molds in the
manner shown in our illustration. The
tables are constantly rotated, thus

PRAIRIE DOGS,

they Have Had Their Day ON the Plains
of the Far West.
Passengers on the 20" system who
have ridden the better part of a day
through western Nebraska and east
ern Colorado will remember the prairie
dog. He is numerous in that section
OF the country. He lives in villages
and the villages are as close together
as the villages Of certain parts of Eur
ope, says the Des Moines News. But
the prairie dog has had his day. The
agricultural department says he must

dogs kill the grass and ruin good graz
Ing land. "Tama Jim" has little of the
love OF ptcturesqueness in his make
up. He Ia eminently practical and his
philanthropy is Of the type which
seeks to make two blades of grass grow
instead Of one. Therefore he proposes
to relegate the prairie dog to the pic
ture books and to the stuffed specimens
OF the museum along with the buffalo.
Mr.. Wilson's chemists have discovered
a mixture that will make whole vii
lagos tight for the first bite, but which
at the last biteth like a serpent and
stingeth like an adder. Under its in
huence the hole that knows the prairie
dog will know 1t no more forever. The
frisky, nervous, barking little beast
will join the innumerable caravan of
prairie dogs who have gone before.
There will be more grass when the
prairie dog is gone, and therefore more
cattle. There will be less break
ing OF the legs Of cowboys ponies and
the rattlesnake will live alone in the
hole until the summons come to him
also.
