methods were employed for their COM

together two strips, one Of iron and
the other of steel. This compound
strip was then folded on itself, welded
together and drawn out to the origi-
nal length, when it was again folded,
welded and drawn out as before. Ex-
treme care was taken to insure each
weld being perfect, and the process
was repeated until the h1iiet from
which the blade was forged contained
many thousands of alternate layers c:
differing metal.

was scraped and filed all over and

How Blade Was Made.

HOW bldoe was MADE.
For grinding, finishing and sharpen
ing a series of stones of graduated
size and fneness were used, but never
circular revolving stone. The blade
was either rubbed on them, or with
then, held in the hand, and finally
the back and the two fiat sides OF
each face of the blade next the back
were ha-nshed with a steel burnish-
ing nesf.e.
The principle of using a hardened
edge while the body OF the blade re-
mains comparatively soft is the most
characteristic of the Japanese swords.
They are essentially cutting weapons
and the smiths object was to produce
a sword with very hard, keen and
durable edge, while at the same time
avoiding all danger of breakage, how
ever hard blow might be struck
The western swords are made equally
hard all over, but of limited hard
ness. II they we're made as hard all
over as the edge of the Japanese
sword they would be SO brittle as
to break the first hard blow.
The Japanese swords are divided
into two great classes called Koto and
Shinto, meaning old and new sword
respectively; that is, produced before
or after the year 1903 The Taiko
Toyotoml Hideyoshi is responsible
for this division and in his time flo.,--

SEES A VAST RAND OUTPUT.
London Promoter Predicts That Gold
Product Will Be Trebled.

A circular sent out by large and
respectable London house predicts
an annual output from the Rand be-
fore long of e50,0oO,O0O. The best
record for all South Africa is Gl6,5O0,s
600.
1T is reckoned that five years after
the resumption of normal conditions
some $4,000 stamps-four times the
present quant.ty-will be at work, and
could by that time employ 10000 addi-
tional skilled white and 100000 addi-
tional unskilled colored laborers. The
mining companies in which this COM
pany is mainly interested have at pres.
ent only 3S per cent of the unskilled
laborers required, to say nothing OF
the number which will be necessary
when the expected expansion of the
Rand industry takes place.
within the next ten ycars-given
favorable conditions-the output may
increase to as much as E50O0O 600 ~
annum. Just as the flow of gold re-
suting from the Rand's large produc-
tion in 1898 and 1899 had markedly
beneficial effect on the worlds money
markets, it is probable that the con.
siderable advance We confidently eX-
pect as soon as we have secured a
plentiful supply of unskilled labor will,

1t was early in 1902 that the Japan
society, now counting $50 members
and presided over by Viscount Haya-
shi, Japanese minister to the court OF
st. James. had a relatively modest
origin in London. Their object, as de-
fined by their statutes, was nothing
II rot comprehensive. 1t included the
encouragement Of the study of the
Jananese language, literature, history
and folklore of Japanese art, science
and industries of the social life and
economic condition Of the Japanese
people. past and present, and Of all
japanese matters. In fact, one must
suppose that nobody has ever hunger
ed more to learn SO much about ia
pan.
Among the chosen means of further
ing these fervent aspirations were
meetings, transactions and loan exhi-
billions. THE Arms and Armor Of
Old Japan" is the subject selected for
the first exhibition of the Japan So
ciety, and a highly interesting show it
Is. Either displayed in cases or hung
upon the walls. at the galleries OF the
Royal Society of Painters in Water
Co!ors, there must be at least 1,5O0 OBJ
jects and illustrations of warfare.
The greatest part dates from the
fourth and last evolutionary period of
old Japanese armor, beginning with
the Tokugawa Shoguniate, 1903, and
ending in 1871. when the wearing OF
arms was abolished. OF prehistoric

Sword Decorations.

For centuries the best work Of the
most famous artists in metal was de-
voted merely to the decoration of the
sword, and now, in the present.day
catalogue, three out of seven introduc-
tory articles are devoted to the sword
and its decorations. The swordsmiths
of Japan held. of course, very hon
orable position. They were not looked
upon as artists, and the forging of
blade was semireligious ceremony,
which required considerable prepara-
ton. AS a condition of success the
smith had to live moral life and ab-
stain from all excesses.
OF the swordsmith, Prof. Inazo
Ritobe writes: DAILY he commenced
his craft with prayer and purifcation.
or, as the saying was, he committed
his soul and spirit into the forging
and tempering of the steel. Every
swing of the sledge, every plunge into
water. every friction of the stone was
a religious act Of no slight import,
Was it the spirit of the master or of
his tutelary deity that cast such
spell over our sword? Perfect as a
work Of art. setting at defiance its
Toledo and Damascus rivals, there
was more than art could impart. Its
cold blade, collecting on Its surface,
the moment it is drawn, the vapors
Of the atmosphere; its immaculate
texture flashing light of blush hue;
its matchless edge. upon which his
tories and possibilities hang; the
curve Of Its back, uniting exquisite
grace with utmost strength-all these
fill us with mixed feelings of power
and beauty, Of awe and terror"
Pleasant 1t is, indeed, to meet with
such enthusiasm-yet, perhaps, the
unterrified western reader will con-
slider the marvellous quality OF Japa-
nese sword blade due TO the sword
smiths art and science rather than to
his purity and prayer. These blades
were forged from soft elastic iron
combined with steel, or from two or
three grades OF steel: and various
