PINE. BARK PAPEE.-The Detroit Post says
that Governor Bxgley, of Michigan, has re-
cetved some specimens Of paper msde from
pine-bsrk, at Marinette, Wis, by Mr. w
r. Patrick, now engineer of a saw-mill al
that place, but formerly Connecticut paper.
maker. Pine-bsrk, 1t must be remembered,
is held for naught but 3 nuisance, not being
fit even to burn. but tho ingenious expert
mentalist set some Of it TO boil In an old coffee
pot, and then, beat it into pulp, aBd with no
moro machinery than such as could be readily
improvised, like. strainer and wire
screen, converted it into paper. BE
.bleachss the pulp If be chooses, and the
process is said to be so expeditions as not to
occupy more than quarter OF an hour; the
pulp, too, can be easily colored. Without
coloring, the paper is Of deep brown color,
and full of scattered or interlscing threads Of
bark, In the manner Of the hairs which the
Government introduced, for the discontinue
of counterfeiters, into the fractional currency
The paper tears rather readily If we delibe'
rateiy try to tear it; but the Post says 1t does
not break, and is apparently as good. or bet.
ter than straw. The inventor thinks that
about iye pounds of it can be made from
one hundred pounds OF bark. - ei.sya- T.

OF an order OF magnitude or which it ie

conception. -. :
But almost .as remarkable as the rnaenl.
| tudes Of such a world would be srobably
its astronomical phenomena. II there be five
such cooiedsdoWn' suns besides the still I'm
candescent sun, Sirius, which Is theft .pri.
mary, each Of these huge solar worlds would
have four moons at least of majestic size and
briliiancy 10 It's sky, 10 addition to any satei-
lite moon or moons Of the nature of our
moon or Jupiter's moons, to illuminate the
probably long night. Our own sun. we
know, rotates In about five-and.twenty days,
and even supposing these solar planets of
Sirius Zone OF which Is supposed to have a
diameter at least ten times the length of the
sun'S) to rotate vastly more rspidIy. It ia
| hardly likely that u ts night should be
shorter than two or more Of orr,
| months, During that time, then, the
| Inhabitants would be lighted, not merely
| by any such moous or rings as might be ap-
pended to their world, just as our moon or
Saturn's ring Is appended to the earth or to
Saturn, but also by mighty suo-moons such
as we should have if our sun had opaque
| companion-suns IN bis neighborhood to res
| feet Us back bis light. All such suu.moons
| would, Of course, in relation 10 the world we
are surprising, be moons only as regards the
reflected character Of the light they give,
not as regards 'their;celestiai path. so That
such, world would have various years lone
in relation 10 It's path round its primary,
Sirius, and another, 10 relation to each, Of
| these solar-moons leach Of which, too, would
cause new day and night peculiar to itself,
OF the same length as the day and night
caused by Sirius, though not coineident with
them. -. 49, -, IN ,.-.I .,.,'nYi
Thus, besides the year, the day, and the
night due to the sun Sirius, there would be
four other distinct years, days, and nights,
to say nothing of any more properly lunar
periods which Wonld be due to the light Of
proper satellites, If such there were. When
it is considered that with the In all proba-
biity extremely dense atmosphere of such
8 world-supposing there to be, atmosphere
at all, for without atmosphere there wouldbe
really no analogies to the physical life on our
own planet-ai the more beautiful phenome.
ma Of light, such as twilight, the gorgeous
refractions Of dawn and sunset, the Drsmstic
colors of the rainbow, and the reflected lights
| from the huge mountain.summits, would be
Of far greater beauty aud spendor than any
tof which we have experience, it is not too
much TO say that Mr.. Proctor's speculation
really introduces us to probable universe
OF quite astounding possibilities, in which
| almost every physical phenomenon we know
would probably be magnified in dimensions
| TIL it would look as little like what it looks
| to us as drop Of water under the solar mi
croscope looks like tho same drop when it is
seen with the naked eye.
