The cultivation of cinnamon Is
something like that of.a willow copse,
,trI:gat young shoots springing up
round the stump of the plant pre-
yiously cut. These shoots in their
turn are cut every second year-that
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, whothlnk there
must be a special charm in a CHINA
non stick, though in truth it is hard
TO distinguish 1t 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 of, and then the bark Is
,plit from end to end with a sharp
Knife, which has a curved point;
with this aided by the fingers,
the bark Is carefully removed in long
pieces. These are heapcd up and left
20 soddcn, so as to 1cllitate the next
process--that of scraping of the QUITE
rind.
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 dry in the
sun, when it Tolls itself up into tight
luills. These are neatly sorted and
packed. three or four inside OF one
another, and are made ~ into bales
oyered with cloth, and are then
ready for export.
Cinnamon is so extraordinarily sensi.
tive that great care has to be taken
with regard to its surroundings on
board ship, as a bale Of very fine Gin
namon will losa much of its delicate
aroma IL packed among bales OF
;oarser bark. Various expedients
have been tried to remedy this. The
Portuguese aud Dutch Isolated the
bales by packing them in cocoanut
fiber, or 10 cattle hides; but it is

1t often happea5 the fartber we go
abroad the more forcibie are the illus.
trations that we find to guide US in
our action at home. The conduct OF
commercial rivals nay sometimes
afford strong hints as to how We
should manage our own business.
Some years ago the Government Of
Bavaria sent a skilled forester to
study the condition of timber growth
in the United states. While here he
made the remark, as II speaking OF a
matte. generally known and &C.
ceptod:
I'm fifty years you will have to i'm
port your timber. and MS you will prob.
ably prefer American kinds, We shall
begin TO grow them, In order to be
ready to send them to you at the
proper time"
What an instance OF s,ientiic fore
thought, and withal what a warning!
Perhaps 1t is not yet too late to
grow on our own lands the timber we
shall need a generation or two hence;
/ ut IL we are to do so, 1t is time to
take rigorous steps to stop reckless
forest destruction and TO encourage
scientific forest cultivation.
While our government sell GU
right its forest lands for 81. 80 an acre.
France obtains almost exactly the
same sum yearly frrm each acre of
its forest land by sales Of timber. We
spend our capital; Il ance makes an
income, and safeguards its capital.
Palsy, the famous French potter.
who was wise in other things as well
as porcelain, declared that the
neglect of forests in his day was ''not
a mistake, but a calamity and curse
for France" That c untry has since
learned the lesson. When will ours
follow its egamp.e?-Yoi this Com

Gently when some one was describing
a telephone which had been con

and one over the border In Spain.
.'Ohi that's nothing" commented
the native, not to be overcome by so
triaing a circumstance: "you should
see the one I've just invented. BY
using that you talk French In the

The telephone is ABOUT to have a
new application namely. that Of fore.
telling storms. A new discovery has
been made as to one of the properties
bf this means of transmitting sound.
By placing twoiron bars at seven or
eight metres distance from each
bther, and then putting them in com
munication on one side by a copper
wire covered with rubber, and on the
other side with a telephone, a storm
can, it is said, be predicted at least
twelve hours ahead through a dead
sound heard in the receiver, Accord
ing as the storm advances the sound
resembles the beating OF hail-stones
against the windows. Every flash OF
lightning. and of course every clap Of
thunder that accompanies the storm,
produces a shock similar to that Of q
stone cast between the diaphragm
ind the instrument.
