OF CORN HUsKs AND CARPET.
Two Grinding wheel. Used for Pol

| TWO Grinding Wheels Used for Pol
ishing the Teeth of the Combs.
| There are many kinds of grinding
wheels, but, perhaps, as curious as any
IS THE cornhusk wheel, which is used
for grinding combs.
Inc teeth OF some sorts Of combs,
T+ter they have been cut, still need to be
be rounded on the ledges and smoothed
and finished all AROUND, which could
not be done on a sef1d. fiat-faced wheel,
says the New York Sun. For this there
Is required wheel of some material
that will work around the edges of the
teeth and also in between them. The
corn-husk wheel serves this purpose
we'll.
For the making of such wheel dried
corn husks are used. They are laid to-
gether and tied in little bundles of a
dozen or 50, the butts all at one end
and the points at the other.
The corn-husk grinding wheel is 20
inches In diameter, made up OF such
little bundles of corn husks placed with
their butts against and secured to the
spindle on which the wheel is to turn,
the hus<s radiating from 1t all around.
When n sufficient number of bundles of
husks to form the wheel have thus
been placed against the spindle. the
wheel is compressed, 10 make ii not
solid but compact and give 1t the width
Of face required.
The wheel built up in this way of
corn husks Is mounted and run by pow

stands, with a tray Of combs to be-
ground on table at hand, and one
after another holds the combs against
the wheel. The life of corn husk
grinding wheel Is only four or five
days
Another interesting wheel TO be seen
In the shop where they finish combs is
polishing wheel Of carpet covered
with muslin. This wheel has a smooth
and when In use, fiat rim, which, how
ever, will yield anywhere under pres
sure, and SO when comb is held
against II, this wheel adapts itself
readily to all the combs rounded or
nodded surfaces, and thus can be made
to polish 1t perfectly everywhere,
