MAKING CARDBOARD.
Tho Simple Process in Use in the Loading
Factories of England.

The Simple Process in Use in the Leading
Factories of England.
On the first floor of factory the
initial stage of the manufacture was
seen. in the mingling of the various
papers for making the boards, i. O.,
two sheets for the outer surface, then
the coarser paper for middles, in single
sheets, to the number required. The
pile thus formed, which is called head.
was now passed to the left hand of the
paster, who, welding large brush,
like the head of a sweeping broom, in
his right hand, took hold of sheet of
outside, which was duly coated with
paste from a big tub at his side.
His left hand meanwhile had seized
! sheet of inside, which, placed on the
pasted sheet, was similarly coated, as
vas another and yet another, until the
required thickness was attained, when
two sheets of cutters were taken to-
gether, so that no paste should lie be-
tween two sheets of complete board.
AS soon as q pile of boards were thus
made they were placed in a screw
press to squeeze out superauous water
from the paste, and then hung on lines
TO dry; afterwards they were separated,
passed through glazing rolls between
copper sheets. to give them finish,
and packed for sending home.
On the floor above the process of en-
ameling both cards and paper was
in full swing; the enamel being COM
posed of color and size mixed into a
paste with mountain snow, to get the
required tint, the work being finished
off with brushes of badger hair. The
sheets of enameled stuff require laying
out to dry separately. The tempera-
ture was up to eighty degrees, as quick
drying is essential to success.
The steam for heating purposes and
for power, both for board making and
other work for the premises, is derived
from a Cornish boiler in the basement,
driving sixteen-horse power hori-
zontal engine of capital construction.
The paste is boiled by steam and
starch is used for finer work.-British
Printer.

All About the Smiths.

Nine townships in the United States
are named after Mr.. Smith. Besides
these there are five places named
Smiths.
OF places having Smith as prefix
there are 100.
Smithville is the most popular of
these names, there being thirty-two
Srnithvilles in this little world.
Next comes Smithfield, of which
there are twenty-seven.
There are three Smith landings and
three Smiths ferries to bring the
Smiths to the landings.
Smith has one Basin, where doubt
less Smith washes himself, and it is on
the Champlain canal, in New York
State.
Smith has three islands, one grove,
two cross roads and one crossing, five
creeks and a cove, two ports and one
point, twelve mills, one valley, three
stations and one river, one ranch, one
fork, one gap, one hill and three fords.
Perhaps the oldest name among tho
Smith titled places is Smiths Turn
Out, which is in South Carolina.
Smiths Sound is north of Bafiin's bay
and so say we all-Smith's Sound
enough. St. Paul Globe.

the entire vote cast against
the prohibitory amendment
yesterday would revolt heroic
ally against any backward step
in the positive restraints Of the
liquor traffic ; and any effort
looking to even an approx
mate return to the old license
system would only call out
another advance in the re-
strictive features of our license
laws. Let no one assume that
the result Of prohibition is a
rum victory" 1t is a victory
achieved by the conservative
temperance element OF the
State, and it means that severe
laws shall regulate a traffic
that is capable Of great wrongs
to society and that there shall
be no lawlessness either in
vited or tolerated in it. 1t
leaves the whole issue, from
high license even to absolute
open for consid-
Grafton in our legislative halls,
and there will be constant
pressure for advancement in
every line that promises the
promotion Of public sobriety.
Prohibition is beaten tenn
pcrance is not beaten, and it
is now safe to say that it never
can be beaten in Pennsylva
nia..-Phi2a. Times.
~
1t was a rally Of sober
minded citizens who are afraid
Of too much government
and Of sudden change, and
who abhor the approaches to
offensive paternalism. The
deciding votes were cast by
persons who are temperate in
their opinions as well as in
their habits, and who love JUS
tice and rely upon public in
telligence and morality as the
safe guards Of society.-hi2a-
dclphia Record.
-
1t is a striking proof of the
extent Of the conviction now
possessing the public mind
that restraint and regulation
and not the suppression Of the
traffic in and use of alcoholic
liquors is after all the only
State policy promising practi-
cal results. High license has
been substituted for prohibi-
tion in a number of cities
where the liquor evil was
at its r,aximum. and al
ways with good effect. Phila-
delphia has a system Of high
license. and the unwillingness
Of a large portion Of its best
citizens to surrender ITS prac-
tical benefits for a theory
which cannot at present be
reduced to practice accounts,
it is believed, for the large ma
jority it gave against prohibi-
ton. In Boston the same feel
ing prevailed at the recent
election in that city-clergy-
men and other persons of
stro:s temperance sentiments
worked at the polls for high
license as against prohibition,
taking the ground that severe
restriction, which is feasible.
is to be preferred TO severer
means which experience has
shown to be impracticable.-

BIG SOFT COAL TRUST.
The MOnOngahela River Operators Said
to BE Forming a Combine.

A big trust is being formed by New York and
Pittsburg capitalists to control all the Monon-
gahela river valley mines. Col W. II. Sims, .
well-known capitalist of New York, is at the
head of the movement The details by which
this grand change in river mines ownership is
to take place will be arranged between now
and December Is, the limit fixed for the expi-
ration Of the option. All the oprators of any
prominence, 1t is said, have expressed a will
ingness to enter the new deal
1t is alleged that the operators being aware
that the scheme was to be carried out, are in
no haste to come to an understanding with the
striking miners.
The magnitude of the scheme may be judged
by the fact that the Monongahela valley mines,
extending from Pittsburg distance of seventy
five miles up the stream, furnish the major
portion of the coal used by river towns all the
way to New Orleans, including Cincinnati,
Louisville and Memphis. About S20. 600 are
invested, and the annual product is valued at
Sl5, 900 900. There are about lbs coal mines
aud many river steamers which tow 200
craft, such as barges laden with the black dia-
monds. About Ii, 900 men are employed in and
about the mines and 8, 500 in the transportation
trade. The syndicate headquarters will be To-
Gated in Pittsburg.

THE PHONORTOGRAPH.
A Machine That Beats the Photograph
and Only Costs Five Dollars.
From the London Truth.

From the London Truth.
A machine has been patented in Great Britain
and will shortly be made known to the public
that promises to make ducks and brakes of
typewriters, monographs, graphophones and
all previous inventions. The inventor of this
mechanical prodigy has just brought it over
from America and its existence for the present
is practically a secret.
The new invention, which is named the
''phonortograph," is about the size of large
cigar box and weighs 81 pounds. There are
two immense advantages possessed by the
''phonortograph." First, it will reproduce
sound with perfect accuracy upon fiat surface,
and, second it can be produced and sold for
So. The Edison monograph has this dsad-
vantage as a means of conducting correspond
ence. In Edison's invention the impression Of
the words spoken into it is made upon cylinder,
which is announcement to send through the post
In the 'phonortograph" the impression is made
upon a fiat sheet of paper, which can be
doubled up and sent through the post like an
ordinary letter in any ordinary envelope-the
paper, of course, having to be specially pre-
pared for the purpose.
The very highest hopes are entertained as to
the universal success of the '.phonortograph,"
full descriptions Of which will, no doubt
shortly appear in the technical journals It's
prospects may, in fact, be gagged when it is
remembered that in the United States no less
than $50 0O0, 900 are invested in the present
phonograph and graphophone. One hundred
thousand of those machines are already in use
and they are rented out for an annual payment
of $40 each

THE FLOODS THAT DESTROY.
Reports of Loss Everywhere, Bridges
Gone and Trains stopped.

The Susquehanna river at WIlkesbarre is
eighteen feet above high water mark. At 8
o'clock last evening the water overlooked the
west bank and the street cars between Wilkes
barre and Scranton had to tie up. All COM
munication with the west side towns of Ply
mouth. Edwardsville and Luzerne borough is
cut off. In order TO reach these towns il is
necessary to 60 around by way of Pittston, q
roundabout way of sixteen miles. No damage
to property is reported thus far.
OF the Philadelphia and Reading railroad
bridge that crosses the Susquehanna at the
south end of the town of Milton but two spans
remain. Thirty-one cars had been put on the
trestles to anchor them, laden with coal coke,
iron, stone and sand, but all went down into
the current. The cars and iron can be re-
covered.
Three incomplete spans of the new iron
bridge across the Susquehanna at Harrisburg
went down yesterday.
The lumber men are doing all in their power
to strengthen the big boom above the long
bridge of the Pennsylvania railroad at Column
bia, which spans the Susquehanna here, a mile
and an eighth wide. A break OF this boom
would be attended with great damage to river
front property and possibly the bridge.
The loss of the Market-street bridge in
Williamsport falls on the contractors. Com
munication with the south side has been es-
tablished by steam ferry and the people arc not
greatly Inconvenience The most serious in
terruption to traffic is occasoned by the loss OF
two spans of the Pennsylvania temporary
bridge ut Montgomery.

MARYLAND GETS 1T.
The Hog Island Boundary Line Dis
pute Settled.

Henry L. Whiting, an engineer OF the coast
survey, has made report as referee on the
disputed boundary line between Maryland and
virginia at Hog Island. C. r. Lewis leased OF
inc state OF Virginia some oyster flats at Hog
Island The authorities OF the state of Mary
land claimed that these oyster beds we're in
'her state. The question was debated for
some time and the governors Of these states
nnaiiy agreed TO appoint commissioners TO
Aroi'ra'e THE matter. Gen. Jos. Il. Seth was
appointed to represent Maryland and W. A.
Jones the state of Virginia. The report awards
the disputed territory TO the state of Mary
land. The Virginia legislature will be asked
10 repeal the act leasing the flats TO Mr. Lewis
After reviewing the original charter winch
adopted the high water mark as tho
boundary line and the award of arbitrator in
1877 which changed the line 90 low water mark
Mr.. Whiting concludes as follows: Il am pre-
pared TO say. on the part of the coast and
the award Of the arbitrator OF 1877, as descrip-
tive of the boundary line between Maryland
and Virginia, no mathematical OF physical con-
struction can be put upon the meaning of said
description which will locate and define thls
