MINT At SAN FRANCISCO
HAS ELECTRIC FURNACE
USED ESPECIALLY FOR MELTING
COPPER AND NIcKEL-OLD
AND NEW PROCESS.

The u. 5. mint placed in operation
on November a half-ton Rennerfell
electric furnace. This furnace super
sedes several gas heated crucible-
furnaces, and is being employed foi
melting cupro- nickel and bronze mix
lures used, respectively, for the five
cent and one-cent coins. The furnace
is not being used for melting gold on
silver says the Mining and Scientific
Press
The furnace operates on two-phase.
C0-cycle current supplied at 22OO volts
by the power company. and stepped
down to approximately 10 volts at
the furnace The amperage during "a
heat ranges between $50 and 500.
There are three carbon electrodes. The
holders are water cooled and the arc
is regulated by hand. 1t is probable,
however, that this will be superseded
by automatic regulation. The furnace
has an acid lining and bottom, silica
brick and sand being used 1t is
charged with pigs Of copper, nickel,
etc. together with crop ends from the
ingots, punchings from the sheets Of
metal from which the blanks for coins
are cut, and other scrap from the
coinage operations on account of
the method of operation, however. this
scrap is practically as free from i'm
purities as the original metal No
flux is used, but a layer of charcoal
is shaken on the surface of the metal
in the pouring ladle TO protect it from
oxidation
Old Method
At the present time the metal is
poured into a handladle holding about
100 pounds of metal and from the
ladle into the ingot-molds which are
of steel and are arranged i'm a sort OF
circular rack. The molds are made i'm
two halves which are clamped to-
gether The inside of the mold is
swabbed with crude oil to prevent the
molten metal from adhering to IT,
Each ingot is Approximately y by 3
by "a inches and weighs about 10l
pounds. A few minutes after pouring
the ingots are cool enough to permit
opening the molds The ingOts are
removed and Quenched i'm water the
interior of the molds is swabbed again
with oil and the molds are re-clamp- |
ed ready for pouring again. After
cooling the ingots pass to the crop |
ping machine where the upper part of
the ingot is sheared Off The ingots
then go to the rolling room. This
procedure is soon to be modified by
the installation of a slow moving con-
veyor upon which the ingot molds will !
travel. Operations will be timed so
that, at the proper interval the molds |
will be opened, the ingots quenched |
and the molds returned to the pouring |
position A conveyor will also take /
the ingots from the quenching tank to |
the cropping machine. In the rolling |
room the ingots are rolled into sheets |
the thickness of the coins % passes |
through various sized rolls being re-
quired. The coin blanks are then |
punched from these sheets. after
which the blanks pass through a ma
chine that turns up the edge They
are then annealed and polished he
fore the final operation of stamping.

AUTO CLIMBS POLE.

All kinds of jokes have been writ
ten and spoken of and hurled against
the Ford automobile, some of them
ludicrous and all good advertising.
They have been accused of all kinds
of stunts. One of the tribe, the
owner and occupants unknown al
the present writing, tried i'll vain
yesterday morning to climb tele
phone pole on the Georgetown pike,
near Paris. Result, a demolished
machine, and a telephone pole that
will have to be replaced with new
one. The driver of the auto appar-
entity lost control of the steering
gear, and the car, swerving from
road, crashed into the telephone
pole. Although the car and pole
were both smashed the driver luck
:ly escaped injury.

That which promises to be one of
the nolable events of the season,
will take place at the Grand Opera
House on Friday, January 9th,
when Boyle Voolfolk will present
his latest and best effort, the init
mate musical revue, my Sweetie."
"My Sweeties," which will have
the popular comedian, Max Bloom.
('"That's My Horse") in the princi-
pal comedy role, has been character
lied as possessing distinct original
ity, applying alike to book, music,
scenic effects and costumes. This
production is said to differ from most
so-called musical revues in that it
takes as material for travesty, not
simply theatrical hits of recent
months, but many events Of current
interest in world history and the
most blase theatre-goer must con-
cede that MY Sweetie" is distinc-
tive, is different, it has all the spar
kle and orilliancy of book, lyrics
and music that could be desired by
the most exacting patron OF
this type of entertainment, and
something besides, that may be des-
cribed as class" Thete is every
thing IT, my Sweetie" to make il
popular-it has tinkling score, is
tastefully costumed, daintily AMOUNT
ed and calculated to appeal to the
most discriminating audiences. The
cast surrounding Mr.. Bloom is one
of unusual excellence and the larg+
chorus is composed Of young ladies
who not only sing and dance, bu
are most pleasing to the eye. Aanons
the twenty or so musical number
may be mentioned, THE Oliver
Twist" Chicken Duett," 'Dieferen
Ways of Making Love-" "Som'
One" '.Dinah," Loving Time in

Depression Hits Akron

The scourge Of unemployment is being laid
upon the industrial population Of Akron, the
Tire City. The Goodyear Company has laid off
$4,000 hands in the past month; the Goodrich
Company, 10000; and other firms have dis
missed a proportionate number Of their work

Altogether, there must be about 10000 re-
Gently unemployed And this in a city of 100000
population. This huge accession to the ranks of
the unemployed is making itself keenly felt
through the consequent depression in trade.
Large tire manufacturing firms, which form
erly were working three eighthour shifts in the
twenty-four hours, are now working one shift
only, and with "skeleton crew" at that.
Together with this partial cessation of in
dustry is an effort on the part Of the employers
to lower the wages. The men have been earning
from eighty cents to a dollar an hour, for un-
skilled and semi-skilled labor, during and since
the war IF anyone applies now for a job, he
is told that he will be taken ON at SO cents all
hour.
The result is that the American workers, who
form a alrge portion of Akron's labor popula-
ton, are getting fighting mad; and every
