Postage Stamp Gum.

Every time person ticks United
States postage stamp he gets taste
Of sweet potato. The gum with which
the stamps are backed Is made from
that succulent vegetable because Uncle
Sans lieutenants consider 1t the most
harmless. preparation of the sort. All
Of the gum used on American postage
stamps Is mixed by the government at
the bureau Of engraving and printing,
where the stamps are made. 1t is
spread on the sheets after the stamps
have been printed. The gum, in
liquid form, is forced up through pipes
from the basement. where it is made.
These pipes lead to series Of ma
chimes consisting of rollers, between
which the sheets Of stamps are fed, one
at time. A continuous fine stream
Of the liquid gum falls upon one of
these rollers. The sheet with its wet
coating Of sweet potato mucilage passes
from the rollers into long horizontal
fue filed with hot air. When II
energies at the other end Of the fue
the gum is dry.-New York Telegram.

The Palissdes

To see New York city from the PAIL
sades is to witness the multiple beau
ty and wonder Of the Palisades them
selves. One Of the most astonishing
facts concerning these towering
masses Of grandeur is that they lie SO
close to the most artificial, man sub
jugated area that civilization has
evolved, writes Philip verrill Mighels
in Harper's Magazine. To come upon
the Palisades from the rear at night
is like stepping to the edge of the
world. where the slender, dark island
lies low beyond as If 1t were only
a part of space. its countless lights
looking like millions of stars stretched
for miles across the sky. The illu-
sion is dispelled when the wind flows
up with the tide to the base of the
cliffs and lifts up the full throated
roar Of the substantial city.
