THE STRENGTH OF PAPER.

ONE of the most remarkable things about
paper is it's strength Take, for ilustra.
ton, bank mote of the Bank of England
These notes are made by n peculiar process.
which Is known only to the Enrl sh mints
The process is such as to make the linen
fibre into the paper without DESTROYING any
Of its strength. You can take a five. ronna
note of the bank of England and twist II in
your fingers into kind of rope, and vo,
Gun then suspend three hundred and
twenty nine pounds upon one end Of IL and
not injure it in the slightest. Here in an.
other article, small kit, hen or house.
truck on wheels, used for wheeling loads
around the house. The sides and bottom
Of this IRE very thin but made of finely
compressed paper, ind it i, capable II bear.
ing weight of five TONS These bath-tubs
and pots are ,..ade IN the same manner.
by COMPRISING the paper made out of
linen fbses and annealed-that is, painted
over with a composition which becomes
part OF the paper and in tire.proof. The
tubs will last forever, and never leak or
you can put them in the fire. ind they will
not burn up. It Is almost impossible to
break them. a. you can beat on them with
. hammer and not injure them IN the least.
! his bust Of President Garfield is m ,de
OF paper press ed over mould and ma e
very solid. In making suci, articles Of
these it requires but very little pressure
These plates are made Ut paper compr 49, 4
and anneultd. and are also very durable ;:
You can wash them and not injure tn. m in
the slightest. or can drip them on the floor
and stand on them. The plates are cheaper
ami much handsomer than china ones. and
will come into use. The knives and forks
are made in the same manner as the others,
BY compres~ing the paper. The fork can
be used for any practical purpose, and ia as
good a. steel one, aud the knife viii last
forever. and can always he kept sharp.
PAPER A SUBSTITUTE FOR wooD.
Another great use to which paper can lie
applied IL 10 substitute it f.r any kind OF
wood. ltisa growing compliant in thisc un-
try that black walnut ia getting very a,.arce.
snd furniture manufacturers are talking OF
substituting cherry aud other wools tor it..
Here are some pict re frames made Of
paper aud colored like walnut. and are 40
perfect that NO one could detect t. EN- with
out cutting them: The paper makes q
much harder and bett. niece Of furniture
than wool itself. A bedstsad m.de OF
paper looks beautiful aud 10 everlasting !.
wheels, only they are made out Vt lorg
strips Of paper. instead %. paper rings. An.
other very valuable article which c'n / q
made out Of paper ia cooking or heat ng
stove. These paper stoves are annealed.
and it is impossible to surn them out, and
they are much cheaper than iron. We ca,l
make house out Of paper. and one that
will last forever. furnish It finely with paper
furniture. make all the dishes. stoves.
knives and forks. and all other articles in
the house out Of piper. A building. like
any Of the great city printing offices, could
be erected out Of paper. only II would be
much more durable. The printing. press,
cases, tyre, and all the fixtures Of the
Office could be made out Of paper. and
would be much cheaper than the ordinary
ones, as well a. more durable. Another
thing which can be made out OF paper IN q
complete steam. engine. which wouid do all
the duties OF metal one and last longer
The fact OF the matter IL that there ia not
IN article that cannot be made, and splen
didly made, out Of paper. The time II
takes to transform . linen fibre into fine
car wheel or other article 10 twenty nine
hours It will take some little time Longer
to make paper clothes and shoes.-lMdus
