A descriptive catalogue of useful fiber plants of the world, including the structural and economic classifications of fibers descriptivecatal09dodg Year: 1897 DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE. 309 days it is taken out of the jars, and having heeu well washed to free it from the lime, it is beaten with a wooden mallet (for about two hours) until it becomes a mass of pulp. A frame of netting about 6 feet long, and of width varying from 18 to 5 inches, is set afloat in water, and the pulp, having first been again mixed up in water, is skillfully poured out onto the frame so as to be equally distributed over it. The frame is then lifted out of the water, and a small wooden roller is ruu over the surface of the pulp. By this process the water is squoezed out and the pulp pressed together. The frame with the pulp on it is then set to dry in the sun. In the course of some ten hours it is quite dry, and the sheet of paper can then be lifted off the frame. It now only remains to smooth the surface. This is done by applying a thin paste of rice flour to the sur- face, and then rubbing it down with a smooth stone. (Kew Bull., March, 1888.)
