GLASS PAPER.
That Would he n More Accurate Desig-
nation Than sandpapsr.

That Would he n More Accurate Desig-
nation Than sandpaper.
Sandpaper as now made is false to
Its name, for 1t has no sand about IL,
the place of that material being now
taken usually by powdered glass,
which does its work with vastly greater
effect.
One of the most important operations
In the fabrication of sandpaper Is the
pulverization Of the glass into powder
of the different grades of fneness.
Commonly an iron mortar is used for
this purpose, a heavy iron pestle being
the crushing instrument. Stamping
machinery is better. In the box, which
can be closed by wooden door to pre-
vent waste of material and also in
jury to the workman, are two iron CYL
inders In which play the stamps. These
crush the glass, turning on their own
axles as they work.
For grading the powder several sift-
ing cylinders are necessary, covered
with gauze of different mesh. Begin
ming with the coarsest the workman
proceeds gradually to the finest, re-
sitting each time that which passes
through the network.
The paper to be used in the manus
facture must be good, strong and ratn-
er long-fibered; 1t must also be free
from knots and Irregularities, and II
there be any such they must be planed
off. If they should be overlooked, they
would interfere with the proper use
of the sandpaper, the knots would pro-
trude through the glue, and little
ridges and channels would result, maxi
Ia { ty,,n To on
face evenly with the paper.
The paper is cut into large sheets,
spread on work tables, fastened down,
and then painted, by means Of large
brush, with thin, even coat of hot
glue. II the glue is too thin and the
paper Of bad quality, the glue soaks
into the paper, so that which remains
is not of sufficient consistency to hold
the glass. Thus results sandpaper
from which the glass easily rubs OF,
or which, in places, has no glass at all,
or not enough. This is notably the
case with the coarser varieties, In
which the layer of glue must be put on
with exceeding care that the relatively
large fragments of glass, which can
in no manner be soaked with the bind
ing material, may be held fast In IL.
On the other hand, if the layer of glue
is too thick or the consistence too Wis
cious, the outer part hardens too quick
ly, so that the glass powder cannot
embed itself in it.
When the glue has been spread on
the paper the powdered glass must be
sifted on through an appropriate sieve.
This operation also requires consider
able skill, though not so much as the
spreading of the glue. For the glass
must not be sifted merely in such a
manner as to use given quantity to
a sheet, but so that each sheet may be
covered evenly. Even then all the
powder will not stick, and some of the
particles lie upon others without touch
ing the glue; these can be shaken OH
by a slight movement Of the paper.
When the superfiuous glass powder has
been removed wooden roller is passed
lightly over the paper to press the par
ticles of glass as firmly as possible In
to the glue and to form perfectly
even surface.-Philadelph Inquirer.

After years of disuse the curfew bell
is again ringing. Its peaceful ciangor
rises in villages like a tireside hymn.
1t is the angelus of the home, calling
the people from labor and pleasure
back to the household. The revival Of
the custom may seem like return to
Puritan simplicity, but its beneficent
results can hardly be questioned.
Twenty towns in Minnesota have al
ready adopted the curfew ordinance.
1t provides that young people under
16 years of age who are found on the
streets after the ringing Of curfew arc
subject to arrest. The first offense 10
punished with fine, the second with
Imprisonment and the third with both.
While the ordinance has not been long
enough in operation to definitely de-
termine its results,yet 1t has been prov
cd practicable, and the towns that have
tried it seem satisfied with 1t. The
warning bell, at 10 o'clock, sends
youthful stragglers where all young
people should be at that hour. There
can be no legitimate excuse for chill
dren being without the guarded walls
of home when traitorous night threa-
tens danger. The curfew ordinance
serves the best interest Of parents and
children and the community at large.
Other towns would do well to follow
the example of these twenty enterpris-
ing places.-Minneapo Times.

Hnw They Kent Him Quiet.

I went to see woman last Tuesday
morning who has young son; think
he's not much over year old, in fact.
He's the noisiest little fellow | ever
saw, but this morning he kept still so
long that the mother and | rushed into
the nursery to see what the nurse had
done to him. She simply had found
a way to keep him quiet and out of
mischief. He had little bits OF raw
cotton stuck to his hands with molas-
ses, and he was trying to pick them off
he was too busy TO cry, and for the first
time since I've known him he was alb
solutely quiet for a quarter OF an hour.

An investigation into the cause Of a
fire in a Winter street dry goods store
IN Boston recently resulted in demon
strating that an incandescent electric
lamp will generate sufficient heat to set
inflammable material into blaze. The
fire in question, for which still alarm

THE Committees re-
PORT

The committee instructed to look
into the financial condition of the
books of Mr. John Vigneaux. COL
1eotor, and MIR. Alphonse Neveu,
treasurer, of the outgoing council,
have made their report which is
published in another column of this
paper. A deficit of S5o1.:37 is re-
ported against the collector and
$zo1.I7 against the treasurer.
The Gazette will not go into the
details of this case. The commit
tee 6nd that the outgoing officials
owe to the corporation of Lafayette
the sum of $7o3.49. They owe tn S
amount or they do not owe it. II
there are any doubts as to the cor
sectpess of the committees report
the courts are open for the settle
ment of such matters. If 1t is
found that the committee have
erred and thereby done Messrs.
yigneaux and Neveu an injustice
these gentlemen can have ample re-
course, for the courts are also open
to them for all reparation. The
c.,mn:ittee have made their report.
If it is not correct there is way to
prove its incorrectness. If it is
correct its correctness will be fully
established, and this is all there is to
it.
