GUNS MADE OF PAPER.
Its Chief Points Are Its Elasticity
and Lightness.

Almost without limit are the purposes
to which wood pulp is being put, says
George l.. Rice in the Paper Trade Jour
nal. The last invention in this line is the
manufacture of large guns from this ma
terial. Guns have been made from lea
Their pulp, and these are bound with
hoops of metal. The leather pulp is, of
course. hardened. There is also core of
metal set inside of the gun The light
ness of the leather cannon is an essential
feature. The principal aim, however, is
to secure a material which has some elias
ITCHY, so that the force of a heavy dis
charge will be broken gradually. This
seems to be obtained in cannon
made from a pulpy substance. Paper
pulp answers the purpose, as numerous
trials and experiments have proved. 1t
possesses more elasticity than metal, and
When hardened is nearly as tough; hence
this material is useful in the manufacture
of articles ret iring hard, efficient and
elastic properties. The body of the gun
is made of paper pulp. The core is of
metal and made very much like the cores
of ordinary cannon. The exterior of the
cannon is wound with wire. About five
layers of copper, brass or steel wire are
firmly wound on thus binding the cannon.
Outside of the covering of wire are vari-
Gus bands of brass. There are lock-nuts
on each side of the uprlghts, and these
hold the rods in place.
The process of making the gun is as
follows: A special grade of paper pulp, in
winch the more is long, Is selected ana
well agitated. The usual hardening and
toughening ingredients consisting of lith-
arge, wax, tallow, white lead and glue,
are introduced. The pulp is then run into
Dlolds and cast of the proper shape. The
steel core is put in; wire is bound around
the exterior; brass or steel bands are Sc
curely set about the whole and the paral-
lei rods are applied. The rods, being of
steel, possess a degree of spring and as
they are fastened to the bands the result
is the gun which will give way slightly at
each discharge, yet cannot burst A per-
son may make his muscles rigid and fall
to the ground, in which case he is likely
10 receive q broken bone, but if the mus
cles are relaxed the bones will give way
somewhat and will not break. The same
principle is applied to the paper cannon.
The pulp, though exceedingly durable,
will give way enough TO prevent a break.
The layers of wire, the bindings of steel
bands and the parallel rods add strength.
In war times it is easy to batter down
brick wall or a stone foundation, but q
protection of bales of hay, bags of sand
similar substance is not affected, as the
shot is simply imbedded in it. The chief
points of the pulp gun are elasticity and
lightness. Being lighter, it follows that
transportation will be easier. It is said
that the leather pulp guns, which, if
made Of metal. would require a derrick
to move, are readily transported on light
wagons. Paper pulp is no heavier than
leather pulp.

a TRICK OF THE TRADE.

That there are tricks in all trades, even
in a dentists. was well illustrated a
short time ago in large dental Office of
this city.
A little girl wanted, or rather her rela-
tives wanted. her tooth pulled. Accom-
panying her was her mother and two
aunts, all very nervous and very much
excited.
After much coaxing and bribing she
was induced to seat herself in the chair
and open her mouth, but whenever she
saw the dentist bend over her. snap
would come her teeth together and no
persuasion could make her omen her
mouth until the dentist retreated a few
feet.
This performance was repeated time
and time again, and at last the dentist
gave up in despair and called in the lady
assistant. a member of the firm.
She talked to the little girl for a few
moments and then asked her to open her
mouth. This she did, but the lady de-
ciared that 1t was only half open. The
little one tried il again and again. but
only found that the lady ridiculed her the
more.
MY dear the lady said at length. do
you know why you cannot open your
mouth very wide? It is because you keen
your eyes open. If you shut your eyes
you can open it twice as much
This idea seemed to please>the girl. She
laughed. and shutting her eyes opened
her mouth as wide as possible. In an in
slant the lady bent over her and extract
ed the tooth.
A scream, a few "dears" from the
of the dentist, goodbys. and all was over.

are tricks in all rades''-Cincinnat

ing to the outlook, in cut stones. The dia-
mond cutting industry, however, has new
er fourished in this country TO any re-
markable extent, while in Antwerp there
are $4,000 persons engaged in cutting
stones and 5000 others directly connected
with the trade. In America up to the
last year, only forty-five diamond cutters
We're known to be at work, and they were
At the present time there are probably
80 or more cutters in the United States
ana they are for the most part employed
IN IN cutting rough stones 1t is expected
that by next summer this number will be
at least doubled. The increase is due to
the fact that in the last tariff bill the i'm
port duty OF. cut diamonds was increased
from 10 to 70 per cent, and a duty was
also put on rough diamonds, which were
formerly on the free list.
Diamonds will now have TO be cut in
this country, thus creating practically
new industry, for the number of cutters
has heretofore been insignificaptly small.
Ihelr work is almost entirely OF the ma
ture of recruiting. Cutters have arrived
from abroad in great numbers, and many
more are OH their way. Some have been
permitted to land and some: have been
debarred under the law forbidding the i'm
migration of contract laborers. 1t is per-
maps unnecessary TO say that the former
declare that they had not come here I'M
der contract-a statement naturally re
ceived with suspicion. 1t is reported that
$o.UO0O0O worth of capital has already
been subscribed TO establish diamond cut
tng works in this country. Large shops
have already been leased in Brooklyn,
and also in Cincinnati, in which have
been installed hundreds of machines The
immediate possibilities of this enterprise
depend on the immigration of d large
number Of diamond cutters, who will
hardly come on a mere chance of finding
employment here. To forbid the immigra-
ton of those coming under labor con-
tracts appears to be a necessary part of
the protective system. unless the system
is to protect only capital. Now as it is a
law it should be vigorously enforced. The
notion that diamond cutting is a new in
dustry, and that therefore the law does
not apply is justly repudiated by the
treasury department.

AN ANTI Glass PARTY.
Congressman Tom Watson Points
Out Motley Crowd of Public En-
emieS.

I do not believe there will be another
political party formed by 1896 but I do
believe that an understanding will be
reached between the Populists, the Amer
lean bimetallic party and the free silver
elements of the Democratic and Republic
can parties which will amount practically
to the formation of united opposition to
the extreme contraction, protective, cor
poration and class rule tendencies so
boldly developed in the policies of such
Democrats as Cleveland. Brice. German,
Bayard. Hill. Villas and Olney and OF
such Republicans as Sherman, Allison,
Reed and Mckinley.
Disguise it as we may, the feeling eX-
lists that life and death struggle has be-
gun between the principles upon which
this government was founded and the
principles against which its formation
was a protest.
The question is, Can we restore the
fend the heritage of the Revolution
against the socialist. anarchist, Gem
munist, on the one side, and against the
plutocrat, the corporate feudalism, the
specially privileged millionaires, on the
other? 1 believe it can be done, and that
it will be done. But union of all the
anticlass rule elements is absolutely
necessary.
To bring about this union without any
sacrifice of principle will be a heavy task,
but 1 believe that honest. earnest, able
men are now at work upon hopeful lines
and that the result aimed at will be ac-
complished by 1896.
1 am a Populist from the shoes up, but
will work heartily with any man who
opposes the acknowledgements policy
and the utter destruction of our liberties
which it threatens.
Excepting a strong opposition in the
cities where the banks naturally control
many business men and many neWspa-
pers, the anticlass rule elements 1 have
mentioned would carry with them almost
everybody in this state who does not
hold an Office.

MONEY THE STORM CENTER.
The Chairman OF the PopuIist Ma
tiOnaI Committee Defines the Is
sue.

A gold standard, bank currency and
gold bonds, as represented by the Repub-
iican and Democratic parties on one side;
bimetallism at the ratio of 16 to /, legal
tender treasury notes issued by the gen.
eral government and no bonds, as repre-
scented by the Populist and bimetallic par
ties; on the other, will be the storm GEN.
ter IN the campaign of 1896.
The money question will be the great
issue IN American politics until properly
adjusted, because no other reform is pos
sIble until we establish a just, equita BILE
and American financial system. The con-
tnuance of the gold standard will result
in wholesale reputation by the debtor
Either must be avoided. An American
financial system that will reverse the
downward trend of prices and restore VAL
ueS, is the only hope that the debtor has
from being crushed.
the Peoples Party at its next national
convention will declare in favor of max
ing the money question the great CEN
trail idea, with no other plankS except
those which add strength to this one
Those who desire to retard monetary re-
form by loading US down with other is
sues viii, With the socialists and COM
muniStS, go TO the rear.
Though at present many delicate COM
plica lions confront all reformers, yet I be-
ieve that wise and conservative counsel
will prevail in the Populist and bimetal-
lie parties, so that all voters who are op-
posed to the gold standard will be united
under one banner in 1896 In this event
we will elect the next president and a
congress that will give the people free
coinage of silver, legal tender treasury
notes and dethrone the money power. On
this issue 40 per cent. of the voters will
cast their fortunes on our side.
The south and west for self-preserva-
ton, must unite in one party. These two
sections have a majority in the electoral
college, Senate and House of Representa-
tives and can control the policies of our
nation TO the best interest of the wealth
producers of all sections.

Corporal punishment in the schools
of New Jersey is prohibited by law,
yet the boys of New Jersey are no less
deserving of a good whaling now and
then than the boys of other states.
Some of the teachers of the state, with
old-fashioned notions, condemn this
law, but must abide by it, and such a
teacher had charge of a country school
in the northern part of the state. He
was a strapping big fellow. and it was
a blessing to the boys. no doubt. that
they were protected by the law, for
they were a tough lot. The teacher
did the best he could with them by
moral suasion, but it was of little
avail. and he finally laid his case be-
fore the trustees.
