Korean Use For Human Hair
Human hair is in great (iemand in some of the countries of Europe, and the supply is said to be inadequate. Our consul in Korea points out that there is plenty and to spare in the Hermit Kingdom. "The Koreans," lie adds, "have remarkably fine heads of hair, and they put their 'combings' to a use that I nave never seen elsewhere. A very large numberof the saddlecloths placed onder the packs of their ponies are made of hair woven into coarse mats or bags, and the halters and head roprs of their ani mals are largely composed of the san, material. I believe that human hair is largely exported frorn China to Europe, and Korea could furnish a large and cheap supply did the people know there there was a demand for it." Here's a chance for some pioneer of commerce. -
