“ "A few years ago,” he explains,

. Very Few of Famous Spanish
1 Swords In Existence—How
They Were Made
t .? ' ■v'
The collector of ancient arms who
possesses among hW treasures an old
Spanish blade made in Toledo, may
indeed consider himself fortunate for
there are not many of these famous
blades in existence at this late day.
The celebrity of Toledo blades has
excited the curiosity of many yho
wished to ascertain the cause of their
great excellence and renown. Some
supposed the sword manufacturers
of Toledo possessed a secret Cor
tempering their arms; it was not so, |
however; their only secret being the
waters ot the Tagus and the fine
white sand on its banks. This sand
wai used for cooling the steel. When
the steel was rod hot, and began to j
give forth sparks, it was uncovered ,
a little and sprinkled with sand, and
sent on to the forgers. s As soon as
the blade was ready it was tempered (
tn the following manner; a line of .
fire was made and the blade placed .
in it in buch a manner that only ,
four-fifths of its length should touch
the fire. As soon as the blade was •
red hot it was dropped perpendicu- <
latly into a bucket of Tagus water. ,
When cpld, if it was found to be -
bent, a small portion of sand was <
poured on the yoke, the blade was ’
placed upon it and beaten until
properly straightened.
After this the fifth part of the
blade was fired, and when red-hot
was seized with tongs and rubbed
with suet, which soon began to melt.
> After this the blade was sent to
the grinding stones, and finished by
being polished by wooden wheels
with emery powder.
Charles, the Third, a year after
he became King of Spain, re-estab
lished officially the .manufactory of
arms of Toledo. He placed it-in a
building near the Mirado Alto, and
the works began in 17C1. The king
soon found the building too small
for the purpose and ordered his ar
chitect, Sabatini, to build the pres
ent one, outsidd the town near the
river Tagus, which was finished in
178 S and from this time has been
under the superintendence ot the
Royal Artillery.
Not a single sword-maker existed
in 1760 of any note who was com
petent to be placed at the head of
the works, *and it was found neces
sary to bring a proper person from
Valencia.
Palomares who was present, says:
“As soon as the building-was ready
and disposed for working Luis Cal
isto, a famous sword maker began
to work. Calisto was a native of
Valencia, and more than seventy
years of age when he was ap
pointed. Other artists were chosen
at the' same time by the Director.
In the short space of time in which
that chief master armorer lived, be
made most excellent weapons; he
was most skillful and was probably
-imitated by his successor.

Brothers Take Cqurt Action
To Have Financier Called'
/ Incompetent
NEW YORK, July Bl—Justice
McGoldrick appointed a commis
on July 7, but he was only dr
sion yesterday to sit with a
sheriff's jury to Inquire into the
sanity of John S. Adriance, finan
cier and former chemistry instruc
tor at Williams College.
Mr. Adriance ‘f brothers, Harry
Benson Adriance and Vanderpoel
Adriance, of Williamstown, Mass.,
who petitioned for the inquiry,
said their brother is incompetent
John 8. Adriance, who is sixty
three years old, was committed
Craig House, at Beacon, N. Y.,
on June 16, by Justice Taylor, of
the Supreme Court, in Pough
keepsie.
Mr. Adriance was married in
1810 to Mrs. Mathilda R. Adriance.
They separated in 1911, and Mr.
Adriance created a 1100,000 trust
fund in 1912 to guarantee the pay
ment of |4,600 a year to her un
der a separation agreement.
Mrs. Adriance ?ued last March
to have this agreement annulled,
declaring that |4,600 a year was
not sufficient for her, and not in
keeping with het husband’s for
tune, which, she said, had in-
creased since the agreement was
signed. She charged that her hus-
band had forced her to sign the
agreement.
At the time, Mrs. Adriance was
unable to learn where her husband
was, and she bad to obtain a Su
preme Court order to serve him
by publication. It was said at
the time at his Williamstown
residence that he was ill in New
York, and was not to be disturbed.
