down of the tall trees, the paper industry has some atmosphere of romance. When the hardy lumberman has brought the tree down and Topped off it's branches, the boss of the camp exercises his ingenuity to get the logs to market. Advantage is taken of natural slopes leading to the nearby streams, and the logs are shot down these slopes to the water. If there are no slopes handy. rude railways must be devised. Once in the stream the drive" begins. The logs frequently form jams in the stream, and then one of the lumbermen must walk over the floating trunks, find the one that forms the key to the jam and cut 1t away. When the jam begins to yield it Is time for the lum- herman to make a quick getaway, for his life hangs in the balance. mis- step means a plunge down among the rushing logs and in the grinding, crush ing mass the lumberman would never have chance of escape.
 When a large piece of water is reached the logs can be made up into rafts and lowed to the mill. At the mill they are cut up into suitable lengths by big cir cular saw and brought under the infiu- ence of the .barker'' at the same time The "barker'' Is a machine with rotating blades that gnaws off the bark that makes a frightful noise over it. too. It is said by people who have heard this voracious machine screaming over It's food that it makes the worst noise that ever as- saulted human ears. The saws are not far behind in this Wagnerian concatena- ton.
 Except for use in the higher grade of papers the cut up logs are next ground up in grinding machines. The best pulp is produced by a chemical process that does not break up the fibers as the grind ing machines do. Paper machines have two ends. One is the dry end and the other the wet. The pulp enters via the wet end. where it passes through a screen and flows along like thin milk. The standard width of the wet machine is 72 inches. In one form of machine the pup flows along on an endless wire straining cloth of a fine enough mesh to permit the water to drain off without losing any of the pulp. The water mark is produced by the wire, and the arrange ment of the wires at what is called the dandy roll serves to determine whether the paper is to be laid or wove. While the thin stream of pulp is travelling along on the wire cloth it is mechanically shaken sideways so that the fibers of the pulp cross each other at all sorts of angles to give strength to the paper.
 After the pulp has passed through sev- eral kinds of rolls it passes on to an endless wet felt apron and so goes along to the pressure rollers. These rollers press out nearly all of the water left
 in the pulp after straining on the wire cloth, and here the pulp takes on the character of paper and is able to con tinue through all the other rollers with out the blanket support. It passes be- tween the drying and calendering rolls, some of which are heated to remove the last bit of dampness. As 1t comes out of the machine in its finished state the paper Is wound up into enormous rolls. which may contain a mile or more of paper

which said that in order to secure this depth of blue the monksh glaziers used to grind sapphires to powder and mix them with their glass.

And they are not crowded with too much story.
 But though the palette of the early glazier was so rich in quality with those splendid reds and ineffable blues, the se- cret of which has long been lost and other primary colors, it was poor in ex- tent To this poverty must be ascribed the curious coloring of many details. Boards are often painted blue, and faces usually brown. Some shades of rich purplish brown was in fact the ordinary flesh tint of the early glazier.
 The sunburnt effect of their brown vis- ages only accentuates the Oriental aspect of many of these glass figures.

SKETCH OF GREAT
 PAPER INDUSTRY Development Since Use of
 Wood Pulp Began IS NOW INDISPENSABLE First Wood Pulp Made Appearance in 1S70-Is Now Basis for Ninety
 Per Cent of All the Paper Made
IS NOW INDISPENSABLE
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 It would be hard to imagine New York or any other modern community getting along without paper. The paper makers say it could not be done, and when any one starts to count up the many purposes to which paper is applied it seems that the paper men are right We should have a hard time to get along without the product of the pulp mills For one thing and perhaps the thing we should miss most, there would be no printing unless the presses could be adapted to impressing the type on bolts of calico. The knowledge of steel and electricity which is passed on from year to year would degenerate into gossip.
 The real development in the printing business began when the machine made paper was brought out, In the early days, when all paper was made by hand five to 10 reams a day was considered a fair showing for one mill The first paper mill in the United States turned out hand made paper. the mill having been started at Troy in 1794. This mill, as well as the other pioneer mills, used rag pulp. Then in 1877 the first steam pulp mill was established at Pittsburg. The Fourdrinier brothers had invented a paper making machine in 1S0o, and within a few years other materials be- sides rags were utilized in making paper.
 Pulp made from straw made it's ap- pearance in 1857. coming from A factory at Fort Edward, N. r., and by the time the civil war began the newspapers were using this paper in such quantities that the price went up from S6 to $20 ton. The Straw paper was of a poor quality, brit tie and hard on the type. During the war the demand for news of the exciting events of the day made the demand for newspapers heavy. and as early as 1861 the American paper mills were turning out more paper than were those of Great Britain and France.
 The first wood pulp paper made it's appearance in 1870. Its merits were not Appreciated at first. but when the mak- CTS had learned to straighten and i'm prove it in various ways. the call for wood paper increased rapidly. Ninety mine per cent of the paper used today is made from wood pulp and all the grades are represented from the cheapest up to the finest kinds of calendered paper for artistic printing.
 The wood pulp industry begins in the wilderness. Starting with the cutting
