PAPER MAKING IN JAPAN.
Effort to Guard Bamboo Tree Which
 Furnishes Raw Material.

From the New York Evening Post,
 The Japanese have decided that some thing must be done toward conserving their remaining supplies of raw material for paper making
 In Japan paper is used for almost every thing, from the silver figured partitions of the Buddhist temple to the rude hut walls of the laborer; from the silk like vest ments of the priest to the rain proof shield of the traveller. In fact, the ingenuity of the Japanese Is only matched by the va rfety of uses to which paper may be adapted.
 The work of the United States govern ment toward determining the amount of paper materials used and the source of future supply is being followed by the Japanese, according to a letter from John H. Snodgrass, United States consul at Kobe The imminence of the danger is apparent from the fact that the Japanese authorities have requested the paper mills department of the Mitsu Bishi Kaisha to take over some 75000 acres of bamboo forest of Formsa.
 It is known that the bamboo tree has been the raw material from which the Japanese have recently made the larger portion of their paper products; so It is thought that, by introducing the improved methods of forest cultivation and harvest ing this tract. 1O.000000 bamboos adapted for conversion into paper pulp will be fur nished yearly.
 The development of this new source of raw material will be of high importance and may overcome the necessity of the island empire looking for foreign countries for the future supply of paper pulp.
