These barrels are for sporting guns, and the Industry is many years old, the workmen in the villages in the valley being almost all grun barael makers and the trade descending from father to bod.

The best barrels are a combination of tha led primary BUtanccat welded' and forged by the martekge a froid process. The steel comes from Westphalia the iron is manufactured, at Couvin, in Belgium the coal, which is specially suited for the work, from the Ilerve highlands, in Belgium, while the motive power of the factories is obtained from the river Vesdre. The industry has increased greatly in recent years. These armes de luxe, as they are called, are made by men working in pairs, each pair in its own little factory, quite independent of all others. They are paid by the piece, the wages being good, and about 2,000 men are engaged on the work in the valley.

Medium quality barrels are made of coke iron and steel. While the superior quality, which are produced in the Vesdre valley, are made of charcoal iron and steeL An ingenious "marriage" of these metals gives a composition which, when manufactured. guarantees the required solidity and re sistance. The improvement la these damascus barrels dates from the introduction of precussion caps in place of the old flint lock. Formerly iron barrels alone were produced.

Now. to manufacture the curled damascus, the ingot is composed of SO sheets of iron and steel, each hav ing a thickness of four millimeters, which are enveloped in a sheet iron box, placed in an oven and welded together at the lowest possible temperature. Each barrel receives 150 welding beats while being forged, and if a single one of these is unsuccessful the barrel may be a fail ure, either by alteration of the damascened work or an imperfection in the welding. There is no official test of these armes de luxe, but they are thoroughly tested by the manufacturers before delivery. The annual production of damascus bar-1 re Is in the Vesdre valley is about 300.

000 pairs, of a value of about 3,500,000 francs. Of this the wages alone for all the guns are handmade amount to about 2,000,000 francs. The principal markets are Great Britain and the United States, About half the barrels made in tho Vesdre valley are sold to manufacturers of arms in Liege to be mounted. New York Times. MRS.

"New York Correspondent Tooft-h Job For Small Men. The occupation of a boiler inspector is one in which a man cannot grow fat without losinar his lob. and Derbane is a funny business in that respect Each boiler inspected is drained of its contents, and then the inspector rigs him-S3lf for a dirty job and wriggles himself into the inside of it through the manhole.

But though that fact may be funny, the business itself, getting into dirty and stiffing places and wriggling like a human worm into every hole and corner to know its real condition, is anything but fun.
