The Metal ls Beaten Fer Hours by
Men, Then Finished by Girls.
In one of the downtown business
streets may be seen sticking from one
of the upper windows 4 massive arm
and hand, the hand grasping a huge
hammer and the whole sign gilded. 1t
Is the sign Of the gold beaters' estab-
Mshment. where thousa nds of the gold
sheets are turned out after having
been packed by girls.
Gold leaf is packed more by the aid
Of the breath than by the hands. The
operation Of transferring q sheet Of
almost transparent gold leaf from one
place to another Is % delicate that 1t
IL possible to do 1t only by q light
pun of the breath. 1t takes most girls
six weeks to acquire this knack. and
some girls are never able to acquire it.
The gold reaches the heaters first
In wide bars or nuggets and has to be
weighed. melted and made into inch
wide ribbons before anything else is
done. The ribbon is then cut into inch
squares and beaten with q hammer
welded by q man. When each leaf
has been beaten thin it Is transferred
to a mold. where 1t is beaten four
hours more The beating is done with
a wooden hammer weighing from
seven to eighteen pounds. on q sheep
skin cushion, which rests on granite
block. The gold used for beating is
usually % or q carats fine. A little
alloy Of copper or silver is added to
make it spread. It would be impos.
sible. the beaters say. to handle per.
fectly pure gold.
After the gold has been beaten Il

FEARED POSTMASTER FOX MAY
HAVE DROWNED HIMSELF.
Washington Woman Believes She
Saw Him in Washington Church
Last Friday Morning.

There have been no developments NJ a
definite nature in the mysterious disap-
pearance of Charles Albert Fox, jr., the
young postmaster of BeItsville, Md, who
was last seen at his home Thursday
morning. June ~, despite the untiring ef-
| forts of his friends and the police of two
cities in efforts to locate his whereabouts.
| AS last resort II was determined today
| to drag q pond near his home. in the be-
lief that, owing to his i'll health. he may
have drowned himself. The dragging OF
the pond will not. however. influence the
search elsewhere for the missing man.
What may lead to A clue TO the posi-
biity of his being in Washington was
the contents of letter received by Dr..
Charles A. Fox. father of the missing
man. Monday morning from Mrs. Clare
Hanson Mohun of 212i California avenue,
this city. Mrs. Mohun told DR. Fox that
at the O'Clock mass In ST. Matthew'S
Church Friday morning last she noticed
a young man come into the church and
take a seat i'm A pew directly in front of
her. He seemed to be Iaboring under sn
intense mental strain, and instead Of pay
ing attention to the services kept his
gaze on a religious figure on the north
wall of the church. Daring the whole
time he was in the church, Mrs. Mohun
wrote lie acted very strangely.
After some hesitation he took seat

but sat sideways gazing intently at q

suddenly left his place after a while and
walked around to the middle aisle and
took one of the upper pews, thought
no more of him until the congregation
were leaving after the holy communion.

MOTORMAN TESTIFIES
AGAINST GIRL In SUIT.
Declares Miss Reed Was to
Blame for Crash.

Testimony is still being heard in the
case of Miss Margaret Reed, of "a Mid
land avenue. Montclair. against the
Public Service Railway Company, in
Judge Adams's division of the Supreme
Court Circuit. Miss Reed was injured
while riding on a bob-sled owned by
William L. Ludlaw, jr., on February IL,
1908. and wants So 900 from the COM
pany.
The sled eolided with a Valley road
car at the Claremont avenue crossing
and all the occupants were injured.
Three others have suits against the
company in the same case, and the
legal battle is being hard fought by the
attorneys on either side in the suit
started by Miss Reed.
McHugh, the motorman who was
operating the car the night of the acct
dent, testified today that the cled on
which Miss Reed was riding had plenty
of room to cross the tracks in safety.
This testimony is disputed by the
plaintiffs attorneys. The jury will
probably get the case late this after
noon.
