Manufacturing Paper From Cornstalk.
The chemists of the United
States Department of Agriculture
have at last solved the problem
of how to turn the millions of
tons of cornstalks wasted annual
ly. After years of experiment,
the department now reports that
the vast .quantity of material
heretofore considered valueless
and destroyed evary year by the
farmers of the country be utilized,
thus saving much of the remain
ing wood reserve of the United
States, and bringing about the
manufacture of paper from an
annual crop.
The first practical samples of
this new paper were manufactur
ed in Washington, and consist cf
five grades in five colors. One
grade, is dark gray, thick and
heavy, resembling parchment.
There is a lighter grade of the
same character, two shades of yel
low and one of white. The latter
are manufactured from the hard
outside part of the oprr stalk, and
the former from tjte interior or
the pith. The yerrow grades have
much longer fiber, and resemble
paper made from cotton rags or
linen, being to the touch and
pliable, and appearing to have
been made from material of en
tirely different character, from
that used in the gray product.
In the process of the experi
ments which resulted so success
fully, the "soda-cooked" method
was employed. This process
many manufacturers of paper
have found to be the best treat
ment for the finer grades of wood
pulp paper. The constalk pulp
can be cooked in from two to two
and one-half hours, as against
twelve to fourteen hours needed
m treating wood. It is claimed
that even at the present primitive
stage of experimentation, corn
stalk paper can be made almost
as cheaply as wood- pulp paper,
though the latter "industry has
been developing for the past halt
century. The belief is freely
expressed by the scientists who
have been conducting these ex
periments, that when proper ma
chinery is brought out, and the
farmers grow cornstalk in locali
ties where they can be moved
cheaply to the no ill, the cost will
be fully fifty per cent less than
paper now manufactured from
wood. At the present period,
with wood at $8 a cord, it costs
$13 a to manufacture a ton of
wood-pulp. With cornstalks at
$5 at ton, and adding the cost of
bringing the stalks from the near
by farms to the laboratory of the
Department of Agriculture at
Washington, pulp can be manu
factured at $14 a ton. These
figures looked upon as prophetic
of the future, no new product ev er
having been produced in the past
at anything near the price reach
ed subsequently with commercial
develorment.
No special growth of corn is re
quired, as the experiments have
shown that any kind will answer
purpose of manufacture, The kind
up, however, was he -common
Virginia and Maryland field corn,
but that grown anywhere will
do as well. The discovory is un
doubtedly dne of the most impor
tant of its kind made in recent

Our Macadamized Road Fiasco,
The magnificent macadamized
roads of Europe are the admira
tion of all Americans who have
an opportunity to make use of
them. Scientifically constructed
and most diligently repaired and
maintained, they provide to-day,
as they have provided in many
cases for centuries, a smooth,
hard, and well-drained surface,
which never varies in its excel
lence from season to season, or
from year to year.
Here in the United States the
art of macadamized roadbuilding,
i - jt
at least cn a scale or any magni
tude, is of comparatively recent
date. Such roads as we have con
structed have been built, as
rule, under enperienced engineers
and according to those 'principles
Mhich have been thoroughly test
ed in Europe. General lv, our
new roads, on their completion,
are of excellent quality. The
work is well done that there is n"
reason why, with proper mainten
ance, they should not show the
same wearing qualities as similar
roads abroad.
As a matter of fact, in the ma
jority of the cases, our roads, after
a single season's wear, begin to
show signs of going to pieces, and
frequently, after two or three
seasons' wear, have lapsed into a
condition that is better that of a
common conntrv dirt road. If
the top dressing has not disap
peared entirely, it will be found
in the shape of a deep roadway ;
the stripped surface will be worn
mora or deeply into ruts, or bam
mered into hollows ; and not in
frequently the underlying courses
of large broken stone and rock
will be clearly discernible.
Why do American macadam
roads go to pieces so swiftly,
while those in Europe maintain
their fine surface indefinitely?
The answer is to be found in the
fact that Europe they have a care
ful system of road maintenaoce,
and in the UnitSd States we have
none, or practically none. Euro
pean roadbuilding and supervi
sors, or whatever they may be
called, clearly understanl that
there is "no engineering work
that depends more absolutely
for integrity for its integrity
and permanence upon careful
attention and upkeep than does a
macadamized highway They un
derstand, moreover, that there is
no work of the kind in which the
old adage, "a stitch in time saves
nine," is more true than in this:
and consequently, their system of
road maintenance involves a con
stant and careful inspection, and
the immediate rapair of any spot
in the road, however small, that
shows incipient signs of breaking
down. Hence the work of keep
ing up the European roads is be
ing done all the time ; in many
places ; and by a large army of in
dividual laborers. The solitary

row, pick and Bhovel, and little

Whistling in Church.
Harry P. Bcsson, of Reading,
as his friends in Worcester say,
whistled in church while attend
ing divine worship in that city re
cently. When asked about it Mr.
Bosson said he was not asleep and
explained his action by telling the
following story: "The minister
said jast before the contribution
that any one who put 50 cents or
more into the contribution box
was entitled and expected to
whistle. As the collectors were
on their way the whistling came
from all parts of the room and was
not far from universal. When it
came to me it was up to me to dig
dovn and content myself with a
whistle."

Mere, in tne uuitea otates, we
know little or nothing of such
road maintenance as this. No
sooner is a stretch of new road ac
cepted and paid for, than it is left
to the tender mercies of the traffic
and the weather, incipient ruts
aud hollows, instead of receiving
tae immediate care of the road
mender, are allowed to remain
full of the standing water of the

deepened and widened by the wear
of the passing traffic. When the
work of destruction has procteded
unhindered to a certain stage of

it a few hundred tons of lop dress
