PAPER MAKING INDUSTRY
*- SEARCH FOR RAW MATERIAL, SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENTS. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) Received May 20, 5.5 p.m. LONDON, May 1S ( , Professor Dunstan, at the Imperial Institute, tested some of the numerous substitutes for spruce purip. He states that bamboo is the most hopeful. The esparto grass from Tunis is excellent, but needs combining with other materials, mixed with chemicals, and absolutely pure water. South Africa produces the right sort of grasses abundantly, but wattle baric was far better, and makes good paper, bleaching well. He suggests that consumers should form a producing association, similar to that formed in connection with cotton-growing.
