finished size of the wire, and, as a rule, the sharp corners of the wire are only given by the last draw. It is found that chaiderable wear takes place in the holes of the draw-plate, and new plate may be required for each bank of 50 or 600 yards of wire. Great importarce is attached to the absence of scale from the wire when it is being drawn, and after pickling, they you have mentioned, not on the strength rolled bar and wire, are treated with lime or of your circumstantial evidence, but plum dead some similar substanice to facilitate the draw against it. Am I right?"

We agreed.-Ex. ing. The tests for the finished wire are as follows:-It has to stand a tenisile stress of from 91 to 10 tons per square inch of section, * and a test for duculity, in which a short length of the wire is twisted a considerable number of turns in one direction, then unwound, and retwisted in the opposite direction without showing signs of fracture. It will be seen that the wire is extremely strong, and the moderate stress of from 25 to 30 tons per I square inch which at most it is called upon to withstand in a gun, is far less than it could endure with perfect safety,
