Tue Cork TREE-We learn from the
Washington Union that about hogshead
oe acorns Of the cork oak have been intro
duced by the agricultural division Of the
Patent Office, from the South of Europe
and distributed in the Middle and Southern
States for experiment, or TO test their adap-
tation to the climate The Union says:
This tree, in It's native country, where it
is an evergreen. usually grows to height
of 20 or 80 feet, but in England there are
specimens which exceed so feet in height,
with diameter of more than feet The
substance familiarity known to us as cork is
epidermis. or outer bark, and sometimes
grows two or three inches thick. Should
the experiment succeed it will be subject
of great national Importance that planta-
tions should be established in various parts
of the country for the purpose Of growing
this useful substance, particularly in the
event of war between this country and
Europe. in consequence of which the sup
ply would be cut off.

Reported improvement IN the Electric
Tetegroph.-Late foreign papers state that
Swedish SaUailt. Professor Edlund. of
the Royal Academy of Sciences. succeeded,
last year. in making an improvement in the
construction of electric telegraph apparatus.
by which it becomes possible to send MESA
ges by the same wire simultaneously in two
opposite directions. The principle on which
this discovery is based is very simple. and
altogether different from that applied by
DIR. Gintl at Vienna, which was not success
full. AS far back as the month Of August
last year Prof Edlund made some expert
ments on the wires of the telegraph line be-
tween Stockholm and Upsala by permission
of the directors These succeeded so well
that he constructed the necessary apparatus,
which was put up i'll December last. and has
been in daily operation ever since. AS
soon as the needful number of apparatus are
constructed. they are to be introduced at
every telegraph station in the Kingdom; and
as the alteration is not expensive. the ad-
vantages gained over the old system are OBJ
vious, as one line of wire will do the work
formerly done by two.
