Hilt the woo.l pu':p fibre also solve.! another diihi-i'.lty for the printer, for theretofore the speed of printing presses was limited, caused by the slow dryins of the inks on paper innde of rnsrs, while tiie trade soon discovered that paper maio of ground wo.wl had exeelleiit absorbing and dryiiiff qualities, and .-wn thereafter the printing press man-iif;i'.-ti:rers were putting their minds and energies to work to develop the iiih speed press, and now the modern :oiibI' o-tiii.!e press will print TLVM) i'l-pace papers per li'iur. America's First Mill. Tlte idea of making paper from wood originated in Germany in the early forties with Gottfried Keller, tradition having it tint he in turn received his

inspiration from a wasps' tiet. Keller eollaborHted with a mamifaeturer of machinery , Ileinrieh Voelter, in whose name the patents were executed. It whs not until is!d that the possibilities of this Invention in this country were recognized, when Aibreeht and Kudoif I'atfensfeeher induced their cousin Alberto l'airensteoher to build a mill in this country, and financed the purchase of the necessary machinery and the building of a mill. The choice of location fell to Ourtisviile, where the outlet of Stockbridge I'.owl seemed to supply an adequate amount of power. The mill was built and on March oth. 3m'7, the first ground wood pulp was prod lie ed. Wellington Smith, Pioneer. Then another difficulty arose, namely the selling of the product. Taper manufacturers were either strondy opposed to or extremely pessimistic of the papermaking qualifies of wood fibre. When one very large manufacturer was approached be curtly answered "Sir, we don't use shoddy." Finally, however, Wellington Smith, who owned a mill near CurtisviUe, at I.ee, agreed to buy a lot as an experiment, and to Wellington Smith is due the credit of having made the first paper out of wood pulp. This pulp wa Invoiced at eight cenfs a pound, while the normal price today of pulp is under one cent per pound, and

of ground wood pulp i although the improver

news priu' paper, then selling at fourteen cents a pound was reduced to two cents. It Is furthermore remarkable that in t!;- ti.'ty intervening ears no substantial change in the manufacture

has leen made.

j the grinder has naturally increased its I eflicjeriry and production. j Cradle of an Industry. j Once the practicability of this new

fibre had been demonstrated, the interest in it became general and the industry developed by leaps and bounds. The l'agei,. -.tochers, of whom Aibreeht I'ngonsteeher is the sole surviving member and still largely interested in many paper-mill enterprises, lmmedi ately built a second and somewhat hi filer icill at I.u.erne. N. y and in W,j acquired tin- water power a; rainier Kalis, where they built what was to be for many years and is today, with but one exception, the largest miil in this count r. Tittle remains of the CurtisviUe plant. The power was soon found to be totally inadequate, and the mill was eventually dismantled. I'.nt mo. torists traveling from Stockbridge to I.enox can stid see, when passing through Intoriakon, :i square pile of stone on the right hand, a.l that remains of the cr.-idle of an industry destined to become not only one of the largest but also one of the most Inportant in this country.
