cutting end of the saw, and they range
from about one-third of an inch to one
inch in diameter. In novelty works
buttons an inch and half or larger
are made.
Before going to the finishing ma
chimes the blanks are usually passeu
through four intermediate processes.
First they are passed through blank
classifier, where, by falling between
rollers they are separated into diner
ent lots according to thickness. Next
they are placed in tumblers, consisting
of heavy and slowly revolving barrels
of iron or wood, in which they are
churned with water and pumice stone
to clean them and remove any possible
rough edges. The blanks are then
ready for the grinder, machine NJ
ted with an emery wheel which grinds
away the horny backs and reduces the
blanks to a uniform thickness. Final
~ the blanks are again soaked in Wa
ter to be softened for the finishing ma
chine. They are then ready for the
essential processes of button making,
which are accomplished by an auto
matte machine Of comparatively recent
invention and of very ingenious design.
The blanks are fed by hand into de-
pressions in the tops of vertical chucks,
which are arranged in series CONSTITUTE
ing an endless chain. AS the chucks
in the endless chain pass around the
circumference of the machine each
blank is automatically operated upon
by various tools, and each tool is au-
tomatically sharpened and prepared for
the succeeding blank. The processes
accomplished in the machine consist
in rounding the edges and carving out
the center in the desired pattern. At
ter the first hole the drill rises, the
button makes turn through fourth
whether 1t is to be four-hole or two
| hole-button), when the drill again de-
scends to make new hole. After the
last hole is drilled the chuck opens
automatically to release the button,
which is sucked into tube connected

! into a bucket through counting tube.
From the cutting machine the but
tons are taken to the churns, where
| they are tumbled or churned, with wa
ter and pumice stone to clean them,
take off the rough edges, and make
them ready for receiving the final pol
ish. The polishing is also tumbling
/ process, in which, however, sulphuric
acid is used in conjunction with steam.
After the buttons are dried in shak-
ers with sawdust, they are placed with
dry saWdust and washing powder in
d combined tumbler and shaker. This
| process removes any trace of limy de-
post and gives the final luster. Final
ly the buttons are conveyed in buck
cts or boxes to the sorting room where
they are sorted according to qualities
and grades and sewed to suitable cards
for packing in boxes, ready to be sold

method is based on the characteristic
habits of the fresh-water mussels,
which lie habitually half imbedded in
the bottom of a stream, with the
hinder end of the shell directed against
the current and slightly gaping. If a
stick or hook be inserted into the open
ing of the shell. the mussel at once
closes tightly and will hold for a long
time, even while being dragged over
the bottom and hauled up to the boat.
The more elaborate apparatus now
used was first brought to the notice of
the river men of the upper Mississippi
in 1897. The crOwfoOt apparatus con-
sists essentially of bar to which many
short lines, bearing four-pronged wire
hooks, are arranged at intervals. By
means of a towing line the bar is
dragged above the bottom, while the
hooks trail on the mussel bed with
the current. When hook enters a
shell opening, the mussel closes upon
the hook, and in consequence is
dragged from the bottom. When the
bar is raised after suitable time,
numerous mussels may be hanging
from the hooks.
1t Is usual to equip barges with
number of these bars so that the bed
OF stream may be dragged thorough
ly. The most satisfactory boat has
been found to be the ordinary John
boat. It's length is from Ia to 20 feet,
with a width at the center of from 8
TO 5 feet, but it always has narrower
ends, and is usually of light draft. For
work on much larger scale, heavy
barges, approximately 10 by 40 feet,
are used.
After the mussels are brought ashore
the soft parts must be removed. Where
pearling is the exclusive object, each
mussel may be opened with q knife
inserted between the valves of the
shells, so as to sever the adductor
muscles; the meat is then cut out and
examined for pearls. Such process,
however, is entirely too slow and tedi-
Gus for preparing shells for market.
so the cooking-out process is exclusive
| ~ employed in the shell fishery. The
muSsels are cooked in a vat feet long
by 2 feet wide and from II to 1S
inches deep. This usually takes about
half hour.
After reaching the button factory
the shells are first soaked In tanks
or watts for week or more. The soak
| ing process is intended to soften the
material, which would otherwise be toe
hard on the saws, as well as so brittle
as to chip and yield blanks with rough
edges. The machine used in cutting
is essentially lathe fitted with a tubu
lar saw of the necessary diameter to
obtain the required size OF button, and
a wooden plug and a ratchet handle OF
lever for gradually forcing the rough
shell against the rapidly rotating saw

are cut are crowded through the tubu

last census discovered that the value
of all buttons produced in this coun-
try in a single year is more than SoO,-
100000. This represents several bill
lions of buttons.
The freSh-water muSSel, the loWly
clam of the old swimming hole, is the
largest single source of buttons in this
country. Something like $4,000 tons of
clam shells are used annually in the
manufacture of more than 5O000,0OC
gross of pearl buttons which, at pres
ent prices, are valued at more than
S15.O00,0O0. In addition to buttons,
the mussel shells are also used in the
manufacture of novelties, jewelry.
chicken feed, road materials and COM
position marble.
Several years ago the bureau of fish
cries discovered that the great clam
beds which are the source of the best
buttons were being rapidly exhausted.
Investigation showed that nature. in her
propagation and growth of pearl but
ton material was wasteful. 1t was al
so found that natural propagation oil
mussels could be improved and con-
trolled artifcially and means were
taken to restock the clam beds. In
this scheme fish are a necessary adj
junct.
When fresh-water CLANS have just
started their development they must
become parasitic upon fish if they are
to reach maturity. Almost as soon as
they are Matched the baby clans at
tach themselves to the gills of fish.
Here they cling for the next week or
two. When they have developed suffi-
GENTLY to shift for themselves, they
detach themselves and drop TO the
bed of the river. If undisturbed there,
they become full grown at the end OF
Ave years.
The trouble with this natural process
eg development is that the great ma
jority of tiny clans do not find fish
to which they may attach themselves,
and they die in their infancy. Elk
merits of the bureau of fishery then con-
ceiyed the idea of artificially infect
ing the fish with the parasites, and Inn
mediately the problem was solved. I'm
der this artificial treatment fish can
garry a thousand or more embryo mus
sels in it's gills, whereas under nat
ural conditions it may become host to
only a dozen or so.
The principal mussel-yieldine
streams are found in the states of Min
nesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri
Arkansas, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee
Kentucky and Alabama, the Mississippi
river producing the largest number Of
shells. The mussel fishery is per
manent and important industry, and il
scarcely any locality where shell fish
cry was once established has it evel
been entirely abandoned. The extent
of the fishery in any locality may vary
from year to year, however, as it /:

as the demand for shells of certain
