How Blotting Paper Absorbs

This Is due to what we call capillary

The first principle et blotting paper
rests, 'on this attraction, for while or-

leads the ink, till' at last every separ-

Over and above' this principle of at-

which have the -property of absorbing
moisture. The result is our blotting
paper which absorbs till It can hold
