did you know the method of making
shot has never changed? No? Well. it's
a fact" said the SHOEMAKER. Hundreds
of years ago shot was made in just the
same way it is made now" says the New
York Press. Seems strange. doesn't 1t,
that with all the improvements in other
lines none has been made in this? Oh,
yes, plenty of men have tried to find
some better way, but they all have had to
give it up and go back to the old shot
tower They wanted to get rid of the
high tower, for that is the most ex-
pensive part of the plant.
You know shot is made by pouring
a melted composition of lead and arsenic
through screen or from big ladle with
serrated edge at the top of the tower
and letting it fall into tank of water
The drops of lead get perfectly round on
their way down just like rain drops 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 lead
through a 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 on it? Well, I
suppose because the fellow who started
making shot found the right way. It's
Just following the course that nature
takes in making hail and I don't suppose
they can beat her at her own game.
That's why they haven't made any i'm
