PULP FOR PAPER.
It l« Now Mainly Obtained From Wood
and Vegetable Fibers.
Paper derives its name from (lie fact
that it was originally made by the
Egyptians from pupyrus, a rushlike
plant formerly ronimon in Egypt along
the Nile. Today paper is largely made
from vegetable libers and cellulose.
When it was and that the libers
of the cotton anT ax plants were besi
adapted for making paper and the
uses of paper were few the ragman
did a flourishing business in buying
old rags to keep the paper manufac
turers supplied with raw material.
The rags were first allowed to rot to
remove ttie substances lie-rusting the
cellulose and were then beaten fat© a
pulp to which water was added. The
pulp was then placed in a sieve and
drained and subjected to heavy pees
sure whfi-h united the fibers and pro
duced paper. By the modern met Nod
the rags are boiled with caustic soda
which separates the cellulose fibers,
and placed in a machine in which roll
ers set with knives tear the rags to
pieces and mix them with water to
make a pulp. This pti!p Is bleached
willi chloride of lime and mixed wit!’
alum and a kind of soap to give i
smooth surface.
The way man’s discoveries ©pc-ratt
to supply his needs in the progress o!
civilization is notably illustrated in the
production of paper. T'niTer the ok!
method the big supply reipiired todaj
for newspapers and other uses could
not have been produced.
The discovery that pulp could be
made from the trunks and limbs of
trees eanre to the rescue, ft was found
that by boiling w<*od shavings in
strong solutions of caustic soda in re
ccptacles that would withstand very
high pressure the wood fibers wen
separated and a very good quality of
cellulose for paper manufacture pro
duced. As a result of this discovery
paper today is mostly made of wood. -

Rodin and Hia Modal*.
It is one of tli«» |>ecnliaritios of M
Rodin, the (amum sculptor, that lit*
never i*ones a model. When a model
enters his studio lie engages her In
conversation u]Htn a subject foreign to
art and thus encourages her to forget
herself. Meanwhile his attention ap
pears to lie engrossed elsewhere, hut
lie Is watching her keenly. When the
model unconsciously assumes a pose
or an expression which he believes
would lie effective he bids her hold
that potdlion. while he sets to work.
By this method he believes he avoids
stilted and studied poses.

Tame Silk.
There Is more silk in the world than
the silkworm ever knew. As a matter
of fa'-t. much of the “silk'' which fc*
worn is merely guncotton In a new
dress. It Is merely cotton dissolved in
a bath of nitric acid, kept water free
by the strongest vitriol. The Jelly
like result is then forced through very
minute tulies. and (he tine threads so
produced are dropped Into water and
rendered innocuous by ammonium sul
phide. This "tame sHk” has a fine lus
ter anil has all the flexibility of the
worms' work In fact, so close is the
resemblance that it needs an expert
to distinguish them.—London Chroni

She Liked Cloom.
It is a matter for thankfulness that
widows of this generation are more
sensible than the dowager Countess of
Buchan, who passed away in the year
1786.
On the death of her husband she
dressed herself entirely in black crape,
engaged two black servants to wait
upon her, ate nothing but black pud
dings and drank for one whole year
nothing hut black cherry brandy. Yet
she survived this gloomy diet twenty
one years before the grim reaper gath
ered her in.—T. P.'s London Weekly.
Diplomacy.
“It takes diplomacy to get on with a
