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.

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. Huntsman's factory bad nothing
luuie to disclose. The secret of tuak-
itig taot steel iiau ieen round.

CURIOUS riECES OF MECHANISM RELICS
OF TUE OLDEN TIME.
A watch about the size of an egg, :
said to be made by a Russian peasant.
is now exhibited in St. Petersburg.
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 - '

The works of tlie watch form the brains

envelope, which acts as a musical toned
bell, while the dial plate serves as the
palate.

first, succeeds in etieirclinu her waist with

After the usual delay incident to sn.-h in
teresting occasions, the ti.aiden quits lliei ir

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.
