HOW PAPER CAME TO BE MADE

Long years ago Japanese walked
through his pretty garden to his
home; his hands were clasped behind
his back and he was thinking, az he
crossed the bridge to pluck q fresh
wistaria blossom that hung Just over
his head. This little gentleman had
great many parcels to send out
from his shop every week, and he had
always wrapped them in silk; but
this was expensive material and he
needed something cheaper for his pur-
pose. All at once a wasp came fitting
toward him. but he thrust It away
that 1t might not nip his nose, and loi
there at his hand was a wasp's nest!
1t was made Of thin wood pulp, soft
ened into thin paste by the Jaws of
the insect. then formed and left to
dry. why can't do that same
thing" thought the Japanese mer-
chant. Get certain wood form it into
pulp by means of water from the
river and make something like this
wasp's nest in consistency to wrap
about my packages" And this was
the way paper was first discovered.
