Specks of Iron in Pulp.—The minute specks of iron that fall into paper pulp and afterwards produce rust-stains may be removed from the pulp by the use of magnets. A huge steel comb, with broad teeth set edgewise, is placed in the stream of pulp and water as it passes upon the machine. The teeth being made of magnetized steel strips, any iron particles contained in the pulp are thus withdrawn.—Paper World.
