PLATTSMOUTIl WEEKLY HERALD, THURSDAY, JUNE 2, 1887. KNOTTS BROS Publishers & Proprietors. Strang Uses of Paper. Ouo of the mot remarkable usca of pa per in the building of paper boats, under the patent, recently expired, of K. Wat ers, of Lanaingburg, near Troy, New York. These boats arc made of an ordi nary Manila paper of good quality, usual ly in five thicknesses, in all only one-sixteenth of an inch thick, except in parts where there is the re-enforcement of one or two extra strips. The process of mak ing them is simple. A mold of soft pine is made the full size of the boat, the bow end being of two pieces which can be de tached. The paper is delivered in long rolls; the model is turned upside down on a long frame; one ntirrow Btri) of pa per and then a second are first laid on where the keel would be, and then one, two, three, four, five sheets arc success ively laid adong and moulded close to the model, each as it i3 put on being coated with shellac and with glue to at tach the next sheet closely to it. Thus done up in paper, the models arc taken to a drying-room, where a heat of about 150 P., continued for five days, consol idates the glued paper into a solid mass. The movable pieces of wood at the bow are unscrewed and taken out, and with this place for a btart, it is easy to peel the boat off the model, as a peach-skin comes off a fresh peach. A keel is now fastened inside the boat, several extra layers of shellac are put on outside and inside, a strip of wood if fastened in for a gunwale, and the shell is presently ready for its fittings, scats, and outrig gers. They are mostly racing shells, from single-scull up to eight-oar, but one bout lias been built as large as 42 feet long by 4 feet 4 inches beam, to hold for ty-two persons, this, of course, being stay ed by wooden rips; and a steam-launch 19 feet long, worked by a one-horse-power oil engine, boat and engine together weighing but 430 pounds, was last fall successfully run at a speed of about ten miles per hour on the upper Hudson. TLe cost is something above that of wood. The single-scull, 21 1 feet long by 10 inches beam, costs from $G3 to $100; the eicht-oared shell, about 60 feet long "by 24 inches wide, costs $400. It is an interesting fact that the racing shells of ITarvanl, Yale, and Columbia in 18SG were all from the same model from this shop, so that the contest was entirely one of skill on even terms. . . . Not ouly is travelling by water indebt ed to paper, but travelling by land. A pa per car wheel seems even more a contra diction of terms than a paper boat, yet it is now generally acknowledged to be better, suffer, and longer-liyed than one altogether metal. It -was the invention of Richard N. Allen, a locomotive engi neer, afterward master-mechanic of the Cleveland and Toledo Railroad, who took for his aim in life the production of a better car wheel than those in use. His first set of paper wheels was made at Brandon, Vermont, in 1869, and after much scoffing he was graciously permit ted the use of a wood-car on the Central Vermont road, under which they were tested for six months. The'Pullman Pal ace Car Company in 1871 gave the first order for a hundred wheels; ten years af ter, the Allen Paper Car-wheel Company, with great shops at Hudson, New York, and Pullman, Illinois, produced and sold thirteen thousand in a single year. One of the set first experimented with under a "sleeper" is shown at Hudson, with a re cord of 300,000 miles' travel. It is the body of the wheel only which is of paper. The material is a calender ed rye-straw "board"or thick paper made at the Allen Company's Mills at Morris, Illiniois. This is sent to the works in cir cular sheets of twenty-two to forty inches diameter. Two men, standing by a pile of these, rapidly brush over each sheet an even coating -of flour paste until a dozen are pasted into a layer. A third man transfers these layers to a hydraulic press, where a pressure of five hundred tons or more is applied to a pile of them, the layers being kept distinct by the absence of paste between the outer sheets. After solidifying under this pressure for two hours, the twelve-sheet layers are kept for a week in a drying-room heated to 120 P.; several of these' layers are in turn pasted together, pressed, and dried for a second week, and still again these disks are pasted, pressed, and given t third drying of a whole month. The re suit is a circular block, containing from 120 to 100 sheets of the original paper, compressed to 5 or 4 inches thickness, and of a solidity, density, and weight eucestinir metal rather than fibre. The "paper wheel" is made up of this disk of compressed paper, surrounded by a steel tire, and fitted with a cast-iron hub, which is bored for the axle; wrought iron plates protect the paper disk on eith ' cr side, and all are bolted together by two circles of bolts, one set passing through a flaDge of the tire, the other through a flange of the hub, and both through the paper centre and its protect ing plates. .. . The real service of the paper is in in terposing a non-vibrating substance be tween the axle and tire, bo that the vi brations, which in some unknown way rearrange the atoms of metal so that it rittles and breaks after long wear, are prevented. Nature always provides some way of wearing things out, whether it bo man, lest he lag euperfluoi s on the stage, or "the everlasting hills" them selves, but in the case of compressed p;i- er, art seems to have got ahead of nature, for it seems not to wear out at all. The steel tires of these wheels do wear down, and are then re-turned in a lathe to smal- er diameter; but when they are gone and taken off, the paper blocks appear again as good a& new, and ready for a new tire. The paper wheel has the one disadvantage of greater cost, but its longer life and greater safety are in its favor. "Straw lumber," so called, is a similar application of paper for building purpos es; it is used, not for posts and beams, but in place of luth and plaster, for sheatiug, etc. An ordinary, "straw- oard" paper is made on the cylinder machine the refuse bedding of ttiibles btinj very largely utilized us the mater- d and is run through a vat of resin and other water-proving meterial heated to 350,.. P. A number of sheets arc then placed together between metal plates, aud subjected like the car wheels to euor- nous pressure in a hydraulic press. The result is a very hard and solid blackish loard. about three-sixteenths of an inch thick, which can be cut with a saw or chisel, and is marketed in slabs 12 feet by 32 inches, ata pricejof about $40 per thousand feet. Tiiis is now in use also for the interior of railway cars and for perforated chair seats. "Building paper" of the ordinary sort is a coarse paper of straw or waste used for sheathing or lin ing wooden houses. It was put to good use immediately after the Chicago fire, when a "Western paper company lined the 10,000 houses, 1G bv 20, which were run up to accommodate the homeless, with material, at a cost of $5 for each house. I he non-conducting quality of paper has caused a curious development in America of the paper-box industry, so that the lover of oysters may "take home a fry in a box" to keep it hot, or a brick of ice-cream to keep it cool. The Chinese and Japanese are said to make paper clothes, and their handkerchiefs and nap kins are well known to us, but American achievements in this direction have been confined chiefly to paper collars, cuff: and "bosoms." sometimes with a backing of cloth, which may be pasted on after making, but which is conjoined with the paper at some mills by reeling the cloth off parallel with the web of paper, and pressing the two permanently together between the rollers. The use of paper bags and paper boxes by shopkeepers has reached enormous proportions, and the latest product of American ingenuity is a "self opening bag," completed automat ically from the web of Manila paper by a machine on which its owners had been at work for eight years. This is folded fiat as it comes from the machine, but a single dexterous flap with the hand opens it in to an absolutely souare-cornered ban which will stand upricht on the crocers counter to be filled. Paper buckets, bar rels, and other household utensils are either made by joining the edges of a flat sheet into a cylinder, or by stamping out the form from paper pulp, which last was the basis of Wit papier-mache of old davs. which was moulded Eoft into the desircd.shape, coated with successive lay ers of asphalt Tarnish, and polished down. Paper pulp is also used, in one process of stereotyping to make a matrix for the tvpe-metal. It. K. Jjowkek, in Harper's Magazine for June. Enjoy Life. "What a truly beautiful world we live in! Nature gives us grandeur of mount ains, glens and oceans, and thousands of means of eniovment.
