THE SEALING OF LETTERS.
Som ething About the OId-Time Pro.
cess and the Modern.

Before the invention OF the gummed
envelope, various methods were used
for sealing letters. The first seals con-
sisted of a ring that was affixed to
clay or bole, and later to chalk or
creta astatica, a mixture of pitch, wax
and plaster
The use of wax did not become gem
eral until the Middle Ages. Beeswax,
made yellow by time. was the first ma =
terial used. Then came sealing wax
mixed with a white substance. Red
wax began with Louis VI, in 11l3. and
green wax made its appearance about
1853. In the thirteenth century, yell
low, brown, and blue were added to
the other colors; and black wax is a
rarity met with in the seals OF the
military and religious orders
Among the ancients, ring seals were
used not only for sealing letters. but
also-as small locks were not common
for sealing caskets and chests that
contained valuable objects; and they
were even used for sealing the doors
of houses and apartments.
Under the first empire, people began
to use waters. which were brought
from Italy by the soldiers and officers
of the French army. These waters
were cut with punch out of a thin
leaf made of flour.
FINALLY gummed envelopes gradu-
ally began to replace sealing wax and
waters nearly everywhere. The first
envelopes, which were manufactured In
England, date back to 1910. The ma
chine for folding them was invented
in 1S43, by Edwin Hill and Warren dc
la Rue, and in 1S49 was so improved by
the latter that it was capable of fold
ing and cumming 5000 envelopes ar
! hour Since 1850 the annual production
of envelopes has been greatly increas-
ing. and there are now being manu-.
featured in Paris alone 1,50o, 900 daily
