MANUFACTURE OF PAPER. Scientific American. Prominent among the greater in dustries of he United States, which have grown to large proportions during the % past twenty-five years, is that which is devoted to the manufacture ef paper. At a recent meeting of the American Paper Manufacturers' Asso ciation the president stated that the association was formed about eighteen years ago, and that the paper business had since taken on a rapid growth. At the time the manufacture of. paper in the United States had grown to such an extent after the war that the capacity of the mills in 1878 in the production of paper amounted to nearly 3,000 tons of product per day. To day the capacity of the mill product in this country is about 12,000 tons per day. The general public has little idea of the size and cost of an average paper mill. The finished product, as we see it in our books and our daily newspa per, is so familiar, and the materials of which it is popularly supposed to be made are so cheap, and for most . ether purposes worthless, that to many it will be a surprise to learn that an average paper mill costs from $1,000, 000 to $3,000,000 to build and equip. It is capable of turning out some 40 tons of paper per day, and to ran the machinery requires boilers and engines of not less than 3,000 horse-power. For washing the pulp, etc., there will be required 4,000,000 gallons of water per day, or enough to supply a city of 50,000 inhabitants, a?d the whole of that supply must be filtered by the most approved modern processes. The manufacture of the paper may be broadly separated into two pro cesses, consisting, first, in the prepar ation of the pulp, and secondly, in the formation of the paper from the pulp. I. The Preparation of the Pulp.? ^Fhe popular idea that paper is made from rags is true only of fine writing paper, which is made entirely from .^this material ; but newspapers and most book papers are made entirely from wood. The better class of book paper is made from wood and a small percentage of rag. There are two kinds of wood pulp. 1. Ground or Mechanical Wood Pulp.?This is made by grinding the ends of spruce wood logs against re Tolving emery wheels. Shis is done under water, and the result is a finely divided wet sawdust. The wood re tains all its natural gums and acids and has no fiber. It must be used with some more fibrous material, such as chemical wood pulp. This is the cheapest form of pulp, and it is there fore only used for newspapers and so called manila wrappings. 2. Chemical Wood Pulp is made from spruce or poplar. The timber comes to the mill in barked logs, which are four feet long, and have had all the knots carefully bored out. The logs are fed into a "chipper,"' in which the knives are arranged at an angle of 45 degrees to the center line of the machine. These knives cut the logs diagonally to the grain into "chips" which arc half an inch long. The chips are conveyed to "digesters," which are upright cylinders 7 or 8 feet in diameter and 30 feet long. If spruce wood chips are being used. 4hey are treated by the acid process, the digesters being lined with acid proof brick. The acid liquor is ob tained by mechanically combining sul phurous acid gas with milk of lime, and forming a bisulphite of lime. Hie digesters are filled with chips and liquor in proper proportions, and are tfeen hermetically sealed.' Live steam is introduced, and the chips are boiled for eight hours under a pressureof 110 pounds to the square inch. If the chips are made from poplar, the process is the same, except that the liquid is made from caustic soda ash and water. After the boiling is completed, the contents of the digesters are blown out into a receiver, where it presents the appearance of a mass of soft pulp. The liquor is then washed out ; and after the pulp has been bleached, it so closely resembles the rag pulp, which is used in the manufacture of fine book paper and writing paper, that only an expert can tell the differ ence, both being a pure vegetable cellulose. The pulp is now subjected to a process of beating and macerat ing, to reduce it to the proper con sistency ; and at this stage coloring may be added to give any desired shade. A certain amount of sizing is ajgo introduced?the sizing being made from resin "cut"' with soda ash?for the purpese of giving impermeability to moisture and a firm surface ; other wise the product would be a simple blotting paper. The pulp is now ready to go to the paper machine. It should be noted here that newspaper pulp is formed of 80 per cent ground pulp aud 20 per cent chemical pulp. Book paper is formed entirely of chemical pulp. II. The Paper Machine. If he bear in mind the frail nature of the article which it is designed to handle, tin visitor to a paper mill will be aston- ] ished at the great size and weight and j the massive strength of a paper mill. At first sight, the massive cast iron and steel frame, from eight to ten feet I wide, and from one hundred and fifty [ to one hundred aud seventy-live feet long, appears to be better fitted to manufacture iron and steel than to handle the thin, milky fluid which stands ready for manipulation at the upper cod of the machine. The wet j pulp, of which 95 per cent is water, first passes through a screen, where it is cleaned. It then flows into a vat, at the further edge of which is pro vided an outflow, which consists of a I true, level, edge or lip which forms a kind of weir, over which a broad, thin stream of pulp flows onto the paper machine proper. This stream is the full width of the machine, and its depth has to be kept perfectly true and even throughout. The pulp falls onto what is flnown as theFourdainier wire. This is an endless wire cloth, seventy meshes to the inch, which is the full width of the machine, and travels continuously over a set of parallel rolls, passing around an end "couch roll," and returning again under the. machine. In addition to its forward motion, this wire cloth or screen has a lateral rocking motion j across the machine. As the pulp flows onto this wire a lare portion of the water, assisted by the shaking, strains through and passes away, leav ing a thin film of pulp, which is the future sheet of paper. This film is picked up off the "couoh roll" by an endless woolen felt, which carries the wet sheet between several gun metal "squeeze rolls" or "press rods," which force out a sufficient amount of water for the sheet to be able to sus tain its own weight. At this peint the sheet is trans ferred to an endless cotton felt, which supports it while they both pass over and around a dozen or more driers, which are hollow cylinders 3 feet in diameter and extending the full width of the machine, through which a con stant flow of live steam is maintained. These thoroughly dry out the paper. At this stage of the process the sheet is rough and uneven, presenting very much the appearance of a sheet of paper that has been wetted and allowed to dry out again. It now has to be irened out, as it were, and the desired finish imparted to its surface. For this purpose it is passed through the calenders, which consist of two verical standards which carry usually 11 superimposed chilled steel rolls of the very highest possible polish. The paper is inserted between the upper two "and passes down through the whole set, the desired pressure being obtained by means of powerful screws. This process is repeated in a second stack of rolls, after which the finished paper is wound into a large roll. It is then passed through the cutters and cut to the required width and length. If a highly finished surface is desir ed, the paper is passed through what are known as super-calenders, which consist of 7 rolls, 4 of chilled steel and 4 of pressed paper, arranged alter nately, the combination of the two materials in the rolls giving a high finish. The whole machine is run at a very high speed, 300 to 350 feet per minute being common. There arc some machines that run the paper out at the rate of 400 feet per minute, or between 4 and 5 miles per hour, and such a machine will frequentiy run an entire day without a break in the paper. These speeds are only possible in the manufacture of common newspa per. In making the finer grade of paper, with high finish, such for in stance as is used for the Scientific American, the mill can only be run at I about one-half the above speed. The whole machine has to be ad justed with the greatest earc and nicety. It runs at so high a speed, and the material upon which it oper ates is so frail, that any unevenness in the rolls, or an irregularity in the speed of any particular part of the machine, would break the sheet, and throw the work into confusion. The following material is consumed every month in a paper mill of 40 tons per day, or 1.000 tons per month ca pacity : Coal. 15 tens. Wood. 2.432 cords. Bleaching powder Ohlor ide of lime). 1-42 tons. Sulphur. 77 ;< Lime (milk of lime). 57 " Resin (sizing). 17'. !1 Soda ash. 125 " English clay. 200 " Many a paper mill is run continu ously from 12 p. m. Sunday night un til 12 p. m. on the next Saturday, two sets of operatives being employed. From the time the log of weod is put into the chipper to the time the paper is cut up into sheets", the material is never handled, but passes through a continuous mechanical process. - ? .? ?

A Walker county preacher, who farms for a living, has been growing in popularity as a performer of mar riage ceremonies for some time, and recently he found that the demands thus made upon his time seriously in terrupted his farm work, and, as the marrying business brought no pay. he set about to devise some means to es cape the interruptions it imposed. He wrote his ceremony on a sheet of foolscap paper and nailed it on his gate post with the following instruc tions underneath : "If anybody wants to get married they can just drive up here aqd read the ceremony, lay the license on the gate post and drive off.

Man With Two Hearts. Towaxpa, Pa., Jan. 25.?A colored man giving his name as "Dr. William King" has been mystifying local doc tors during the past week. He en joys the distiction of having two hearts, which he can control in their positions and beats at will. During the past week he has been examined by several Bradford County doctors and they have been non plussed. King carries a certificate from a Philadelphia medical college, j stating that he has been operated up on by physicians to determine the freak nature of his heart, and big scars across his body are a further testimony of his truthfulness. Ap parently King has two sets of ribs, one outside and overlapping the other, and by stroking his chest and by mus cular contortions one set of ribs can be drawn down to cover his stomach. His two hearts, one on each side, can be plainly felt to beat. Listening to the right heart and with a hand on the left pulse the observer is startled to have the pulse and heart beats con tinue, yet such is the case. The Bishop's Conundrum. Bishop Richard Hooker Wilmer, of j Alabama, once went to New York in the interest of a Confederate orphan age. He met many Union friends, and was dined. A story was expected of him, but he declined, saying he had none, but would offer a conundrum: " Why are we Southerners like Laza rus?' There was guessing on all sides of the table, such as "Because you are poor," "Because you eat the crumbs from the rich man's table," etc. "We're like Lazarus," said the Bishop, smiling blandly, "because we've been licked by dogs." One of the Bishop's charms is his unreconstructedness, and every man at the table laughed except one who indignantly exclaimed: I "Well, sir, if you think we're dogs, why in blazes have you come up here to beg for our money?" With a wink at the rest of his hosts, the Bishep replied: "My friend, the hair of the dog is good for the bite. That's why I've come." mm ? * ? If any part of the body is heated more than the rest by overdressing it, or from any other cause, an undue flow of blood sots in toward that part, often resulting in chronic inflamma tion. I once knew of a fatal case of kidney disease developed by working at a desk with the back near a heated stove. Similar effects are produced by having one part of the body more warmly clothed than the rest. Many a sore throat arises from the tippet worn by children, harm resulting both from overheating the throat when on, and from the sudden cooling off when I it is taken off. We are anxious to do a little good in tIiis world ami can think of no pleasanter or i otter way to do it than by recom mending One Minute Cough Cure as a preventive of pneumonia, consumption and other serious lung troubles that fol low neglected colds.
