SOLV?i SECRETS, A manufacturer in these our dars i holds his own against competition by j force of capital, knowledge of science, and skill of workmen. lie has no se-! cret beyond that of producing the best article at the lowest price. One hundred years ago, the case was dif ferent. What a man dweoverd in j the art, he concealed Workmen were put upon their oath, in the name . of (Jod, never to reveal the process ' used by their employers. Doors woie , kept closed, artisans going out were searched, visitors were rigorously ex cluded from admission, and false Gyr ations blinded the workmen them- j selves. The mysteries of every craft j were hedged in by quickest fences ofj etnpiratieal pretention and judicial af iirm.'ition. The royal manufactories of porce lain, for example, were long carried on in Europe with the spirit of jealous exclusivcness. His majesty of JSaxony was especially circumspect. Xot con tent with the oath of secrecy imposed upon his work-people, he would not abate his kingly suspicion in favor of u brother monarch. Neither king nor king's delegates might enter within the tabooed walls of Meissen. What is erroneously called the "Dresden"' porcelain that exquisite pottery of which the world has never seen" the like was produced foi two hundred years by a process so secret that neither the bribe: y nor the garrulity of operatives ever revealed it. There used to be, close by Temple Jhir, in London, an old chemist's shop. The proprietor of it, in days gone by, enjoyed the monopoly of making crit ic acid. More favorably circumstan ced than other secret manufacture rs, his was a process that required no as sistance, lie employed no workmen. Experts came to sample anil assort and bottle his products. They never entered the laboratory. The mystic operations by which he grew rich were confined to himself. One day having locked the doors R!ltl blinded tile wilolmva &nrn na ...... 1 r i r i ' .

Following the sec re V keeper so far on Lis way to Charing Cross as to be sure he would not re turn that dav, the sootv philosopher hied rapidly back to Temple Uar, as cended the low building, dropped down the line, saw all lie wanted, and nturned, carrying with hiin the mys tery of making tritic acid. The mon opoly of the inventor was stolen. A lew months after, and the price of the article was reduced four-fifths. The poor man was heart broken and died shortly afterward, ignorant of the trick by which he had been victimized Like M iss Tabitha JJramblc, when in lormcd that the thunder had spoiled two barrels of I jeer in her cellar, he might have said, "Now the thunder should got there, when the cellar was double locked, 1 can't comprehend." The history of cast steel presents a curious instance of a manufacturing s.ent stealthily obtained under the cloak of an appeal to philanthropy. The main distinction between iron and steel, as everybody knows, is that j the latter contains carbon. The one is converted into the other by being heated for a considerable time in con tact with powdered charcoal in at: iron box. Now steel thus made is eneq ial. The middle of a bar is more carbon ized than the ends, and the surface nrjrethan the centre. It is, therefore unreliable. Uniform work cannot be in ide out of it. For many purposes it will answer, but where accuracy is required it faiU. Nevertheless, before the invention of cast steel there was nothing In-tter. in lTiiO there lived at Attfrclitie, near Shcllield, a watchmaker named Huntsman. He became dissatisfied with the watch springs in use, and set himself to the task of making them homogeneous. "If," thought he, ' I canmelt a'piece f steel and cast it into an ingot, it composition should be the same throuhoir.' He succeeded. His. steel becaun famous. Huntsman's ingots tor fine work were in universal dt mand. He did not call them cast steel. That was his secret About 1770 a large manufactory of this peculiar steel was established at Atterclill'e. The process was wrapped in secrecy by every means within reach true and faithful men hired, the work djvided and sub divided, large wages paid, and string-j cut oaths administered. It did not! answer. Une mnl winter night, as the tall chimneys of the Attercliife steel woiks la-lched forth their smoke, a traveler knocked at the gate. It was bitterly cold ; the sno.v fell fast, and I he wind howled across the moor. The strange-, apparently a ploughman or agricultural laborer seeking shelter from the storm, awakened no suspi cion. Scanning the wayfarer closely, :md moved by motives of humanity. Hi; foreman granted hi request, and let him in. Feigning to be worn out with cold nml fatigue, the poor fellow sank' upon the llovi and soon appeared to le tisleep. That, however, was far from Ids intention He closed his eyes ap parently only. Hw saw workmen cut bars of steel into bits, place them in tr"eibles and thrust them into a fur nace. The fire ras urged to its tx lieino Mwcr, until the tttctl wa melt ed. (,'lothcd in wet tags, to protect t iienjseve from the heat, tlio work men dieiv out the glowing crucibles, ami p; mi rod their contents in a mould. 31 r.

Within it is represented the tomb of t Christ, with a stone at the entrance i and the sentinels on duty. While a ! spectator is admiring this curious piece ! of mechanism the stone is suddenly . removed, the sentinels drop, the anirels appear, the womeu enter the sepulchre ; and the same chant is heard which is performed in the Greek church at ec. A watch someivhai larger, still small enough for a capacious pocket, was j shown at the meeting of the society of antiquaries a few years since; it had an alarm, and showed whether the hour was morning or afternoon in allegorical figures representing moining, noon, evening an 1 night, which presented ; tlipnis;fl VPS t.o ifw nr. nrnncr limna I other figures toid the day of the week and month, the name of the mouths, the phases of the moon, etc. ; but the figures of this machine were not dolls, but were engraved on revolving discs. A 'vatch at present in the Swiss muse um is sniallwei.ough to 'je inserted in the top of h pencil case. Yet its tinv dial not only indicates hours, minutes ami seconds, but aso days of the month. It is a relic of the times when watches were inserted in fciiulf boxes, shirt studs, ear riiig, breast pins and even finger rings. George III. earned one of these little time keepers, which was set in a ling like a jewel ; it con tained one hundred and twenty dilk-r-ent parts, and just about as many grains, so that the parts averaged one gram each, the balance wheel and pin i ion weighing the seventeenth part of a grain. 1 he king was no well pleased j with the wonder that lie rewarded the skillful donor with five bundled guin- j eas. Mary Queen of Scots had a j watch made in the shape of a dc.Uh's j head. The forehead of the skull bears j the symbols of death, the scythe and ! the hour glass placed between a palace and a cottage, to show the impartiality ; of the grim destroyer; at the back of the skull is Time destioying all tilings, and at the top of the head ar scenes ; of the garden of Eden and the cruci- ! lixioii. The watch is opened bv r - ' vfisinp; the skull, placing the n piu-r part, t)t it in int' noiiow ol tlie ami lifting the j.-iw liy a hinge ......

The works of tlie watch form the brains cf the skull, and are within a silver envelope, which acts as a musical toned bell, while the dial plate serves as the palate. . .. I - : i t i .

After the usual delay incident to sn.-h in teresting occasions, the ti.aiden quits lliei ir i l ie of h.-r relatione, and, putting her steed in a hard gallrp, darts into the open plain.

The race course is generally extensive say twelve miles long and three in width and :is the horsemen speed acritss the plain the favored lover soon becomes apparent by the ellotls of the maiden to avoid all others who niiht approach lier. Ott a certain occasion, after two hours' ra cing, l he number of pursuers were reduced to four, who were all together and gradually Cainintron the pursued. With them is the favorite, hut, alas! his horse suddenly fails in his speed, and as she anxioutly turns her head she perceives with dismay the hapless p -sition of :ier lover, while each of the more lortunate riders, eager with anticipate tri umph. Wilding hj.s head on his horse's mane shouts at the top of his voice : "I come, my 1'eri ! I am your lover I" lint she, making a sudden turn, and lash ing her horse almost to fnrv, darts across iheir path and makes, foi that part of the plain where her lover is vainly endeavoring to goad on his weary Heed. The other three instate 1 v check their ca. j reer, but in tlie hurry to turn back two of 5 noises are tiasueu rur otisiy nuainst each oilier, so thai both steeds and'iideis roll on the plain. The maiden laughs, for she well knows she can easily elude the single horseman and n.ii it tne point, where Ler lo tver awaits her coming. "ANfMiLi;" Instincts.
