THE MANUFACTURE OF ENvEL

THE MANUFACTURE OF ENVELOPES FOR LETTERS.
The recent change in the post office regulations
has enabled letter writers to make OF the desir-
able facility and guard of an envelope, 1t may seem
little thing to manufacture this article, but the
contrary, the machine employed is of the most com
pick and ingenious character, and the various stage
Of the operation are highly interesting.
We had the pleasure of spending an hour or tw,
recently in the establishment of Messrs. Colnan $
Jones, South Fifth-street, and of viewing the pro-
through which the paper passes before being
converted into its destined form. The manufacture
is yet in its infancy and all Its departments have
scarcely yet been fully organized but they will be
completed in short time, and then it will be- per-
haps, the most extensive establishment in the cour-
try. But four folding machines, and one cutting
press, were in operation while we We're present; yet
from the rapdity with which they turned out the
finished envelopes, could easily conjecture, that
when all the Contemplated improvements com
pleted, the daily manufacture vii! be immense
A pile of paper is first laid under the cutting
press and the flat forms of the envelope cut out
at once. These are then taken to the folding ma
chine, which IS Of the most singularly construct
ed and beautiful pieces of mechanism we have ever
1t requires but one person to feed it, and r.
forms all the rest Of the operations itself; for the
paper, cut in proper form, being placed in fixed
position, is seized by nippers, and drawn forward to
a bed, where it is held firmly by overhanging
plate of metal, which covers Just much as marks
the size intended to be made, leaving the parts to
be tolden loose. The sides then, by means
OF plates advancing toward each other, folded over,
and they retire, roller covered with gum passes
under the surface Of double curved piece of brass,
which instantly falls upon the paper, and, it rises,
another plate turns the outside fold, while, at
the time, roller presses on it and causes ad-
hesion. This being done, the bed which the en-
veope rests falls to inclined position, and being
caught between rollers, the finished article is passed
through trough into receiving basket. The
only remaining labor is to gather the envelopes up,
and sort them into packages Of twenty-five each.
The whole is done with great rapidity, and va
rious and contrary the motions of the machine,
that it appears almost to be, in degree, SEN

school at this University on account of its grc,t
fame, and meant to spare no pains or labcr in
getting through his studies as quickly az possible.
In this way he ran on long time; and when st
last he came to a stop, the holy man, who had
been listening to him with great patience AM

"And then" repeated Philippe.
"And then, said the student, "and then shall
