JAPAN TO MAKE CHARCOAL.
Government Will Establish Kilns-ln-
dustry Becoming important.

Government VIII Establish kllnS-ln-
dustry Becoming important.
In repy to an Ohio inquiry, Nice-Con-
sui Walter Gassett, OF Kobe reports as
follows concerning the production Of char-
coal in Japan:
There are two kinds OF charcoal made
in Japan, white and black. The white S
made from hard wood, mostly the Cler-
Gus myrsinoefolia, and the black from
soft woods, other than pine. A small
amount is made from pine. which is on y
used by blacksmiths The trees should be
from % to 30 years old. if poss be and
are cut into lengths of three feet by two
feet in circumference
There are two styles OF kilns used, a
stone kiln for making white charcoal.
Kilns are made to burn from 500 to 40 0
pounds OF green wood, which takes 20 to
30 hours 10 consume, and requires the SER
vice of two or three men, the chafc al OBJ
tained amounting to from IS 10 % per
cent A new kiln has been invented and
patented which takes from 2i,C00 to So
300 pounds Of wood. but Of which this con-
su ate has been unable to obtain n de-
scrlption.
The charcoal is made up into ba es
wrapped in straw, which weigh about 80
pounds each. The retail price OF the hard
or white charcoal at Kobe is about "a
cents per bale. and OF the soft or b a k
charcoal about 80 cents per ba'e. who.e-
sale prices at kiln being 30 cents and "A
cents. respectively.
The charcoal consumed in Japan in 1907
the last figures available, was va.u1d a,
1884 700; IN this prefecture Hyogo) $685.

As regards the by-products wood acetiC
liquid is made by most of the kilns, which
a Toxic company manufactures into
the following articles: G acial ac~ti'
acid, 9S per cent; refined acetic acid, a
per cent, acetic ammonia, 80 per cent
acetic aluminium. acetic from liquid. ac,t
wood iron liquor, acetic soda, acetic lead
yellow acetone.
There are no government regulations as
/ to the cutting Of timber. In most Of this
forests under government control IN,
trees are sold by tender and are worth
IL cents per eight pounds. for Quercu'
| myrsinoefolia, and ! i-2 cents for soft
wood. In the forests in Akta. Koya. ant
Hiroshima procedures the timber is frs
cut by the government employees and ths 7
sold. Many kilns are also on privat,
woods. and forests. It is stated that tbs
government cOntemplates estab ishinl
lSllns of its own, and that estimates ar'
