Articles Made From Paper.

Paper is said to be made from bar
ley, oats, rice, Indian corn, peas,
beans, alfalfa, ramie, pine needles, to-
bacco and cornstalks, ichens, the
leaves and barks of trees, potatoes
and other equally strange things,
while linen is the ideal material.
While paper can be made from
nearly anything, nearly anything can
be made from paper. With COM
pressed paper are made wheels, rails,
cannon, horseshoes, polishers for
gems, bicycles and asphalted tubes for
gas or electric wires With wood pulp
and zinc sulphate there has been an
attempt to make bricks for paving,
roofing, tile and water pipes.
Telegraph poles made of rolled
sheets of paper are shallow, lighter
than wood, and resist the weather
we'll.
1t is said that in Japan clothing,
window frames, lanterns, umbrellas,
handkerchiefs, artificial leather, etc,
are made from paper, while in Amer
lea coffins, barrels, vases and milk bot
ties are made from this handy mate
rial Straw hats may now be bought
into which not the least particle of
straw enters, but are made of narrow
paper strips, dyed yellow.
A patent has been obtained for a
paper thread to be used in sewing
shoes, and artificial silk is now made
on basis of paper pulp.
The uses to which paper may be put
are varied and extensive 1t is used
to make imitation porcelain, for bull
lets, shoes. billiard table CLOTH sails
for boats, boards for building, imper-
meable bags for cement and other
powdered substances, boats, and yes
sells to hold water. A paper stove has
even been made, while houses have
been built of paper, and in Norway, it
is said, there is a church holding 1000
people built entirely of paper, even to
the belfry.-Robert Snowden.

NARROW ESCAPE.
Little Margaret Schall Has Close Call
From Fire Tu1v 4.

Lite Margaret Schall had narrow
escape from a severe burning July 4.
In the early evening she was holding
one of the little silver sparklers, CON
sidered SO very harmless that they
wouldn't burn your hair, when her
dress caught fire and was in a blaze.
When her father happened to see her
at the right moment to save her. He
jumped to her side, tore the flaming
drsss off and the danger was over.
Fortunately the dress was of very
light material, or the little one might
have been severely injured AS it was
her escape was almost miraculous as
her father never suspected it possible
that the little fizzers could be dan

Some Nice Effects Obtained This

Geraniums have in particular been Of
slow growth and no one seems to be
able to understand it. Max Rump-
recht, the Fort Lee nurseryman, says
it is dine to ''chimicals' of the atmos-
phere, and perhaps he is ight-though
it may be rather to the lack of the
proper amount of atmospheric chem
icals from which we suffer. Much of
the nitrogen needed for plant growth
comes from the air, and the theory
prevails that heavy snoWfalls bring
down the nitrogen from the air in its
fall, thus forming one of the most
powerful stimulants for plant life. In
deed, science has gone so far as to
assert that the day is not far distant

be obtained from the atmosphere
Mrs Vincent r Kelly says that
most of her plants have remained
practically stock still since they were
set out in the early spring, and she
cannot understand how it all came
about She further says that she en-
countered the same difficulty last year.
Max Rumprecht says there is no
doubt in the world but that the
growth Of plants is affected by the at
mosphere, and that these changing
conditions are brought about by
planetary conditions. But be this as
it may, this is Palisades banner year

more to the beauty of any place than
handsome gardens, and the very sim
plest treatment lends a charm that is
appreciated by even the most casual
observer.

 The plaintiff, Mrs. Tombari, alleged that on July 23 1910. prescription clerk employed by Connors made an error in compromising a prescription for a powder to be taken three times ;i day and which contained among other things five grains of calunba, but the clerk misread the prescription and put calcmel in the powders Instead of ca + umba. It was shown, owing to the .er. TOT, Mrs. Tombani was made ill., in- cured additional bills for medical att tendance and was unable to work for two months. Judge Peck in his de- clS1On finds that reasonable care WouII have prevented the mistake. He says
 'The most that can be said in faver of the drug clerk is that the word in question is somewhat illegible and ob- scure and doubt might exist as to what drug was intended. But if so much be conceded it would seem to be the duty of the drug clerk to make further inquiries and to refrain from giving to an~ignorant foreign woman a medicine likely to peSVery Injurious to her. on what at the best was Il guess as to the reading Of the pre- scription Such incGieies would have been, not for the purpose of criticis ing or overruling the physician as was argued on the trial. but of ascertain ing what. in fact, he had prescribed

CRIMINAL NEGLECT
 OF SKIN AND HAIR

Cuticura soap and ointment do so much for poor complexions, red, rough hands, and dry, thin and falling hair, and cost so little that it is almost criminal not to use them. Think of the suffer- ing entailed by neglected skin troubles-mental because of dis fguration-physical because of pain. Think of the pleasure of a clear skin, soft white hands and good hair. These blessings are often only matter of little thoughtful timely care, viz. = warm baths with Cuticura soap, assisted when necessary by anointings with Cuticura oint- ment.

 Residents along North Water street and automobilists who use this section of the town daily are wondering whether the selectmen expect to oil tie road or not. It would prove beneficial to both residents and autoists who con- stantly use the roads here and around town.
 Automobile Signs Needed.
 The auto club of America would save a great deal of trouble for it's members by placing signs at the direct road turns. especially so at Elm and Cutler streets, indicating the way to New London. Autoists coming from the east, unless cautioned by someone who chances to be passing, invariably take the direct course down Elm street, in stead of turning into Cutler street. Hundreds of autos pass this point daily The sign at the top of the hill at the curve reading Automobiles slow for curve" is unnoticed by a large ma jority of tourists. as the curve is a very dangerous one at this juncture of the road the sign should be needed to avoid terrible mixup which is sure to come unless mere care is exercised in making the curve coming down the hill.
 Caught Mackerei.
 The local fishermen have tried their luck at the old time hand fishing Dy line for mackerel between Stonington and Watch Hill. A large number were caught Saturday. the fish being of good size and fine eating for so early in the sea son.

ponement of the marriage of Patrick DeSimons to Angeline Spezziano, both of Providence because of the injuries the young fireman received. Now the death of the brides father raises a doubt whether or not the marriage ceremony will ever be performed, as she promised her father not to enter the matrimonial estate for at least thirteen months.
 The curious chain of circumstances began when an engine in which De simon was riding toppled over a bank, killing Engineer Beebe and scalding Fireman William Hurley. while De- Simon was pinned under the engine and injured in chest and shoulder.
 The marriage was to have taken place last Sunday but at that time De- Simon was lying in hospital at Westerly The girls father died last Monday and was buried Thursday, thus causing further postponement.
 DeSimon got into the accident in a peculiar manner. He is a fireman em- nloyed on local freight running be- tween Providence and Midway. His train had been brought to a stop just outside of the Westerly station. and his lunch having spoiled he started down the track to procure another. Seeing his friend and neighbor, Will jam Hurley, in the freight engine which was abcut to be switched, he stepped dDOdTQ anu Mllie TluHlS OH this machine it tOppled over an em- bankment, being derailed by defec- tive switch. The three men were car ried with it.
 Beebe and DeSimon were taken to a private hospital at Westerly, where the engineer died. Hurley came to his home in Providence the next day, but DeSimon was not able to start fer home until last Tuesday
 It was thought that DeSimon's con- finement to the hospital would cause a postponement simply for month or two, but on Monday Antonio SpeZ- ziano. father of the bride to have been, who mad been i'll with dropsy, had an attack of heart failure and died few hours later at the Rhode Island hos pital. Before his death he commanded his daughter not to marry within thir- teen months should he die
 The young fireman says he does not know what will be the outcome. but adds that he is glad to be alive after what he has passed through
