the Music Box TheAter. New York,
she was so severely injured that for
days her life hung In the balance.
,ehe pluck of the little dancer, how

ORIGIN OF PAPER.
Credit Due Scholarly Chinaman,
Says Forestry Writer.

Who made the first sheet OF paper?
The credit for this achievement az
cording to the American Forestry AS
sociation, is due to scholarly
member OF the court Of the Han
dynasty, in the year IS AID. For his
achievement Ts'ai-lun was, forty
years later, raised to the rank of
marquis. II appears that Ts'ai-iun,
believing that old bamboo tablets and
stylus had outlived their usefulne IS,
set for himself the task OF making
new writing materials. After thirty
years he produced the first hand sheet
of paper, and il was made from the
bark of a mulberry tree.
Prior to Ts'ai-lun's day leaves of
trees and various barks' used in crude
form had served the Egyptians, Ro-
mans and other nations as paper.
Ts'ai-lun, however, did not use the
crude inner bark of the tree as the
records. He did use the bark. but
merely as raw material from which
he produced a finished sheet OF paper
by series Of processes which. crude
as they may seem today, were the for
bears of paper manufacture today.
For eight centuries after Ts'ai-lun's
discovery China monopolized the art
of paper-making. She managed to
keep the process secret until it was
captured by the Arabs, who improved
tree and using linen or cotton rags
instead Thus wood as a raw mate
rial for paper making passed into
oblivion until the dawn of the nine
teenth century. Even up to 1860
rags were the principal material
used in paper-making.
Most books on paper-makInS date
the first wood pulp process from 1S40,
but the American Forestry Associa-
tion cites evidence to show that it
was forty years earlier. A quaint
little volume, dedicated to George
the Third, was printed in London in
1900. The writer of the book was
one Matthias Hoops. Most of the
pages of the book are made from
straw, but the appendix appears
quite different, and as to it koop
says:
THE following lines are printed on
paper made from wood pulp alone,
the produce of this country, without
any intermixture OF rags, waste pa
per. bark, straw or any other vege-
table substance"
What wood Koop used or what
process he employed is not known,
but it is now historically conceded
that he made paper from wood pulp
forty years before the ground wood
process was officially discovered.
