From "Nature" Sep. oath.

On his return from Japan, sixteen years ago,
Prof. Rein, the well-known authority on
Japanese art and industry, planted in the
Botanical Garden at Frankfort some specie
mems of the lacquer-tree (Rhus vernicifera)-
from which the Japanese obtain the juice
employed in the production of their famous
lacquer work. According to the Times, there
are now at Frankfort thirty-four healthy
specimens of the lacquer-tree, 80 feet high
and 2 feet in girth a yard from the ground
and the young trees. which have sprung from
the original trees seed, are in a fourishing
condition. It seems to be proved, therefore,
that the lacquer-tree is capable of being
cultivated in Europe, and it only remains
to be seen whether the juice is affected
by the changed conditions. The Times says
that, to ascertain this, Prof. Rein has tapped
the Frankfort trees, and has sent some of the
juice to Japan, where it will be used by the
Japanese artists in lacquer work, who will
report on its fitness tor lacquering. In the
meantime, some of the most eminent German
chemists are analysing samples of the juice
taken from the trees at Frankfort and samples
of the juice sent from Japan; and should their
reports and the reports from Japan be favour
able, it is probable that the tree will be large
ly planted in public parks and other places
IN Germany. In course of time a skilled
worker in lacquer would be brought over
from Japan to teach a selected number of
workmen the art Of lacquering wood, and in
this wayit is hoped that a new art and craft
may be introduced into Europe. Prof. Rein
has been comforting with the authorities at
Frankfort as to the results Of his experiments.
Some parts of Australia seem to be admira-
bly, suited for the growth of the olive. Mr..
Principal Thompson, of Dookie, says in a recent
report that 200 olive trees planted in that dis
trict are robust and healthy, and that they
produce splendid oil. He strongly recommends
the planting of the olive around vineyards and
homesteads for shade and shelter, and to give
a picturesque appearance to the rural home.
Apart from the making of oil, he believes it
would pay handsomely to grow olive berrie

Dookie (about 80 head) were allowed to eat
up the fallen berries in the olive grove; they
had no other food for upwards of two months,
and throve amazingly, their skins having a
peculiar shining appearance, characteristic of
animals being we'll fcd.-Ibid.

The Standard of Thursday contains an am

sent by the Queen to the Sultan of Morocco
was presented to that Potentate. The Sultan
was in camp, and the elephant was, therefore,
marched into the interior to be presented.
Only two previous Instances are recorded
of elephants being brought into Morocco.
One is asserted to have been sent there from
Timbuctoo, and the other was presented by the
English to the reigning Sultan ola hundred and
fifty years ago. The actual ceremony of presen-
tation in the case of Stoke must have
been exceedingly quaint and pictures

red cloak, with his howdah on, with his NAH

FROM BAD TO WORSE.

The ordinary treatment of conta-
gious blood poisoning is to drive one
poison from the system by introduce
ing another. The result, in most
cases, has been that which usually
follows a leap from the frying-pan
into the fire. To put it mildly, mer-
curial and other mineral poisonings
have disadvantages which are hard
ly less serious than contagious blood
poison. In either case the system is
wrecked; and yet there is no reason
why humanity should continue to
suffer. 1t is the Office of S. s. s. to
cure contagious blood poisoning.
For that disease the medicine is sure
ly a specific. And it is also it's Office
to cure mercurial and other mineral
poisoning. In short, 8. s. S. is the
great blood purifier. 1t destroys the
germs of the contagious disease, and
expels from the system all forms Of
mineral poisoning. 1t restores health
and strength to the sufferer.

A WOODEN MILL.
Enough Stock ha, Been Subscribed TO
Make it a Certainty.

The Caldwell Board of Trade have
had negotiations under consideration
for some time regarding wooden mill
project. An eastern man who owns q
splendid plant is DESTROYS of making Il
change, and locating where he can get
the raw material before the r,iIroad
freights are added. When it is KIN ,wn
that nearly 20 per cent of the wool
shipped is grease and dirt and freight
paid OH it just the same as Oh the wool,
and that there is no freight to pay on
dirt in manufactured articles, the wis.
dom of the change is apparent. This
man made proposition to the citizens
of Caldwell to form a stock company
with him, he taking half of the stock
and holding the privilege of buying
outstanding stock at any time at face
value. The stockholders are not to
share in the profits of the enterprise,
but are to receive ten per cent interest
on their money. 1t is estimated that
$4,000 will put the mill in running
order, half of which will be subscribed
here. The sheep men adjacent to Cald-
well are enthusiastic, and all who have
been approached have subscribed liber-
ally. 1t is the intention to have the
mill in running order in time for next
years wool clip, the latter part of
April. As soon as all the stock has
been subscribed, and all papers properly
made out and signed by both parties
work on the mill will commence. The
town company will extend their ditch
along the top of the hill east of town
thereby securing 5O-foot fall, insuring
abundant water power. TO make sure
large reservoir will likely be built
and filled during the spring freshets.
The subscription paper was started
last Tuesday, and Thursday, the last
we have seen of it, had the following
subscribers. A number are vet to Be
seen, and the amount will easily be
ralSed.
