Wall Paper Superseded.—According to the Boston Transcript, a man in Cambridge, Mass., has made a new iuvention by which wood hangings will take the place of paper. The Transcript says : —" A very delicate, simple, and beautiful machine has been constructed, which will take a portion of a tree after it has been cut the right length and width, and shave it up into thin ribbons as wide as a roll of house paper, making 150 to the inch. These rolls of wood are placed on the walls by paper-hangers with paste and brush, precisely in the same manner as paper. The wood is wet when used, and really Avorks easier than paper,it is much more tough and pliable. In these days when variety is sought for, one can finish the walls of his house in different woods to suit his taste. One room can be finished in bird's-eye maple, another in chestnut, another in cherry, another in white-wood, and so on. Thus he has no imitation, but the real genuine article upon his walls."
