But two • "Jlaacheri were present from McHenry •^•anly--Mr. Rennls. of Algonquin. and v ^ha writer. The County Superintend- yjlmta heH a meeting on Thursday even- ; v|«g «nd Friday forenoon and discussed £*pi* pertaining to their official '"ifrerk, : ̂ all of the wi<le-*w«ttrt*«eli- il^ra of the county are giving their plH t*tt ruction upon the ̂ general (lain of life, on tep'c* outside of the al textbook*. This instruction is fad fully as ranch a« any, and in rder to make it uniform and conse- uantly more effective, I have issued pamphlet, containing a list of ques- lons upon points Jihat should be un- rsteod by every citizen. Those In* reated please call at my office and •ne, or drop me a card and | frill ailyonacepy. ••w Shotcar* "' I'fW •v»rcome to Chicago, one of ha tint things that will he apt to •riw yeiir eye Is a high, round tower, *' nP seventeen stories, and almost :-.|M high as the highest church steeples. i'vilnl4^rt la where the the shot are The melted lead . is taken to T jlhe top of this high tower, aad ponred Tphrongh a colander or sieve, the drops ,;.%iHts( down in real leaden rain, near­ ly two hundred feet, cooling as they ^ j^ist as drops of rain harden Into / ftall«tenes, and falling into a tank of below. Now this might seem a ifimple and easy thing to do. and so it * ^*nld be If that were all there was to v 11. The drops of melted letfdin fall- lug have a tendency* to cool at the " |M>ttoni first, and so. instead of har- ',v Itaning into a round ball the upper 'v |»art would stretch out like the tall of »comet. Then n^ala. liqnlil »«taJs •' , tkrjrstaliEO in hardening. each partic- |lir metal having its own form, and it ' y happens that lead crystalizes into fcubes irtttead of globes,*so that unless the drops can bo made to form into • Spheres as soon as they leave the col* .gander, they will harden into cubes and " eeraets and all sort* of things, before S ;%hey reach the bottom;so it was nec- ! »s«ary to search around and find •emething rise which crystallized In a » f- idlferontform In order to counteract this tendency, ft was found that ar- Jsenle was the very thing. So now a 5.:: small quantity of arsenic is mixed xy with all the lead, ami the little drops g. • jform Into globes as soon as they leave ^ the colander, and most of them hard- j,'•en in that shape. Some are imperfect. 2" <h«irMmr. I They are lifted from tl» wttsr In little cups fastened to a revolving %-f " shaft, which also empties them upon <,*metal plates, where they are dried by steam, and then the good and the bad are separated from each other. In or­ der to do this a polished iron plate is 'lied at a certain angle, and the per- wet balls roll so fast and so easily, and at such a momentum, that when they . »n»e to the jumping off place, they ^ 'sake a bound and go clear over into a la fixed for them about a foot awaj. 'the imperfect ones, the comets and nch like, find their tails in the way. •nd go so much slower that when they , Mne te the end they reach only a re­ ceptacle at the bottom, and then are melted over and go through the same , process again. Bu; the good ones are not finished yet. They are n*xt' put Into a - keg. like cylinder along with some pluai- bago--and by the way, this plumbago j* eomet all the way from the islahd of Ceylon on purpose--the cylinder is set !• revolving very fast, and in a short time they come out beautifully pol­ ished and ready to be screened. The screening U to separate the. different aises from eadi other, for several dif- ereat sizes are made, ranging from buckshot down to a tiny little ball no larger than a- cabbage seed, and of which It must take several to do much execution. They are uow ready to put up for « s Market, and.this Is not the least inter­ esting of the whole. Little bags, large enough to hold twenty-Ave pounds, are hniig just below eome long Iron tubes through which the shot rung aad fall? into the bags, and when just tweutf-llve pounds have run In, a valve cloeefc, and not another grain can get through. So you see they weigh them­ selves. Then they are piled into a heap and are ready to be sold, and to 'ye go eut Into the world upon their mis­ sion of destruction.-- The Advance A M'KOIALTY Made of Clothing.
