which would be lost if the paper
were consigned to the furnaces. A
firm in New Jersey is under contract
to pay the government $4,000 a ton
for the pulp.
when the maceration is supposed
to be completed a cylinder is I'M
locked by the committee and por-
ton of it's contents withdrawn for
their inspection. # the sample passes
inspection a revolution of the cylin-
der drops its contents into a vat,
where the mass is quickly reduced
to a thick liquid by a stream of
water. By an ingenious arrange
ment of pipes and the operation of
the principles of the siphon, the
liquid pulp is carried to a compli-
Gated machine which extracts the
water and collects the particles of
pulp upon revolving blanket. When
the pulp has collected in a sheet an
inch thick, sections of the sheet,
about yard long, are cut off, fold
ed over once and stacked ready to
be placed upder hydraulic pressure,
which compacts them into the small
est possible space, and promotes
speedy drying. When thoroughly
dried the sheets, now hard as wood,
are packed into bales weighing about
250 pounds each, and are ready for
shipment to the contractors, by
whom it is manufactured into buck
cts, basins and many other useful
articles. A small portion of it is
moulded into the shapes of shoes,
hats, animals and other familiar OBJ
jects and sold for souvenirs.
The pulp obtained from the macer-
alton of postage stamps is not valu-
able, because the acid ink used in
manufacturing them destroys the
fiber of the paper. When the yellow
ish pulp of postage stamps drops
from the macerating machine it is
treated with a strong current of
water, which carries it off through
a pipe into the Potomac river.
HUGE SAUSAGE GRINDER.
In the endorsement of the treas
ury building, ranged on either side
of diInly lighted corridors, are long
rows of dungeon-like rooms, with
walls of solid granite. Some are
used for storage; others for work
shops and engines and machinery.
Down in this region, in a well-lighted
apartment, is located the machine
which macerates all of the national
bank notes returned to the treas
ury for redemption, and the notes of
all national banks that have failed.
Its shape reminds one Of huge
sausage grinder. It's operation is
wholly different from that of the
big machines at the bureau of en-
craving and printing. The notes are
reduced TO pulp by the operation Of
an upper and lower wheel, each
armed with broad steel knives re-
volving horizontally in different di-
rections. A current of water SoftenS
the paper and carries it toward the
center, and the centrifugal motion
throws it between the cutting sur
faces and outward again toward the
periphery. Thence it passes around
beneath the oval top and again to
the center. AS no chemicals can be
used in this machine without injury
to the cutting surfaces, the pulp
has to be transferred to the cylinders
at the bureau of engraving and
printing for removal of the ink, and
for the final processes necessary to
prepare it for commercial uses.

A $4,000 Butterhx.

1t has only been three or four years
since the expressions 'as pretty as the
Hankins butterfly and worth as
much as the Hawkins butterfly were
among the colloquials at Saratoga and
: other Eastern watering places. The
{ expression arose in this way: One of
the favorites at the places mentioned
was Mrs. Hawkins, of Chicago, VINO
wore as a jewel a butterfly five and
half inches long by two and a half
lncneS wide, made of pure gold anc
set with row of seventy-six brilliant
diamonds. Besides this edging of pure
gems there were 124 others of the same
KIND scattered over the body of the
JeWel. The gem body of this golden in
sect was large Hungarian opal, and
, the tail was made of emeralds and
f ub1es. Mrs. Hankins valued the orna,
ment at $4,000.

EVERYBODY WANTS CORBETT
The California Boy Believed to Be Sure
Winner by Local Sports
Fitzsimmons Not In It In the Los Angeles
Pool Rooms-The Odds Are
Two to One

Los Angeles is certainly Corbett town.
The Pacific coast 10y is the lad who IS
going 20 win the fight tonight, and about
all the local sports are ready to bet that
ne will do Sd with ease and dispatch-of
course, provided the fight comes off.
The pool rooms were crowded to the
doors last evening with an expectant
throng, and if there had bean any GER
tainty that the contest would surely be
fought out there would have been no such
thing as getting inside the betting room
after so =. m.
The first odds posted were to on
Corbett. at this figure some few Fitz-
sim ons men stepped up and planked
down few hundred dollars, but soon the
tide changed and SO did the odds.
Corbett money was offered at 2 to 1.
But the packers OF the Australian weak
cned, and but few bets were placel at
these figures.
The fact that there was no certainty
attaching to the fight being pulled off
made betters lukewarm. Finally, though,
a strong Corbett man offered to bet 500
even that his fsvorite would put the Aus
tralian to sleep in twenty rounds. One of
FitZsimmons' admirers woke up and took
the bet. Then the Corbett man offered
$1,000 or any part thereof on the same
proposition. He was accommodated to
the extent of $500 morn and left satisfied.
All bets on the prize fight made at the
pool rooms are off unless the contest taxes
place prior to IL o'clock midnight, Los
Angeles time. The decision of the ref
cree, Steve Brodie, IS, of course, to
govern.

board will visit Elysian park in a body

of Hanover is that Frau Won Ruling was
a beautiful woman in her day, ami that,
fearing by some chanca that her grave

itself out between the stones of the mas
