The, present mode of separating the leaves is this :—Pi;*ces of gold-beaters skin are attached t'J the upper leaf, by an izinglass paste ; small cords attach these pieces of skiu to wooden screws above ; and, then,by turning the screws, the upper leaf is gradually drawn from fUe mass. This is a clumsy operation ; and commonly mutilates or destroys three fourths of the leaves.
