YARNS FROM PAPER
New Industries Spring Up as Re.
suit of War.
Factory in England Now Spins
Threads Fine Enough for Gas
Nantes and Strong Enough
to Tie Up a Ship.

London.-London has, no doubt, add.
ed many new industries to its list
since the war began, but few, per.
haps, of greater importance and fasci.
mating interest than that of paper spin

have had the opportunity of see.
ing some wonderful things in the way
of yarns and textiles manufactured
from paper pulp, and also of seeing a
demonstration plant at work spinning
threads of paper into Irvine fine
enough for gas nantes and strong
enough to hold a ship.
This wonderland is to be found in
Southwark and at the works of the
Textilite Engineering company, which
is now supplying British-made ma
chinery, made according to its pat
ents, for the manufacture of every
kind of thing imaginable which for
merly was made of hemp and jute
and fax.
The things you see around you"
said Mr.. George Seaton Mills, the
managing director of the company
are new, and yet they are not new.
What | mean is that the people Of
China, in the days of Confucius, prob
ably twisted strip of paper In the
fingers absent-mindedly and found it
had remarkable tensile strength, but
what we have done Is to make that
idea into practical proposition.
THE Germans, with their faculty
for imitation, have spun paper for
years, but they never could spin il
fast enough to make 1t pay. We now
have found means of spinning the pa
per four or five times faster than the
Germans and of producing the goods
four per cent cheaper"
Mr.. Mills then showed me around
the works and demonstrated all the
processes, from the raw material,
which in this case is a reel Of fine
Canadian wood pulp, to the highly
finished fancy wall coverings in pat
tern and color
The paper is first cut into strips &C
cording to the width of yarn or rome
strand required, then twisted on
frames very similar to those used in
cotton or wooden manufacture. and
afterward, by means of spools of welt
and warp, the material is transferred
to looms which will weave anything.
plain or fancy ribbed or patterned
incidentally, the invention will
solve the great problem of how to
make up the supply of packing string,
for paper is now proved to be capable
of carrying any reasonable weight.

RABBITS AS ORCHARD PESTS
Department of Agriculture Recon-
I mends Wash to Be Applied to
Trunks of Trees With Brush.

In the sections of the United States
where heavy snow abounds in winter,
rabbits, especially jack rabbits, become
a serious pests in young orchards, by
girdling the trees just above the snow
line. Various methods of protecting
trees have been used with more or less
success, particularly that of wrapping
the trees with thin sheets of wood
made for the purpose, or coiled wire
wrappers.
The United States department of ag-
riculture recommends the following

never married There was an old love
affair people whispered Anyway
Madge, accustomed to the somewhat
simple society of the little place, was
at first tiattered and then interested
by the doctors attentions.
Il think | can cure your sister,
said Doctor Forman, one hot summer
day, when the two stood together
in the garden. And | shall try with
dual motive-my desire to heal
and my desire to please you
Madge was very much touched. She
turned and looked at the doctor, and
she saw the goodness on his face
Her look told him that his love was
answered.
"Madge," he said, taking her by the
hands, "afterward-a fterward, may |
dare to hope?"
Yes" the girl whispered, and, turn
ing. ran into the house.
Three days later Elsie was operated
on and-cured The operation was
simpler than the doctor had dared to
hope. 1t was merely splint of frac-
tured bone that pressed against the
spinal cord. But the function of the
nerves had to be established and the
limbs and their muscles accustomed
to their task. 1t would be three
months before Elsie could walk with,
out crutches.
During the days that followed set
back after setback occurred. Elsie
was delicate, and often the doctor.
seated at her bedside, wondered
whether she would ever pull through
to strength again He himself
was a tower of strength in those
days.
Madge, devoted to her sister, never
theless could not restrain all her ad.
mirers. They called, they invited her
to drive-and she found the relaxation
from the strain Of watching grateful
Gradually, too, she began to feel the
relief of young society after that of
the doctor And she began to feel,
too, that life with him would be a
difficult one.
There was twenty-five years be.
tween their ages. Madge was gay,
touched with all the zest of youth.
None knew of her engagement to the
doctor. who, seated in the room with
Elsie, watched his patient slowly come
back to strength. He must have known
in those days that Madge was slipping
away from him. His manner grew
more formal, but it was always kindly.
Madge lived in terror of the day
when the doctor would claim her. She
loved no one else, but she knew tha

she did not love him. 1t was respect,
I not love. She shed many tears in
that time. The doctor never chided
her, never said anything.
At last the day came when Elsie
could walk For the first time since
childhood she walked without
crutches. And Madge knew that the
time had arrived when her promise
must be redeemed.
She came into the room Elsie had
just gone out into the sunlight She
basked in it, she seemed to absorb
its golden tints into her cheeks: her
frame grew vigorous. They saw her
outside the window.
Robert, when do you want me?"
Madge asked.
The doctor looked at her gravely.
Are you sure, my DEAR" pc asked
She nodded and kissed his cheek
Next month, Roberto she asked.
He took her in his arms and looked
gravely into her face. Next month,
then,' he answered.
But that evening she sobbed out
her sorrow in her sisters arms.
q don't love him, Elsie" she wept.
Il love no one. ] don't feel able to
love. 1t was his strength, his good,
ness that fascinated me. And now

For me?" asked Elsie, with culver
ing lips
Yes, dear, and | would pay it
hundred times
But he must know 1t would break |
his heart if he married you when
you did not care for him
mo, he shall never know" said |
Madge, and, rising, she passed softly |
out of the room
On the next afternoon Elsie and
Doctor Forman were seated together
in the invalid 8 room.
I'VE are to be married next month";"
said Robert Forman. 'Madge has
told you?"
Yes, answered the girl.
She looked at Forman, and then she
knew that she must strike to infiict
the blow
Robert she said, laying her hand
on his, ARE you sure you love
Madge?"
The doctors grave eyes were fixed
IN hers. Why, do you ask that?"
le asked in turn.
"Because-oh, Robert. she does not ,
owe you. There, now have told you!
She is willing TO marry you so that
you shall never be hurt. She would
