her to the surface was the work of but a
second for the swimmer, but in the
melee with the waters the lady's hair
had disappeared. A general grin on
shore ensued, and those sharp enough
espied the lady's assistant bravely en-
deavoring to hide mass of "real nat

left the water, as things resumed the

Early Paper Making.

Paper made from silk, it is stated, was
very anclently fabricated in the eastern
parts OF Asia; and the art OF making
this paper was carried TO Persia about
AID. 652, and to the city OF Mecca, in
Arabia, in 706. The Arabs soon used,
instead OF silk, cotton, which grew in
their own country. This paper Of cot
was carried into Africa and Spain by
the Arabs. II is generally thought that
this invention caused paper made from
the papyrus, a kind OF reed growing in
Egypt, to be discussed in Greece. The
cotton paper was more lasting and bet
ter fitted for writing upon than papy-
rus pape. There Is fine specimen OF
OF 81 ancient manuscript OF this cotton
paper, written A.. d. 1850, in one OF
the great libraries in France. From
the use OF cotton to that OF linen was a
natural step, but u most important one,
which led TO paper becoming the useful
and almost perfect article that tits. What
Is better than good linen paper to write
upon, or for booksf tits imagined that
the first paper made from linen rags
was manufactured in Valencia and Cata-
lonia. From Spain the art OF making
this paper passed N TO France. It Is
discovered TO have been in Germany in
1912, and in England in 1920 and 13A2.
In consequence Of the paper made from
cotton in the Levant, the paper from
linen rags was introduced much later
into Italy. We have the statement that
there are MANUSCRIPTS in existence writ
ten upon linen paper before the year

A Queer Animal from Japan,

An animal whose identity is at present
unknown there, was landed in San Fran
cisco lately from the interior of Japan,
where it first saw the light Of day. At a
glance the curiosity might ba taken for
either dog or monkey. tits shaped like
the former about the head and neck,
but otherwise somewhat resembles the
monkey. The animals favorite position is
on its launches, but with little urging
it stands on its four feet, the body slop-
ing downward from the head like a
giraffe. The claws on the four feet are
like those Of a dog, but two extra pairs
are furnished on the hind logs couple
Of inches above the balls OF the feet.
The animal appears to be gentle, but has
strong, high-keyed bark, which it
gives when spectators attempt 10 stir 1t
up.--0hicago Herald.
