from it. is not good for printing be-
cause of hard particles that destroy

In 1S45 Keller Of Saxony. took out
patent for making paper from wood
pulp. His success led others to inves-
tigate, until two methods were de-
vised, the. mechanical and the chem

United States, The mechanical process
consists merely of grinding the wood
with water until it is reduced to
pulpy mass. The pulp mills are sit
uated where the wood grows, and gem
orally on good water-power. The
product, is not as high grade as the
chemical pulp, giving a longer and
tougher fiber. For most cheap papers
the mechanical pulp is used as a basis,
with about one-third Of chemical pulp
added-to give toughness.
The chemical processes are two; one

From New York the later returns

From Virginia the tidings of
sweeping victory for the ticket of the
republican readjuster combination
comes in with unmistakable empha sis.
The readjusters cut heavily into the
funder vote, and they elected Colonel
Cameron and Senator Malone by
vote Of 10000 to 10000, judging from
the returns already in. The Richmond
Wing is extremely jubilant.
In Wisconsin a republican victory is
conceded; and the state ticket is

The returns in this state show re-
