Rare ouriosities,

A great curiosity is exhibited in one
Of the windows of the City of Paris
store, on Spring street consisting Of a
large csrdboayd under glass with speci-
mems Of every kind of bug, beetle, fly,
centipede. scorpion. tarantula, etc.,
known in Southern California, beside
tarantula nests and horned toads. One of
the tarantulas on exhibition is one of
the largest OF Its kind. Altogether
there are about seventy FIVE different
kinds of specimens, all Of an interesting
character and artistically arranged. A
long time can be pro6tabiy spent in ex-
aiming this work, which must have
taken great deal Of arduous labor in
collecting, fixing and arranging. There
are several specimens of small variety
Of the brilliant green and gold Brazilian
beetle heretofore brought from South
America. Many other strange things
also attract the attention. 1t is well
worth seeing.

important to California.

1t appears that owing to the destruc-
ton Of the forests in China, the usual
toom wood, which ia iIodorots and free
from pernicious gums and saps, has be-
come largely exhausted, and the packers
and shippers of tea. who have hereto
fore used this fine wood for tea chests.
are now compelled to use other varie-
ties Of timber for this purpose to large
extent. And here is where the trouble
begins.
Vessels sailing from Hong Kong or
Shashai to Europe. via the Red Soa and
the Suex Canal. are obliged to sail
through equatorial ATTITUDES and the
fierce heat Of the Red Sea for more than
ten thousand miles, During much Of
shis tFip the temperature Is from ITO to
10 degrees Fahrenheit, and it appears
by the testimony Of the analytic chem
lists Of London who examined the chests
Of the ship Asia, which made this pas
sage to London, that the great heat Of
the weather had developed. in COM
hination with moisture. acetic acid,
which had produced decomposition Of
the lead Innings Of the boxes, producing
acetate and carbonate Of lead that be-.
came difased ip the tea a soon as holes
we've oxydized through the lead, so that
the good people Of london had a
mixture of tea and white paint for their
evening beverage at the tea table.
A very important case has been on
trial In the High Court Of Admiralty
Of England concerning this matter in
which the shippers Of tea sued the own
ers Of the steamship Asia, for injury to
the cargo ty lack Of ventilation, when
il was demonstrated that the damage
was caused by the climate acting ON the
species Of wood used in boxing the tea,
producing acetio acid (Which disintegrated
tho lead and caused the mischief.
The case occupied thirteen days, and
Sir Robert Phillimors, the presiding
Justice, decided the case against the eli
mate and in favor Of the steamship
This decision will be Of great Importance
to the city Of San FrApcisco, the Qcci.
dental and Oriental Steamship Company
and the overland railway companies,
which extend from China to New York
on q parallel 81 about 40 degrees north
latitude during the entire distance, and
far removed from the heat Of the equa.
torial region.
With this great advantage Of our
American lines Of transportation over
the Suez route. the great shipments Of
tea for North America and Europe
ought to come through California and go
eastward over the overland lines of rail
way, where there would be no danger
from the rank hot steam of the lower
decks Of ships that sail along the equa.
torial belt.
The subject Is important and full Of
significance to our State and country.
By a proper amount of well directed
energy, the large cargoes of tea that 60
to New Orleans, Ct. Louia, Kansas City,
Denver, Louisville, Atlanta, Richmond
and Baltimore, could be induced to come
to San Pedro and 60 eastward on the

The process is given as follows: Pow

over the stufs. After II is dry. the
layer is made permanent by the action
Of steam. afterwards passing the stuff
through solution Of chloride of tin,

ates readily from the trunk Of the tree.
The tree Is said to have arrived at
maturity when the cork has market
value. After the first stripping the
cork is removed at intervals Of ten or
twelve years. Yet. as cork Of thick
ness sufficient to give shoppers for
champagne bottles is the most valuable,
many growers extend the period. In
this, as in all things else, experience is
the best guide. Many growers remove
the cork gradually. The first year all
below height Of twelve inches from the
ground is taken off. two years later all
above this and below the branches, and
after another equal period that Of the
branches. In this way the tree
is less exposed to cold, while
the new cork forms more rapidly.
Great care is taken not to wound or re-
move the inner bark. After tho re-
moval of the cork two, sometimes four,
longitudinal incisions reaching to the
inner bark are made along that portion
Of the trunk which has been stripped.
This prevents the cracking Of the outer
surface Of tho new cork. Many persous
will be surprised to learn that the cork

pears. The cork is stacked in piles.
In two months it has lost cne.fifth of
its weight. and is ready for market.
Shippers receive from sixty to seventy
cents for a days work. In Spain cork is
worth from one dollar and o half to two
dollars the quintal. As the demand for
corks increases annually, so the value of
cork plantations increases from year to
year. Forty years ago in one Of the de-
partments Of France the cork planta-
tons yielded annually net profit Of
twelve per centum on their estimated
value, and this was four times the profit
derived from forests Of oak.

A Lesson in Spelling.

Since the introduction of spelling
matches. many words have come prom
inently into notice--words that were
previously comparatively unknown. For
instance, we find Antiseptic, meaning,
preventing and stopping all fermenta-
tion and decomposition. and Analgesi-
ant, painkiller. Then there is Anti.
pyretic, cooling down inflammation and
fever heat. These three words, SO often
misspelled, are three of the cardinal
virtues of something that will cure many
bad spell, and that is Salioylica, pro.
nounced Sal-i-cyl.i-ca. Warranted to
afford immediate relief, and guaranteed
to cure rheumatism, govt or neuralgia.
