The Pellets Formed of an Alloy of Arsenic and Lead-Process in Detail. “Lead shot,’’ said Mr. Trary, “though some times made of lead alone, is almost always formed of an alloy of arsenic and lead. The arsenic is introduced in the form of a;*senioua acid or tho sulphuret. The object of the addition of the arsenic is to render the hard, brittle qualities of the lead softer and more ductile, and of the proper consistence to take the globular form. Owing to the rapid de composition of the arsenic it is treated by it self in the bottom of the melting kettle. A cover is placed over tho substance, and its stem, which rises up through the kettle, is fastened down. The lead is then added above tho cover, and when melted the cover is lifted out of the liquid mass, which in stantly becomes permeated with the arsenic beneath. The alloy thus produced contains forty live pounds of arsenic to the ton of leutl, and is known as “temper.* This again is added, in the proportion of 1 per cent., to the pure lead, and thus the shot alloy, con taining a very small percentage of arsenic, is produced. •‘The temper pots hold about a ton of metal each. After the shot has reached the hot tom of the well it is at once lifted out by an elevator and thrown upon an inclined dry ing table, over which they slide, falling finally into a wire gauze rotating cylinder. Then t .ey arc roiled and ground together, and in this way the minute burrs upon them are re moved. From the cylinder another elevator Lilts the shot upon a screening table. This consists of a serious of planes arranged at gradually decreasing heights. Between each two there is an interval. “The shot being started at the head of the highest plane will, if perfect, roll from one plane to another, jumping over the inter mediate spaces. If imperfect, however, it tumbles and goes back to the melting kettle. The good shot, after passing this ordeal, reaches the separators. It should be ex plained that there ura usually several tables, each being devoted to a different size of shot. The little leaden globes ara next elevated to the top cylinder of a. series, arranged on an incline. They .ara conical in form and cov ered with perforated sheet brass. Bach cyl inder serves as a sieve for a particular size of shot, retaining that and allowing all smaller sizes to escape. The shifting goes on until each cylinder has picked out the particular «•lass of shot to which it is adapted. The sizes of shot ara standard. The smallest is known as ‘dust,’ and then comes ‘No. 12.' which is .16 inch in diameter, 2,330 shot going to the ounce.—New York Mail and Express. Lerno txlid Ills Luek.

An Explnuatlon Concerning the Death ltegiftter«""l>euutlrui Ap|M/braiiro of the Ceiuctery-Oraves of the I iihhnt I tied. The R ov . h of Tomhfltones. Let uh turn to tho ranietery. This is situ ated about half n mllo northeast of the station at Andersonville, and comprises al x>ut twenty- four acres of beautifully hndulating grounds, with many natural features not to I k » found in the spot from which wo have just turned. Tho appearance of tho cemetery has I mm ’ h en tirely changed since war days. Then it was but a rude field. The dead were buried in trenches seven fr et wide, four feet doep and from fifty to 150 yards long. No coflins wore used, but tho twisted, emaciated forms of tho dewl prisoners wore laid side by side, ai.d at the head of each was driven a little stake, on which was ¡minted a number corresponding to the number of the body on the rleath regis ter. The cemetery was a direful necessity, and no extra pains were taken with it. Not Ijeforo June, 1865, was any step taken toward inclosing the ground and marking the graves so that they could be identified in the future. A word of explanation respecting the death register is perhaps necessary that the reader may see why only P21 out of 12,793 lack identification. When a prisoner died h» comrades reported to the registrar of the dead, a prisoner appointed for that purpose, near the wicket at the south gate. The registrar recorded tbe name, state, regiment, company, rank and date of death of the dead man and assigned him a number. Thus each corpse was numbere<i, and as they were car ried out in the dead wagon for burial care was taken to inter the bodies in order and mark eac h with a numbered stake. r\Il this was done by prisoners detailed for t hat work, and hence the care that was exercised. IDF-NTTVYING THE GRAVES. Thus, when James B. Moore, assistant quartermaster United States army, was ap pointed to care temporarily for the dead at Andersonville, he hnd no difficulty with the aid of tho registry tlwt had been kept in identifying most of the graves. With a ft.rce of several hundred men he proceeded to lay out walks, fence m the grounds and mark the graves with painted head Iwards. About 120.GM) feet of pine boards were thus used. Of course, some stakes had l»een re moved and some direclrions on the registry were imperfect: but the care that was taken is a credit to those who had the matter in charge. The work then liegun so timely has since been untiringly kept up. The cemetery now pr&KmtR a beautiful appearance. The grounds ara nic?ly laid out and neatly kept. The whole ift inclosed by a brick wall ¿g>u< five and a half feet high, the plainness <Wl>e wall bring relieved by neatly constructed twenty foot panels, which ara supported by squwe pilasters, the pilaster« beingcanded almve tlie top coun» of tSie '.vail. Tlie fine iron gates am always open to visitor«, who flock to the place by Hundreds. From the center of a diamond shaped plat rises a flag stuff on which the stars and stripes ara to lie seen dying from sttlirfoB to sunset, except in inclement weather. Near by stationed a couple of cannon, mounted . hi stone bases. Prom this point radiate four llnelj* kept avenues, about twenty feet wide; parallel rows of largo water oaks east on them an abundant shade; brick gutter? on either side beep them well drained.

Slip Waft Inrlhipil to Stoutni^R— 1 tain l.evtur«—A Good Wife. The private letli i s of the time, and a description here mid h - m action there, taken together. are !h" only innterials for making np the real Martha Washington of the latter put of the last e-ntwry. All ai eonnts agri'ethat she was unil. r mid dle size, anil that, though well I rmwl in her i irly years, she van incllii I to stout ness after her marriage. I don't think her pictures, ns engraved upm the new one dollar silver certificates, give the prop'r idea of her. Tlie l.ist tie re dis played e.vi'leritly represents a very tall woman: and Mr. Audit vs. t!r ,rtist. in his painting of Martha Wa ♦.ington. which hangs as a companion |,i«-ce to Stewart's portrait of Gen. Washington in the East room of tlie White Him-«', cir ri;-« «sit the sama idea. Tlie truth seems to >«e that six» was. in lier hitter days, Short and dumpy rattier than tall and «ymmetrically shaped. A «pier-n is always iieantifnl, no matter what lie her face and figure, and no presi dent's wife was ever anything ehe in tho eyes of tlie throng that went to her recep tions. Tlie mild expraeskim'. of the time concerning Martha Vvsshington's stout ness must l«e multiplied many times to approximate the reality, and short, stout women are seldom «lignified. George Washington was six feet tw«>, an«l rattier thin than fat. Tlie contrast between the sizes of tlie hn«ban«i an«l wife rm «st have tieen very striking. ari«l it is said that Izwly Martha was wont to attract her liege lord's attention by seizing him by the button of his coat, ami looking np into his Geo. Number five is rather a largo shoe fora lady under middle height: still. one of Washington's orders to London for his wife's «applies, given shortly after ho w:» married, inckxies a pair of Mack and a pair of white satin shoos <M the smallest fives, and her gloves were probably of the Martha same generous proportions. Washington had a nose inclinml to the Roman, Flor huir was a chert- nut brown, and her eyes wore c dark hn-zel. A silhomte made of her shortly before her death by her grand daughter. Nellie i'ascis, represents her with a short, fat neck ami an immense cap. It is siml that she hud a very sweet voice, which flowed gently in ordinary conversation, but which became quicker when she grew excited. Miss Bremer, the authoress, tells a «tory of a stranger who, itoing entertained at Mount Vernon, occupied a Iwtraom ad joining that of the general and his wifi'. Th«' partition lira Cw<>en the monvi vras thin, and tile visitor plainly heard Lady Washington giving the general a curtain lecttth'. Mnrth* Washington brought th«' money into the family arid I donl>t not she eometim«'* asked th«' general the same «pie-lion that was thrown at him by Davy Burns, the old Scotch farmer, who owned a large port of th«' land ujxmi which mir national capital is Ituilt.

Tin- Olive. We take the following from n Cnli- fornia exchange The culture of th«- olive is a branch of the frtiif-growing imlnslry which is yet in its infancy on this coast, but we believe that in a few years it will be come on -of the most important as well as profitabl« fields of hortiettl tural enterprises with us, ns it is at present with many countries in the south of Europe, whose chief revenue is derived from tlie export of olive oil and pickled olives The olive tree is distinguished for its great longevity and vitality, A tiee in tlie garden of the Vatican nt Rome is said to be a thounnd years old. Goring (lie (treek revolution th«- Turks cut down the «lire trees and burned over the sumps, witli the result that, thre«« year.« tiiereaftcr, tlie shoots from the scarred stumps commenced to give a crop. it lias generally been supposed that the olive rather prefers a rocky and somewhat barren soil. In Europe it certainly flourishes in places where a cactus would hardly grow, imt Major Utt says it is a great mistake to pre sume that the olive can be grown of» a barren seal without fertilizers. U*e manure liberally, and use it to an ex treme degree, to supplement tho lack of irrigation. The olive ia a voracious feeder, and will appropriate enough plant food during the months of winter moisture to carry tho tree through the dry summer season, provided there is an abundant food supply ready for storage an«l assimilation. The Mission is generally recr>mmonde«I for «lil and the European olive for pickling. Tho ls.tter, also, is preferable for propng.i rien, as the small limb» will servo frit • ittinga, an<l will root whore a M:»-«ion cutting will fail. European olive« will ripen two months in advance «->f the .Mission olives. Tr^s should bo planted in an orchard, anil cuttings in a nursery. Plant not 1er« than thirty six feet apart, or you «’ill rog«ot it in after years ; roinembei1 in plant ing that olive root is more sensitive to exposure than orange.
