Tiny circles of wastepaper which fall from the perforating machines at the Bureau of Engraving at Washington (U.S.A.) pile up at the rate of 12,000 pounds a month and are sold by the Government to the highest bidder. The Goverumetn has never attempted to utilise this wastepaper itself. Heretofore it has always been sold to a Baltimore coal concern, which uses it to sprinkle a certain coal sold as "confetti coal.”
