THE BAMBOO IN JAPAN.

The damp neat of the japanese sum-
racr, which is so trying to human beings,
~ncourag all vegetation to grow with
surprising Insurance and rapidly; the
buds of yesterday are flowers today, and
tomorrow nothing is left but the ruin
of a past beauty, making the painters
struggle most arduous just when he has
least energy to contend with nature. The
young bamboo shoots come up like giant
asparagus, growing so fast that one can
almost see them move; some of them are
cut and eaten while young and tender,
and those which are allowed to grow to
large poles are used for every imaginable
purpose they are made INTO water
pipes and flower vases, barrel hoops and
umbrellas, baskets n hats, scaffoiding
poles and pipe stems, fans and delicate
whisks for stirring the powdered tea
more things, in fact; than I could enum-
crate in a page. The bamboo is surely
the cause of much Of the clever con
structjve work of ithe Japanese; for
though it will do most things with proper
treatment, it will not stand being
handled like ordinary timber; its peculiar
qualities have to be considered, and
every way in which they use it is artis-
tic and good. This is the large species
which grows to twenty or thirty feet
high; there are many dwarf kinds, which
clothe the hills with green, and are
used only for making fences and such

And thus, one at a time, slowly at first,
the value of wholesome air and a bit of
relaxation made converts. Slowly the
underestimated farms passed from rustic

entire scene changed from the up-at-sun-
riste-to-bed-at-sunset, monotony of the
simple minded country folk to the brisk
atmosphere of refined people; Nature
herself seemed to welcome the more con-
genial surroundings, and the country as
sumed a frightened aspect. Where the

against the autumn sky, had toiled over

A TAX ON ALCOHOL.
Rebates Not Yet Fixed Upon
Commercial Alcohol.

Co merc1aI AIcOnof.
Alcohol in the arts is "A tariff subject
which interests man manufacturers.
The new tax of $1.10 a gallon applies to
all spirits, irrespective of their uses or
purposes, but in applying this tax pro-
visions in the law were made to CONNER
cial users of alcohol for a rebate to be
paid upon proof being furnished that the
spirits were used in the arts or for
medicinal preparations and not as a
beverage. This much was done, but the
Internal Revenue Department at Wash
ington has failed to supply collectors
with instructions and regulations. In
fact, the regulations have not yet been
made, and just now there is a great
clamor arising from manufacturers in all
parts of the country who use alcohol.
Newark is especially interested, be-
cause a larger percentage of alcohol IS
used in the arts there than in many
other manufacturing centres. Hatters
use enormous quantities., the Celluloid
Company is one of the largest
in the country, and the varnish makers
brass goods manufacturers, chemical
works and countless other industries
swell the consumption to an enormous
figure.
The Government officials assume that
fully IS per cent. of all the spirits dis
titled in the United States is used in the
arts and manufactures. In Newark the
percentage would be higher still. This IS
interesting in view of the fact that tenn
perance advocates lose sight of this
feature, and in making their statistics
assume that most of. if not all of, the
alcohol distilled goes down the threats or
the people. Hence the startling state
ment of the number of gallons of liquor
used by each Individual in this country
every year. 1t is quite within reason to
assert that four-fifths, If not nve-slxths,
or nine-tenths, of the alcohol taxed in
Newark is used in some commendable
manufacturing Industry. Hatters use SO
much of it that they have within recent
years constructed devices for regaining
from the hats a percentage of that which
is used in cutting the shellac for
Stiffening them.

THE HIGHEST BRIDGE.

The highest bridge of n kind in the
world is said to be the Loe River via
duct, on the Antofagasta Railway in Bo-
livia, South America. The place where
this highest railway structure has been
erected is over the Melo rapids in the Up
per Andes, and between the two sides of
a canon which is situated 10000 feet
above the level of the Pacific. Counting
from the surface of the stream to the
level of the rails this celebrated bridge is
exactly $751; feet in height. The length
of the principal span is so feet and the
distance between abutments Gotal length
of bridge is S02 feet. The largest column
is 314 feet 2 inches long, and the batter
of the pier, what is known to bridge
builders as "one in three" The gauge of
the road is 2 feet 6 inches, and trains
cross the bridge at a speed of thirty miles
an hour. -Philadelphia Press.
