New Material for Paper.

The wood Of the hemlock tree--hemlock
fir, or hemlock spruce, as it is sometim es
called, from the resemblance of its leaves to
those Of the herb .hemlock4.is, in its natu.
raj state, wood of exceedingly harsh and
rigid fiber. Hcmlock splinters are the dread
OF those who handle boards and planks
made Of this wood. Yet, when portion Of
it is put into n steam gun and blown against
a target, il IL resolved into soft, flexible
mass of o brewnish hue, the 6bres Of which
are small, fine, moderately strong. 1t is
said that the material thus obtained may be
made into excellent wrapping paper. We
have shown sample oft, blown from the
steam gun Of Messrs. Stilman, Allen & Co.,
Of this city, to a person of some familiarity
with the substances Of which paper is made,
whe observed that, in all probability, il
might serve, with proper bleaching, for the
manufacture of printing paper Ifthis be
so, there is no need Of looking for cotton
rags; our lumber yards are so many maga-
zines Of the raw material, aud we may ex-
pect paper mills to be, hereafter set up in
hemlook forests, to save the cost of trans.
portation.-[N. Y. Post.
