PAPER No NEW INVENTION

From The 'Tapas' of the South Seas.
 by M. D. C. Crawford. in Asia
 magazine.
 The decorative material known as
 taDa cloth is in reality not cloth at all. IL is a form of paper. In the
 South Sea Islands it is made from the
 pounded bark of the paper mulberry,
 but it occurs in some form in every tropical country in the world. In the
 jungles. of Brazil, in the steaming pswa amps of Africa, natives still make
 tapa The ancient Aztec and Mayas and Egyptians, the early inhabitants
 of China and Japan, had learned the
 use of tapa in it's modern form of
 paper to convey literary thought as
 leo and the Chinese republic it still
 holds it's early usage in offering a sim
 pie. and easily decorated material for
 ceremonial costumes.
 The technique of tapa- making is >very simple. Although tapa Is still
 produced. as bait for tourists. in the
 South Sea Islands. one must put any
 description of it's processes into the
 past tense. for the art has become sub merged as far as the islanders them selves are concerned. Tn former times. more particularly in Samoa and Ha- waii the mulberry tree was very care fully cultivated with a view to the making of tapa. The shoots were all lowed to grow two or three feet in
 height and about one and half inches in diameter. No branches or leaves occurred except at the crest. At the season when it was full of glutinous sap the bark was stripped off and steeped in running water until the outer part softened and could easily be scraped off Next tie inner pulpy mass was pounded on a smooth log of hard wood with paddles made of the wood of the palm and sometimes slightly corrugated to give texture. This process exactly resembles gold beating. The result was that a strip of bark originally three or four inches r in width was flattened out to 10 or 12 inches. Several of these strips which were about as thin as paper were pasted together with vegetable glue made from arrow root and the strips laminated together in the same man. ner This process corresponds in a way to the. early Egyptian method of making papyrus. But so skilfuliy was this process executed that in many of the finest pieces 1t is impossible to detect the lines of jointure. All work connected with the making of tapa was done by the women. for 1t was | considered degrading act for the men to occupy themselves in any of it's l processes
