Mechanical ingenuity is rapidly find.
ing new uses for paper. In the work
Of multiply ing the utilities paper is
capable Of the ingenious mechanics of
Europe, particularly those Of England,
keep pace with our own restless in
vcniorS. An Englishman has perfected
u preparation for hardening thick paper
to such IN extent that il may be really
used rs the wooden boards are. The
use OF hardened paper as building
material is not new thing. In re-
cent industrial exhibition in Australia,
there wis shown n house constructed
entirely of paper; the intcriorfurnished
with curtains, carpets, tables, chairs,
dishes all of paper In Germany pa
per plates are made in great numbers
now it is hardly necessary to say that
these defy brcakagG at the hands Of the
clumsicSt house servants. In France
the workers in paper have, as would
be expected, turned their attention to
pressing paper into the service of the
drc,smakcrs, and have succeeded, too.
\ paper lace has been perfected in
Paris which at once found favor in the
eye of the actresses Of the French
capital. In artificial light it is hard,
by the eye alone, to distinguish it from
the lace made Of thread. 1t is tough,
soft and cheap, 50 that the wcarCrs
care little how badly it is rumpled in
stormy scenes. Encouraged by the
success of the paper lace, Partisan
papcr-makcr went TO work at prcpar-
ing a snowy stage costume for fcmi-
nine wear, composed entirely of paper.
This triumph Of papcr.making ingcnui-
ty has bccu exhibited, but not worn rs
yet. 1t is ornlmcntcd with paper lace
trains of fuChsiaS Of the same material.
Here ut home We have paper boats. A
canoe Of paper has been padded
through two thousand miles of river by
an experienced cauucist, who pre-
fcrrcd u paper craft on account Of its
iighinr,S. the weight being only fifty
eight pounds. His long iourncyings
taught him that the paper boat pos
ScsScd the additional advantages Of
elasticity and durability. Enthusiastic
boatmcn say that the dayi not far dis
tant when yachts, lighter and staunch-
cr than any yet built, will be construct
ed wholly Of paper, In u paper hull
/ the outside presents II surface smooth
rs glass, unbrokcn by joint, lap or
seam Vessels Of paper, unlike those
Of iron or steel, can be used in all
. rlimutrs bpiutr nnn-rnulu nf brot
or cold. Neither dotho paper surfaces
shrink or absorb moisture. With pa
per houses, paper furniture, paper
dishes, paper canoes and yachts, may
wcnOt by 1890, possess paper muSkcts
and pistols, perhaps even artillery of
paper? The latter may sound strange,
but not more so than paper lace or a
paper canoe would have sounded iif-
teen years ago.

Dcmorests Monthly for August.
Chicago has been holding an cxhi-
bition of railway machinery and appli-
ances. 1t has been successful in every
way. We could not begin to cnumer-
ate the marvellous features of this
unique display of the devices employed
in our great railway system. 1t is safe
to say that no such exposition could
have been held in Europe. We have
to-day more miles of railway than all
Europe, and more ingenuity has been
expended among us in providing
means of luxurious travel than in the
old world. There is now under way
at Louisville, Ky, an exposition of the
industries of the south, which is to
last for one hundred days. 1t will sur
prise northern people to learn of the
progress in the industrial arts which
the south has made since the abolition
of slavery. Its cotton fabrics now COM
pete with those of Old and New En-
gland, its iron and the tools made
therefrom is beginning to sharply con
test the supremacy of Pennsylvania
and Ohio, while its miscellaneous in.
dustries have made the most surprising
progress. The south deliberately en-.
tered upon war to extend slavery,
but that institution, happily, is nc
more, and no section of the country
has greater reason to rejoice than the
region south of Mason and DiXon's
| line.

A dispatch to the Boston Globe from
Bangor says there has been great de-
struction of spruce trees in northern
Aroostook. The owners of fine lands
have already lost thousands of dollars,
and the ematter is causing great anxiety.
An entomologist is going to Aroostook
to look into the cause of tho decay and
death of the trees. He will probably
be accompanied by Franklin b. Hough
of the United States commission OF
forestry, who has recently been in the
state making some Investigations,
Jacob Hardison of Caribou says that in
five townships the spruce over eleven
inches in diameter are dead or dying,
and that theyoung trees are unaffected
His view of the cause is that about
eight years ago there were heavy rains,
which loosened the earth. The rains
were followed by protracted gale and
hard winter. The root fibers were
broken, which caused decay; then the
worms followed. He says that on the
northwest slope, where the wind had
the greatest range, tho trees suffered
the most. The trees present scared
appearance first at the top, and year
by year death passes toward the roots.
