II any one enjoys the sight OF per-
iectly working machinery, he should
visit the Robust. From the little gil
ant crusher at the top OF the building,
to the quiet little machine that cuts the
zinc into ribbons, the working seems to
be perfect. You look into the furnace,
and see the flames leaping and twisting,
In mad effort to escape from their
iron prison; you look into the dryer,
and see the ore turning regularly with
the revolving cylinders. You see the
big tanks filed with the crushed ore;
while above, the different rollers are
doing their work, and making them
selves heard above the sound OF your
voice-making little louder protest
than usual, now and then, as some flu
gitive piece OF rock larger than its fell
lows, comes beneath their pressure.
