MANUFACTURE OF PAPER.
filedern Devices Hare Completely
tterolnttnaized the Work.
Improved methods in machinery and
the great change ha the character of
materials used has had an Important
bearing upon the printing art , says the
Scientific American. In the earliest
luilla established ha this country , the
raw fiber , after bein < r prepared ha the
beating machine , was formed into a
sheet In a mold or wire sieve which
was dipped from the pulp vat by hand ,
t'ho water drained off and tire pulp
left Lu a wet sheet In the mold. Tha
sheets so made were turned out upon
a felt press and then dried by exposing
to the air in single sheets. Such mil t
were small and their output limited.
Strictly hand made paper to-day Is a
rarity , although it exists.
By the old of the Fourdrluler ma
chine the transformation of the fluid
to stock or finished paper is made an
automatic operation. The pulp is
screened from the vat over an apron
to a moving endless wire cloth made
closely woven fine brass wire and / .
ported by a series of small C < ital
rolls set close together , yet without
touching each other. In this way an
even surf aceof the wire oloth Ls main
tained and by preserving an unvarying
flow of the pulp and a constant for
ward motion of the wlro cloth , the
tkickness of the layer of pulp deposited
Is kept uniform. By lateral motion oi
the supporting rolls the fibers are
caused to interlace In various directions
and grlve greater transverse strength
to the texture.
As the pulp is carried along on the
wire cloth much of the water drains
through , leaving the fiber on the rnesb
OSL This first drying is usually hastei >
ed by various devices and the moist
web Is carried between rolls which or
covered with woolen felt and theii
taken from the wire cloth on enileas
woolen felts which pass it between
rolls and then to driers. These ar
large metal cylinders heated by steam ,
The paper has now acquired consider *
able strength. The water frfl * beeii
evaporated and the heated cylinders
complete the drying process. The pa
per is then given a smooth surface by i
the calender rolls , which are smooth-
faced , heavy metal rollers. Finally tha
finished paper is reeled off in rolls and
cut into sheets of the desired size. A
large paper mill will make 250 tons
of finished paper a day. The inosl
modern machinery turns out a contin
uous web of finished paper at the rate
of 500 feet a minute. The raw ma
terial of wood pulp Is spruce , poplar ;
and In smaller quantities various othei
woods are employed. Wood pulp haste
to a great extent superseded the usd
of rags and entirely so in the manufac
ture of news paper. The blocks of
Wood are pressed hydraulically against
( the edge of a rapidly revo'ving grind
stone and by attrition reduced to a
mushy consistency.
There is also a chemical process of
making wood pulp which Is largely
used. The merchantable shape of lha
fiber differs somewhat. Ground wood
pulp is ordinarily sold In folded sheets
only partially dry , and is. therefore , i
under common conultl ns , only suitable i
for use near the locality of its manu
facture , Its weight boiiig so increased
by the water as to preclude the profitable - ,
able tran.-por ntion of sr. , h a low-triced |
product There are 7G3 paper making
plants In the United States and tha
total capital Is $107,507,713 , giving em
ployment to 6-llSG persons. The to.al
cost of the materials used was $70-
530.236 in 19CO. The total value of the
products was $127,320,162 and the total

RUSSIA MEANT WAR
JAPAN THINKS PROTEST COMES
WITH POOR GRACE.
formal Declaration Not Ne ny :
View of UretUtiagr Off of
All IlftatlonB Before
Sti iking Blovr.
WASHINGTON. Tbe Japanese
minister tonight gave out tbe oOlc.ial
reply of bis government to the note
ot Russia to the powers , charging
the Japanese with opening hostili
ties without a formal declaration of
war. The reply deals at great
t -ngth with Russia's preparations
for war in the far east while diplo
matic negotiations were being de-
lived by that government , and con
tends that the responsibility rests
i itb Russia. The document says ,
after summing uo all the Russian
military and naval preparation made
Bud in contemplation :
lljn view of these facts who can
Bay that Rissla bad no warlilke in
tentions or that she was unpreoared
lor war ? Seeing that tbe situation
had become so critical that it ad
mitted of no furtbur delay , the
Japanese government as compelled
to break off negotiation- * that had
proved abortive and to take the nec-
e -sary steps fur selr-protectitin.
But- the responsibiity for the chal
lenge to war rests not with Japan
but snlaly with Russia.
"On the 6tb of February Japan
announced to Russia her decision to
terminate the pending negotiations
and to take such independent actoin
as she miubt deem best to deferd
her position menaced by Russia and
to protect ber established lights and
legitimate interests. At the same
time tbe government of Japan m-
f -rmed tbe Russian tiO"erniuent that
as its moderate aud unselfish pio-
posals in the interest of a firm and
lasting peace in tbe far east had not
received the consideration which
was their due , Japan had resolved
to serve her diplomatic relations
with Russia , which for the reason
named , had ceased to posses value ,
and to withdraw Irom her legation.
"The term 'independent action1
naturally included the opening ol
hostilities. The fact that Russia
was unable to understiud it in that
light is , of couise no reason win
J ipan should be held responsible for
the misinterpretation made by Rus
sia. It is the almost } unanimous
opinion of internal jurists that a
derivation of war is no. an ind.s-
peusible prereqii site to the opening
of h stilities. ludeed ic has been
tiie common practice in recent v\ars
to declare war after hosnliti-s had
re.'uo. Japan's action therefore is
not open to the least criticism in
tiiis regard. From the stanipoint
of internati nal law it must be und - ;
d istood that the charge made
!
uuaiiist her do s not come with g(0 ( l
grace from Russia in as much as the e
are not only mmy historical iii-
st.inms of R ssia heiself risorting to
hostilities without declaring war ,
bi.l one came , tnac of her iuvasi n
of Finland iu 1808 , when sue began
war before there had even been a
rupture ol d plumitic relations. "
