Bullet-making machine.

--A new bullet-making machine was tried in San Antonio, Texas, recently, with great success. It works by steam. A description of the experiment says:

‘ There seems to be no limit to the member of bullets it is capable of turning out per minute as one is made at every revolution of the dies. Sixty per minute were made with but a small pressure of steam, while with more force over 100 were produced. The bullets made by the machine are a very superior article of Minie bullets, being compressed, solid and of perfect shape. Any kind of bullet can be made by changing the dies.
