How Gold Pens Ars Made,

Metallic iridium, used so extensively
for the points Of gold pens, is made
from the powder obtained in the wet
way from platinum ore by heating to q
high heat In q sand crucible and then
adding stiok phosphorus. The iridium,
which cannot be melted alone, is thus
fused in the form Of an iridium phos-
phide. To remove the phosphorus the
phosphide is heated with. lime, and the
i,idium Is left IN the form of q hard
white mass. IT Is now so hard that ii
cannot be fled or cut and is broken up
into small pieces for soldering to the
paints Of gold pens. These small pieces
are ground to the right size on u copper
disk wheel with eL'Iry or carborun-
dunn. 1t IS said that an ounce OF irid-
ium will make from 5000 to 10000
pen points. 1t has also been found
that the iridium thus prepared is prac-
tically rs hard as the ruby. No steel
tools can make any impression upon it.
At one time much less expensive than
Platinum. iridium now Is worth more
on account OF the demand for hard plat
mum, in which the iridium Is the
hardening agent.-New York Press.

BURGLARS Get
A SMALL BANK
Enter Home of Joseph Mat
theWs at Report.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

~ W. - @H@ ~ SH
Keyport, Feb. 11.-Burglars en-
tered the residence of Joseph Mat
thews in Osborne street, Saturday
evening, being frightened way be-
fore they secured much loot. They
took with them however a small saw
ings bank containing apout $3.50.
The occupants of the house had
spent the evening at the Broadway
theatre, Mrs. Matthews and her sons
arriving home late in evening. The
first intimation hat something was
wrong was when Mrs. Mathews discov
cred the door leading to the cellar
was open. 1t is always kept closed.
On investigating 1t was found that
the cellar was very cold which fact
was due to the removal of the win
dow in coal bin and the forcing of
the coal bin door giving the thieves
entrance. When frightened away
they made good their escape by the
rear door of the house which they
unlocked from the inside.
Mrs. Matthews quickly summoned
aid and a thorough search of the
house and surrounding neighborhood
failed to reveal any trace of the burg
lars. Until a few days ago there was
a small bank In the house contain
ing about eighteen dollars, and it is
thought, that this was probably what
was the main object of the robbery
as a desk had been ransacked more
or less and the other bank taken.
That the parties who were in the
house Saturday night were familiar
with the property and the where
abouts of the occupants is the belief
of the owner and that 1t was not
the work of any stranger by any
means.
Some time ago the occupants OF
the house were awakened by mystcr-
ious noises about the property about
/ o'clock In the morning, and on IN
yestigating a person leaped off the
front porch. He joined two compan-
ions in the street and as they ran
away, a son of the owner fred sew
era shots from q revolver at them.
