sensItIzInn BLUEPRINT Paper.

In an attempt to engineer around
the difficulty encountered in moist eli
mates where special care must be
taken in storing quantities of unex-
posed blueprint paper, a simple appa-
ratus has been built which allows an
individual user to sensitize paper as
1T is needed. In operating it, roll
of blank paper is fed into the machine
from point. near the base. AS this
is drawn upward it is passed over a
coating cylinder which is supplied
with a chemical solution. After the
paper is treated, it is passed across
a roller in an electrically heated dry
ing oven and is then wound. The
paper is AZ inches in width and may
be used within an hour after the sem
sitizing operation. The machine has
an output varying from $50 to 200
yards an hour.-Popular Mechanics.

Nobody has yet been able to define
art correctly, because every concep-
tion of art differs with the individual.
Nobody really knows what truth is,
yet art is said to be truth plus per-
sonality. Personality itself Is our
most incomprehensible enigma. Art
must possess a supreme and constant
ly increasing interest. The best and
most unfailing test of art is when it
endures. Time, therefore, is necessary
to. proclaim it. All masterpieces
turned out overnight are not to be
trusted. The true artist is, therefore,
most likely to be unknown. Time
crowns him master with one hand and
destroys him with the other.-Life.
