Travelling on the Sabbath.

The following is taken from Ii. r.
Schoolcralts Narrative of an Expedi-
ton to the sources of the Mississippi
River in 1882" under direction of the
War Department.:
No Sabbath day was employed in
travelling. 1t was laid down as prin-
ciple to rest on that day, and, wherever
it overlook us whether on the land or on
the water, the men knew that their la
Dor would cease, and that the day
would be given them for rest. Such Of
shem as felt the inclination, had the
further privilege of hearing portion of
the Scriptures read, or eXpounded, or
of uniting in other devotional rites. ....
1t may perhaps be thought that the Civ
ing up OF One-seventh of the whole time
employed on a public expedition,
in very remote region, and
with many men to subsist, must
have, in this ratio, increased the
time devoted to the route. But the re-
suit was far otherwise The time de-
voted 10 recruit the men not only gave
the surgeon of the party an opportunity
to heal up the bruises and chafngs
they complained of, but it replenished
them with strength; they commenced
the weeks labor with renewed zest,
and this was in a measure kept up by
the reflection that the ensuing Sabbath
would be a day of rest. 1t was found
by computing the whole route, and
comparing the time employed, with
that which had been devoted on SINH
liar routes in this part Of the world,
that an equal space had been gone over
in less time than it had ever been known
to be performed before by loaded ca.

Paper from Wood.

1t is we'll understood that a large
proportion of the paper manufactured
at the present day is from wood. The
nest of the hornet or wasp is in sub
stance of the same material. Now,
how do they obtain it? Every observer
knows that when wood is exposed to
the action of the weather ior a long
time, the fibers on the surface. though
not decayed, become loose and easily
detached when moist or wet This is
the building-material of the hornet,
and he knows exactly when and how
to take advantage of the best time to
collect his material for building pur-
poses. A rather smooth or even sur
face, when wet, is selected by the in
sect. The top pole OF log Of an old
fence, where the bark has fallen of, is
a favorite place for the hornet to work.
He begins by going backward, and
with his two forward feet rolls the
loose, wet fibers of the wood into a
ball, which is usually about the size of
q garden pea. He now secures the bali
with his four hind feet and flies
home with his material, and uses
il for building purposes. How the
work is done in forming it into sheets,
the writer does not undertake to
say; probably the tools used are the
mandibles or jaws and the forward feet.
How the sizing is done, or what the ma
terial that is used may be, L do not
know. The above statement as to how
and where the wasp gets his materials
for building nests is correct, but l can
find no description of The sort by natu-
ralists. More than thirty years ago
TWO young men in an adjoining town
were engaged in the manufacture of
wrapping paper. The paper was made
from old canvas, rope, junk, etc. L
asked why they did not make their
paper of wood by grinding it to pulp in
their engines. They said it could not
be done. replied; "lt is very strange,
that with all your skill, machinery, etc.,
you can not do as much as the wasps
and hornets, who build their nests of
wood-paper." / said: "Get a bale of
two of cTcc'siOr, which is made of pop
lar or bass wood, put it into your en-
gines and grind it into pulp" This
they did, and succeeded perfectly in
making paper of the material And
now the manufacture of paper from
wood has become a great industry
