PAPER FROM WooD.-The great demand
for paper outruns the supply of rags, even
those that are imported for the manufacture
Of the article. The books say that paper
can be prepared from the wood of various
trees, but except from two sources in Eng
land and one in France, and they not pro-
ducing a good article, it has not ever been
done until now. We are on the eve ofsuc-
cessfuliy producing such. We have spcci-
mems Of good writing paper--not as good as
the best, for tie means of working up the
material are not what they will be-made of
the fibres Of hickory or the cotton poplar, of
white pine and Of cane-brake. The materi.
al is cut first Of proper length, then treat
ed alternately with diluted acids and aka
lies, WASHED, broken between rollers bleach
ed, and thus prepared to be worked up
Thunder the microscope, the ultimate fibres'
appear broken, as sometimes happens from
using the great mechanical violence. or II
they are made too tender by too great strength
Of either acid or alkali, the specimen is faul-
ty. These processes are mostly in the hands
Of practical unScicntific men. The assistance
Of practical scientific man at the mills
would save much time, expense, and the
modification Of experimenting to discover
facts already well known to science. In
deed, the struggles of unsuccessful inven-
tors would be much lessened in number and
in their melancholy results, if inventors
would study The general features of the sci.
ences in whose details they generally are
the most skillrll

LYING IN BED WITH THE HEAD HIGu.-
1t is often question among people who are
acquainted with the anatomy and physiology
OF man, whether lying with the head exalted
or even with the body, was most wholesome.
Most consulting their own ease on this
point, argue in favor of that which they pre-.
fer. Now although many delight in bolster
ing up their heads at night, and sleep SCUM
dly without injury, yet we declare it to be
a dangerous habit. The vessels through
which the blood passes from the heart to
the head, are always lessened in their cav
tiles when the head is resting in bed higher
than the body, therefore in all diseases at
tended with fever, the head should be pref
ty nearly on level with the body; the peo
pie ought to accustom themselves 10 sleep
thus to avoid danger Medical Journal.
