Abstract

Paper from rubber. Researches which have been going on in London for sometime, point to the strong probability that newspapers will at no great distance of time be printed on paper produced from rubber, instead of on paper made from wood-pulp, as now. The results, says the Manchester Guardian, already derived are such that art paper of the kind used in the production of fashion journals and the big illustrated newspapers can be made from rubber. Further experiments are to be made with a view to making newsprint from the same material, and it is on this point, perhaps, that interest in the printing industry will centre.
