Wonders will never ceaser--not at any rate,
SO long as Yankee genius Hourishes, but as
soon as that shows symptoms Of WEAKNESS,
exhaustion or dissolution, the whole world may
60 into mourning in anticipation or apprehen-
sion of the near approach of that terrible day
which our Millerite friends have SO long been
looking for.
The othsr day we were told that Messrs.
NIXON iS CHArP1ELD, Wholesale Paper Dealers,
Nos. AZ and 20, Walnut street, Cincinnati, had
three machines for making paper bags IN con
slant operation in the uppermost story oil tneir
extensive business premises. This Information
having excited our curiosity, We went down 70
see for ourselves. And "sure enough there
they we're in full blast, unrolling the paper,
then folding it, next cutting It, after ihst
pasting the bags, pressing them when pasteS'
drying them, and finally, politely and quietly
delivering them into the hands Of young
woman, who was seated at the point Of egress.
Having looked on in mute admiration for
short time, we turned to Mr.. Chatfeld-who
politely accompanied us for the purpose Of an
swering such questions ss we might ask, when
he kindly gave us the following information ;
Machines for making paper bags have
been In use in the East for about two years,
and have given general satisfaction; but
those at Messrs. Nixon g. Chatfeld'S are the
frst ever introduced into the West.
The three machines, at the above estab-
lishment, are kept in motion by one Of Lat
ta's upright engines of six-horse power
They are managed by five persons, viz; en-
gineer, engineers assistant, and three girls.
Though capable of turning off larger num-
ber, if worked TO their utmost limit OF speed,
the proprietOrs are content with the almost
incredible number of $4,000 bags day
being an average of 10000 from each ma
chine. -...,,. - -Ifr..
The paper used in the making Of these bags
is manufactured expressly for the purpose,
and is forwarded to Messrs. Nixon Il Chat
field, on rollers, from which it is wound of
by the action of the machine. Having ex-
amined the paper closely, we expressed our
surprise to Mr.. Chatfield that such superior
paper should be required for the temporary
purposes to which paper bags are usually
devoted. That gentleman replied that they
preferred paying 10 per cent. more for good
paper--paper without flaws or holes, rather
than save little on present outlay, at the
risk of causing dissatisfaction TO their hume
rous customers.
The machines occupy, in Width, but very lit
tic space; but they are considerable in length
At one extremity of the machine the rollei
containing the paper is placed, the end o
which being laid on the revolving band, ant
the machine set in motion, the paper is passed
quickly over the "former," by which it is fold
ed, and in this state moves onward to the knif'
which cuts it the adjusted length Of thu
bags, after which the bags pass on to the plac'
where they are pasted. They are then carried
by the band, over large hollow wheel, KEEP
hot by steam transmitted to it from the engine
by which they are dried first, and then dis
charged into the hands of the person appointed
to take them off the machine.
Our involuntary exclamation was, on be
holding the machine-"What next ?"
Something New.--In passing the nea
