' V. -tho pulp yiold is i)y far Mit- greatest The quality of vite pulp, however, is so low that even '.M 1 !<c:'.p i ; v' 1 8 ii Ut not .strong t nougfh to use alono and considerable quantities of longer and stronger fi lled pulp.muat bo added. The woods that are suitable for the manufacture of mechanical pulp are very few in number . Only two or three woods, such as i he long-tibered, light-colored, Mi ? ii r? a i : i >i u balsam and spruces, arc Used now enough to bo considered commercial sources of groundwood Very hard woods, the statement points out, are unsuitably for |ho groundwood processes, because too much power is required to grind them, lhuk-colored woods are not desirable because the color of the wood is di rectly reflected in the color of the pa per. Pitch, knots and decay all cause considerable discoloration and lower the quality of the pulp. The. stronger and. better, grade pa pers arc made of pulps nianufaetur eT by one of three chemical processes sulphite, sulphate or soda. In each of Ihese processes a large portion of the wood known as lignin is removed. This is accomplished by cooking chips of the wood with a chemical under steam pressure in a specially de signed cooker or digester Some classes of book, wrapping, bond ami tissue papers are made largely from sulphite pulp, <ind con siderable sulphite is used in ground wood papers. The sulphite process is a little more expensive than the others, and the pulp yield is only about half as large a:-; in t he ground wood process; but the pulp is very '.Strong and can be bleached t c> a high degree of whiteness. The woods used with the sulphite process are the long libered non-resinous softwoods, such as spruce, balsam and hemlock. The chemical used is calcium ? bisul phite, formed by the action of sulphur dioxide gas on limo. ^ Kraft or "wrapping paper and high test fiber board are made from sul phate pulp, this process being a little less expensive than the sulphite and yielding about the same amount of pulp. The chemical used is a mixture of sodium hydroxide or caustic soda and sodium sulphide . Sulphate J>ulp is usually unbleached, but in paper making experiments at the forest products laboratory it has bean found that it can readily be bleached. This development, it is stated, extends use of the sulphate process and of such woods as the Southern pine to the manufacture of high grade book, mag azine imd writing papers Hooks, lithograph and envelope pa pers are very often made from a mix ture of sulphite pulp and pulp made by the soda process. This mixture gives an opaque, well-felted and well j formed sheet of paper which is high I Iv esteemed by the printer. "Dend" Negro Comes To Life. The dead hns come to life, and Titus Hicks, colored, who "died from the results of wounds on the head sus- 1 tained in a fight with another negro last summer, tc-appeared Monday at | the offices of Swift & Co., where he had been employed, and asked for his '? old job bark. He seems to be as well J as ever although he states that he has I been desperately ill in Richmon 1 j ' win re hi- went after being wounded, j One night last July Titus and an ! other negro got into a fight and Hicks shot the other negro who in turn j broke ofT a knife blade in Titus' head. ! Thinking that he had killed the negro, I Hi(ks left on the first train and went j to Richmond, and the next day man ; agor Tyson of Swift & Co., received a telegram that the negro had died, hut an investigation of the case led itim to believe that the statement was ; incorrect. However, nothing more was heard i from the negro until he showed up on Monday morning and applied for his old job. ? Florence Daily Times.
