Paper Manufacture and Its Methods.
The Chinese are supposed 20 have been
the inventors of paper. They used rice
straw or rags of cotton or linen for making
their paper stock. Modern nations fol.
lowed their example. but made few i'm.
provements on the ancient process until
within the last forty years. Since then
every decade has witnessed great advances
In this industry New methods, processes,
and machinery have been devised, new
materials brought into use. and new aud
multifarious forms Of the manufactured
product now enter into the economies of
modern life. Rags are gathered in all
parts of the world and brought by ship
loads to the United States. but they are
no longer the chief raw material Paper
fibers are obtained from old rope, iute
butts, straw of the various grains, from
many grasses and reeds. and from the
wood OF cypress, pine, poplar. spruce.
hemlock. Eastwood, sycamore and other
trees Now great mills prepare the fiber
stock for paper manufacturers. who buy
1t by the ton. in bulk, and then work It
into whatever shapes their business re-
quires As 1t costs far less to carry
chemicals TO the forests than 1t would to
transport the logs, wood pulp establish
ments are generally located near sources
of supply
The chief chemicals are lime. potash.
soda ash, and caustic soda. These alkalies,
dissolved in water TO make the cooking
liquids, have been employed in huge
wooden tanks, In which, because the tenn
perature could not be carried above boil
ing heat, it was necessary to continue the
cooking from two to three days Tho
progress of invention has recently made 1t
possible to greatly reduce the time re.
quired for this purpose The demand for
paper in all forms for old and new uses is
unlimited, and is daily increasing. In
no part of the globe Is there q greater
variety of vegetable fbers than In the
south, whose cane brakes. swamps, for
ests and cotton fields can furnish mex
haustible quantities for ell time. The
cotton plantations alone could probably
supply every pulp mill in American with
material cheaply gathered and handled.

A Great Opportunity Lost.

Mr.. Little has strong opinions not ia
yorable to the current idea of the wealth,
strength and prowess Of China and her
value as an ally, and considers that these
are only remotely potential He thinks
the Chinese possess "a much less highly
developed organization than do the Cau-
casian races" finds their religion consists
in "propitiating evil spirits, and that they
''can hardly appreciate the Christian,
ideal. On the other hand. they have
many virtues. and, although the social
system is undermined throughout by pee
ulation and deceit, from the armies
which only exist in the commander-in-
chiefs wardrobe and the public granaries
containing only chaff, down to the pres.
cnts not intended for acceptance and the
proclamations never meant to be OBJ
served" SO that the empire Is q sham;
yet still he is forced to admit, on refec-
tion and in fairness, that such Is the per-
sistent industry Of the Chinese "that with
highly gifted rulers to guide and rule
them, they may yet be great people"
As illustrations Of their readiness To
obey he points to the edict of Kublai
Khan, which directed that the cemeteries
should be plowed up, an edict obeyed and
only revoked two centuries ago, and to
the Manchu orders which abolished the
flowing robes and imposed the pigtail.
The first emperor of the present dynasty
ordered the tribes of Yunan, ION pain Of
death, to learn Pel1ingese," and was
obeyed Mr.. Little thinks that had we,
when masters of Peking, had the cour-
age to usurp the dragon throne. and had
we issued an edict prohibiting thence
