HOW SHOT is MADE.
One Case IN Which Man Cannot linz
prove on Nature.

"Did you know the method of making
shot has never changed? No: Well
il : fact" said the shot maker Hun
dreds Of years ago shot was made in
just the same way it is made now
Seems strange, doesn't it. that with all
the improvements in other lines none
Las been made in this! oh. yes. plen-
tv of men have tried to find some bet
ter way. but they all have had to give
il up and so back to the old shot tow
er They wanted to get rid Of the high
tower. for that is the most expensive
part of The plant
You know, shot is made by pouring
a melted composition of lead and ar
senic through a screen or from a big
ladle with a serrated edge at the top of
the tower and letting it fall into a tank
of water. The drops of lead get per-
fectly round on their way down just
like raindrops. and by the time they
reach the water they are cold enough
so they do not fatten out when they
strike Then the water finishes the
cooling process.
'"They have tried dropping the lea6
through big tube, with blast of cold
air against the outside, and they have
tried dropping it through glycerin, but
none of these ways seems to work.
Why can't they improve en- it? Well,
l suppose because the fellow who start
ed making shot found the right way.
It's just following the course that Ma
ture takes in making hail, and I don't
suppose they can beat her at her own
