Russian slaughter in the desperate bat
tie that has ragged for the past week

allure summer and winter. This IS ac-
complishment by means OF steam coils
in winter and by perhaps the most
elaborate system OF ventilation i'm the
United States. with the possible ex-
oeption of rooms in the government
bureau of standards.
Experiments covering a period Of
years were made with different gums,
and 1t was a long time before the
chemists were successful. They finally
evolved a composition which fills the
bill, and since 1t has been used little
complaint has been heard as to the
adhesive quality of postage stamps.
The basic constituent of this gum,
which the government manufactures,
is cassava starch. IL contains nothing
that Is deleterious to health, and, in
fact, is pronounced almost good
enough to eat" 1t is manufactured
with great care and cleanliness.
The method of applying the gum to
the stamp sheets II entirely mechani-
cal except in the counting. The sheets
are fed into hopper, where they pass
between rollers, the lower set of which
revolve In a vat OF melted gum. This
vat is directly over a heater which Is
regulated automatically with seien-
tific accuracy.
stamps Turned out Dry.
over these gum rollers the stamps
pass on a continuous chain, which car
ries them through wooden compart-
ments heated by hot water pipes.
When the sheets emerge the gum Is
dry and they are ready for the coun-
ter.
The thickness OF the coating OF the
gum is a matter which Is also deter
mined TO a nicely. IL is regulated with
regard to atmospheric conditions in the
territory where the stamps are TO be
placed on sale, For example, stamps
which go to the humid and hot climate
of the Gulf states are 30 gummed as
10 prevent them from sticking togeth-
err. A different cumming process is
employed for the stamps sent TO the
dry and cold Northern ATTITUDES.
When the stamp sheets are printed,
aired and gummed they are placed un-
der hydraulic pressure. They are
stacked In a press In piles OF 1000
sheets and a pressure exerted OF about
forty or fifty pounds per square zach.
The sheets are then perforated, cut up
into blocks OF 100 stamps, sent TO the
shipping room, and are then ready for
distribution.
Meets Outside Competition.
The government has been printing its
own postage stamps since 1894. Pre-
vious TO that year the work was done
under contract. Under the present sys-
tenn the Bureau OF Engraving and
Printing must compete for the work
with private companies. Last year the
competition was lively and the bureau
won on small margin.
