much success these schemes are likely

The practice of cleaning machinery
by means of plotting paper has been
established in German workshops. The
German workman formerly received on
an average $50 grams of cotton waste,
one new sponge cloth and one or two
renovated ones per week; now he is
supplied with $50 grams OF cotton
waste and eight to ten sheets of blot
ting paper, at a cost OF 21s cents, in
stead Of as formerly. Ga cents. The
paper is not only cheaper. but it can
not soil the machine with flbers and
dust, like sponge cloth and wooden ref
use. and It is far preferable to cotton
waste. Beyond this, 1t is not so COM
bustible as other cleaning materials.
