Waterproof Packing-Paper.—A new packing-paper, patented in Austria, is said to be superior to parchment for protection against dampness and wet. It is made up of two adhering sheets of paper with a coating of peculiarly-prepared waterproof black shellac on one or both sides. The paper is especially useful for packing goods to be transported by water, and lining of chests, as the shellacked sheet is smooth, noiseless, and will not crack if laid in sharp folds.
