COREAN PAPER.
1t Is Better Than That of China or
Japan.

1t Is Better Than That of China or
Japan.
The statement is made by writer
in the Apotheker Zeitung that a re-
marllable kind of paper is produced in
Corea entirely by manual labor and
without the use of machinery. Its quail
ity eXcels that of the very best made
in China or Japan. The raw material
used for this paper is obtained from
the bark of Broussonetia papyrifera,
which is collected in the spring and
beaten in water containing a large adj
mixture of wood ashes, until reduced to
thick pulp; this is taken in large ladies
and spread upon frames of bamboo,
and in this way formed into thin sheets
Another kind of paper is produced
from old scraps trodden into pulp,
much in the same way that grape juice
is expressed in some countries pro-
cess of pulping which, though slow, has
the advantage of not breaking the fiber
so much as when machinery is used;
then, after the pulp has been made into
paper, the sheets are piled up TO the
height of six feet and cut into pieces
to be again subjected to the feet stamp
ing-at the same time the roots and
seeds of the plant called "tackpoui" are
added, the soluble parts of which are
supposed to give tenacity and tough
ness to the paper.

plosion occurred on the underground
railway as train filled with men from
the city was making its usual stop at
the Aldersgate station. The glass roof
of the station was blown out, and the
platform was strewn with debris.
Many of the gaslights in the waiting
rooms and on the platform were ex-
tinguished. general panic ensued.
1t was found that first class coach
had been completely wrecked and many
persons hurt. Ten of the injured were
found to be in a precarious condition
and were removed to hospitals. The
explosion is believed to have been the
result of a collection of gas which be-
came ignited in some way Many per-
sons, however, believe that the disas-
ter was not due to accident, but was
caused by the explosion of a bomb
which had been placed in the station
with the intention of wrecking it.
