SUPPLIES FOR PAPER.
for Other Material Besides
Spruce Timber.

It will probably be many years yet
before we exhaust ali our resources of
spruce for the making of wood pulp.
Still, an area as large as Rhode Island
is stripped of its.spruce every year to
supply the mills that make news paper
alone; and many of the manufacturers
think it is none to early to begin ex-
perimenting with other material for
paper making to supplement the
spruce supplies and even to take their
place if we cannot grow crops of
spruce fast enough to meet the de-
mand, says the Newly ork Sun.
Some good use is found every year
for plants that were supposed to be
useless. In the museum at the botani-
cal garden are specimens of rugs and
other articles made of variety of
sedge that is found widely in our north
ern states.
This grass was supposed to be worth
less few years ago, but somebody
discovered that it supplies a good
strong fiber, and to-day it is being
turned into binders Irvine, rugs and
other things that are worth having.
Two materials new to paper max.
ing are now attracting attention. One
is bagasse, the refuse of the sugar
mills, which hitherto has been pure
waste, except a small part of it used
as fuel. -
A paper mill in Texas is now using
bagasse to make paper, and the pro-
duct is said to be excellent. 1t is pre-
dicted that the day is soon coming
when all the bagasse from our south
ern sugar cane fields will be used to
make paper; thus bagasse will be an
other of the waste materials diverted
from the waste heap and turned into
source of wealth.
Another kind of paper material is
rice straw, very little of which is now
used except to provide bedding for cat
tie. 1t has been known for long time
that good paper could be made of this
material; but, for some reason, it has
not been utilized to any extent. There
are great possibilities for Louisiana
and Texas in the manufacture of pa.
per from these two new materials.
All the same it would be folly to
permit our spruce forests to become
exhausted. The timber that is sent
to the mills for pulp wood should
be replaced by another planting, as
with any other crop. 1t is getting
rather late for any woodsman to re-
move crop of timber without the
slightest idea that later genera
ton will take another crop from the
same ground.
Canada is the great preserve of
the Whole world for future supplies
of pulp wood. Her spruce resources
have scarcely been touched, though
her southern forests have been badly
depleted.
The country has a magnificent belt
of spruce extending from the south
east in Quebec far northwest to the
Mackenzie river. Not a bit of this
spruce has yet been utilized and will
not be till railroads are extended to
It; but the railroad projects now un-
der way will before very long tap
this greatest of all resources of
pulp supply.

The diamond, although not so rare
or precious as the ruby, holds the first
place as favorite among precious
stones with almost every one. The
high estimation in which it is held is
due to its remarkable hardness, rarity,
and brilliancy. In spite of its beauty,
1t merely consists of carbon-a simple

that after several years of married life,

that amount and gave it to his son, but

died, and the next day the son present
ed the check for payment and the bank
paid it. The executors of the deceased
thereupon brought an action against
the bank to recover the $1,000 so paid.
on the ground that the giving of the
check by the father to the son under
the above circumstances did not consti-
tute an executed gift, but was merely a
promise to give because the father re-
tanned the power to revoke it by draw
ing out the money before the presenta-
ton of the check. and because the
money could not have been levied upon
before such presentation. But the Su-
preme Court of California denied this
contention and held that the delivery
of the check by the father to his son
gave the latter such immediate posses
sion and control of the thing intended
TO be given as constituted a completed
and perfected gift.
