PAPER LIGHTS were never much em- 

 ployed, and, since the introduction of 

 Whitney's and other compositions for 

 rendering cloth semi-transparent, are 

 still less likely to be employed. Cartridge 

 paper is the best for the purpose. It 

 should be damped before it is nailed 

 upon the frame, because when dry it 

 becomes taut. It may then be painted 

 over with boiled linseed oil, in which a 

 little white lead has been incorporated. 

 In nailing on the paper, a strip of tape 

 should be placed between the heads of 

 the tacks and the paper, to check the 

 tearing to which the paper is so subject.

 PARASITIC PLANTS are such as derive 

 their nourishment from other living 

 plants by rooting into their sap-vessels 

 Examples are the Mistletoe andDodde 

 which attach themselves to the stem* 

 and branches of some plants ; the Hypo- 

 cistus and the Orobanche, or Broom 

 Kape, affix themselves to the roots of
