HORSEsHoEs OF PAPER.-A new
use for paper again appears. Rail
road car wheels are now quite often
constructed of paper. 1t would be
hard to make an announcement of
"a new use of that material which
should cause any lively surprise.
And vet the introduction of horse
shoes made of paper in the calvary
service of the German army seems
extraordinary enough 10 excite in
terest. Several calvary horses were
first shod with paper shoes, and the
effect was observed.
1t was found that not only did
the lightness and elasticity of the
shoe help the horse on the march,
making it possible for him to travel
faster and farther without fatigue
than horses shod with iron, but
that the paper shoe had the property
of being unaffected by water and
other liquids. 1t is now proposed
to replace iron with paper horse
shoes in the whole German army.
The new shoes are made of a
great number of thin sheets of
paper, pressed on closely together,
one above another, and rendered
impermeable to water by the appli-
cation of oil of turpentine. The
sheets are glued together by a sort
of paste composed of turpentine,
whiting, gum and linseed oil, and
then submitted to a powerful
hydraulic pressure. Paper horse
shoes are also made by grinding up
the paper into a mass, combining
it with turpentine, sand, gum, lith-
arge, and certain other substances,
pressing it, aud afterwards drying
it.
But these shoes are less tough
and elastic than those which are
made of thin sheets of paper laid
one upon another. The paper
shoes are fastened to the horses
feet either by means of nails, or
with kind of glac, composed of
coal tar and caoutchouc.

made the bidding lively. From
twenty-five to fifty to a hundred;
to hundred and fifty; and finally
to two hundred and fifty pounds,
the bidding went and the Cuyp was

bogus-it was worth about two

STILL GROWING.
Anticipating q Good Business.


PRINTING FACILITIES INCREASED.
Percy F. Smith has Just erected in his al
ready thoroughly equipped printing and
publishing establishment, Nos. 81 and IS
Virgin alley, another of Cottrell'r superb
book presses. Three new cylinder presses
erected inside of year tells in emphatic
language the growth of this branch of trade
in Pittsburg. Mr.. Smiths establishment is
crowded with orders for fine book, catalogue
and color work, for which these presses are
specially designed, and their Introduction
has caused thousands of dollars worth of
printing to remain in Pittsburg that hereto
fore was obtained in Eastern and Western
cities.
Mr.. Smith never allows his orders to push
him very hard. He promptly increases his
facilities. invites work aud his well filled
order files show he gets it. He knows how
to advertise iudlciously.
Pottery and glass manufacturer cata-
logues, and fine book and cut work, and in
fact everything from three.sheet illumi-
mated poster to a visiting card may be OBJ
tanned at Mr.Smith's establishment prompt
ly and at reasonable rates.
Some idea of the extent of the facilities of
Mr.. Smiths establishment may be formed
when 1t is stated that the pressroom capacity
is now 100, 900 impressions daily.
Because Mr.. Smith is always busy is no
reason why you should not leave orders with
him. If he has not facilities to promptly
serve you he will provide them. just as he
has done in the past two years to greater
extent than all the printers of Pittsburg
combined. Mr.. Smith believes in address,
ing the public when he is busy. Too many
merchants wait to advertise until business
gets dull, and then there is another wait un-
til merchants "catch on"
Call and examine samples, obtain esti-
mates, and see the quartet of beautiful CYL

issue checks, being introduced by some one
who knew he had money on deposit, or by
letter from the bank, then draw out his de-
posit and depart.
At Peoria he got s.. 900 in this manner.
He then went to Rochester, where he secured
a large amount and fled to Europe. He had
previously beaten business men in New
