The Roller Process.
Nearly everybody is familiar with
the OLD process of grinding wheat for
flour between upper and neither mill
stones. The new, or roller, process is
now generally used. The process dates
In the United States from experiments
made at Minneapolis in 1873 and 1879.
In this process the millstones are re-
placed by pairs of small horizontal roll
ers, the surfaces of parts of which are
traversed by small sharp grooves par
allel to the axis of the rollers. These
pairs of rollers are arranged in sets Of
three, one above the other, with consid-
cradle intervals between. so that the
heat produced by the slight crushing
will be counteracted as the product
passes through the air on its way from

the sleeping cars in common use here he
drew the plans for the four cars which
are all that are at present running in
Japan. Since these pioneer cars were
put into service they have been at all
times profitable and popular, SC much
so that there is loud demand that all
Japanese roads should be equipped in
the same way. Mr.. Iwasaki has slight
ly modified the plan Of the usual Amer

seating eight, in which meals are served
at all hours Of the day or night. In
interior finish the japanese cars are
said to fairly Guido the barbaric and
hideous splendor Of their American
prototypes. In one way they are a
great improvement over anything in
this country, in that each upper bertl,
contains windows which admit air and
keep out dust. "

one pair of rollers to the next. These
pairs of rollers are adjusted so that the
crushing effect Of any one pair is
slight, and as many as six or seven
sets, making from eighteen to twenty
one pairs Of rollers, are necessary to
produce the various grades Of -four.
The process of separating light grains
from heavy, and the foreign seeds,
grains and other impurities from wheat
Is interesting. There are two processes:
The one is the process of sitting; the
other, that of exposing thin cascade of
falling grain to current of air. The
separation of mustard and cookie and
grass seed from the wheat may easily
be effected by passing the mixed grains
over inclined plates perforated with
holes large enough for the smaller
seeds to pass through, but not large
enough for the wheat. The oat grain is
separated by taking advantage Of the
elongated form. The mixed oat and
wheat grains are discharged in thin
sheet upon an inclined thin iron plate
perforated with round holes at inter-
walls nicely determined by experiment,
abundantly large for the passage of
both the oat and the wheat grains if
presented end foremost perpendicular
~ to the plate. But as the plate is in
clined, each berry must be tipped for
ward in order to enter hole An in
dividual hole is of such diameter that
when the wheat grain, sliding forward,
carries its center of gravity beyond the
support Of the upper edge Of the hole,
the forward end of the grain has not
reached the lower edge, and thus the
wheat falls through. The oat grain
however, being longer, is supported by
the forward edge of the hole until the
forward end Of the grain reaches the
further edge, and thus the oat grain
slides down the plate. Fragments of
straw and chaff pass on with the oats
The dust, smut and rust which may
cling to the berry are separated. by dis
charging the impure grain into the
space between what may be regarded
as vertical cylinder, the surface OF
which is covered with brushes, and a
closely fitting iron case perforated with
numerous Sits or holes which serve the
double purpose Of making the surface
rough and providing an escape for the
separated dust. Round seeds are sep
arated by taking advantage of the su-
perior velocity they acquire in rolling
down an inclined plane as compared
with the long grains, which slide. The
former leap an opening into which the
latter drop.
BY these and kindred processes it is
now practicable to obtain good wheat
from sample of spring wheat of
which not more than one-half is fit for
making flour.-Williamspo Pa.) Grit

until they reach the top floor Of the ele-
vator, perhaps 100 or ITO feet above
the point where they started. Here, as
the belt turns in the descent, the cups
empty their loads Of grain into bins
which are to hold the cereal but tenn
porarily. With chutes at their bottoms
these temporary bins are connected
with weighing bins on the floor just
below. The weigher, by system of
levers controlling a cutoff. draws into
the enclosed weighing bin as much
wheat as he pleases. When the yard
of the scale rises, indicating that the
amount Of grain for which he gauges
the scales has poured into the bin, he
cuts off the stream and records the
amount which has been weighed.
BY another lever the pla form of the
scales can be opened and the wheat
dropped into chute which leads to the
floor below. Here unique continuance
carries the grain to any Of the storage
bins desired. Two wide rubber belts,
fully three and a half feet broad. ex-
tend from one end of the long building,
to the other. The chutes from the va
rious weighing bins depend just above
one or the other Of these belts. The
belts are operated on rollers which
curve up in such way at their ends
that the belt is made to curve up in a
corresponding way at the edges. On
each side of the belt on the surface of
the floor is the rail of a track which ex-
tends the full length of the belt. At
various points along the floor are open
ings into the bins below. To get the
grain which has been dropped from the
weighing bin chutes to these flying
belts into the lower bins requires the
use of still another unique device which
runs on this track. This device is q re-
ceiver for the grain, and into this re-
ceiyer the grain is thrown from the
belt. The belt is shortened so that it
reaches only as far as the bin which it
is desired to fill. The end of the belt
is then fastened in this receiver. which
is rolled opposite the bin opening. The
river of grain comes flying along, and
as the belt turns under for the return
trip the grain shoots into receptacle
from which it drops into a chute lead
ing into the storage bin.
After the grain is placed in the stor-
age bin it is examined by elevator ex-
perts to see if it needs cleaning. If il,
does it is carried again to the first
hoor. where are located the great fan

HUNTING FOR A BONANZA.

Millions Being Sunk In Search for the
u - Crippl Creek Mother Lode.
w. s. Stratton, who attained to
tame as the owner of the celebrated In
dependence mine at Cripple =, Greek,
which he discovered and developed,
from which he took millions, and which
be finally sold for $11,OOO,OOO in cash,
is now at work on project at Cripple
Greek which, if successful, will make
him the richest man in the world.
He is hunting for the mother lode,
from which all the millions of gold
that have been taken out Of the Grip
pie Greek district have come. If he
finds it, the word millions will be in
adequate to describe his wealth, and
nothing less than billions, and posi-
bly, even a greater term, will do to de-
scribe his treasure.
Mr.. Stratton's theory is that all the
veins of gold that underlie Cripple
Creek, and which constitute the great
mines from which over 100 millions in
gold have been taken in a few years,
converge toward one point. This the
DRY is borne out by the maps of the
district, which show a general dip or
trend Of the veins of gold toward q
common center. Mr.. Stratton has To-
Gated the spot where these veins
should meet, and has bought all the
land over and about it, 600 acres in all.
Now he has big force of men at work

600 to $4,000 month on this work.

The United States raises about $50.
100000 bushels of wheat annually,
which is harvested in the Pacific coast
States in June, in the Middle and New
England States in July, and in Central
and Northern Minnesota and the Da-
kotas in August. About one-ffth of our
wheat is exported, and as "a consider
able portion of the crop is grown in the
Middle and Western States, much of
it has to be moved either by rail or
water to the great market centers. 1t is
impossible in the limits of short arti-
Gle to trace the progress Of wheat from
the farm to the elevators, thence to it's
destination in the Touring mill and to
Its final destination as bread on the
tables of the people. One Of the most
interesting processes Of handling is at
the great elevators either at lake ports
or at the shipping points on the Attain
tic coast The method of handling is
worthy brief description.
The elevators are enormously high
structures. If they were divided into
floors as Office buildings are, thew
would be fifteen or sixteen stories high.
Most Of them have narrow upper Sec
tions only about half as wide as are the
main portions. These higher portions
are used for machinery and grain
transferring devices. so there is no
need for as great width as the lower
floors, where the grain is stored in bins
Some Of the elevators are large enough
to hold 100000 bushels of wheat, or
lSO,WO,OOO pounds. equal to 10000
tons. Yet an elevator full of grain is
handled expeditiously and easily, since

ming and screening mills. Here the air
is filled with the flying dust which es-
capes from the machines, rendering the
place almost unbearable to the man
who isn't used to it. After the cleans
ing process is completed the grain is
once more taken by carriers to the stor-
age bins to await transportation. Long
chutes lead from these storage bins to
the places where cars or boats come to
be loaded. Each chute is movable, and
each leads from a bin to the slip
where the ship is loading.
Minneapolis is the greatest tlour-mak-
ing center in the United States. 1t is
said that 100000 people could be fed
each day with bread made from Min
neapolis -four without increasing the
present daily output Of the mills. In
1899 these mills ground over 6O,OOO,OOO
bushels Of wheat. This represented the
product Of $4,000 farms of 100 acres

1t is a fact beyond dispute, as all
the mining men of Cripple Greek know,
that practically all the big veins of the
Cripple Greek district run into Mr..
STATIONS territory. The indications
are that many Of these veins converge
to common point within his ground.
This would indicate that the great
mother vein. the center from which the
great veins and ore shoots of the dis
trict radiate, Is directly under the
ground owned by Mr.. Stratton.
From the shafts being sunk good
ore is being taken. the different veins
being followed up as they show them
selves.

Buffalo is the great transferring point
Tor the lake trade.
Most Of the elevators are situated
where they can be reached by both wa
ter and rail, for while the heavy re-
ceipts come by rail, the big shipments
so by boat. When trainload of grain
arrives at an elevator the cars to be un-
loaded are backed into the elevator on
a track that runs down the center of
the building: At frequent intervals
along the floor there are trap doors
down which the grain may be emptied.

When Mr.. Paterson, the Australian

very anxious to hear all about a war,

nearly everything is done by machin-
cry or by power driven devices. AS
the movement of grain in the shipping
season is enormously greater than the
capacity Of the elevators, it follows
that the grain is not allowed to remain
long in storage. Train are constantly
backing into elevators and boats pull
Ing up to their sides to take Oh loads of
grain and transport them.
