4Emlook BARK IN vgaMoNr.
An Important Industry og the Green Noun.
 tain State.

The manufacture of leather depends, so | very large extent. on the chemical property, which tannie acid possesses, ,f uniting with albumen and forming a hard insoluble compound, which may be said to be the basis of leather. Tan nic acid -or, as it is more commonly called. tdnnin-is found in the bark Of nearly every species of forest tree. but the quantity in most trees is small. In fact it is found in but four species of | trees in sufficient quantity to render the bark of those trees an important article ef commerce. These are the sumac palmetto, oak and hemlock. Of these. the hamlock is the only kind found to any extent in Vermont, and the preparation of it's bark forms an important and profitable industry for the farmer and lumberman. There are no accurate statistics available relating to the production and consumption of hemlock bark, but from such data as I have been able to obtain by personal inquiry at several tanneries, the amount consumed in this state alone cannot be loss than ten thousand cords. This, at six dollars per cord--which is about
 
 sixty thousand dollars. In addition to this, the United States annually iln- ports, from Quebec an1 the adjacent provinces, hemloel bark to the value of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
 IemloelS lumber Is coarse grained and not very strong. 1t takes no polish and cannot even be planed smooth, henee it is not very valuable. Still it sdnrable andmalses good fencing and is smuch used in building, and for stable flooring it is unexeelled. Of late years it has been much used for making shingles For fence posts hemlock is chased equal to white cedar, though far inferior to the rcd kind 1t will thus be seen that the timber products of the hemlocl1 are by no means incon- siderable, and the bark equals in value all the rest of the tree. Ortii Tiarily we can calculate npon a cord of hark for every thousand feet of lumber. The price, delivered, is the same, and the wood from the tops will pay the differ ence ill hauling.
 The method of preparing the bark for. market is very simple The tree, after being cut, is marked off into sec. tions Of four feet each; then the bark is cut through at each section, longi- tudinal incision is made the entire length and with an iron~pointed instru- ment designed for the purpose the bark is pfied off. This work can only be done during the summer months. The bark. Should then be dried for two or three days4 when 1t is ready to be piled, or it may be marketed immediately. No estimate can be given as to the amount of bark d man can peel in day, as it will vary eaeeordino to the size and shape ef the trees. If the trees are large and free from limbs the bark will be thick and come in wide strips, and two, or even three cords will not be an unusual days work. If, on the con trary, the trees are small and bushy the bark will be thin rand narrow, and man may not be able to peel half a cord in a day. American Agricul. faFiGf

A Place in the Irish Channel Where They
 Come to Be Fed.

Come to Be Fed.
 At Logan. near the Null of Galloway. there is most interesting tidal fish pond. A rent in the cliffs facing the Irish channel admits the salt water through q narrow Assure protected byl a grating into a circular rock basin some thirty feet in diameter and twenty feet deep The cliffs rise high all round; stone steps descend on one side to ledge leveled into footpath at the waters edge No sooner does the visitors footfall resound on the stairs than the green water, hitherto mo. tionless and apparently lifeless, be comes peopled with large brown fish rising from the depths gliding and dashing about in great state of excitement. These are cod, lythe and saithe, which, caught on lines in the sea. have been transferred to this pond to be fattened for the table. They are fed daily by the keeper, and experience has taught them to connect the sound of footsteps with their meal-time.
 Formerly a clappcr used to be rung to summon them, but this was no more than a trick of the stage; the footfall on the stone is quite enough to walen them to activity. Most of the cod. be- ing deep.water fish, become totally blind in captivity from excess of light: but they become so tame and aecus- toned to their keeper as not only to feed out of his hand, but some of them allow themselves to be lifted out of the water. One may witness .the strange sight of q huge cod, more than an ell long dandled on the knee like baby. his mouth stuffed with mussels and hmpets, after which he is returned to the water with mighty splash. On the table these fish. thus tended and fed, prove much better than fish brought straight from the open sea.
 The other instance concerned the hearing of fresh-water fish, and was not less suggestive to the angler. | was sitting painting by the side of q large loch one still day in October. The shallow water af the margin was full of small fry of some sort. probably young perch. About two o'clock in the afternoon a shooting party made their appearance on hillside distant about three-auarters of mile. Their shots were infrequent; 1 could see the flash and smoke, and several seconds later the sound of the discharge came through the quiet air At each report the fry in the shadows darted off into the deep water then drew gradually back toward the edge, to be startled again to flight by the next shot. This occurred seven or eight times in the course of half an hour, and there could be no doubt whatever that, whether. these fish heard the reports as clearly as did or less clearly, they heard them so distinctly as to be alarmed Nation. al Magazine.

Smuggling in Rnssin.

One of the most ingenious devices for smuggling was detected in Russia not long ago, says citizen of St. Petersburg. "A great number of false bank notes had been put into cireula- tion within the dominiens of the ear. They could have only been imported, and, although the strictest search was made habitually over every vessel en- tering Russian port, no trace of the smuggling of false notes was .discov- cred An accident, however, Ut last brought the mystery to light. It hap pened that several cases of lead pencils arrived one day from England, and while being examined one of them fell out from package, and the custom house officer, picking it up, cut it to a point, and used it to sign the order which delivered up the pencils to the consignee He kept the loose pencil for his own use and few days after ward, because it needed a new point, he cut 1t again, and found that there was no more lead. He cut still farther and was surprised to find thin roll of paper nestled in the hollow place where the lead was supposed to be. The paper was one of the false notes and in this way they had been srnuggled into the country ''-st. Louis Globe-Demo- erat.
