PAPER MAKING.

Fifty thousand trunks of trees have to be sacrificed every day to make the paper necessary for the printing of tho Englisk journals and .periodicals managed by Lord NorthelifEe, either as proprietor or as ./principal .director. His lordship long ago gave up drawing on the forests of Norway because of the contimial rise in the price of Euro-, pean timber and he is now at.the head of a. company which is exploiting tho timber resources of Newfoundland-.

Here the, industry has created.a. regular town of, 300' inhabitants, all employed by the company. Tho trees are felled 'and carried by water to the saw pit, where huge circular saws cut them up into small pieces, which are then pounded by steam beetles into a paste which is fiont by snip to Grave send, whore 1000 tons of paper are turned out of the factories every day. This is the output which is found necessary for the printing of tho 25,000,000 copies of the 60 different journals and periodicals- controlled by Lord Northcliffe.—"Lyttelton Times"
