cry. A spool Of brass wire running
on steel posts is fed into jaws which
bite of the length Of the pin. A small
length Is left to make the head, which
is formed by three rapid blows of q
hammer which moves forward one
twentieth of an inch at each blow, The
pin then drops to an incline in which
are grooves deep enough to admit the
shank, but not the head. AS the pin
moves down its point comes in con-
tact with cylinder with q file-like
surface, which causes the pin to turn
round SO that it is sharpened ON all
sides. 1t next drops into a receptacle,
where layer Of pins is placed, and
then a layer Of Underground tin until
the pan is filed. Heat and q chemi-
cal solution coat the pins with tin.
They are then polished in q barrel
revolving rapidly. They are placed
In the paper by a machine, which
seizes the paper and crimps 1t into
divisions as wide as the length of the
pins. The bottom Of the box is made
of square steel bars, which allow the
shanks. but not the heads of the pins
to pass through. The bars are in mo.
ton, thus shaking down the pins un.
til q row is formed. when they are
clamped In place by the bars. A fold
Of paper is pushed up against them

Oldest Welsh Melcdv

The Welsh Guards have a fine
marching song. in Land of My Fa-
theirs" This, according to Sir Ernest
Clarke, is the oldest Welsh melody
extant. having been composed in 7s5.
After many hundred years Evan
James. an obscure schoolmaster,
wrote some words to it, which have
come to be adopted as the Welsh ma.
tional anthem. At a mass meeting in
Wales to celebrate the end Of the
South African war very few knew

Fathers was rendered with immense
