Permanent Records and Poor Par
From the New York World.

ANNAhs
The necessity of finding SOM way In
which to provide time proof records OF
Goth century achievements in law, the
science and arts. Industries, medicine
and hisory, APPEARS to be trcIbling his.
torians r scientists a great dea!
these days. The ancients had no sucb
trcaole. or if they had they overcame
it, as is evident from the quality and
durability of the scrolls and ink used
in the preparation of many previous
records, dating back hundreds, even
thousands, Of years, n which are still
quite legible and in an excellent state
of preservation.
In this age of enormous demands for
paper and consequent hasty production
great care is needed in order to select
paper which will give, humanity speak
ing, the permanent record, or n
which shall not so deteriorate as to fail
a comparatively few years hence to
preserve any printed or written i'm
pressions.
The subject is one of considerable i'm
p%ortance. especially in so far as it
concerns the preservation of printed
matter or manuscripts with valuable
records upon them. Recent investiga-
lions have shown that a common inn
purity of paper is free acid derived
from over bleaching or from impure
alum. Both are destructive to the last
ing qualities or paper, ana though at
the beginning it may appear a stone
white, eventually 1t resolves into a vel
low brown.
The Lance says that fortunately the
defects in papes intended for recording
purposes are easily detected. If a solu-
ton OF potassic iodide be placed upon
a paper containing uncombined alum
and starch and exposed for an hour OF
so and protected by a glass from
the air it is stained a reddish or violet
brown; if there is alum present n no
starch the stain is a bright yellow. 1t
happens hat the starch in the paper,
which Is harmless, renders the test
more distinct by forming with the lib
Grated iodine a violet coloration. In
the absence of starch some may be
added to the iodine before testing. II
the paper gives a decided enswer to
this test it is utterly valueless for the
purpose of giving a permanent record.

But 1t possessed one drawback-it

Prayer for Country Community.

In the American Magazine the following
letter IS Published;
II see that Professor Rauschenbusch
says, in the preface to For God and the
People that he VIII welcome suggestions
from anyone. As one who has been great
ly helped by these prayers as published
month by month in your magazine, l
would like, through you, to Suggest a
prayer for a country community. 1t might
run something like this:
'o.: rather, we invoke Ihy blessing
on every member Of this community. We
thank Thee for the opportunities for
healthful work and simple Ewing which
lie IN the country affords us. Help us
10 take fun advantage of them. Grant
mat we may appreciate the privilege we
enjoy In living and working in the midst
or the natural beauties with which Thou
hast filed the earth. May our sense of
this beauty not be dulled by use, nor our
work become a monotonous, soul-deaden-
ing round, but may our beautiful sur
roundihSs be to us new every morning and
fresh every evening. Give to the farmers
or this country a realizing sense Of the
blessing they enjoy in being masters Of
themselves in their daily labor. GIVE them,
too, breadth OF mind to realize the basic
Importance of the service they perform for
my great family of humanity and to seek
ever new and better methods of work,
that they may make their service of the
greatest benefit.
Save the women of the country from
the physical strain of overwork. and from
the nervous strain of loneliness and iso-
Iation. Put into the hearts of the men
OF their families a willingness to tighten
their daily burden of toll by the supply
OF labor-saving conveniences and by
thoughtful consideration. May their labor
be sweetened by the spirit of love, and
by the consciousness of the great
service totthe world they may perform in
following their monotonous
round of daily drudgery."
