PAPER FROM coRksTALKs
Tests Now Being Made In Washing
ton Of Products Of Government
Experiment Plant.

Experiments by the federal govern.
ment in the making OF high grade pa
per from corn stalks were completed
recently at the governments expert
mental plant at Cumberland Mills,
near Portland. Me. Samples of paper
were taken to Washington a few days
ago and are now under test and furth-
er investigation in the papermaking
laboratories Of the agricultural depart
ment
The experiments have been so sue
cessful as to lead experts to declare
that corn stalk paper rivals that made
from wood pulp for books, writing
purposes. and other uses requiring a
good grade of paper. At the present
time the manufacture of corn stalk
paper Is too costly to make 1t avail
able for newspaper use. The govern
ment experts declare it can be man
ufactured to compete profitably with
wood pulp paper for other uses, and
that 1t gives promise Of being more
durable than the paper now in use.
A machine invented by George r.
Sherwood Of Oak Park, ILL.,, was con-
structed for the experimental plant
near Portland, and the corn expert
ments will be followed by attempts
to make a commercial product from
rice straw. Experiments also were
made with broomcorn, but were in
no sense as successful as those re-
Gently completed with corn stalks.
The experiments have resulted in
statements by the government experts
that cornstalks can be converted into
paper on commercial scale, and that
they offer satisfactory and immedi-
ate substitute for pulp wood. The re-
cent action OF Canadian provinces in
prohibiting the expectation of pulp
wood to this country has resulted in
close observation of the governments
experiments by the financial inter
ests. and the new paper is being sub
mitted to, close scrutiny and severe
tests.

Upon this Jerome took his friends
to one OF the best restaurateurs in the
Palais Royal. The three chatted and
laughed, and said and did a thousand
of those foolish things which when I'm.
premeditated are so delightful. 1t
may be supposed that the converse
ton was not kept up without drinking.

was accepted and ratified over fresh

of leaving. and accordingly called for

to send for the master of the house
and acquaint him how matters stood.
He seemed to take the frolic in good
part. and merely requested to know
their names. Having told him, the
restaurateur set his customers down
as sharpers. and threatened to send
for the commissary of police. This
alarmed jerome, who, seeing that the
restaurateur doubted them, handed
over his watch in payment. This
watch had been a present from Napo-
leon. and on the back was the en-
peror's cipher in brilliants.
On examining the watch the res.
taurateur concluded that it had been
stolen, and took it to the commissary

imperial cipher, ran with it to the
