Pie-Making by Machinery.

Another severe blow tor the arts
and crafts has resulted from the
arrival in Philadelphia of the pie
making machine. 1t has always
been supposed that making pies
was work for human fingers.
Despite the inroads of machinery
on the crafts, the pie artisan has
stood alone, untouched by modern
inventiveness. 1t was thought
that a pie was too complicated
and individual a creation ever to
be produced by brainless mixers
and tfiminers and stampers.
Now comes this pie making
machine to standardize the pie
and destroy its individuality and
then to multiply and cheaper 1t.
One man, three boys, and the
machine turn out from sixteen to
eighteen pies minute, in the
Philadelphia bakery where the
pioneer machine has been installed.
The inventor describes his con-
trivance as boon to the human
race, about 10 feet long and 70
inches wide. An electric motor
furnishes power and gas jet
keeps the forming dies warm.
Over the machine is suspended a
tank with filling for 400 pies and
in it an agitator revolves to keep
the material from blocking the
outlet.
After the paste for crusts has
been properly mixed it is weighed
and cut into proper-slzed pieces
by dough divider. A tray full
of Jumps of dough for bottom
crusts is placed at one end of the
machine and another tray, con-
tanning Jumps for top crusts, at
the other end. At the rear is a
stack of plates automatically fed
by ratchet. A magnetlzed arm
swings around, picks up plate
and places it on a die made to
receive it. A piece of dough is
placed on the plate and the next
movement brings it under die
which forms the lower crust
Then the fruit is deposited from
the tank and the plate moves
forward. By this time another

lump of dough has been fattened

lump of dough has been f1attened
out and stamped with an initial
such as IL, for lemon-while an
automatic bellows blows a puff OF
flour over the dough to keep it
from sticking. The next move
ment brings the filled pie and
this upper crust together, one
operator being stationed here to
adjust the top cover if necessary.
Then the covered pie comes
under the edging die, which cuts
off all scraps, and the pie passes
forward on an apron which leads
to the oven.
So the process goes on with all
regularity until 400 pies are lined
up. They are all pertect-too
perfect, perhaps. They are ma
chine made, and no contaminat-

MONEY TURNED TO DUST

HE money counters in the United
States treasury were startled one
day by the appearance of a re-
markable looking fat man who en-
tered the department and told a
strange tale. relates the. Chicago
Chronicle. He said he was an Ohio
farmer and did not believe in banks
and SO had buried his money in the
ground for safe keeping. He had dug
it up and was horrified to find that It
was slowly turning to dust, as notes
will when long buried.
Panic-stricken he gathered the dis
integrated money into an old pillow
case. bound it around his waist beneath
his clothes and started for Washing
ton.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1905-05-19

He travelled part of the way on
horseback. part of the way on an Ohio
River steamboat and part of the way
was by train. During the journey he
never once took off the pillow case He
even slept with it on. The officials of
the Treasury Department found it diff
ficult TO make him part with it. He
did not want to go with a clerk to 4
hotel for fear the clerk might rob him,
but as it was manifestly impossible
for him TO disrobe in the office he had
finally to submit
They got the money at last and the
condition of it was so bad that Mrs.
Leonard. an expert. had to be called to
decipher 1t. So great was her skill that
the farmer lost only a few hundred
dollars out of $4,000.
