USED IX GERMANY
Washington, Feb. S..—The Cen

13) reports that successful experi
ments have been made recently in
Germany with piping, manufactured
chl'fly of paper. It has been
Droved that paper pipes have three
or 'our tniies as much power of re
sistance against interior pra«sure as
l"aJen piping, and weigh only about
cne-ninth as much. They have only
abo.it one-sixth of the solidarity of
cepoer pipes, and one-seventh of
the!*- weight. Paper piping equal
in weight to copper pipes would
be equal to them in solidarity also..
If »he naper pipes are well glued
th"y should have sufficient power
of resistance to be used as gas
nipes..
