MAKING 'OLD LEA
ittocess of Makin; the leaf is Vet' '
Interesting—Eltglisi Int
the ilest.
Making the best .gold leaf is all
expert job, and the gold beaters' craft
was for eentui'Ies handed down from
tether to son.
The process of making the leaf is
tuteresting, Twenty-three parts of
gold plus one par. of silver or copper
are melted and formed into bigots
which, when cold, are twelve inches
long, one Inch wide and a quarter 0f
an ineh thick, These ingots arc pass—
ed between rollers of hard steel until
their tldeicness Is reduced to about
ono -thousandth of an Inch, and this
ribholl q$ gold Is then ready for the
goldboa er.
The ribbon is cut into pieces each
about an inch square, and about two
hundred of these are interleaved be-
tween steers Of specially prepared
paper, each four Mabee equaro.
The beater then begins to beat
with a hammer weighing twenty
pounds, and at the end of half an
hour the gold has extended to the
edz••s of the paper.
The gold is taken out and cash
piece cut into four, then these are
placed between four -Inch squares of
goldbeater's skin and beaten with a
fourteen -pound hammer. At the end
of two hours these have again reach-
ed the edges of the sheets and are
ready for the third and final process.
About a thousand pieces are inter-
leaved between five -Inch squares of
goldbeater's skin •which have been
dusted with powdcud talc to prevent
sticking. and beaten with hammers
weighing from six to ten pounr:a for
about five hours, or until the gold
rovers .he surfyoo of the skin. It is
this part of the work that calls for
most skill on the part of the work-
man, for the geld must be beaten
evenly all over. By this time the leaf
has become so thin that a quarler of
a million leaves piled one on ani r
make a thickness of only one inch.
All that remains to he done is to
cut the leaf into three-and-a-qu:.r.er-
inch squares and make the little
leaves up into books. The rusting is
done on a soft leather cushion with a
wooden tool having strips of cane for
the cutting edges, and the squares
are -laid between tissue paper which
has been treated with a red powder
to prevent the gold from sicking to
tate paper.
This gold leaf Is so intensely titin
that it cannot of course be handled
and the little leaves are picked up
and moved by Ole aid of a cannel's
hair brush. These books of leaf have
endless uses. such as gilding picture
frames, pencils, weathercocks, clock
figures, and for lettering signs.
English gold leaf is no, thin in
places like foreign lett. This quality
is due to the skill of English gold -
beaters, and is one reason why Eng-
lish gold leaf is acknowledged to be
the best in the world.
MENAteel OF OIL.
Released From Ships It Causes Death
of Sea Birds.
Oil cast on the seas of the world
by oil -driven ships is causing terrible
destruction among sea birds. The re-
leased oil forms a film over large
tracks of water, and results in thick
sheets of a floating black sludge of
tar -like consistence. The birds,
while swimming, accidentally enter
this, anti their feathers are soon soak-
ed and clogged to retch an extent
that their. can (,either fly nor obtain
fond.
Gannets, razorbills, guillemots,
scoters, (lurks, cormorants, and
grebes are caught in ;he oil, and
thousands are cast ashore either dy-
ing or dead. For days, 14211 week .
they float un the surface, being driv-
en here and there by the winds and
tides. Then, eller slow I'turvatiOn,
death comes ee their relief.
This peril does not concern birds
alone. Some of our popular seaside
resorts have 1112,•0 made impossible

Fish are being killed by the hundred
thousand; also their eggs. What is
perhups more impor'a lt, the food on
which many tirhrts live is being de-
stroyed, with the result that fish
wanted by filhe(men are being driven
farther afield.
Some Ileums of sea birds have been
seriously depleted of their population
by this menace.

Avoiding Losses
• When your finely polished table is
stained by a water mark it deprec-
iates in value both intrinsically and
materially. It is one of dozens of
causes of depreciation and spoilage
in the home. Many looses from
this source may be avoid?
ed, and consequently budgets may be
relieved from their added strains.
in the above case a soft cloth moist-
ened with water and a drop or two
of ammonia fo]lowedby an oily cloth
will remove the stain. But it must be
done quickly and lightly. Cotton
should not be used for this purpose
because it may leave a lint to cloud
the wood.
Scratches on polished wood need
not make the pieces of furnture so
affected unsightly. A rub of furni-
ture polish is usually enough, and
for deeper scratches a touch of wood
stain.
Valuable oil paintings are ruined
yearly by ignorant handling. Oil
paintings should be wiped off with
"dry" suds and then carefully dried.
When a painting begins to sag it is
a sign the canvas requires stretching.
If the painting is of any value at all,
have it stretched over a new frame
before it becomes irreparably damag-
ed.
One unskilled rub of wall paper
may make it necessary to repaper an
entire room. Soft dry clothes rubbed
straight down will clean wall paper,
but they should be changed as fast
as they become soiled, else one will
rub the dirt in. Old bread is a good
cleanser,
By freshening up household artic-
les we often save the expense of re-
placement. For this purpose paint
is used in many instances. Brushes
should be clean, paints free from'sed-
iment, furniture itself well dusted
off, and so on.
The easiest loss or expense to a-
void is the Otte "in the making."
Freshening` up the house at this
time of the year serves a double
purpose. It saves on one's possess-
ions, and it gives the house a freshier
and more attractive holiday appear-
