Application tiled Angustifi, 1884.

I'o czZZ whom it may .SOII/GEFIL:

Be it; known that I, GOLDSBURY I'IARDEN lo.\'1 ,a citizen of the United States, residing at Glens FilllS, New York, have invented eertziin new and useful Improvements in Making .luip from Wood or other Fibrous Material,

dveromsing the expense of ninnnlhetnro and the amount oi power expended, and increasing; its strength :1 nd fiber, thereby inereasi ng; its value; and i do hereby declare than the following is a. i'nll, clear, and exaet description oi the invention, which will enable others skilled in the nrl; to which it appertains to make and nsoihe some.

Heretolore wood pulp has been made prim ripnlly by grinding-n.- slow and expensive proeexsund also by the elmnionl process, which is still more expensive.

The object o! my invention is to nmlce a beta tor iilll'l' than has ever been made by grinding, and (lQllliliSl ihi'eexpenseot the some, by gently rubbing and grinding it, in an ineloseol vessel, and a. ninehine whose parts are ennily adjusted,

with its hearings i'nitside the inclosed part; oi
