Materials for Writing to Be Improved.
The pope has invited chemists and
Librarians from every part of Europe
to meet at Einsiedlen abbey, Switzer-
land, to consider the question of paper
and ink. The matter Is grave one,
since the records of this generation
will disappear in time which can be
estimated, unless the materials for
writing be improved. A number of
documents from the archives OF the
vatican, it is said, will be submitted
by the pope. These documents are
scarcely decipherable, though they
were dated in the present century.
Perhaps things were worse in Italy
than elsewhere, for It was an incident
