PAPER CANOES.- Editor Fore.it and St renin: The past 

 have done considerable sailing and paddling in a canv 



(Shadow model). I became a convert through reading Fo 



Strk.am. I have an idea and hardly know whether it is feasible. 3Tv 

 canoe is very heavy, weighs about 1'JO pounds. 1 made it strong for 

 sailing principally, and 1 want, a light one for paddling and a cruise 

 next year. Now foi' t lie idea. Can't. 1 make a paper canoe, using my 

 canvas one as a mold, by oiling my canvas and then using nianilln 

 paper and warm glue, after taking off the shell pulling in light 

 timbers. I have never seen this suggested before and do not know if 

 feasible.— O. F. C. IThe manufacture of paper canoes and boats is a 

 specialty and the process is patented. The paper, prepared iu lengths 

 ' for the purpose, is laid over a wooden mould in several thicknesses, 

 making a skiu from 1-10 to y 6 ia. thick. Each layer is laid in 

 varnish or pine. We would advise you to try a wooden boat, direc- 

 tions for building whieli>ill be given shortly iu our columns.]
