japanese Paper Plant.

Secretary Wilson'S men are working
to introduce Il sort of vegetable
leather. 1t is in reality paper plant,
as much SO as the papyrus plant of
ancient Egypt, but it's uses are mani
fold, ranging all the way from dainty
note paper to waterproof garments
and which are really waterproof
under the severcSt tests-und leather
pockctbooks which outwear real
leather. The plant is a pretty little
shrub called in Japanese "mitsumata,'
and it is its inner bark which is
converted to use. The plant grows in
the mountains of Japan, and Explorer
Fairchild. of the Department of Ag-
riculture, believes that it will thrive
over large part of the Appalachian
range and other similar sections of the
United States.
In Japan pipe cases and tobacco
pouches are manufactured from the
material, as we'll rs a kind of wall
paper, which is already becoming fash
ionahle in America. Such wall papers
of vegetable leather are turned out in
BEAUTIFUL designs for wall and ceiling
decorations, being stamped and mod
eled by hand in the most artistic pat
terms. 1t would seem that Americans
have a great deal to learn from the
japanese about paper-making. Already
large quantities of another kind of
paper obtained from the same plant
are imported for use as legal docu-
ments, diplomas, deeds and bonds.
There are at least eight other plants
from which the subjects of fine Mi
kado obtain paper stuff, while this
country depends for such material up

1t seems singular that so many

this increase has been about $G0,OOO,OO0,
