Paper Barreis cheaper Than wooden
HarFels

A firm at Syracuse, New York, are
now manufacturing novel flour bar.
rel. Inc barrels are composed OF
straw paper pulp, which is run into a
mold made In the shape OF one.half
OF barrel cut vertically. The pulp IL
subjected to n powerful hydraulic pres.
sure, and when rednced to the required
thickness, the ends Of the halves are
cut of at the ends. The piec,s are
then placed In steam drier, and
the sides trimmed evenly and the
substance thoroughly dried. IL comes
from the drier ready for max.
Ing up Into barrels. There are
three heavy wooden hoops and
two hoops fastened together, and into
grooves cut into the slaves the paper
halves, which have an average thick.
ness OF three-sixteenth OF an inch, are
slid. The ends of the barrels are made
Of paper Of similar thickness, con.
structed upon the same principles az
the slides, and protected by heavy
wooden ones. The advantages Of these
barrels over wooden ones are light
ness, cheapness durability, aud the
prevention Of flour sitting out while
In transit. They are constructed en-
tirely by machinery, and the. halves
are cut 30 true that any pieces of the
same size will readily tit together.

ton manufacturer, and paid a specially
high price, on the condition that they
should be badly made--so as not to
burst that, the order completed, the
Russians made the shells present to
the manufacturer, with the stipulation
that he should sell them to the Turks /;
that he did so sell them, and that these
identical shells are now being used by
the Turks against the Russians, and OF
course are quite harmless. If this were
true it would he cited in all coming
