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.

"What a truly beautiful world we live
in! Nature gives us grandeur of mount
ains, glens and oceans, and thousands of
means of eniovment. Wc can desire no
better when in perfect health; but how
often do the majority of people feel like
giving it up disheartened, discouraged
and worn out with disease, when there is
no occasion for this feeling, as every suf
ferer can easily obtain satisfactory proof,
that Green's Auqust Flower will make
them free from disease as when born.
