Cinnamon.

The cultivation Of cinnamon u
something like that of.a willow copsc,
straight young shoots springing u j
round the stump OF the plant pre-
viously cut. These shoots in their
turn are cut every second year-that t
is to say. when they are about five
feet high and two inches in circum-
ference. A good many OF these are
sold as walking sticks, and find a
ready market on board the steamers
among the passengers, who think there
must be special charm in a cinna-
mon stick, though in truth it is harl
TO distinguish it from our common
hazel.
But Of course the real thing to be
secured is the highly aromatic inner
bark. First of all, the leaves are
stripped off. and then the bark is
split from end to end with a sharp
knife, which has curved point;
with this aided by the fingers,
the bark IS ca efully removed in long
pieces These are heaped up and left
TO Sodden, so as to hcilitate the next
process-that Of scraping oG the Quite
lrind.
In order to do this each piece o.
the bark is placed on a round piece c.
wood and carefully scraped with the
knife, the almost nude brown wor.-
ers sitting on the ground and using
their toes as an extra hand to steady
the end Of the stick.
The bark is then left to d-y in the
sun, when it rolls itself up into tight
qulls These are neatly sorted AID
packed. three OF four inside OF one
mother, and are made no into bales
ovcred with cloth, and are then
ready for export.
Cinnamon is so oextraordin inarily sensi-
tive that great care has to be taken
with regard TO its surroundings on
BOARD ship, as bale Of very fine Gin
lamon will 10 much OF its delicate
Iroma il packed among bales of
;oarser bark. Various expcdients
nave been tried to remedy this. The
Portuguese and Dutch isolated the
bales by packing them In cocoanut
1ber, or in cattle hides; but it is
'ound that the only real safety
guard is to pack bags OF pepper be-
tween the bales.

1t Will be remembered that when
some time ago Professor Garner went
to Africa to study the monkey Ian
guage there were man. newspaper
JOKES perpetrated at his expense. But
Paul du Chaillu, who has spent much
of his life in Africa, believes that
Garner is right in his theol v of the ex-
istence of monkey language, al
though he does not commit himself to
the notion that it is possible for man
to acquire that language. When there
are so many instances of horses, dogs
and other animals learning so much of
human language as to promptly obey
commands given, it would be unrea-
sonable to suppose that they had not
some kind of language OF their own.
The warning notes of danger that
hen gives to her chicks when hawl
is near, the warning that some snakes
give to their young, upon which the
latter take refuge dom their mothers
throat, and many other instances
prove the existence of an animal lan-
guage, but that does not prove that
man can acquire it.-Chicago Herald,

CalifOrnia's Gold Product.

Expert miners and prospectors pro.
dict that the new South African gold
fields, of which the wonderful city OF
Johannisberg is the commercial CEN
tire, will, when fully developed, prove
to be the richest ever discovered. The
character and extent of the deposits
in that territory, says the New York
Herald, certainly warrant the expec-
tation that further operations will
place it among the most famous min
ing regions in history, its output AL
ready exceeding that of any other dis
trict of similar geographical area with
the single exception of California.
1t is to California, indeed, that his
torians must turn for the standard
with which to ascertain the compara-
tive richness of all other gold fields.
The record of that State in the yield
of the precious metal stands without
parallel in the history of mankind
No other territory ever developed
gold deposits SO extensive, SO rich, or
50 enduring, nor has any ever wit
messed profitable mining operations
extending over such long periods of
time.
The gold produced in California
since 1850 exceedsS1 $50, 900, 900, and
the yield at present amounts to about
Sl3, 200, 900 year, or perhaps 81,
900, 900 more than that of any other
State. The output has decreased some
what in recent years, but the decline
Is not due to any general exhaustion
of the territory, but to the suspension
of the hydraulic mines, which of them
selves turned ont something like S10,-
600, 900 annually.
These figures set high mark for
boomers of the South African gold
fields. They represent a contribution
to the wealth of the world never
equaled by any similar area of terri
tory on the face of the earth. And
California, notwithstanding the diver
sion of vast sums of her energy and
capital to profitable mining opera
tions for other minerals, is still turn
ing out more than one-third of the
gold pro duced in the United States.
