Most of the Supply Manufactured in Secret in Michigan. The worla’s supply of sticky fly paper comes from this city, says the Grand Rapids (Mich.) correspondent of the New York Sun. There are three or four other small factories scattered about the coun- try, but none of them makes enough to cut much of a figure in the market. The great producer is the single factory in this city, a big concern employing 400 to 600 hands all the year round, and its product is shipped to every land. The factory is surrounded by a high board picket fence, and guards are on watch day and night to keep out intruders. The best friends of the proprietors meet with as cold a reception, when the matter of going into the factory is mentioned, as any stranger. The stick: reparation with which it is expected the flies will form entangling alliances is prepared by the proprietors personally, and they alone know the exact formula. The pre aration is not patented nor copyrighted, as to gain the protection of the Government it would be necessary to reveal the materials that go into it, and Bid 50 Oceanic Steamship 2400 STOCK AND BOND EXCHANGE.

The secret is protected by not letting it out, and it has been kept successfully for nearly twenty years. The machinery used in the factory is guarded in the same man- ner against infringement instead of being patented. Most of the machinery was de- signed for the special purpose to which it is put, and the four brothers engaged in the business made the designs for it them- selves, and had different parts of it con- stracted at different machine-shops. The fly-plgu factory occupies four large two- story brick buildings, and the emg oyesin one department are not allowed, under any circuamstances, to visit any other de- partment. None but trustworthy men are employed, and once engaged they have substantially a life job, but even the. most trusted is not allowed to know more than one branch of the busin % The fly paper is made by spreading cer- tain balsams and gums on a sheet of sized manilla paper. ’flu sheet has a narrow border of wax to prevent the sticky stuff from oozing out, The border of wax is put on, the sticky preparation is spread and the sheet is folded neatly for inspec- tion and shipment by one machine, and this machine has a_capacity of about 50,- 000 sheets a day. From the machine the sheets pass to inspectors, who see that the stuff is of the right conslste.ncy. and then to the packers, to be put into boxes for shipment, The E:par oes to Africa, Asia, Europe, Austral ana South America, besides all parts of this country. The manufacturers of the sticky paper began business about twenty years ago on a small scale, occupyinga lean-to in con- nection with a suburban drugsiore which the brothers had established as a brach of their city business. One of the brothers carried on the fly paper manufacturfng as a side issue, and at first only enough was manufactured to supply a limited local de- mand. The demand gradually grew and the factory is now one one of the big insti- tutions of the city and the four brothers all devote to it their entire time. Some time agothe brothers had occasion to discharge one of their employes, a man who had been with them several years, and had unusual facilities for learning the in- side of how everything was done. It was suspected that it was bis intention to sell the secrets of the manufacture of fly paper, or such of them as he possessed, to a rival manufactuger doing business on a small scale in anl r town. The brothers im- mediately brifaght suit against him by in- junction to restrain him from telling what e knew, and from himself engaging in the business. The suit has not yet been de- cided. Itinvolves a question of law never {et adjudicated in this State, and one that s specially interesting to manufacturers and attorneys. —————— The system of privately educating the princes of the English royal family has been abandoned by the Queen. Prince Arthur of Connaught is at a school near Farnborough; the Duke of Albany isata school near Lyndhurst, where Princess Beatrice’s son, Prince Alexander of Batten- berg is to be sgnt after the Easter holi- days.
