The making of postage stamps is one
of the interesting features at the Bur
eau. the various steps necessary in the
manufacture of the little jokers, as
they are sometimes called. being vivid
ly set forth in the following extract
from a paper on she subject prepared
by an official of the Bureau:
THE ordinary postage stamps require
but one printing, and the perfect impress
sions Of these stamps are forwarded
through the remaining processes toward
completion. First. two sheets are
placed back TO back between smooth
press boards. and. in a hydraulic press
are subjected 10 pressure OF 5.OO0pOunds
TO the square inch. which reproduces the
smooth. glossy surface OF the paper
that was lost i'm wetting and printing
They arc then sent TO the cumming
room where gum is placed upon them
by machines especially adapted for that
purpose. These machines are the most
improved cumming machines in the
world, and were devised by employees Of
the bureau The gum is contained in a
fountain very much like the ink foun-
tain of a press. in which is revolved
a glass roller. In revolving in the gum,
the glass roller takes upon its surface
a certain quantity of gum. and when
the sheet is fed under il. this gum is
transferred to the surface Of the sheet.
The sheet is then taken by gTippers
on an endless chain and carried through
a heated box at a temperature of rs
degrees. and in one minute II Is de
livered at the other end OF the box
perfectly dry.
From the cumming room the sheets
go TO the perforating room. where the
large sheets Of 800 stamps. as originally
printed. are cut up into four sheets Of
100 stamps and perforated This Is ac-
COmplished by two sets or machines, one
cutting the sheet lengthWise into two
parts and at the same time making the
perfOratiOns. and the other cutting the
two sheets thus made and at the same
time making the perfOraUons crosswisa

they are pressed by placing the sheets
between mill-boards and passing them
under rotary press OF caIendering ma
chine, similar 10 those used in paper
mills, anC then they are carefully ex-
amined on the back and face, and 81
sheets containing imperfections iu the
gum or in the perfcratio1s are rejected.
The sneets are passed to the counters.
and here the utmost care is exercised
TO secure accuracy Of counts The sheets
are frst counted by one counter and
her count is verified By another. They
are then banded and sealed, the date
and the initials OF the counter being
placed upon the seal, so that In the
event of a shortage being claimed By
postmaster. the persons upon whom the
responsibility rests for such error may
be determined
The stamps are then taken to what is
