There is wothing remarkable in the first part of the operation. The paper, as it comes from the factories, is cut in squares or diagouvals measuring thirty or forty inches, special diagonal shapes being chosen for particular cutting-dies, in order to save waste which would follow from the sheet not being especially adspted to the die. Each sheet will average thirteen envelopes, which are cut out by dies of innumerable sizes snd shapes, but all verging on the diamond, five hundred sheets being placed on the presses at a time.

The folding and running machines are now bronght into use, and no more fascinating oocupation can be found for a while than to walch their lightuing-like motions as they turn out finished envelopes at the rate of seventy- fivea minute. Each of these machines requires no other attendant than a girl who reoecives the covelopes as they are forced out, binds them and packs them into boxes.

Thay would be thenceforth attendant on the sun, but with this y y, that no matter what perturbations underwent, their paths would always pass near #0 the path of their t planet. Even if in some future citenit a comet of this sort came quite close—as it very well might—to the planet it originally started from, it would etill, very much disturbed, follow a path po this charaoteristio, however different from the path which it had before traversed. After many mil in a fow thousands of years, wonld re- duce the span of its circuit.
