bed as usual, studying and studying,
and at length 1 went to sleep, and that
night il came to me as clear as a bell.
l thought IL all out before l woke up,
just as naturally as though | had been
picking away at millstone."
"What did you do when you wokeP"
al said, Il have it at last. I've
something now that beat the friction.
I've something that will make more
furrow than land Millers will under
stand that expression. Invent to Sena-
tor Isaac M. Barrett of Greene County,
Ohio, a Quaker, and told him / had
something that would give him all the
middlings he wanted now, and would
improve his flour from fifty cents to a
dollar barrel He owned the Spring
Valley mills, and he told me to 90 to
work and renovate his whole mill on
my principle. l did so, and the first
shipment of flour to Baltimore after
that was of one hundred barrels, eighty
of my new process and twenty of the
old. They sold the new at one dollar
barrel more than the old would bring
al wanted to get more indentation,
more burrows. No, my process isn't
cold blast on Minnesota flour, or any
thing of that sort. use diamond quartz
in the face of the stone, instead of the
mill pick. That's it in u nutshell. The
rubbing of the sharp diamond quartz
on the stone makes the indentations;
and the middlings escapes through the
indentations, instead of having its life
crushed out. 1t costs nearly ono-third
less than the old method of picking,
and it makes as good flour out of No.
wheat as can be made out of No. by
the old way. The only secret about it
is how the diamond quartz is applied.
| have put my improvement in few
mills in this country. Penfeld a. Lyons
and Darston & Royce, and Doolittle,
Ames IL Co., of Oswego, and a firm in
Buffalo, and few others have it. l
took about $100,000 in this country be-
fore l met Mr.. Appleby of Appleby &
Sons of Blackburn, England. He was
visiting in this country and heard of
my process. He wanted me to 90 over
and put it in for him. l did so last
July, and that started the ball in the old
country. | sold Lincolnshire to Mar
shall q Sons of Grimsby for E14,O0O,
the neat little sum of 5,000-that is,
l sold it as agent for my wife, Mrs.
Elizabeth Jones, who owns the whole
thing. l sold the town of Hull for
$4,000; sold to Davis & Sons at New
castle-on-Tyne four counties for ST.
500. Davis & Sons turn out more flour
than any firm in Great Britain, and
they use my method. They paid me
for the use of their Phoenix mill alone
$4,000. | sold Penzance in Cornwall
on-the-Sea for 1900. Three milling
firms in Liverpool have it, and they
have it in Fordingbridge and Dover,
and Kent and Birkenhead, all to the
tune of a million and quarter
Here Mrs. Jones announced that the
mail had come in. Here's letter
for you from Glasgow" she said.
"Glasgown' said Mr.. Jones, that's
what I've been waiting for! 1t is from
my agent" and Mr.. Jones read:
26 QUEEN BUILDINGS, DALE STREET,
LIVERPOOL, May 4. {
Mr.. =, of Glasgow, offers SS0,000 and have
accepted.
"That's a fair sum-" he added.
1.-The last day was in London l made
one sale of 1900. Yes, [ went to
Ireland, and the Shackletons took it.
Thos. Lester & Sons, Quaker Millers OF
Liverpool, say am benefactor to the
human race, and they have proposed
the very absurd thing of erecting a
monument in my honor"
"How about the future, Mr.. Jonesp'
81 don't propose to sell much in the
United States now. l can't bother with
this country! L am here to improve my
patents, and the work is being mainly
done in Utica and Rochester. The
Munson Brothers in the former city are
preparing my machinery, and expect
to sail for Liverpool a week from Satur
day. l shall go through France ant
Germany. tell you, sir, there's mill
ions more in it than I've yet got."-
