Japan Guards Against Paper Famine.

| The Japanese also have looked over
the contents of their industrial stores
and nave decided that something must
he done toward conserving their re-
manning supplies of raw material for
paper making.
In Japan paper is used for almost
everything from the silver figured par
titions OF the Buddhist temple to the
rude hut walls of the laborer: from
the silklike vestments of the priest
down to the rain-roof shield of the
traveller. In fact, the ingenuity OF the
Japanese Is only matched by the var
ieties of uses to which paper may be
adapted
The work OF the United States Gov
eminent toward determining the
amount of paper materials used and
the source OF future supply, il being
followed by the japanese, according to
an advice from U. s. Consul John Fl.
Snodgrass, at Kobe. The immnence of
the danger is apparent from the fact
.hdt tue Japanese authorities have re-
Quested the paper mills department
OF the Mitsu Bishi Kaisha to take
over some $500 acres Of the bamboo
forests OF Formosa.
1t is known that the bamboo tree
mas been the raw material from
which the japanese have recently
made the larger portion of their pa
per products; so 1t Is thought that
by introducing the improved methods
OF forest cultivation and harvesting.
this tract OF woods will furnish yearly
100000 bamboos, for conversion in
TO paper pulp. /,
Ma matter whether the paper COM
pany win establish its mills In For
mosa or ship the bamboo to Japan In
partly finished state the develop
ment of this new source Of raw ma
terial will be of high Importance and
may overcome the necessity OF the
Island Empire looking to foreign
countries for the future supply OF
paper pulp.

Bacteria In House Drain Pipes.

There is much suspicion of the
sanitary condition OF house drains
and the result of some experiments
to determine whether disease germs
may be present In them ara valuable
as showing what conditions produce
danger and what produce sanitary
safety. The experiments were
made by Major w. H. Horrocks,
an English engineer, and are reported
In the current number of the Munich
pal Engineering Magazine He first
tried agitation of sewage In a closed
Jar and found no contamination OF
the air in the jar by the bacteria and
disease germs in the sewage, but
when the experiment was made in a
Ventilating trap with current of air
up through the pipe from the surface
OF the agitated sewage the air was
found to be contaminated at least
nine feet above the water. The air
In ventilated cesspool likewise con-
tains sewage bacteria. When mater
ial containing certain bacteria was
dried on the inside surface Of the
drain pipes a current of air through
the vertical line Of pipes was con-
taminated by them, even when this
current was produced only by the
flow OF sewage through horizontal
pipe at the bottom of the line.
