Permanent Printed By DR. WILLIA1 of the Governmer Perhaps nothing can be more interesting in a way, to the general historian, scientific and literary man than the certain knowledge of the fact that his writings and printed records on all subjects, inclusive of even photographic reproductions in the form of "half-tones." may be handed down to those who will come after us thousands of years hence. In the course of a study of various materials .suitable for the permanent preservation of valuable literary works, I investigated, among other fabrics, the linen wrappings used by the ancient Egyptians to incase the bodies of their dead. A specimen of such linen was obtained from the Metropolitan Museum of Arts, New York City, by the writer, and the age of the fabric is certified by the curator of Egyptian antiquities of the | museum. Of interest possiDiy to xue historiaii and Bible reader as well as tbose who reverence and love the work of the ancients, is the fact that the wrappings in question were taken from the body of King Merenptah, whom the Bible mentions as being the Pharaoh who ordered the exodus of the Jews from Egypt. The age belongs to the Nineteenth Dynasty, which would approximate the age of 3400 years, a tremendous space of time when one stops to consider the matter. The writer, while obtaining the fabrics and looking over the various specimens submitted to him, was very fortunate to obtain by mere accident B a piece containing pitch or bitumen spots, with which latter agent the Egyptians affixed the body to the inner coffin and which procedure is described by Pliny and Herodotus. The spots appealed rather strongly to the writer from the fact that they would seem to constitute conclusive proof of the lasting and non-fading properties of printing ink as manufactured and used to-day the wcfrld over. * The basis of all black printing ink 1s lampblack or carbon (soot) to which is added and blended boiled linseed oil, to serve as a vehicle, the oil being thoroughly mixed with the lampblack, or "milled," as it is known technically to the printing ink industry. Varnish, glycerine and a volaj tile dryer are sometimes added to meet the various requirements of the printing trade, but the basis is, or should be, always carbon (lampblack) and boiled linseed oil for black printing ink. The lampblack is obtained from a resinous material similar to the bitumen of the ancients that left the spots or impression on the linen. | The manner of receiving the ink Impression as obtained on paper or even linen fabric is made up of both a mechanical and a chemical union. By a chemical union I mean the fact that the linseed oil carries a certain proportion of the carbon or lampblack into the agent printed upon, thus staining the parenchyma of the cellulose cell. By a mechanical union, I mean the excess ink that may lodge on the surface of the agent printed upon by virtue of its adhesiveness. In the Egyptian mummy wrappings ! to which I have already referred the bitumen stain or chemic union has remained unto this day, as would the stain or impression of printing ink -,so received, beyond all doubt. As a further nroof of this statement and the unchanging color of carbon (lampblack) note should be taken of the color of coal, almost pure carbon, which for ages has retained its color. Lehner has called attention to the < lasting properties of linen fabrics as used by the ancients, and* urges a better quality of printing paper containing a larger proportion of linen fibre. The objection to paper, whether it Is composed of cotton, linen or wood fibres, as concerns printed re cords for a long period of time might be thus summarized: The fact that all paper is composed of very short fibres held together by a glue or size and the initial pressure given by the heated cylinders on the paper-making ma chine may be urged. Certain kinds or blotting paper may be mentioned I as an unsized or glueless paper, the fibres being held together by pressure only. The best grade of book paper may be cited as an enginesized or fiued paper. Long periods of time or exposure to dampness may disintegrate the size or glue that holds or binds the fibres together. Cf you are sufficiently interested, wet a piece of paper and note how easily the printed sheet drops to pieces. The bleaching process to which the paper stock is subjected would seem (o form a very important feature in connection with the lasting properties of paper also. Chlorine and f Dieacning puwuers are useu exuea| sively for this purpose, and the difficulty seems to be that when the elements are removed which go to make up the various colorings, both natural and artificial, of the paper stock before being bleached, the chlorine probably combines chemically in the form of a chloride or a hypochlorous oxide indirectly, from the fact that the chlorine will unite with nearly all elements directly save oxygen and a few others. Very likely for this reason it later exists as a weak acid in the paper stock, probably as hypochldrous, when the finished paper is I acted upon uy me moisiure ul nxc atmosphere. Tt is known that hypochlorous oxide will unite with water to form hypoehlorous acid. It is therefore a difficult matter to neutralize the bleached paper stock because of this chemical combination. The effect or tne process just described is noticed when the average book printing paper is exposed to the air, even under covei, for any length of time. Note, if you are interested, the light yellow tinge that makes its appearance, followed in due course of time by a dark yellowish green hue. This condition is followed later by an increasing brittleness to such an extent that one hesitates, in some instances, to turn a leaf down for fear of cracking the j Records on {jinen. . VI J. MANNING, -a n r-rrriLiny vmuu* l sheet. The yellow tinge is not noted \ so early in papers whose surfaces are sized, because the film of the size very likely protects the hypochlorous i oxide from the air. Sooner or later i it makes its appearance as a slight : discoloration. This chemical action, as the result of bleaching, must necessarily go on until the sheet is disin- ( tegrated. Although we have no posi- c tive proof of this latter statement, ( yet it is known that the slow continuous chemic action, once in motion, must continue as long as there is material left upon which to perform its work. The first paper makers used the ^ sun to bleach their paper stock, and while tliev were never enabled by this method to obtain the eitreme whiteness obtained by the use of chlorine j by modern paper makers, yet their vp product does not show the chemic action just described and the bleach- ^ ing appears to have been accomplished in a perfectly natural and harmless manner. In linen fabrics of a very fine mesh and texture and of an unbleached va- 1 riety, the objections raised against 1 the paper, it would appear, are easily t overcome. The fact that one can be t always sure of the absolute purity 1 of the linen so used as compared 1 with the uncertainty of even linen t paper and its composition, is very c important. The printing impression 1 so received upon the fabric is beauti- f fully clean cut, and stands out as r distinctly as, if not more so than on t paper. Even half-tone cuts can be t printed on linen. ? There is also the added fact Lhat the fibres of linen are very long, and as such are twisted into threads and j. these threads woven in such a manner c that each succeeding thread locks the g other In place in a mechanical man- s ner, as in the ancient Egyptian wrap- t pings which have defied time itself, even when exposed to the elements and the careless usages of ages. The further fact that the linen may be used in its unbleached state unacted upon by chemicals used for bleaching purposes, and the very important feature that the printing ink impression cannot be removed from the fabric, which is possible with comparative ease when parchment ia used as the substance printed upon, are two excellent reasons why linen should be used for documents which are intended to be permanent. It has been proposed, and the matter is now before the Joint Committee on Printing of Congress for action, to print upon linen sheets precisely the same as a sheet of paper, at the expiration of the regular paper edition, two copies of the more important government publicatinna It i<5 further inrnnncoil tr? on. case each volume so printed in a bath of paraffin wax and thus to seal the volume hermetically from extraneous or atmospheric influences. Taking the year of 1907 as a basis It will cost, approximately, to print two linen copies of. the revised edition of the Congressional Record, constituting some 5000 pages, not over $65 for the fabric so utilized. Xo change in existing printing machinery is necessary and it is but the work of a few moments to produce the printed linen sheets.?Scientific American. I Origin of Sausage. The sausage dates back to the year 897 It has been asserted that the Greeks in the days of Homer manufactured sausage, but this prehistoric mixture had nothing in common with our modern product. The ancient so-called sausage was composed of the same materials which enter in the make-up of the boudin of the French market and the blood pudding of the French-Canadian. The ancient sausage was enveloped in the stomach of goats. It was not until the tenth century that sausage made of hashed pork became known. It was in or near the year 1500 that, thanks to the introduction into Germany of cinnamon and saffron, the sausage of Frankfort and of Strasburg acquired a universal reputation. Radiography and Pearls. Mr. John J. Solomon has developed a plant for radiographing pearl oysters, to ascertain not only the existence, but the stage of development of the pearls without killing the animals or opening their shells. As many as 500 oysters have been submitted to examination in one minute, hnriHrn^c r% f chollc enroot r> /-. f-mr Iiuuuibut} U4 oiiwmj cau \Jll u U aj being exposed at one time. Oysters showing no pearls are returned to their beds; those showing partially developed pearls are sent into "hospital" to be nursed, while those whose pearls are full grown suffer the fate that attends all things, which possess something that man wants. It is alleged that the treatment is not injurious to the oysters'?at least from their masters' point of view. The Girl For Him.

' After spending the entire day at the 1 telegraph office he was finally rewarded late in the evening by an affirmative answer.

The ancient custom of baking bread in Greece is being changed. In the old oven a fire of branches is kindled in the compartment where the bread is baked and one of ordinary wood in that beneath. When the oven is sufficiently heated the brushwood and cinders are raked out of the upper and the bread is put in. The change, made in the interests of the protection of the forests, is to fit the lower compartment for burning coke at one-half the cost of wood. Many of the bakers of Athens have already changed their form of oven. In the mountains of the South are found the only pure Anglo-Saxon communities in the world, outside of rural England. The pure-bred American stock retains the characteristics of the people from whom Abraham Lincoln and Andrew . Jackson sprang. In India the printed - book is regarded as vulgar, if not irreverent, and no devout Hindoo would allow his sacred writings to be contaminated by contact with leather prepared from the hide of some animal's dead body.

Common Canses of Insomnia?Indigestion and Hunger. Dr. William Stevens says that insomnia is not a disease itself, but the effect of an unhealthy condition of body or mind. When the cause is removed the insomnia may be expected to disappear. . Every physician has had. stubborn cases of it which would not yield to any treatment and for which a change of air or of scene became necessary. Hut such cases as these should not occur, and do occur only when the sufferer has neglected precautions that should have been taken When the trouble first made itself manifest. Insomnia results from causes which can be removed if attended to in season. The most common cause is found in the digestive organs. Either unsuitable food, causing insomnia as a feature of indigestion, or insufficient food, causing '.he patient to be kept awake by hunger. There are few things which can be universally recommended as diet for sleeplessness, since what will agree i with one man will disagree with anr ! other. But two things that may almost always be recommended are lettuce and celery.?London Globe. The Venus of Milo's Arms.
