log. The raau who is tliero at thai
hour may see a log aliced into boards
.and laths quicker than ho had ever
dreamed was possible, unless he huh
rubbed saw-duet out of his eyes on the
Menominee River.
"Visitors to the saw-mill ascend the
narrow stairs expecting to 6ce a huge
circular saw crunching its way through
a log. lie doca not. know that th<
days of circular eawa are numbered,
and in this ngo that boards are cut by
baud anws, until lie sees the shining
belt of toothed steel cutting through
the log at the rate of 10,0(10 feet .1
minute as the carriage moves forward.
As he follows the process ho notices
that the wood is only handled by 0
man from the tiino that the log itplaced
at the foot of the haul-up nuti 1
tlin -I .
the floor.
Steam, iron and steel have supplanted
hands iu tlic saw-mills of today.
The log ia brought up on an
endless ohaiu from the ground, which
represents the pond level. Ah it comes
to the head of the haul-up it strikes u
bumper which, by means of a lever,
turns stenm into the cylinder of the
' dipper,'' which automatically throws
the heavy chunk of wood to the
"deck." an inclined platform down
which the log rolls against a steam
"log Mop." Sawyer Finnegan has his
eye upon it and as it lands against the
r.top ho puts his foot upon a small
treadle and the steam fairly hurls it to
the carriage. Finucgon then moves a
lever nud up from below a huge b ir ol
steel with movable teeth on it springe
into view. It is the steatn "nigger"
which drives its fatign into the log nud
turns it until it is properly placed foi
the saw.
The Better. Norman Watson, is on
the carriage on the otlmr side of tin
log. His duty is to manage tlm "feed"
each time so as to get the proper
thickness of the board. Few persons
entertain eveq n lurking aspiration for
his position after they have aeon liim
jerked forward and back before the
band saw >< dozen times.

The log ih scared* M-t before the lawyer,
who Mauds beside the saw, pulls a
perpendiculm lever. The Hotter on

grip ou liiii levers nxi?l rod**, and,

n fifth of h second it spring* upon flie
mw sgnin. and while the "zip" is Mill
ringing in the ear tlic carriage returns
again This thiug is repeated until the
fog is cut up.
A% the carriage stops visitors e.izo
upon \\ atson. the setter, w ith great
admiration and wonder how he maintains
hiH place. Tlie carriage is operated
by a steam feed as it is culled.
A cylinder thirty-two leet long and
rune inches in diameter lies on the
floor. Front it projects a piston rod
w hich is connected with the carriage.
Quick-acting valvea at each cud of the
cylinder operated by a lever in the
6uwyer'a hand admit steam at high
pressure through a three-inch opening.
In tliia way the carriage is moved
forward and backward and can be
stopped instantly at any point by u
slight movement of th?? lever. The
carriage moves on truck wheels which
rest on steel rails. As it returns to its
starting point it also moves sideways
away from the saw blade live-eighths
of an inch. This "off-set" gets rid of
any danger from slivers striking the
blade. The carriage movea thirty feet
each time, or sixty fool a round trip.
If the null mi. ton hour.< the carriage
would travel neventy miles, carrying
log* up ami down the trunk.
The band saw hat a twelve-Inch
blade which would stretch out fortyeight
f<jet if cut. It travola over two
eight-foot pulley* nt the rate of 10,(XM)
feet n minute or 410 luilen nn hour.
Just above the log it stream of water
fall* on each aide of the blade for ticpurpose
of keeping the saw from bocoining
hot.
The first cut from the log makes a
"slab." It drop* to a table in wliioh
aro tlvc moving roller* that carry it
forward until the slab hits a slop.
Transfer chairs, moving nt right
angle*, carry the slab from the table
under a "gang" of forty-two-inch circular
mwh placed four feet apart, so
that tho slab in cut into four-foot
length*. This gang of sawa ia called
the "slasher." The cut slab* fall <nto
a chain conveyer, which takea theni to
a teu*aw "laibbolter," which cut* the
sections into one mi l one-half iuch
strip*- from the bolter the atrijn
I
pas* to a gang lath mill, which cuts
four laths i?t oucc, ami from tlicro to
the lath binder, whore thy buit'llca are
tied by hand. Those are placed in a
bundle and lath-trimmer and cut into
any length from four feet to six
inches.
While the slabs are moving to the
right into the lath mnohinery the
boards are sent to the left. Rudolph
Mintz, the "edger-inan," takes them
ns they fall upon the table and riuu
theui through an adjustable edger
which has four sawB on one side for
edging and ten saws on the other aido
placed one inch apart for making
ilooriug. A "cent," which is a atiok
of timber six inches thick and fourteen
inches wide, is run through the
ten saws nud comes out eleven strips
of flooring six inches wide and one
iuch thick. The board? are passed
through the other side of the edger,
and, without loss of time, go over a
roll to a train of chain carriers ranuiug
to tho left. The clinins take tlio
boards to tuo trimmer,"* where
Trimmer Steadnian cuts thorn into
ten, twelve, fourteen and sixteen-foot
lengths by simply pressing down foot
pedals.
"This is a model mill,** said H. II.
Mitchell the millwright, who put it up.
"We would like to operate it all day
long, for a saw-mill seems to be a novelty
to a majority of the visitors who
come here. We could cut up a big
pile of logs in a day. Finnegan lias a
record of Hiabbiug 1050 logs in a rua
of ten hours, and that is a lot of lu?al*er."
At the Centennial all the saw-mill
machinery was of tho circular suw
order, with one exception. W. L.
Covel, who lias been in tho saw-mill
business ever since he was able to file
a buck-saw, spoke of the exception as
the beginning of the change in the
form of saws.
"The first band saw," said Mr. Covel,
"was a little one, with a 1}-inch biade,
and about ten feet long, made in France
about twouty-tivo years ago. It attracted
little attention. Hut an old
uian, in America, came to the Centennial
with the tirst bundsaw I ever saw.
It was a large mill, with a 12-inch
blade, with the pulleys so arranged
I lint it would out tit auy initio. Hawmill
men regarded it with nstouiahmout,
but it fnilcd to do ita work iu
kuoIi n wuy n% to compete successfully
with the circular saw. Manufacturers,
however, examined it closely, saw its
wesk points and went home to improve
on it. About n year after the
Centennial 1 heard of a band new at
South Bend, Ind., that could cut
18,000 feet of whito aah iu teg hours.
That woe looked upon as wonderful.
A few days ago. in the State of Washington.
a band saw turned out 103,490
feet of boards, eighty-five per cent, ol
them one inch thick, in twelve hours.
" Hi is astoniabing increase in capacity
i* entirely due to improved
method* in manufacture. Tlicoiiginal
band snwH were made, fitted, sharpened
and turned by hand. Now all that in
done automatically by machinery. The
earlier blades hardly had two teeth
alike, all varied one way or the other,
but even then makers aaw that the cir
culnrn were out of (late. Tliey soon
found that it was necessary for all the
teeth to be alike and that tho bla t?
must be loosened in the center by hammering
it ho hh to make it spread.
1*Inc makes the C(lgca run straight over
the pulleys and given a straight cut.
Then they found that their milln wero
too likbt, so built them heavier, and
now baud-naws are used in every large
and modern mill except a few in tho
South."?Chicago Record.
