SPORTING NOTES.

EPSOM, THURSDAY.

Although The Wizard, my sole representative
for the blue riband, ran second, the readers can have
no great cause to regret my choke. ' The following
prediction I gave in The Sun on April 10, when
The Wizard was at 14 to 1 :—" Umpire, who for a
long time was under suspicion, has pleased the cog-
noscenti so well that he has been again installed first
favourite for the Derby; but I would advise the
readers of The Sun not to touch him except
for hedging purposes. He is an overrated horse, and
ought to be among the 40 to 1 division. The horse
that will most likely win the Derby of 18G0 is the
Wizard."

From the foregoing remarks it will be seen that
my opinion of the Yankee horse has been fully
realised. 11-. Merry has landed an immense stake
over Thormanby, who wen easily. For the Oaks
I shall expect to see RUPEE and SECLUSION first
and second. John Scott will supply the third with
either Viatka or Sagitta.

A FRESHMAN.

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

The manufacture of paper from other materials
than rags is, more than ever, an important ques-
tion of the day. Straw paper cannot yet be said
to have attained the superior qualities of rag-paper ;
it is, indeed, deficient in many respects, more espe-
cially by its brittleness. Dr. Reissig has, however,
lately published, in the German papers, the whole
details of a process he employs, or has employed,
with success, and by which very good paper is
produced from straw. I have always thought that
the straw paper manufactured up to the present
day owed its inferiority to want of care, and too
great rapidity .in its preparation. Dr. Reissig
seems aware of this :—The first operation consists
of cleansing the straw and freeing it from the stalks
of any other plants, which are generally very diffi-
cult to bleach. It is then cut up into fragments,
about one-third of an inch in length. The knots
are separated from the other portions of the stalk
by means of a fan, and the latter are submitted for
some time to the action of steam, to dissolve out all
the extractive matter; this operation is continued
as long as the water which condenses is coloured,
and until the straw is quite soft. The operation is
accelerated by the addition of about 10 per cent.
of caustic lime. Dr. Reissig says that superheated
steam gives the most satisfactory results. The
straw is then placed in a boiler and submitted to
the action of 121 b. to 161 b. of carbonate of potash
in solution to every ton of straw (experiments ap-
pear to show that soda does not act so well).
After boiling for some hours, the potash solution
having dissolved the silica of the stalk and various
other matters, is separated, and the straw, which has
now become soft and flexible, well washed and
carried to a mill, where it is transformed into pulp.
When the action of tha potash solution takes place
under a pressure superior to that of the atmosphere
comparatively small proportions of alkali readily
dissolve out all the silica from the straw. The
pulp obtained is transferred to wooden troughs,
and to it are added 4 or 5 per cent. (of the weight of
pulp) of sulphuric or hydrochloric acid. The
action of the acid must be allowed to continue for
many hours, as it takes a long time to mix with
the water contained in the pulp. The acid water
is then drawn off, and can be employed in the sub-
sequent operations. The bleaching material is
then added ; it consists of hypoahlorite of magne-
sia, obtained by precipitating 1 part of chloride of
lime dissolved in 12 parts of water, by 2 parts of
sulphate of magnesia dissolved in 12 parts of water.
Ile sulphate of lime is allowed to deposit, and the
hypochlorite of magnesia carefully decanted off.
In two or three hours the pulp is completely
whitened. It is then washed with care, and any
free chlorine it may contain absorbed by sulphite
of soda. A last washing now takes place, after
which the pulp is divided, sized, and submitted to
the paper machines.—The Photographic News.
