The Exeter Times, 1889-7-18, Page 9MAKING PINS. A Description or the blaaataeturo or a ''e'' 'recta Article. The manufacture of a pin was a tedious process when entirely made by hand ; no less than twelve or fourteen prooesses had it to pass thrcngh.before it was completed, The wonderful machinery now in use has mueh simplified matters. First of a11, vhe wire must be prepared. It is placed Ina ooil on a revolving block and drawn through holes pierced in a steel plate lentil it is of •the size required for the particular pin to be made.' It is then taken to the pin -making room, where we find rows of machines moved by steam sewer and producing^ a constant stream' f pins at the rate of 180 to 200 per minute hickremoved-from the recap w, are Moles into which they fail by the workman and his attendants, who look after the pro- per working of the machines, If we stand in front of a machine we see a coil of brass wire on a revolving drum. The end of the wire passes through a hole and then between iron pegs whioh straighten the wire and keep it is its place as ib is drawn into the machine, In the maohine we sae a pair of pointed pincers take hold of the wire, oarry it for ward a abort distance, and •put the end through a hole in a small iron plate. Watoh carefully and we see a pretty little hammer strike the end as soon as it appears on the other side of the iron plate. By aneaessive blows of tide hammer the bead is made. This done, down falls a sharp blade and outs the wire feta the length required for thepin'(the'mauhine'can be ad- justed to out the pins of anylengf 1 desired) This prooess of drawing in, ha .ding, and outing off goes on continuously, and the o pins' are then carried on to the punting part of the machine. ' The polnbless pin now fall into a slanting groove lust wide enough for it, but too nar• row to let the head through, Thus we see a row of pins hanging by their heads nearly the whole length of the machine. Beneath is a revolvnig cylindrioal fife. The amities of the cylinder represents a series of graduated files,: on which, as they are worked backward and forward, the pins are pointed. They fall into a receptacle below, bus as yet they are yellow, the odor of brass wire; they are also greasy. They are now put into barrels,which are ,turned round and round, and by this means thoroughly scoured and cleaned, and are now ready to be "silvered." .They are now put into kettles heated. by steam, and spread about as evenly as° possible. • A powder of fine tin isthen spread over them and a certain portion of acid added: In this they are boiled for about four hours. When taken out they are found- to `be 'covered with a thin coating of tin, which gives th4nn the bright and lively appearance which all pins possess. The pins are then dried by being thrown into sawdust and polished by lasing pub into barrels revolved by machinery. Thence they are placed in a• flat tray, and the work- men, by'.a'}aeouliar. tossing motion, •which requires' much' :skill, separate all:, the dust from the pine,' which are now oleon , bright, andeady for use. There is a very ingenious machine need or "sticking" the pins which are Lobe sent to the market on papers. The paper is placed on` a piece of curyea metal and orimp. ed and placed in position to received• the pins, whioh are passed out of a receptacle at the top of the maohine by a girl, who with a brush, dexterously sweeps them into grooves placed in an inclined plane leading down to the paper. Thus arranged they pass down the ma- chine in long lines, and by a lever the paper is brought under the pine, and by a beauti- ful bib of machinery they are pressed through the crimpled edges of the paper. Thus, row by row, the whole sheet is filled.

Queen Natalie of Servia has been definite- ly thrown overboard by theRussianG•overn- ment. This, is conclusively shown by the fact that Archbishop Michael, who hasjust returned to Belgrade , from his five y ears' exile at St. Petersburg, linaugurated his re• gumption of the office 'of Metropolitan of Servie. by solemnly blessing, and thus recog- nieing as valid, the cote of Archbishop Theo- dosius as Primate during his;abeenoe. As the principal achievement of Theodosius was to pronounce the decree' of divorce between Milan'„and Natalie, against which Arch: bishop' Michael protested at the time, the benediction lash 'week, 'which took piece with muoh pomp in the presence of the boy king and of the Russian envoy, Was of peculiar significance.—(N.

All in the Wad it is Put, An English clergyman and a Lowland Scotsmen were examining an Aberdeen school. "Would you prefer to speer the boys, or that I should speer then? r asked the master of the school. The Englishman, being told that "speer" meant to question, desired the master to proceed. He did so, and the boys answered many queations as to the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. "I would like to speer the boys," then said the clergyman. "Boys, hewPharaoh die ?' . Nob a boy answered. "I think, air," said the Lowlander, "that the boys don't understand your E aglish, .aooent; let me try what I can make of them."' In` the broad- est Scotch he asked, ' "Hoo did Phawraoh dee ? Again a dead silence. "I think, gentlemen," said, the master, "you can't speer these boys;.]''ll show you how to, do it. Then, turning to the soholaro—"Fat cam to Phawraoh ab tie hinder end?" "he was drooned,"answered the boys. The master'. explained that in the Aberdeen. dialect "to dee" means to die a natural death ; hence the perplexity of the boys, who knew that Pharoah did not die in hie. bed. Suicide at Sea.

In the magnificent city : of Melbourne, Australia, 'there lives a' a! prince:" named Berate, who is the last surviving son of the Australian chieftain Yarra:Parra; who once possessed the land upon which Melbourne and its" environs stand. Barak does not now live in prinoelystyle. • His badly worn clothes are the gifts of benevolent persons, and be lodges and subsists upon charity. HO can hardly be called a:beggar, for he never 'asks for anything ; but if a bit otsilver•is slipped into his hand to buy tobacco with; he accepts it with thanks. For all his poverty, Berak is said to be a fine.looking man. He is about sixty•five years old, quite black, a• little under the medium height, white bearded and straight- haired. He bas a fine forehead, a • Grecian nose, large mild and expressive eyes, and thin lips. When he smiles, as he often does, he shows all his thirty-two teeth, still per. featly whole, white and shapely. Barak, who bakes his own reduced air oumetanoea and the decline of his rage quite philosophically, isfond of telling the story of his people, the Australian natives. Before the arrival of the Eegllsh, these people had neither cattle, horses, sheep, nor hens They did not cultivate the ground, and lived wholly by hunting and 'fishing. Their chief; game was the kangaroo, the small Australian bear, paroquets of various kinds, a sort•of wild duck or widgeon, and the black swan—for is Australia the black • birds are white and the swans black. The natives fished neither with the hook nor with the net, bub lanced both fish and, eels Barak acknowledges freely that bis ancee tors were cannibals; he even remembers taking part in a cannibal feast in his own childhood. But his people, he says, never ate any of the Englishmen.; "It is the Eng. Nehmen who have eaten Barak 1" The native Australians were cruel in their punishments. Great criminals were beaten to death with clubs in the presence of the tribes. At the same time,. ;they were not without kind feelings. When, upon •the march, an old and feeble man had fallen out of the line, it was their custom to send back two or three stalwart warriors to guard and assist him. • Such of the native Australians as still survive in a savage state; possess many peculiar customs. Strangers meeting must 'remain` some time silent and if, they become good friends they signify it by exchanging names. The name, they think, is'a part of the man himself, and to possess it gives a power for evil, so that it ahonld be known only to friends. Although the Australians are not, as a rule, polygamists, they "hold, that women should be kept in subjection, and cut off the last joint of the little finger of females as as a sign of their subordination. Tne men undergo a still more remarkable mutilation as a sign of subjection to their chiefs : they. have their teeth knocked out by their " ko - edeer men," or priests. Berak, being a ohief by birth, escaped this ceremony. Hagarth, a traveller who has described the ways of the Australians, writes of a' semi domesticated native that said to' him one day, " with a look of importance, that he mush go away for a few days, as he had grown up to man's estate, and ' ib'was high time that he should have bis teeth knocked out.''y TheAusbralians have long been regarded as one of the' most degraded of rapes, but they possessed, at Toast when first visited by the Europeans, many ecoellsnt• and friendly .qualities. They have diminished until they now number cnly about seventy- five thousand, and no doubt will, .before many generations, completely disappear, as the natives of Tasmania have already done.
