UNIOIIE MACHINE
WASHES PAPER MONEY
Itilhhng, i'msing, drying and iron
ing a wash whose value varies be
tween five thousand and half a mil
lion dollars, is the daily record at
Unde Sam's money laundry which
has hoe nihainllcd at the subtreasury
building at San Francisco.
This big wash, which consists of
notes of different denominations, is
made possible by the new money
laundry machine—the sixth of its kind
in the United States.
"Formerly all old notes that were
stained or badly soiled from handling,
were destroyed. With the laundry
machine, these note are made to look
as good as new and In each sub
treasury where one has been installed
there is a saving of over three bun
tired dollars a day to the govern
ment.
Brats Rollers Work.
The machine, which is electrically
operated, is a tank three feet wide,
four feet deep and nine feet long. It
is divided Into two compartments, one |
having a capacity of 100 gallons of
water and the other sixty gallons.
The essential features of the ma
chine 'is a series of brass rollers fit
ted closely Jnto the two compart
ments over and between which pass
two endless belts of cotton duck,
fitting snugly together. The soiled
[ notes are placed between these belts
for laundering and carried through
the sixty foot course, receiving slight
rubbing as they pass over the brass j
rollers. Tills rubbing motfinn of the
belts loosens the dirt from the sur
face of the notes. The alternate ab
sorption and squeezing out of the
water from the belts carries off the
dirt.
Washing in Tanks.
The larger of the two tanks con
tains the washing solution which
consists of common resin laundry
soap and a mild, chemical bleach, also
serving as a germicide. After pass
| ing through the wash'ing tank the
notes pass over the belts into the
i rinsing tank, aniV are then carried
to the delivery end of the machine.
They are next conveyed from the first
set of belts to another set which
passes around two heated iron rol
lers where the notes are dried and
ironed flat.
Bills may lie washed without show
ing the slightest signs of fading. The
i washed bills are sterlized and free
from odor. A record of washing 5,000
notes an hour lias been attained by
experts.
The mach'me was designed by Bur
gross Smith of the experimental force
of the bureau of printing and en
graving and was constructed at the
bureau under the direction of .Joseph
K. Italph.
DISASTER ON LOWER RIVER
WILL PROVE VERY COSTLY
TO INSURANCE COMPANIES
A barge loaded with some seventy
five tons of oats and hay besides a !
quantity of furniture which was ho- |
lug transported by the steamer Wash- !
burn to Fairbanks, struck a snag on |
the lower Iditarod river, about twcn- |
ty miles below Dikeman, and sank j
in twenty feet, of water. The feed '
will lie an almost total loss, but most |
of the furiture was salvaged. The
disaster occurred on June fi says the
Iditarod Pioneer.
The Washburn left Iditarod on
June :t. The big shipment of feed
was to relieve a shortage at Kilby and
Fairbanks, and was exported to sup
ply the market until the arrival of
the first boats from the outside. The
furniture was shipped by Joseph H.
Smith of this city for use in his new
hotel at Fairbanks. About twenty
tons of oats was saved by the crew
of the Washburn and taken to Fair
banks. The balance was a total loss.
WHAT TH’ DEUCE
IS' IN IT, BILL?
Sir Stanley Maude, the Mesopotam
ian commander in chief, tells a story
illustrative of the innate sense of
humor of the British soldier.
When he was in Alexandria a cer
tain curio collecting officer prevail
ed upon two privates to move his
effects. They managed everything
save a weighty packing case which
defied their united efforts.
As they paused .to wipe the sweat
from their brows one asked:
"What the deuce is in it, Bill?”
“T’ pyramids,” answered Bill,
promptly.
