PREPARING RESIDUAL SUBSTANCES FOR
THE MANUFACTURE OF PAPER.
To the Editor ~ TIE ~ Y. Triesas.
Sir: One of the most valuable discoveries Of the
present day s that recently made and patented 10 Ed
rope ard America by Robert ii. Collyer, NJ. d., Of
London, Of & new material for psper making. Tue
patent is for "An improved mode Of preparing the
residue OF beetroot, msngel wurizsl, and other spe
cies OF the genus Beta. left sfer sugar mskiag and
dstiation, TO be used material 10 mss ng paper,
PAPER mache, miIlbosrd, AID other similar manufac-
tures."
The invention consliis in the preparation Of the beet
residue for paper.maLing ma.trs', In sn Vi manner
that the glptDoxs, abaminous, geatinoas Aad other
proeine qualities contains, shs be developed, pre-
served and brought into anoctive state and rendered
useful and in the application aOd use OF said residue,
when prepared, in combination with otser maerais,
to be converted by ksoWn modes mo paper Previous
