How Paper Yarn Is Waterproofed.

Yarns of paper came into promi
nence during the war, but this mate
rial has made place for itself and n
great deal of it still Is in use for cer-
tain purposes. The durability and de-
STABILITY Of this material has been
greatly increased by the process OF
making IT waterproof, which has been
used but the best method seems to
be first to pass the yarn through
a bath Of gum, tannin and siIicate OF
soda at so degrees c, and then through
cold bath of basic formate of aIumi-
num. Fabrics Of paper yarns in this
country have so far been used prin-
cipally for packing purposes and GER
tain types of bags, notably those used
for onions. '''
