Forty years ago, three men by
hardwork could scarcely manufac-
turc 1000 small Sheets Of paper a
day, while now they can produce
10000 in the same time. 1t has
been calculated that if the paper pro-
duced yearly by six machines could
be put together, the sheet would en-
circle the world. Nowhere is paper
so much used as in the United States.
In France, with 35,0OO,OOO of in
habitants only 10000 are produced
yearly, of which on e-seventh is for
expectation, In England, with 2S,-
100000 of inhabitants $4,000 tons
are produced, while in this country
the amount is nearly as great as in
France and England together.
