WOOD PULP PALS.

Aa Interesting Description Of the Proee.s
of Their Manufacture.
The pail Is entirely in one piece and
without hoops. so it never leaks or falls
to pieces. besides being lighter by far
than any other material from which
such vessels could be made. The pro
cess of their manufacture IL thus de-
scribed: The wood. preferably spruce,
although any soft, fbrous wood will
answer. is first cleared of its bark and
cut TO a length uniform with the grind
stone to be used. generally sixteen TO
twenty-four inches. 1t Is then placed
against the face of rapidly revolving
grindstone. the grain of the wood be-
ing in line with or parallel with the
axis of the stone. and a hydraulic or
worm screw piston keeping the wood
constantly pressed against the stone.

screened Of slivers and sawdust. Is .
miIky-white liquid. With the water
sufficiently extracted this is the wood
pulp used in the manufacture Of paper
and indurated fiber ware. The process
of manufacture of ware from the pulp
is exceedingly simple. and Is similar in
all the lines made by the company. In
making pail. for instance, the ms
chine for first molding the pail from
the pulp is provided with hollow per-
forated form of cast iron. shaped like
the inside of pail. and covered first
with perforated brass and then
with fine wire cloth. This form.

which fits over il very tightly. Within
this hat is placed flexible rubber bag,
and between this and the inner form
first mentioned is admitted the pulp,
still in liquid state. The pulp being
pumped in under pressure. the water
Immediately begins to drain of through
the wire cloth and perforations. and
the rubber bag ssyells until it fills the
hat The supply of pulp is then shut
of. and water under high pressure IL
admitted within the hat and outside
the rubber bag. thus squeezing much
of the water from the pulp. After
standing some eight 10 ten minutes the
pressure is shut of. the inner form
lowered, and the pulp pail removed.
At this stage the pail is still nearly fifty
per cent water. but is sufficiently
strong to allow handling This water
is first all dried out in dry kilns, and
then the pail is turned off on the out
side with a gang of saws. After sand
papering inside and out the pail Is
ready for the treatment house. where
