Can You Tell?
Who Discovered WOOdpulp Paper?
By r. j. aud A. W. Bodmer

The discovery of many valuable
things can be traced 10 the door Of
accident. Until tho year 1910 paper
was made of rags. In that year tiny
wasp. building her nest OF selected wood
fbers. softening them to pulp with
saliva and kneading them into cells
for her larva. led to the discovery that
paper could be made in much the same
manner. Gottfried Keller accidentally
stepped upon wasp $ nest. lie stopped
and examined the crushed mass be-
meath his feet and found it to he pliab!e
and yet tough in texture-of texture
much like the paper he was manuiac-
turing from rags. After close cxamina-

With a friend. Hendrick Noetcr.
Keller began his Investigations. They
decided to initiate the wasp. and started
to granulatr wood as they saw waSps
which the wasp did also, they ground
it under an ordinary grindstone. In
place Of the saliva used by the wasp in
converting the fibrous material into
pulp. they substituted sweet water.
Their first experiment resulted in a
pulp very similar TO that made from
choicest rags. This they carried through
20 manufacture. adding a small proper
ton of rags, and they had the first
wood pulp paper. 1t was of good quail

When Visitors are present. and chill
dren OF the family are ready to retire
for the night it is the correct thing
for every child in turn to say good
night t. each visitor, mentioning the
names as he does so. If the guests
remain overnight. the morning greetings
are made in the same way by the chill
dren-not merely the curt Good
morning" but Good morning, Mrs
Prescott" "GoodmOrning. DR.. Pres.

of the person adds pleasing personal
courtesy t. any greeting.
when children pass a group Of visi-
