Rice-Paper Plant.

Inc proper name OF this plant is Gud-
tia popysifsed, or, in the Chinese lam
geage, "tung-tsa.''-holiow plant. 1t
grows abundantly on the hills in the
northern parts of the island Of Formosa,
where the natives gather it and barter it
to the Chinese. 1t sttains Q height of
twenty 10 thirty feet. But as the pith,
from which the paper is made, deteri0-
rates in those parts of the tree which
have grown old, it is usually cut down
when it reaches height Of twelve feet,
or thereabouts. The siepder stem is sur.
mounted by large, sycamore-like leaves,
above which, in the flourishing season,
appear several wand-like branches, each
covered with small, pale yellowish flow
ers. The wood is hard, heavy and dura-
BILE. This plant is thought to be not very
distantly related to the common English
ivy:
The beautiful smooth paper made from
this material received its vulgar name,
''rice-paper,"' from an erroneous impress
sion that it was prepared from rice. In
preparing the trunk of the tree for the
paper maker, it is cut into lengths of
nine or twelve inches. The pith, which
is from one to two inches in diameter, 10
forced out by driving into it q strong,
straight stick, just as an American boy
forces the .pith out of the sections of
elder bough which he designs for his
pop-gun. The pith thus obtained is then
cut BY workmen, who apply the blade Of
long, keen knife to the cylinders and,
turning them around dexterously, pare
them from the circumference to the GEN.
ter, making rolled layer Of equal thick
ness throughout, and about four feet
long. This is unrollsd, and when suf-
ficient number Of these sheets have been
cut, they are placed one upon the other,
pressed out fat and smooth, and then cut
into squares If the required size. gener-
ally Of about tbree and quarter inches.
Ii will be seen that this more nearly re-
sembles the ancieot papyrus than modern
paper, hut IL 10 Dore bsaudDsul than the
former. being very psre peariy vhise.
