POSTAGE STAMPS.
fScientific Americana


The number Of ordinary postage stamps
issued in 1881 was 954. l2S, ,44O, and the
value S24, ,O4O, ,643. The mothod of print
ing postage stamps is as follows: The
printing is done from steel plates, on
which 200 stamps are engraved, and the
paper used is Of peculiar texture, some
what resembling that employed for bank
notes. Two men cover the plates with
the colored inks and pass them to man
and girl, who print them with large
rolling hand-presses. Three of these lit
tie squads are employed all the time, al
though ten can be in operation if neces-
sary. = The colors used in the inks are
ultramarine blue, Prassian blue, chrome
yellow and Prussian blue (green), ver-
million and earmine.
After the sheets of paper on which the
200 stamps ere engraved have been dried,
they are sent into another room and gum
med. The gum is made of the powder Of
dried potatoes and other vegetables,
mixed with water. Gum arabic is not
desirable because it cracks the paper
badly. The sheets are gummed separate
ly. They are placed back upward upon
a flat wooden support, the edges being
protected by metallic frame, and the
gum is applied by a wide brush. After
having been again dried, this time on lit
tie racks, which are famed by steam
power for about an hour, they are put in
between sheets of pasteboard and pressed
between hydraulic presses capable of ap.
plying weight of 1000 tons.
The sheets are next cut in halves, each
sheet, of course, containing 100 stamps
This is done by girl with large pair Of
shears, cutting by hand being preferred
to that of machinery, which method
would destroy too many stamps. They
are then passed to the perforating ma
chine. The perforations between the
stamps are effected by passing the sheets
between two cylinders provided with a
series of raised bands, which are adjusted
to distance apart equal to that required
between the rows of perforations. Each
ring ON the upper cylinder has series Of
cylindrical projections which fit cor
responding deprcssions in the bands Of
the lower cylinder; by these the perfora.
tions are punched out, and by simple
contrivance the sheet is detached from
the cylinders, in which it has been con.
Quoted by an endless band. The rows
running longitudinally of the paper are
first made, and then by similar ma
chine the transverse ones. This perfor
ating machine was invented and patented
by Mr.. Arthur in 1852, and was pur
chased by the Government for $40, 900
The sheets are next dressed once more
and then packed and labeled and storet
in another room, preparatory to bein!
put up in mail bags for dispatching t,
fulfill orders. If a single stamp is in an,
way mutilated the whole sheet of 100 i
burned. Five thousand are burned ever,
week from this cause. The sheets ar
counted no less than eleven times durin
the process of manufacturing, and 8
great is the care taken in counting tina
not single sheet has been lost durin
the past twenty years.

A MAN OF sTRENG TIL.

A dispatch from Seymour, Ind, says:
William HooS, vo;,l voo;nlored. was buried at
Cranes graveyard, few miles west of
this city, the other day. Bill Hood, was
few years since, man of remarkable
strength-a physical giant. Hood once
resided in cabin near this city, and
worked as an ox-driver. He would lift
bodily one end of a saw-log that was six
teen feet in length and two feet in
diameter, and load it upon his wagon.
He would handle dozen ordinary men
as if they were playthings, and your cor
respondent is informed that on one oc-
casion an infuriated OK attempted to
gore him, when he grabbed the animal
by the horns and held him until yoke
was put upon his neck. He was mer-
ciless man, and would sometimes knock
an OK down at one blow with his fist.
About thirty years ago he lived in
Madison, where he got on a spree, raised
a racket, and "cleaned out" all the
pugilists in the place, but was himself
seriously hurt and left in quarry for
dead, with great stones piled upon his
body. He rallied, raised the rocks, and
resumed work in few days. When an
attempt was subsequently made to arrest
him, he assailed the officers, who soon
retreated, glad to get out of reach of the
human threshing machine. 1t is said
that on one occasion five men, with hand
spikes, were trying to up-end a rock,
when he laughingly approached, and,
unassisted, raised the rock until wagon
was backed against it, when he showed it
into position for hauling while the crowd
stood by in amazement. In the days
when there was "no bottom" to the
roads leading from Madison, Hood was
one of the several teamsters engaged to
move saw-mill from that place to Jen-
nings county. He was in the rear, and
heavily loaded with an iron shaft. Those
who had gone before double.teamed up
hill, and took their teams back to help
pull Hoods load up. They were almost
paralyzed at meeting him almost half
way up the hill, walking by his team
with the shaft on his shoulder, which he
carried to the top of the hill and replaced
upon the wagon. Arriving at the desti-
nation crowd congregated, when Hoods
feat was told. A muscular man present
said he could lift as much as Hood. He
tried to lift the shaft, failed, and swore
Hood did not carry it, as stated, and
that no living man could do so; where.
upon, with apparent ease, the dusky man
shouldered the shaft, carried it to the
building, and placed it in position. The
other strong man shook hands, congratu
lated the giant, and subsidized.
Citizens of Seymour and Madison will
vouch for many other miraculous feats o.
Bill Hood. But enough has been related
to show how great was his strength. HI
was six feet high, and weighed about 20t
pounds when in his prime. Forsevera
years previous to his death he was broker
in health, a wreck Of his former self, a,
object Of charity. He died in miser,
and object poverty, having endured
great privations, at the age of 70 years.

QUITE a commotion was excited
In the Board of Supervisors yester.
day by the receipt of commune
cation from County Recorder Lamb
declining to pay over to the Coun.
ty Treasurer the sum OF $706.10,
surplus fees for December, which
under the provisions of the Ellis
bill ought to have passed into the
hands of that official. Recorder
Lambs action is based upon the
late decision of the Supreme Court
In case which was appealed from
Marlposa county, In which that
tribunal decided that bill similar
In it's provisions to the Ellis DILL
was unconstitutional. The Re.
corder tells the Board that he has
employed cou nsel, in the persons
Of the Messrs. Brunson & Wells
aud the Messrs. Bicknell & White,
to maintain his position. Should
this view OF tue Ellis bill be found
tepable. the County Recorder
would soon bring an action for the
recovery of $4,000 or $1,000 surplus
fees paid over to the county under
the Ellis act. County Tax Collec-
tor Cullen, during the same period,
has paid over surplus fees amount
Ing to $4,000 or $4,000. Take it
for all in all, it is pretty pickle,
and has aroused the Supervisors to
q lively pitch of Indignation, re-
sulting in motion to suspend the
payment of the salary of the re-
calcitrant Lamb. Should we have
a dry year and this recouping on
the County Treasury together, our
people would think that they are
the benefciaries of local dispen.
sation about equivalent to that of
the seven plaques of Egypt.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1882-01-04

terms of the turf, "put up or shut
up.n In his article our friend
Holt intimates that we have de.
rived our information from Mr.. l..
j. Rose, of Sunny Slope. In this
he Is correct. In the assertion
that the editor of this paper was
never In Riverside he Ia entirely
mistaken. In the spring of 1878
we were there, aud were entirely
charmed with the colony, even at
that early stage OF its existence. 1t
has been a matter of great regret
to us that we have never been able
to 60 there since. We hear, on all
hands, that it is notably lovely
settlement. But, as to the exis-
tence of the red scale, in limited
quantities, in this promising and
progressive colony, we commit the
whole controversy TO the Messrs.
Rose and Holt. We remember
very distinctly the position taken
up by the HERALD, viz, that the
Riverside orange groves are as yet
in their infancy and that the time
has not yet come for the full de-
velopment of pests which pertain
to later age of the trees. AS to
grape cuttings, Mr.. Rose seems to
have conclusively demonstrated
the fact that the red scale has
never appeared on the vine in Los
Angeles county, while Mr.. Holt
has asserted that it has. That is
the real point at issue, and we de-
sire to see 1t tested. We return
the challenge Of our Riverside con-
temporary; and, having full conf
deEce in Mr.. Roses declaration, we
offer to put up fifty dollars that the
red scale cannot be found on Mr..
Roses vines, and we will pay the
expenses of Mr.. l., M. Holt to Los
Angeles and return, to test the
matter. To employ that gentle
mans own classic language, "put
up or shut up"
