Circular Saws of Paper.
Paper is at present used for all possible purposes in various indus tries and in all possible forms. It has even been possible by means of compression to give it a degree of hardness comparable with stone, so that it: can be used as building material. The latest use for paper, however, is perhaps the most peculiar. A factory is said to exist in England which is manufacturing circular saws from paper. These paper saws are used for the manufacturing of fine furniture, veneer and other thin plates of wood, which must be treated especially carefully. Some time ago circular saws made from drawing paper were shown in an English exposition. The saws were driven by an electric motor and produced fine boards, which could not have been made better even by the finest steel saw. The veneers made in this way are so smooth that the cabinet makers can use them without further planing.
