count. They are cheaper and lighter
than gas, ~unbreakable and consequently
very popular with consumers, while the
fact that they require no packing MAJ
terial, and are clean, handy and eco
nomical, commends them to manufac-
turers. Unlike glass they can be
manufactured at all easons. The
strength Of paper is wonderful. As an
illustration Of this, a note of the Bank
Of England, twisted into a kind OF q
rope, can suspend as much as 23s
pounds upon one end of it, and not bt
Injured in the least. There is an arti'
Gle made of paper, in the shape of 9
small kitchen or house truck on wheels
used for wheeling loads around The
house. The sides and bottoms OF this

and it is capable of bearing a weight Of
five tons. There are bath-tubs ant
pots made in the same manner, by com
pressing the paper made out of liner
fibres, which is painted over with I
composition which becomes part of TIN
paper and is %freproof. The tubs neyeI
