HATTINO IN 1853.
A Sketch That Wan Printed in s’Naw-
town ‘Papor of That Time.
The Newtown Bee reproduces an ar-
ticle on halting that was printed in the
Newtown Acatlemican of 1853. it lol-
Iowm -
t Hailing is marked among the manu-
.factures of the day and sometimes of
itho night. as my experience proves
Lhaving worked at once branch of the
business, at one time, three nights in
.uucccssiou. from six at ‘nlght until six
;iu the morning. But I am not going
110 tell my experience.
For the bent-lit of the curious I shall
try and describe the process of batting.
The wool is, generally speaking; first
washed. It Is then carded. The card-
ing machine consists in tact of'two mu‘
chines, called the. front and the buck
‘ machine. The front one consists of a
main cylinder. a tioffer. four stoppers
and four workers. The back machine
is the same with the addition of a tour
bier, a burr machine. a fly. and a feed
roll and table. On this table. which is
about three. feet long. is a cloth continu-
ally revolving by means of rollers. over
which it is stretched. 0n the cloth is
stretched the wool. which is first pick-V
ed; This is done by machinery. As
the cloth is carridd around the Wool is
drawn into the machine by the feed
roll. The burr machine. takes the wool
from the feed roll, then it passes to the
tumbler. thence to strippers. from the
strippers to the main cylinder, thence
to the tlrst tloffer. From the second
dofi'er the wool is taken off by the
comb i a very thin web. The comb
is a bi tie like a saw, only not as wide.
with teeth out in the edge in the same
way. The comb is of the same length
as the doffer and runs parrailetl to it.
As I said before. the wool is taken
from the tioffer in a very thin web, and
is carried on the former. This is an-
other machine hy which the hats are
formeti. This consists of tour rollers
tapering. and placed in pairs. and
slanting in the form of a trough. On
these rollers is placed a double cone.
or two cones placed base to base. This
double cone is made to revolve by the
revolving of the rollers although its
motion is in contrary direction: but at
with-that of the Web: consequently as
the cone revolves. the web it! wound on.
and thus is formed a hat. The former
has also a semi—circular motion.
When the bats are heavy enough.
they are cut off; that is they are cut
at the bases of the two cones; consc-
quontly two hats are cut off at the
same time. This cutting off of the
hats is as the. hands say guess work
that is In regard to the Weight of the
hats. They are then weighed. turned
and the edges trimmed. The weight
of a hat varies from two to four ounces.
They are now ready to be hardened.
I will not attempt to describe this pro
cess. fearing that i should be unable
to give you a clear idea of it.
stopped oil. or a thin web of mm

The next thing is to size the hats.
This is done by dipping the hats in hot
water and working them until they
are reduced to a certain size: They
are then blocked, or shaped or wash-
ed. dyed. blocked again. stiffened and
, They are now to be packed
and are then ready for market.

to give you some idea of batting. but
if you wish to understand perfectly
how the thing is done. you must look

A son of the late Major Wade-

says that it was his father who, as a
lieutenant. fired the first gun. a signal
gun‘, at the attack on Fort, Sumter.
Charleston Harbor. on the morning
of April 12. 1861. lie writes: "At
Lieutenant Gibbc's battery the signal
gun was aimed to burst a shell high in
the air: another gun was carefully nim-
cd at the fort; and the wires were laid
ready to explode a mine under an old
house in the way. As nearly as pos-
sible these things Were done simul-
taneously. Now. which of the three
shots fired at the fort from tho tlirca
separate mortar batteries by Captain
James, Mr. Rumn or Llctttenant (lib-
bc’s battery was the second shot no
man may certainly say."—-Charlcston
