the trough descends, the water runs

Waste Paper Heavy Loss.

Hearing of processes for the re-
clamation of waste timber brings to
mind the tremendous quantity OF pa
per daily thrown aside as useless. An
office of ordinary size produces at
least ton of waste in paper month,
which is disposed of at a price rang
ing from five to ten dollars. The
purchasers of this Office by-product
feed it to machines that bundle the
paper by sort of hay-press process,
and the magic of machinery returns
the soiled scraps in pristine white
ness. Waste paper has become SO,
much matter of course that new
offices are built with a paper shed,
a contrivance for caring directly for
this waste. In some businesses this
product amounts to hundreds of tons
in a year, and where the amount is
large, as in city printing office, it
is gathered every day.
In addition to the paper of COM
mercial and manufacturing concerns
there is the constant waste going
on in every home, which would ag-
gregate thousands of dollars every
year if accounted for in the econom-
les of the country. Possibly, when
the Conservation Commission has
disposed of it's big problems. it will
find means to eliminate this source

Dresden a city of Pleasure.

Dresden is essentially city Of
pleasure-of fair. wide prospects. of
hearty river life, of zest in nature
and art. Even the public buildings
cluster about the Elbe, just as the
huts of the first settlers clustered.
A circle of Wendish herdsmen's huts
on the right bank, line of fisher
shanties on the left-these were the
unlikely beginnings of Dresden in the
sixth century. But the settlement
lay at the only point in the river VAL
ley where ford was practicable,
tempting the Germans to settle on
the left bank between the Wends and
the swamps, or Seen, unlovely places
that have long since disappeared.
leaving behind only the names See
strasse, Am See and Seevorstadt. In
deed, the very name of Dresden is
derived from the Slavic dresjen.
which means jewellers in the swamp
forest. Century.
