The cheapness of Paper.

An exchange remarks that the
Chinese don't use wood pulp i'll max
ing paper, and that their paper will
last century. 1t indirectly laments
the fact that American wood paper,
such as is used by newspapers, breaks
like dry leaves in less than year.
What of it? 1t is OF no consequence
if it breaks in fOrty-eight hours. A
newspaper two days old, is Of no value
whatever, excepting in this: that
bound files are required by the pub
fishers and libraries, and clippings
are preserved by writers and others
for reference. But the bound flies
are subJectt to very little use, and the
clippings are Usually mounted in scrap
books. In either case the paper is
under no strain.
1t is nonsense to talk about the
''poor quality" of our newspaper, 1t
is the cheapness Of the white paper
that has made possible the great
journalistic enterprise Of the day.
Any paper which will endure the
strain Of the press, take the ink well
and present pleasing appearance to
the reader is good enough for use in
a newspaper. TO spend mill more
than is necessary to secure these
qualities would be throwing money
away. Moreover. any considerable
increase in the price of newspaper
would destroy the efficiency of the
daily press The enormous diffusion
OF information which it achieves is
possible only because of the use of
the cheapest product of the paper
mills.-Paper Mill.

Insects and search-Lights.

A new contribution has been made
to the abundant data which has been
collected on the subject Of. the at
traction of and destruction Of insects
by the glare of the electric light, by
L, hewitt, an electrical engineer,
who was on service on ship Of the
British navy during the last war in
Egypt. Mr.. hewitt was DESTROYS of
testing the power of the search-Iight.
and states that he and friend read
newspaper one night as they sat in
the garden Of their hotel at Port Said
with the greatest ease, the only
illuminant being the light of pro-
jectOr, whose beam had been thrown
a distance of four and one-half miles
from one Of the battle-ships Some
Of the ships had instructions to fol-
low the movements Of the enemy by
the aid of the search-]ight, which in
every case was more than two miles
from the shore. However, in spite of
this great distance, it was found that
millions Of winged insects were at
tracted by the beam of light and
travelled along the Team until they
struck the glass in front of the pro-
jector, and fell into the well at its
foot, where they accumulated in a
seething mass two feet deep. They
had to be cleared out by the free use
of hose pipe, and the process had
to be renewed frequently, and the in
sectS became such a pest that it was
difficult to find a man who would
stand by the protector to keep it
working, owing to the attacks made
upon dim.

POLITICAL GRIST.

A change i'll the relationship of New
Mexico and Arizona may be announced
any day now. Messrs. Seligman and
Shannon arc still on the ground.
All accounts to the contrary notwith-
standing, the candidacy of j. G. Albright
of the Albuquerque Democrat for the
secretaryship, is giving the Democratic
leaders of New Mexico considerable
trouble.
Gov. Ross made very pleasant call on
ths Enterprise Wednesday. The old
chief does not look bit like the man
afraid of-the-combine. When the honest
contingent of the Democratic party as
sumes control, the Montezuma of pure
politics will return to his place at the
head of his party.--S1lver City Enter

The Spokane Review of the 26th of
May contains Il Seattle dispatch which
says: Judge W. Fl. Brinker, of the law
firm of Relic and Brinker, of this city, to-
day received his commission from Wash
ington, u. c., which appoints him United
States district attorney for the state of
Washington. His commission bears the
date of May 20, but until to-day the ap-
pointment has been profound secret,
not even Judge Brinker being appraised
of his good fortune" From this it ap-
pears that Judge Brinker has "a pull"
with the administration sure enough, and
he will probably use it to pay of some
old party scores in New Mexico.
