The pall Is entirely in one piece and without hoops, so it never leaks or fall, to pieces, besides being lighter by far than any other material from which such vessels could be made. The pro cess of their manufacture Is thus de scribed: The wood, preferably spruce, although any soft, fibrous wood will answer, is first cleared of its bark and cut to a length uniform with the grind stone to lie used, generally sixteen to twenty-four inches. It Is then plaeed against the face of a rapidly revolving grindstone, the grain of the wood be ing in a line with or parallel with the axis of the stone, and a hydraulic or worm screw piston keeping the wood constantly pressed against the stone. The result which is washed off the stone by a shower of water, after being screened of slivers and sawdust ia a milky-white liquid. With the water suuieiently extracted this is the wood pulp Died in the manufacture of paper and indurated fiber ware. The process of manufacture of ware from the polp is exceedingly simple, and is similar in all the lines made by the company. Ia making a pail, for instance, the ma chine for first molding the pail from the pulp is provided with a hollow per forated form of cast iron, shaped like the inside of a pail,' and covered first with perforated brass and then with fine wire cloth. This form, worked by a hydraulic piston. i pushed op into a large cast iron "hat," which fits over it very tightly. Within this hat is placed a flexible robber bag, and between this and the inner form first mentioned is admitted the palp. still in a liquid state. The pulp being pumped m under pressor, the water immediately begins to drain off through the wire cloth and perforations, and tho rubber bag favelfs nntil it fills the hat The supply of pulp is then shot off. and water under high pressure ia admitted within the hat and outside the rubber bag. thus squeezing much of the water from the palp. . After standing some eight to ten minutes the pressure ia shnt off, the inner form lowered, and the pulp pail removed. At this stage the pail is still nearly fifty per cent water, but is sufficiently strong to allow handling. This water is firt all dried out ia dry kilns, and then the pail is turned off on the out side with a gang of saws. After sand papering inside and ont the pail la ready for the treatment house, where it is charged with a water-proofing com ponnd which permeates thoroughly the material of which the pail ia made. Baking in ovens at a high temperature succeeds each dip or treatment The polish which the roods present is de scribed as being the result of the final treatment After this the handles are riveted on the goods, which are then ready for the market Railway Berien.
