The World's Friend (Paper.)

(By Bbknabd Owes.)

The popoUr idea of paper ia that it la one of the frailest of substances, and Is only useful as a medium for writing ©r printing upon, or aa aooiivenieub material for wrapping parcels. If this ware the whole trutb, it might possibly t be argned that the world would be quite aa happy without p*per. True,! tibare would be no newspapers and very few letters, while for books wo should have to go back to clay taMets or in» gcripted slips of wood or ivo y. We should certainly know lesl, but. perhaps we should worry less, and st live longer. Be this a? it in*y, we have not to face such a contingency and so seed not speculate upon its possible ' consequences. Paper has come to stay,; for ©veh if all the wool-bearing animals j died outj ao<3 all the £»x and cotton ' plants f>edßh<stj, so that rags became extinct because there were do more textile fabrics to wear oat, paper could still be made from grass and wood pulp, not to mention other possible materials. There is bo doabjb, too, that in the future, paper is destined to play a greater part thao ever in the economy of every-day life. Already it is U3ed for purposes uudroamt of a few years ago. It has proved itself $tronger than wood, lighter and more easily worked than metal, and so thoroughly water proof a? to remain unchanged, even when exposed to the weather for incte« | finite periods, At the present time, paper houses are In daily use, paper trains are speed ing through the country, and paper furniture exists unsuspected in many a home! The sculptured proscenium of the theatre, and (the panelled ceilings of the mansion are, as often as not, noth ing more than paper. Visitors, to the Royal Military Hospital at Netby during reoeut months will have noticed a number of gleaming white itraotaret close beside the main build'- j Ing. They are temporary wards meeeesUated by the large numbers of wounded men sent home from the war la Sooth Africa. But the interesting polcij about theee structures is that they are made of paper ! Of course, the framework and floors are made of wood, but the sides and roof consist of large panels of paper. These might with advantage have been made thicker and more durable, but they have proved their capacity to resist the at mosphere, and to provide oar wounded soldiers with a perfectly dry and warm shelter. The chief advantages offered by these buildings ase their lightness and cheapness, ani the readiness with which they can be transported and erected, Everything that can be done with matclvboarcHng can be accom plished more readily and quits as effectively with pap.^r. To construct railway carriages of piper is surely a satisfactory evidence of the strength and durability of the material. It is odd that the fact should be so little known, but nearly all the modern carriages I—especially of the higher classes— on our English railways are j now constructed mainly of piper psn^la held together by an iron or wooden friaiework, Toe ap-to-date railway carriage is a very different thing from the ugly, bare, covered track of the past, The curved rocf, decorated with a pretty paitetn in low reliof, and tha haadsomelypanelled divisions between the compartments, with their charwing views of scenery reached by the line on which one is travelling;, generally call forth the admiration of the traveller, who little thinks that it is all made of paper covered with a veneer of Lin crusta Walton, Not only is the material cheaper than wood, but it is lighter, more easily worked, absolutely waterproof, and! will never crack, at the Millboard Works at Sunbury these panels and roofe are being; turned oat in.large numbers everyday, in order to meet the ever increasing demand. Wot only trains, bat tramcars are similarly constructed, and if the secrets of the carriage builder could bo reveal ed, we should find that paper enters largely into the construction of the nimble and necessary hansom cab: Paper not only conies to the help of the wouoded soldier, but it is in a fair way to be the cause of his wounds. We do not refer to the fact that the corres pondence and altimtta that lead to wars (ire written on paper, bat to the more surprising fact that this material ii soon likely to be used in the manu facture of the munitions of war,

Quite recently the British Govern ment has been making enquiries into the co@b and behavioar of paper gun stocks 1 Experiment has proved that they are quite as durable as wood, while niQch cheaper. It ia highly pro bable that they will soon be adopted by fcbe military authorities, and Tommy Atkins, ac he perspireß under the tropic eao, will bless the day that bring a lighter weapon ta his hand. Paper bullets have not yet b9en aerionaly pro po9ed, but some experiments go to show thfltt.they would be qaite as effective, and probably even more dangerous, than the eoft-oosed dttm-dum.

Farnitnre, also, can b8 ra i.de of paper. Indeed, the so-called leather ette, which forms the seats of certain types of cheaper chairs, is Uttle else, Bat thick millboard can be cut and turned in a lathe exactly like wood, and there Is no practical diffhulty 'in the way of making tables, chairs, &ad pictee frames of the material,. In fact, i 6 has already been dona, with success, The haodsome dado, the elaborate cornice, and the- panelird ceiling, are now often temposed of a kind of coarsp, moulded miliboard known as " Oaia.eoid,"' I* will come as a surprise to many; a smoker to learn thafc his p?pe ia.. made of paper. Of coarse,, we ckhoot refer to all pipes, bnfc there is on the market at the present time a widely advertised pipe, the bowl or which profess fco be made of another material, but is really made of paper pulp., solidified under enormous pres sure. It is quite fireproof, bat a few hours 1 immersion In boiling water wi' < redaee it to its original palp.
