revolutionize the manufacture OF pa
per in this country. The machine is
now in operation at Cedarville and is
turning out four tons of.the finished
product every day. BY ingenious pro-
cess the material never stops moving
from the time>it goes into the NAV of
the machine in the stockroom until 1t
comes out the finished product ready
for the rolls. BY use Of the machine
and to illustrate the possibilities in

said that 1t would be possible to station
newspaper press at the rear Of the
paper maker and print newspaper
from the product which had been tho
raw material of straw, rags or wood
but few moments before. The ma
chine is the invention of Thomas

SLAUGHTER OF BIRDS.
Game Warden viii Present q
Bill to Protect Them From
the Small Boy.

The boy with the air gun and target
life is causing some alarm in the minds
of the game wardens, and State War
den Reutinger of Athens wants to put
a stop to the indiscriminate slaughter.
of song birds and those who do much
good by the devouring of insects. he
is now preparing a bill that he will ask
the general assembly of Ohio to pass
at the coming session. The proposed
law will compel the reading OF the
statutes of the state bearing on this
subject in the public schools at frc-
quent intervals, SO that the boys may
be brought up to know that the shoot
ing of these birds is unlawful. He
thinks much good can be accomplish
ed.
Mr. Reutinger says that the destruc-
tion Of song and insectivorous birds IL
becoming alarming, and he declares
that the small boy with his target rife
and air gun are the slaughterers. They
do not know any better, and older
persons seldom warn them. He thinks
that little education along this line
may not come amiss.
