Read Secrets of Parchment.
Much of the lore of ancient pallmp
? wests parchment manuscripts from
which the original writing has been
erased and ' written over at a later
date ? is about to be laid bare by the
j mysterious power of the uJtra violet
| light produced by the mercury. vapor
j lamps. Previous to 1914 the dlscov
J erer of a new method of using the
I rays, a Benedictine monk of the Bava
) rlati order, had made such progress
| that many of the ancient paivhriients
I In the Benedictine abbey of Weaso
I briinn had been made to disclose their
| secrets.
- Iii principle the new method Is quite'
simple, being based upon the peculiar
ity. possessed by many organic sub
stances, of fluorescing ? glowing with
a pale canary -colored light ? when
brought under tbe influence of the In
visible ultra-violet rays. The old
parchments possess this property to a
remarkable degree, while the lrtk of
the older writings upon them, contain
ing Ingredients Insensible to the ac
tion 1>f the rays, remains dark and
forms a contrast of sufficient Intensity
to register cJearly on a photographic
plate. Old paintings, overlaid with
new ones on the original canvas, l>av?
also been discovered by this method. ?

Sewn Plywood.
In England there has recently ap
peared a special plywood material for
aircraft construction. This material,
we are told, must not be confounded
with ordinary plywood, for it Is some
thing infinitely superior. It Is a super
plywood, so claims its manufacturer,
which is actually sewn together. The
layers are first cemented together with
waterproof material and then stitched*
through In parallel rows about 1*4
Inches apart. This gives a rigidity and
resilience unattainable by any other
method. Weight for weight, it Is the
strongest material yet evolved. Tlin
sheets are made to any desired size or
shape up to 8 feet wide by AO feet
long, and from one-eighth to five
eighths inch thick, thus eliminating
waste In the conversion. ? Scientific
