USES OF WOOD L l.

Really Serious Matter.
Pittsburg Dispatch.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
Wood pulp is now extensively used as a
composition for holdings and decora tive
purposes in private and public buildings.
In the manipulation of this composition
beautiful effect can be obtained by mixing
in il the various aniline -colors-strong or
tinted-or those known as metallic celors.
Bronze powders of varied colors may also
be used with pleasing results. BY the use
of this material al the better qualities of
nne grained wood are obtained without any
of the drawbacks of shrinking or expand
Ing on account of atmospheric conditions.
The extent TO which the wood pulp bust
ness has been developed in this country is
not generally known. The inroads on our
forests, which Its growing consumption for
railway ties. building and requirements of
the press involve. are enormous. So serious
has this matter become, il is stated. that.
unless each State passes a law for the en-
c-ouragement of tree planting, so that our
woods can be replenished, there will soon
be a tree famine.
As giving an inkling of the magnitude of
the general of wood pulp, a
correspondent states that for a single edi-
ton of a prominent daily paper seventeen
tons of blank paper was recently REQUIRED
This was the product of sixty-Seve1 cords
of poplar. In twenty-five hours from the

into printed papers The process is thus di-
vided with respect TO a test case: ChOpping
IL cords of wood. three hours; manufacture
ing into pulp. twelve hours; transporting to

utes: wetting paper preparatory TO printing,
thirty minutes: printing ten thousand cop
les. ten minutes. This shows the rapidity
with which raw material may be turned
into a finished article. When ii Is considered
that the foregoing figures refer to only one
paper in one city, and that almost every
newspaper is printed from material con-
sisting largely. and often almost wholly. of
wood pulp, which is also used in the pro-
duction of nearly all common and medium
grades of paper for almost all uses, the
magnitude of the consumption of wood in
pulp making becomes apparent.

ONEROUS BURDENS.
Tax of 3 Cents "a Bunch ON
and Oppressive HarbOr Dues.

WASHINGTON, Oct. I1.-Unlted States
Consul OHara, at Greytown, has trans
mitted to the State Department a report
from the United States consular agent at
Bluefields. telling why the Morgan-line
steamers have been withdrawn from service
between Bluefields and the United States.
The Nicarguan government imposed a tax of
3 cents per bunch on all bananas exported
and consequently collected $50, 900 last season
on this account. This fruit is the principal
staple export and the steamship company
found the tax, in addition to most onerous
harbor dues and restrictions, a burden too
great TO be borne and Withdrew their yes
sells from a port which ii had done so much
to build up. There was an uncOnfirmed re-
port at Biuefields that the Nicaraguan gov
eminent had conferred on a company of
native Nicaraguans the sole right to export
bananas without payment of the tax.
