PAPER MAKING IN THIS COUNTRY.
The United States Now at the Head OF the
List In Point OF Production.

Though tho number Of paper factories in
the United States has decreased 20 per cent.
during the last fifteen years the product OF
American factories during the same period
has increased 40 per cent, and the present
capacity OF the paper mills OF the United
States is 100000 tons year. More than
l0o.oo00no is invested In the paper fac-
tories OF the country, which number 700,
and the total number OF employees in them
is larger than onr standing army.
For many years, during the time that rag
Great Britain stood at the heal OF the
worlds producers. and manufactured not
only sufficient for the home demand. which
left over for export TO other countries.
whereas the American product OF paper was in, in
however. the discovery OF the utility OF
wood pulp for paper making and the process
whereby the cost of paper has been reduced
States have been steadily pushing ahead and
are are now not only in advance OF Great Bri-
Germany follows Great Britain closely, and
may may soon overtake y in paper making;
baRging. wood fibre. ana cotton waste which
enter into the composition OF paper, represent
which have authentic igurcs OF pa per manufac.

for dyeing or coloring papers, particularly high

enter into tho composition OF paper of vari-
ous kinds, "a addition TO those already givon.
are iute and straw. and the rNgs used are di-
vided, according 10 their serviceahlcncss into
linen rags. which yield 80 per cent. of pnper
from the amount of material used, wooilon
rags which yield 10 per cent, and cotton rags
whtch. by improved process. yield 65 per cent.
New York and Massachusetts stand at the
head Of the States in respect TO the amount Of
paper manufactured. With the cheapcning OF
the cost OF paper not only have new uses been
found for It they have railway tracks made
OF paper In Germany, and paper pencils are no
longer novelty In Now York but the demand
for paper has increased enormously. This Is
particularly noticeable in newspapers the size
of which has, in many cases, been Increased
to correspond TO the reduction in price. More
over. cheaper paper has doomed enormously the
business of the publication OF books and maga-
zines. This reduction OF cost in pookmaking
by which volume that, n few years ago. cost
81 is now sold for 10 or 20 cents. has had one
odd result. as Is shown in the general decline
OF private libraries. for. with the cheapening of
books, tho incentive for collecting them seems
TO have departed. except In the case OF rare
books, or those valued on account OF the beauty
of the binding or illustrations.
