and oriuenents -have all been made in

which tho iron la cast
Generally the cost of the patterns is
paid to* oh the Brat order. Subsequent
orders for castings of tbe same patterns
Ore execute^, 'more cheaply became the
pattern* are ready made. Sometimes the
fotmdryowns the patterns and supplies
duplicates to all customers, but in many
cases owners of buildings prefer to own
their own patterns, so that no other
building may look like theirs.
The preservation and duplication of
patterns is a feature and source of great
profit in many manufacturing opera
tions. It is a characteristic of all kinds
of printing. The type founder procures
matrices of various fonts of type at great
cost, but having once secured his mold
he can-go on producing any number of
' duplicates at trifling cost. The first cost
of the mold is the main C06t, compared
with which the cost of metal and casting
is trifling. The same is true of all pro
cessed of printing pictures.
The wood engraving, the lithographic
atone, tbe steel plate, all cost much at
the outset, but, being once produced,
"they may be duplicated by various pro-
. oesses at comparatively trifling cost
Thus a picture may be sold for a profit
at a penny, although to produce the first
one may have cost thousands of dollars.
GOVERNMENTAL PATTERNS.
The application of duplicating proces
ses to the building trade has worked an
industrial revolution. It is true that one
remit is ts produce hnildings much
alike. The designs for doom, windows,
stairways, stoops, vestibules, towers,
locks, , bolts, mantels, sideboards, pier
glasses, cornices, and, in fact, all parts
of a building are used over and over
again, and the cost of building is there
fore mnch cheapened. The fact is that
many parts of buildings may be pur
chased ready made and in any desired
quantities, and buildings constructed of
such material are put np very cheaply.
Gut wben-new designs are needed, odd
shapes, fancy styles, novel' ornamenta
tion, the cost is greatly increased.
Before the war all the paper money in
the United States wa# printed by private
companies, who owned all tbe plates and
patterns. Even tbe United States gov
ernment did not own the plates from
which its notes were printed, and in one
famous caso the counterfeiter, by subter
fuge, procured from them private parties,
for a nominally honest purpose, the use
of the devices used in printing a United
Qtstes treasury note; and the devices
thus fraudulently obtained were actual
ly used to produce a spurious treasury
note, which was in many respects an ex
act duplicate of tbe original. That risk
led to the adoption of a new plan by
which, when the .government got any
notes printed, tbe contractors were com
pelled to surrender all the'designs, pat
terns, die* and pistes naed to produce
the issue, so that they could not by any
possibility be used for any hot legiti-
mite ptupoMSe
Ultimately that led to the establish
ment of the . bureau o( tagraving and
printing, and tbe government now con
trols all the patterns of its paper money I
in the same way that it controls the dies
of its metal coinage. The expense of
steel engruriugJgaogreat,taaiHM^M
by duplicating and using/the HUM de
sign again and again that it is made
profitable to use such beautiful designs
as are need in commercial work, as notes,
bonds, bills of exchange, etc.
. ABOUT DUPLICATES.
The pattern room of a great machine
shop or locomotive works or engine
builder contains the accumulation of
yean of Improvement and invention.
As a machine Is developed and changed
the patterns are altered and used over
and over again. To prodnoe the patterns
new every tune a new machine is wanted
would require great expense. Apmgrtn
a pattern shop is therefore a great calam
ity, far it. destroys patterns that can
hardly be replaced.
It often happens that one spoon or a
fork cf an old set is lost or stolen. If the
silversmith has preserved the die a new
spoon or fork may be made at trifling
cost But if a new die has to be eat, the
expense is very great
5 There are a thousand and one ways of
using the same pattern for duplication
in various branches of industry. The
moat beautiful products of the sculptor’s
art are duplicated In plaster. The mod-
era parlor stove is a marvel of tbe um of
Thn Colored Tnothnrs Moody.
A colored teachers’ institute has been
organized for Sumter county, as was or
dered by the county board of educa
tion.
Miles Barnett su elected president,
Laura A. Powell secretary, and G. W.
F. Phillips treasurer. Officers being
elected, the teacher* who were present
were enrolled as members and a retolu-
it is only Uon was passedaikigg all the teachers
in the county to attend the institute.
Next oams a vote of thank* to the
eonnty board of education for it* kind
ness to the colored teachers, after
wbleh the meeting adjourned to meet at
Phillips’ hall July 18.
ots of things are stamped. All kinds
of brass and tin ware—pots, pans, ket
tles, ash cans, waiters, dishes and the
thousand article* of domestic use that
# are made from metals—go through the
stamping machine. The very best talent
is therefor* Med to produo* tbe original
patterns. Sometimes artists of very high
repute, who would be very much averse
to have it known that they do purely
commercial work, are tempted to fur
nish designs or pictures for advertising
purposes, and occasionally they are so
good that their excellence betrays tho
author.
Stealing patterns is one of tho unpun
ished crimes of the age. When a great
firm of American jewelers showed at tho
Paris exposition ah entirely novel set of
jewelry inado to imitate tho rarest and
most exquisitely formed and colored or
chids, the Frenchmen stole the idea at
once and had copies out in a few weeks.
