weaving Set to Music.

At Soka, about half dozen miles from
Oska, and some other towns in Japan,
carpets, rugs and fabrics of the same class
are extensively manufactured. There are
no large carpet factories, but hand looms
may be seen in nearly every house. The
weaving process is set to music. The chill
dren are taught to sing a sort of nonsense
verse to certain tune, the superintendent
or head worker leading, and that air means
certain pattern, the deft fingers of the
little workers rhythmically following the
notes. At the right moment the woman
in charge of loom changes the tune, and
the little ones instantly take it up and as
quickly change the pattern to suit the mu-
sic. 1t is consequently quite correct to
speak of these productions as Zone
tune" 1.-TWO tune" or "four tune" carpet.
The actual workers are, for the most part.
children OF from seven years upward, and
from two TO four, five or even six work at
eingle loom under the direction of an
adult, generally a woman. Some 5000
boys and over 1900 girls are thus en-
ployed.
