PAPER CAR WHEELS.
How They Are Made and Their Advan,
tage on Passenger Coaches.

How They Arc Made and Their Advan,
taEe on Passenger Coaches.
On all the first-class passenger cars
paper wheels are used. The paper
wheel consists of paper core, or cen.
ter. between two steel plates ono
fourth inch thick. bolted togethe
through one flange on the iron hub
and another on the steel tire, the
Ranges being on opposite sides of the
wheel, SO that the core can not get ont
of place.
The paper used consists Of GOOD
strawbOard. The sheets of millboard
are laid on a table in piles and have
their upper surfaces pasted by bows
with ordinary -four paste. They arc
piled in lots of thirteen. and an I'M
pasted sheet is put between the lots. so
that the mass of paper readily falls
apart into slabs quarter of an inch
thick in the drying-room after coming
from the hydraulic press.
Several of these slabs are then pasted
together, put under hydraulic pressure
of two thousand pounds to the square
inch and dried for a week or so at a
twenty degrees Fahrenheit. This is
repeated until the resulting blocks con-
tain two hundred sheets Of paper, the
original ten inches in thickness of the
paper as it came from the mill being
pressed into thickness Of four inches,
making it as hard as oak.
After the blocks are thoroughly sea.
soned they are faced and turned in
latehes and forced by about one hun
dred and twenty tons pressure into tho
steel tires. which are two inches thick
and bored tapering one and one-half
degrees. The hub is forced with a
pressure of about thirty tons; it is
turned straight and three-sixteenths
inches larger than the hole in the paper.
The bolt holes are drilled and the bolts
forced in by steam hammers. The life
of one of those wheels is from five hun.
dred thousand to eigh. hundred thou
sand miles. They are said to intercept
vibration and SO prevent granulation

valentines the girls had written that
day.
On the 18th the six girls were all
together at school. comparing notes
and exchanging condolences. But
Kitty Green drew Nelly aside. and
said. while they walked up and down
the hall together, their arms around
each other as girls will:
81 saw Jack get it, Nelly"
Nelly's pretty cheeks glowed and her
eyes shone like stars, but she asked no
questions. Indeed they were scarcely
necessary, for Kitty was eager enough
to tell her story.
HE got it, don't you think, along
with half dozen others. and he read
them all before he came to this one I
knew this, you know, by the shape of
the envelope. When he came to it l
saw him read it all through. and then l
saw him go back and read it again. l
heard him say to himself:
:" That's an honest letter from some
little saint
Then he came up to me and held it
toward me. while pretended to be
very busy with my valentines. Then
he spoke:
"'Do you know that handwriting,
Kit?'
Il felt like an awful little liar, but I
had promised you. stretched out my
hand for it and said, carelessly:
"'Why. amt it Sues?
Sue is his sister, you know. So he
thought I did not know who it came
from. and he changed his mind and put
it into his pocket and went off When
I leased him afterward to let me see it
he said:
"'No; there are some things . fellow
would be q cad to show
$50 saw it hit home, and well It
might It was . tremendous letter,
Nelly"
And Kitty ended with . hug and .
kiss. and = look Of that loyal admira-
ton which girl can give another girl

When the spring came Jack Green
went away from Chester. and did not
come back there any more. No doubt
Nelly Hunt would have forgotten his
very existence but for the valentine,
which she could not forget She used
to blush as she grew older. to think
how "tumptious" it was. as she used to
,;all it to herself What was she, that
she should have undertaken to preach

son dyed Nelly's face and throat In
that moment she thought of her
''tumptious" valentine, which had not
crossed her mind before for a long
time.
He looked at her with a smile in his
eyes, but with face that preserved all
its respectful gravity. He took a red
leather case out of his pocket, and from
the case he took the very old valentine,
which Nelly remembered so we'll Then
he produced the brief note she had
written that afternoon; and still there
was light enough left in the day to see
them by, as he held them side by side.
Your hand has matured somewhat
since this valentine was written" he
remarked. quietly; but some Of these
letters l should know anywhere No
one could deceive me-"
Il did not suppose you had kept that
foolish thing" Nellie said. with a pitt
full little CULVER in her voice. as if she
were just on the point OF bursting into
tears. 81 am SO ashamed"
DR.. Jack looked at her a moment, as
she stood there in the waning light. q
lovely. graceful girl, from whom any
man might be proud to win even
passing interest So this was the wom-
an, the thought of whom he had car
ried in his heart for years! If he had
ever done any good thing he was paid
for it in the satisfaction of that hour.
Are you sorry" he asked, slowly,
''that you have helped one man to be
his best self? Those words of yours
were to me like the voice of my in
most soul Since then this paper has
never left me, nor have I ever ceased
to strive to be worthy of the esteem of
