How Paper stood the Boston Fire.

Curious results have follow ed some
of the experiments made upon charr-
ed papers and documents and the ex-
animation on books in safes which
proved worthless in the great FIRE.
It has been found that what paper
makers call poor paper-paper con
siderably 'clayed'-stood the test best.
Parchment paper, used for bonds and
legal documents, shrivelled up exceed
ingly, and the print blistered so that
it could be read when writing was
illegible. So it was with the engray-
ed work on notes. The gliding on
account books burned and charred
showed out as bright and clear as
when the books were new, which
brings up the question if to intro
duce gilt edged account books would
not be well, on the ground that the
gilt would stay the passage by FIRE to
the pages within.
Books crammed into . safe 80 that
it was difficult to get them out, suf-
fered considerably less than those set
in loosely, and in some cascs came
out from safcs in which everything
else was worthless, 20 far preserved
that the figures on their pages could
be deoiphered. With charred paper,
which could NOT be made trsnspareat
By any light whatever used, It was
found, after the employment OF vitriol,
oxalic acid, chalk, glycerine and 9TH
er things, that anything which mois-
tened to . certain degree-to which
it was delicate work to get and not.
pass-made the lines, words and 69-
ures legible through . magnifying
glass.
1t has been the almost universal
experience that lead pencil marks
show out all right where ink marks
can not be distinguished. The sue
cess Of the use Of photography has
often been noted. - afs
