Facts About Paper.

1t has been asserted time and
again by those supposed to know
best, that the books we print now
will dryrot in a comparatively
short time. There is, of course,
a considerable amount of paper
that will last for many years, but
the most cursory glance at the
books of today, whose pages yel-
low and turn brown at the edges
| in a few years, shows clearly e.
nough that they are destined to
attain no great longevity. In the
early days of printing it was
hardly possible to employ any.
thing but first-class paper in
making books, for the reason
that wood fibre and wood pulp
paper had not then come into
use. At that time good cotton
and linen rags were turned into
fine, firm, pure white paper, well
able to withstand Indefinitely the
yellowing and disintegrating eff
J fects of time. AS the increase
in the demand for printing paper
: qrew apace, it was found tha
there We're not enough rags to gC
round. Thus wood pulp came in
to use. All vegetable fibre il

wood, esparto grass, straw, o
, other substances. When thes

clogged with gum, a substanc
