    notions of the Chinese, Julien remarks, everything made from hemp like
    cord and weavings is banished from the establishments where silkworms
    are reared, and our European paper would be very harmful to the
    latter.  There seems to be a sympathetic relation between the silkworm
    feeding on the leaves of the mulberry and the mulberry paper on which
    the cocoons of the females are placed.

    1375 reproduced and translated by W. Vissering (On Chinese Currency,

    ordered to use the fibres of the mulberry tree in the composition of
    these bills.

    ink-sketches of types of Mohammedans and a map.  The volumes are not

    (Vienna, 1902).  I cannot pass over in silence a curious error of this
    scholar when he says (p. 8) that it is not proved that Cannabis
    sativa (called by him “genuine hemp”) is cultivated in China, and
    that the so-called Chinese hemp-paper should be intended for China
    grass.  Every tyro in things Chinese knows that hemp (Cannabis
    sativa) belongs to the oldest cultivated plants of the Chinese, and
    that hemp-paper is already listed among the papers invented by Ts’ai
    Lun in A.D. 105 (cf.  CHAVANNES, Les livres chinois avant l’invention
    du papier, Journal Asiatique, 1905, p. 6 of the reprint).
