The NEW KIND OF PAPER-It appears that
the parchment paper" recently invented by
Mr.. Game, of England, is soon to be manufac-
tured and brought into general use According
to the London Mechanics Magazines report on
this matter. and which is remarked upon nm
provingly by the Scientific American, Mr.. Gaine
instituted a series of experiments to discover
the effects of acids Of different degrees of strength
upon vegetable fibre; and he succeeded in dis
covering that when paper is exposed to a mix
ture OF two parts concentrated sulphuric acid
OF the specific gravity Of .S54, with one part of
water, for short time, simply drawing it
through the liquid, it is Immediately converted
into strong, skin-like material. All traces of
the sulphuric acid must be instantly removed
by careful washing in water IF the strength
OF the acid much exceeds or falls short of the
above degrees, the paper is either charred or
converted into dextrine. or if it is allowed to
remain for many minutes in the sulphuric acid
after the change in its texture has been efTec-
ted. In little more than n second of time q
piece of porous, weak and unsized paper is cor
yerted into parchment paper-a substance so
strong, that ring oft, seyen-eighths of an inch
In width, and weighing no more than twenty
three grains, sustained a weight of ninety two
pounds; and a strip of parchment of the same
dimensions supported fifty six pounds Like
parchment, 1t absorbs some water, but it does
not percolate through it, and it is even indie
structible by water
Printed paper is capable, by this process. of
being converted into parchment paper without
obliterating the printing
