Stone ACE BIotter.

Instead of blotting paper We soon
may be using a piece of stone to dry
our letters. This is not as unreason-
able as 1t sounds, for there is kind
of stone found at the bottom Of GER
tain hot springs which is excellent for
blotting purposes, observes an ex.
change. The stone is a sediment that
has formed In the bottom Of the
springs, and may be had In mex
haustible quantities. 1t is highly alb
sorbent, though not soft In the or
binary meaning Of the word. When
placed on a sheet of paper that has
been freshly written upon 1t will abb
sorb the surplus Ink more quickly and
satisfactorily than the usual blotter.
The scarcity Of all kinds Of paper
caused by the war and the growing
demand for varieties more important
than blotting paper makes It probable
that we may be buying yard Of stone
before long to use as blotting pad.
When one side becomes heavily linked
1t can be cut of with knife and the
remainder of the stone used again.
