wood pulp

A Frenchman has discovered a process, la soyeuse, of making spruce wood pulp into a substitute for cotton.

Barks, as for tanning or dyeing, seeds and gums, and the wood pulp for paper are on exhibition.

It is the wood-pulp industry which is at present destroying the Canadian forests.

The latter methods are at present almost exclusively used for the preparation of chemical wood pulp.

This material has qualities which cannot readily be obtained from other fibres, such as rag and wood pulp.
