CORK

Many persons see cork used daily with
ont knowing whence came those useful
materials. Corks are cut from large slabs
Of the cork tree, species of oak which
grows wild il the countries south of Eu-
rope. The tree IS stripped Of its bark at
about Is years CID, but before stripping if
of, the tree IS moi cut down as in the case
Of the oak. It IS taken while the tree is
growing and the operation may be repeat
ed every eighth or ninth year-the quar-
fly Of the bark continuaing each time to
improve as the age Of the tree increases .
When the bark is taken off, it is singed
il the flames Of 4 strong fire, and after be-
ing soaked for 4 considerable time in wa
te-, it is placed under heavy weights in
orier to render it straight. Its extreme
lightness, the ease with which It can be
compressed, and its elasticity, are prop
critics SO peculiar to this substance, that
no efficient substitute for it has been dis
covered. The valuable properties OF cork
were known to the Greeks and Romans,
who employed it for all the purposes for
which ii is used at present, with the eX-
coPtion of s.oPples, The ancionts most
used cement for stopping the mouths Of
bottles or vessels. The Egyptians are
said to have made collins of cork, which
being spread on the inside with a resin
GUS substance preserved dead bodies from
decay. In modern times, cork was not
generally used for stopplcs till about the
close ofthe 18th century, wax being used
till then for that purpose. TIE cork I'M
ported into Grea, Britain IS brought 2rin-
ciPaHy from Italy, SPAIN and Portugal.
The quantity annually consumed IS up
wards O. 500 tors.

and indeed the population Of the city en-

cigar in mouth. They had scarcely made

ceived a blow which caused him to stop
smoking, and Castles cigar was knocked
out of MS mouth With a cane. The rest

released convicts. were Kissed, and booted
and pursued, til they made suitable a
mcndS for the outrage. In the evening
numerous patrols of troops of the line,

took up his abode at a Shawnee village
for Jew days, and in the wigwam Of one
Of the Indian chiefs of the tribe, he found

truce pass through the embattl;ng hosts til
they approach the presence of Napoleon.-
| They inform him Of the situation and tbs
peril Of the princess. He instantly orders the
direction Of every gun TO be changed, which
might eudanger her person. The flag Of truce
again retires within the walls, and the awful
bonbardment continues. For ten long hours
this terrific storm of iron descends upon the
city, till three thousand shells have flied its
streets with ruins aud with blood. But Maria
Lou.su remains upon her bed unframed, tho
other parts Of her fathers palace are blown
( from their foundations. Little did she imas-
inc ii the CONSERVATION octEat dreadful Giga5
chat it was her future husband who was thus
raining down destruction upon her fathers
capital. And little did the plcbe.an conquer
or imagine, as be compassionately changed
the direction of his guns, that this maiden "-s
10 be the future queen Of France, and that by
this bombardment he was vooing and win
ming for his bride daughter Of the C,csars.

FERROUS influence there IS in ancestral renOwn.
Napoleon even, the creator Oi his crown, the
