SUPPLIES FOR PAPER.
Manufacturers Are Looking for Other
Material Besides Spruce Timber.
Easement fcor.)

IToIn the New 1ork Snn
1t will probably be many years yet be
fore we exhaust all our resources of spruce
for the making of wood pulp. Still. an
area as large as Rhode Island is stripped
of its spruce every year to supply the
mills that make news paper alone, and
many of the manufacturers think it is none
too early to begin experimenting with
other material for paper making to supple
ment the spruce supplies, and even to take
their place If we cannot grow crops of
spruce fast enough to meet the demand.
Some good use is found every year for
plants that We're supposed to be useless.
film the museum at the Botanical Garden
are specimens OF rugs and other articles
made of a variety of sedge that is found
widely in our northern states. This grass
was supposed to be worthless a few years
ago. but somebody discovered that it sup
plies good, strong fiber, and today it is
being turned into binders Irvine, rugs and
other things that are worth having. Two
materials new to paper making are now at
tracing attention. One is bagasse the
refuse of the sugar mills, which hitherto
has been pure waste, except a small part
OF it used fuel
A paper mill in Texas is now using ba-
gasse to make paper, and the product is
said to be excellent. 1t Is predicted that
the day Is soon coming when all the ba-
gasse from our southern sugar cane fields
will be used to make paper Thus bagasse
will be another of the waste materials di-
verted from the waste heap and turned into
a source Of wealth Another kind of pa
per material is rice straw, very little of
which is now used except to provide bed
ding for cattle. 1t has been known for a
long time that good paper could be made Of
this material, but for some reason it has
not been utilized to any extent. There are
great possibilities before Louisiana and
Texas in the manufacture of paper from
these two new materials.
All the same it would be folly to permit
our spruce forests to become exhausted.
The timber that is sent to the mills for
pulp wood should be replaced by another
planting. as with any other crop. 1t is get
ting rather late for any woodsman to re-
move crop of timber without the slight
est idea that a later generation will take
another crop from the same ground. Can
ada is the great preserve of the whole
world for future supplies of pulp wood.
Her spruce resources have scarcely been
touched, though her southern forests have
been badly depleted. The country has a
magnificent belt of spruce extending from
the southeast in Quebec far northwest to
the Mackenzie river. Not bit of this
spruce has yet been utilized and will not
be till railroads. are extended to 1t, but
the railroad projects now under way will
before very long tap this greatest of all
resources of pulp supply.

Fig Fertilization.

From Scrfbners.
AS an illustration of the curiously diver

cultural stations, 1t is of interest TO note
that the California station has been for
over ten years experimenting in fig cult
ure. sixty different varieties having been
tested in that period. 1t has been connect
ed indirectly with the national government
in the study Of the Smyrna fig. 1t has
been demonstrated that this fig. to reach its
highest form. must be fortified by a tiny
insect which in the old world fig regions
goes on its enriching journey from the wild
caprifig flower to the domestic fig tree,
ened fig it's peculiar richness and flavor.
The promise now is that. through the intro
duction OF the insect. the choicest European
figs are to be raised with profit in Cali

On the continent smoking is growing so
rapidly in favor among the fair sex that
on some Of the Belgian railroads smoking
apartments are to be provided exclusively
for women. This result has been brought
about through a young lady finding herself

has taken action to compel all the Belgian
