cracker has been in use there a few
thousand years. Few people outside OF
China know the method of manufac-
ture. The straw paper is first rolled
by hand around an iron rod, which
varies il size according to the size
of the cracker to be made To COM
piete the rolling a rude machine is
used This consists Of two uprights
supporting an axis, from which is
suspended by two arms a heavy piece
of wood slightly convex on the lower
side. There is just room between this
swinging block and the top of the
table to place the cracker. AS each
layer OF paper is put on by hand the
cracker is placed upon the table and
the suspended weight is drawn over
the roll thus tightening it until no
more can be passed under the weight.
For the small whip cracker the work
man uses for compression instead of
tais machine heavy piece of wood
titted with a handle like that of a car
penter's plane. In filing crackers 200
or 300 are tied together in l. bunch.
Red clay is spread over the end o:
each cracker with punch While
the clay is being tamped in little
water is sprayed on it, which makes
1t pack closer. The powder is poured
in the other. end of the cracker With
the aid of an awl the edge Of the pa.

the cracker and the fuse is inserted
