are dried in the sun. The entire operation
sometimes covers period of six months, and
the paper, naturally, is of low grade. / MS
Is practically the method OF all Eastern
countries where paper IS still handmade
whether from bamboo, soft bast from trees
or other material
Japan's Up Date Methods
CONTRAST with this the up to date
- methods of a new Japanese company at
Forrnosa, which proposes to turn out three
hundred to six hundred tons OF bamboo
paper a month. The stages OF manufacture
are: % The preparation OF the bamboo oy
chonping into two-inch pieces; ~ cooking
in an improved dlgester with Sulpflte ol
calcium: (3) washing with water; l4)
hIeaching with electricity and washing again.
(5) drawing through machine to press into
the form of web; o. steam drying; ~
rolled bv winding machine or cut INTO
sheets. Perhaps the Orient Will eventually
supply the world with the pulp from Wn1ch
to make its paper; for the FOrmOsa bamboo
forests alone are almost inexhauStlble.
One of the most delicate and beautiful
uaDers in the world is FOrmOsa rice paper
so called; for the plant is in no sense
a rice. 1t is produced from the snowy Whlte
pith of a small tree, the larger part OF the
stems of which are filled with compact
mass of cellular tissue. After partly crush
ing the stalks the unbroken cellular mass IS
pushed out. A section of pith is firmly held
upon a large tile, or piece of smooth hard
wood. and with a sharp knife, aided by
rolling movement, the operator Sk1ltully
cuts round the circumference of the piece,
deftly rolling it as he goes on, until the cen
ter is reached, thus pairing of large th1n
sheet. The sheets as produced are put under
heavy pressure to flatten and dry them
The finished product, which IS gl1stenlng
white and of feathery lightness, is used for
making artificial flowers, and by Canton
artists for painting exquisite pictures OF
birds and flowers.
Many tropical trees supply natural pa
per which is used for cigarette wrappers
An example is the monkey pot Of Brazil,
from a piece of bark of which a hundred lay
ers of bast can be separated by beating,
Welding sheets of tissue paper th1nnesS and
of satiny texture. The famed tapa cloth OF
Pacific islands, beaten from the bark OF paper
mulberry, is practically coarse paper
Similar paper cloth is made IN the same way
in Africa and South America
Among unusual materials from which pa
per has been made may be named cOrnhuskS,
sawdust, stems of the castor oil plant, sun
flower stalks, banana stalks. lint remaining
on cotton seed after ginning, and refuse
stems from stripping leaf tobacco.
