"A Manufacture of Wood That Has Many
Uses and Is Sold In Great Quantities.

The material known as excelsior is not
refuse, nor is it made Of shavings; 1t is
an article of regular manufacture Elk
cclsior is of American invention, and 1t
was first made in this country 80 or 40
years ago. The present output amounts to
thousands of tons annually, and the use of
II Is all the time increasing.
Excelsior Is made in many parts of tho
country, almost always in mills that are
in close proximity to the forests from
which the supplies OF wood are taken. A
considerable amount OF excelsior is made
In conjunction with other manufactures;
for example, 1t Is not unusual to set up u
few excelsior machines in lumber mill,
but there Is at least one concern in the
United States that makes nothing but ex-
celsior and has at u number of different
points mills devoted solely to the produc-
ton Of these curling flbers OF wood.
Eastwood and poplar are the woods used
in the production The logs are sawed
into lengths of is inches, which is the
length of n fiber Of excelsior These blocks
are split into halves and the wood is prop
erly seasoned. Excelsior is made of DIFF
ferent degrees of coarseness and flneness
OF fiber, In the manufacture series of
knife points run down the face of the block
cutting into the wood In parallel lines that
are spaced according to the width OF the
fiber to be made A following knife slices
of the whole face of the block thus scored
Tho iibers curl and commingle AS the knife
sets them free. An excelsior machine
makes POO to 300 strokes minute, every
stroke cutting of tier Of flbers across the
face of the block. The usual commercial
package of excelsior is Il bale weighing
about $50 pounds. At wholesale excelsior
sells at $40 to $40 ton.
Excelsior is extensively used for packing
purposes and in the manufacture of bed.
ding and in various other upholstery uses
1t is also largely used for filtering pur.
poses, and it has various other uses. Ex-
celsior is now manufactured in Germany
and France, where IL is called wood wool
The wood used in the manufacture in
those countries is brought from Norway
and Sweden, and the manufactured product
costs more there than it does here.

Few men apparently earn their salaries

these same runners. Unless you aro ia
