By this process the water is squeezed out and the pulp jiressedtogether. The frame with the pulp on it is then set to dry in the sun. In the courseof some ten hours it is quite dry, and the sheet of paper can then be lifted oft theframe. It now only remains to smooth the surface. This is done by applying a thinpaste of Iice flour to the sur-face, and then rubbing it downwith a smooth stone. (KewBull., March, 1888.) Stringy bark, The. Eu- calyptnx ohJiqua.
