It would, there- fore, be better to strengthen the em- g pire's concentrated navy, so that, by dealing a quick, powerful blow, it could worst the enemy at' -the very outset. This presupposes, -of course, that if war against Great Britain breaks out it will come from Germany or some other European power. Can- ado is certainlyin no slightest danger g the United States. A war withand our northern neighbor is unthinkable, War with Japan is almost as remote a contingency, contingency, and the intervening Pa- cific is a perfect protection against from that 'quarter. So that, while Canada might take a natural pride in building up a fop navy for her own defence, it would be a mere plaything without utility to herself or to the empire. As an auxiliary to the British navy it would be of no ac- count. Nothing but Dreadnoughts are of any account nowadays. Teeswater.

Thegreat bulk of the paper now made p p is manufactured from the wood of trees, the point that is of greatest,im- portance to the papermakers being to choose vegetable fibers having the highest percentage of product in pulp. The maximum product, which is ob• tamed from such woods as poplar, does not exceed sixty per cent. Most of the paper made to -day is inferior to the paper of old times, because it is so largely used for ° the purposes for which perishability is not objection. able, and cheapness is what is desired. Insufficient removal of the chemicals by washing is the cause of deteriora- tion of most modern paper. Paper is nowput to numberless uses, includingpart its employment for wheels, rails, can- non, horseshoes, gem -polishers, as- !shafted tubes, anti papier-mache sub- atitutes for metal, stone and wood, Even hollow telegraph poles have been made of paper. The use of paper in Japan is very extensive, and on the Continent of Europe, barrels, bottles, thread, whole houses, and --in Nor- a church holding one thou- sand persons, have been made of paper.
