the paper manufactory may dispose of them。〃
〃Rags are as beauties； which concealed lie；
But when in paper how it charms the eye；
Pray save your rags； new beauties it discover；
For paper truly every one's a lover：
By the pen and press such knowledge is displayed；
As wouldn't exist； if paper was not made。
Wisdom of things； mysterious； divine；
Illustriously doth on paper shine。〃
Gen。 Walter Martin； proprietor of the township of
Martinsburg； Lewis county； N。 Y。； erected a paper…mill；
which was run by John Clark & Co。 This was
in 1807。 They gave notice that rags would be received
at the principal stores in Upper Canada and
the Black river country； which （like many of the
advertisements of the early papermakers； both in
England and America）； was accompanied by a poetic
address to the ladies； one stanza of which ran thus：
Sweet ladies pray be not offended；
Nor mind the jests of sneering wags；
No harm； believe us； is intended；
When humbly we request your rags。〃
The employment of complementary color screens
has made it possible to photograph colors which formerly
indicated no contrast with white back grounds
in the negative and later in the finished picture。
This discovery has destroyed the value of 〃safety〃
papers； based on complete tints or possessing colored
lines or words。
〃IN MANUSCRIPT。
〃The rain storm wields a noisy pen
Adown the pane；
Wet splashes leaving； blots of strange white ink；
Blunders of rain。
〃And yet no poems of ecstatic men；
Olympic faced；
Could be as wonderful as these； I think；
In cipher traced。〃
