 E. and .tbew has recently been called tc the utility of little known species oi paper called tho boabab, or Ansonia. It is made from the wood of the boabah tree, which is q native of west Africa, and is known there as the monkey bread tree. It is found in Abyssinia, Senegal and south of Coyo river. It is of low growth and has very thick trunk. While it rarely attRins height of 25 feet, the trunk is usually 20 to % feet ill diameter. The branches are pen. dulous and bear an edible fruit. The in- ner bark of this tree is very abrous. Ia Is nsed for making superior wrapper pa. pers, which have great tenaoity. When the inner bark is stripped from the tree, fresh growth supplants that taken away, and in couple of years the tres is again ip normal condition. The bark Is peeled off but once in four years.
 The latest addition to the paper in- dustry is sanitary note paper which is claimed to be gormproof. It has long been known that letters frequently spread infectious diseases by means of the germs that oontamjnate the paper. An English firm haa Aluced a paper which is i1npregnsssa with an antiseptio substance which kssis all germs that may come in contacfwith the paper If this paper proves to Do what the proprie- tors claim, it is certainly a meritorious Invention and will become generally used by hospitals and during the rage of  future epidemics.
 Chinese and Japanese papers have long been noted for their quality. It has recently been aseertained, however, that even finer grades arc produced in Korea, One eminent authority states that ''the Korean paper excels tho very best that is mado in China and Japan. It is manufactured entirely by manual labor. No machinery whate. CT Is employed. For the better grades the bark of the BroussoDetia papyrifera is used. This IS gathered in the spring of the year. It IS placed in water, mixed with wood ash es and is then beaten until it is reduced 10 a thick pulp, which is dipped out Tn good sized ladies and spread out in thin sheets upon bamboo frames A different grade of paper is made from fragments of bark. which are trodden under foot in 3 manner similar to that employed in the grape presses ill some countries. This process of making the pulp is very tedions, but it possesses the great merit of preserving the lbers intact and ncs breaking them, as Is done when ma ohinery is used. The pulp is then meta morphosed into paper, and the sheets are stacked up in piles six feet high and cut into pieces. Then the piles of paper nre compressed by tho stamping of feet The roots and seeds of plant called taokpaul are added to the pulp when grade possessing greater tenacity and toughness is desired.

 Without steam and railways modern society would undoubtedly exist But what a state Of intellectual darkness would be that of civilized mankind without paper and the secret of it's man. ufaoturel For many years the rag met all demands of tho paper industry. The increasing diversity of uses to which paper and paper pulp have been put in the last decade have made it necessary for manufacturers to cast about for nntfs effective elementary substances. Boots. money. boats, gas pigs, impermeable casks, toys, bottles, pipes, floors, doors, ceilings, architectural ornaments, roof. ing, chimneys and even complete fire. proof houses are now made Of paper. Many claim that it will eventually sup. plant wood, for it will neither crack nor warp. It can be triturated, put un. der great pressure and subjected to cer. tain chemical treatment and will then take a high polish and will resist the ef- fects of fire better than any other ma. terial known. Paper is gradually sup. planting metal in certain lines. Loeo- motive wheels have been made of it for several years, and even rails for rail. roads The next progressive step will bs to use it for the manufacture of ord nance, which is not by any means re mote possibility. Paper has largely talk en the place of linen. We have paper collars and cuffs and blankets. An in. genious inventor has devised paper shirt bosoma, which can be torn off like the pages from a calendar, thus enabling the wearer to have q clean shirt front as often as he desires. It is only mat. ter of time before cloths, dressing gowns and entire suits of clothes will be made from paper. The soldiers of the Japanese army wore paper trousers and jerseys during their famous winter campaign.
 Wood pulp is the most effective sub. Btitute for rags in the manufacture of paper. Nearly every species of wood can be used. Some kinds yield more than others. Hfore pulp can be got from will low and chestnut than from walnut. Different woods give .-s~ ' 1f,o' f5~s and effects.

The chief supply is now obtained iu Norway and Finland, in the form of planks or poles, never exceeding feet ' or 8 inches.
 For the last half century the worlds production of paper has increased ten fold. h 1850 1t was 221, 1000 metric tons. The latest recent estimate was 2,000,0 900 metric tons. The European manufacturers are suffering from glut in prodacfh.n. The price of paper has

"As certain as there is power and in
 fiuenee within my reach," shouted General" Wilson last night, T will do'' thus and so. The general gave
 an exhibition of the power and in- fuence" within his reach" when he went to Washington as the representa- tive cf a lceal office holding syndicate to try to prevent the confirmation of Governor McCord and thus hold his job as attorney general. His is the kind of power and influence that is permitted to cool its heels in the out side corridors at the capitol. If ever man was made to appear ridiculous it was Wilson as the result Of that selfish and un-American mission. The ''generars'' ''power and influence" are confined to his lungs, which unques- tionably are full caliber.

NEWSPAPERS AND BUSINESS.
The Former Are the Strongest Hand
 maids of the Latter

The value of the daily newspaper as the best means of reaching the Ameri- can people is more conclusively demon- strated as time gees on, and progress sive business men are finding to their more complete atisfaction every year that it stands unrivaled as an adyer- Using medium
 . The most interesting recent proof cf this fact is the step just taken by Man ager Harris of the Euclid Avenue opera house in Cleveland, who is gan- erally recognized among theatrical managers as enc of the shrewdest and most successful business men in the amusement world. An Associated Press dispatch from Cleveland says:
 Manager Hartz Of the Euclid Av- enua opera house believes he has dem onstrated the superiority of newspaper advertising over all ether forms. Last week he decided to abandon all adver- Using by means of billboard posters and window hangers and to depend up- cn the newspapers entirely. The only posters shown were these at the en- trance to the theater. The result of the experiment was gratifying. To- night Julia Marlowe began a weeks engagement and the house was sold out, it was said, before the perform ance began. MT. Hartz has decided to put up no more pcstsrs.''
 When theatrical manager can af- ford to depend solely on the newspa- psrs for his publicity there are few lines of business that cannot also do so. All forms of advertising doubtless have some value, and posters in some lines of trade are probably worth what they cost. But the business man who seeks to get the best value fer his money in advertising is finding more and mere every day that the daily pa- per is the medium to use.
