USES OF PAPIER MACHE

A considerable demand has jjyjwn up for surgical appliances and splints; made of the lightest material possible. Tapier rnaclie aud vulcanite have been found invaluable in somo military hospitals, and thev afford sreat relief to warriors who liavo lost a limb or limbs. The 'Weekly Irisli Times" quotes as an example a leg batli made of papiov niaclie, wliicli has a. life in normal circumstances of six months, and cosls only Is. fld. A vulcanite chill-strap weighs only half ail ounce and its cost is nominal. All kinds of contrivances liavs been, devised, and their small cost is out of nil proportion to their utility. At Mulberry Walk Chelsea, appliances of these light descriptions are manufactured by voluntary workers, ■whose output lias exceeded 800,000. Nevertheless, tho demand for such articles is far in excess of the supply, and Irish women are organisin? a vacant house m Dublin, placed at the disposal of the committee, to enable papier macho and vulcanite appliances to be. manufactured there.
