coRKs GROWN IN LOUISIANA.
And Prof. Jamison Thinks 1t a Fine
swamp Land Crop.

From the New Orleans Plcayune.
The Picayune received yesterday fine
sample of cork of home product and man
ufacture 1t might not be known, but it
is a fact that on the farm attached to the
agricultural school of the Southern Uni
versity, four miles above Carrollton, there
is a splendid specimen of the quercus SUI
Der, an evergreen species Of oak, whose
outer layer, stripped and properly manip-
ulated, furnishes the material from which
the ubiquitous cork is derived. This tree
is 30 years old, and was planted by the
late William Mitthoff, who was foreman
of the late John Slidell. at the time that
distinguished gentleman tried to estab-
fish the village of Germantown in Jefter-
son parish. Mr.. Mitthoff obtained the
seed from the department of agriculture
at Washington. 1t is believed that this
is the only one of it's kind in Louisiana.
The cork tree grows to the hight OF
about 80 feet, and is found in the south OF
Europe and on the North African coast
generally, but it is practically cultivated
in Spain and Portugal. The outer layer
of bark, in the cork oak, by annual addi-
tons, from within gradually becomes
thick soft homogeneous mass, possessing
those compresSible and elastic properties
upon which the economic value of the
material chiefly depends. The first strip
ping of cork from young trees takes place
when they are from Is to 20 years of age.
The tree in question was relieved of its
first yield ten years ago, and the second
trimming was performed yesterday, and
the layer thus obtained was one and a
half inches thick. The first yield was
rough. unequal and woody in texture. This
is called the virgin cork, and is useful on
ly as tanning substance or for forming
rustic work in Conservatives, etc. The
second stripping yesterday was an i'm
provement in quality, but was not exactly
fitted for the finer commercial uses
In the country, where the cork industry
is extensive, the operation of stripping
takes place during the months of July
and August. Two cuts are made around
the stem, one a little above the ground
spring of the main branches Between
these three or four longitudinal incisions
are made and the utmost care is taken
not to injure the inner bark. The cork is
thereafter removed in sections, into
which it has been cut, by inserting under
1t the wedge-shaped handle Of the inn
plement used in making the incisions At
ter the outer surface has been scraped
and cleaned the pieces are fattened by
Cheating them over the fire and submit
ting them to pressure on the fat surface.
In the heating operation the surface is
charred and thereby the pores are closed
up, and what is termed nerve is given
to the material. In this shape the cork
IS ready for manufacture or exporta-
ton.
Prof Hugh Jamison, superintendent Of
the Agricultural school, sent the samples
of the cork cut from the bark of the
oak on his farm, and this seemed to be

QUEER BETTING SYSTEMS.
A Man Who Is Guided Entirely by
Names in Backing Horses.
From the New York Tribune.


From the New York Tribune.
Many men have funny ways of trying
to pick the winners of horse races. AS the
Irishman said, IF there is anything hard
er to pick than the winner of one horse
race, it is the winner of another" Sys-
TENS innumerable have been invented to
beat the layers of odds at the races, and
the inventors have started out with much
enthusiasm and money to put their sys-
TENS to practical tests, and theaEhave in
variably emerged from the smNe of the
battle without either. Many of them have
afterward gone into the business of SELL
Ing the right to use their systems to I'M
sophisticated individuals who have no sys-
TENS of their own. 1t is distinctly con-
trary to the theory that human intelli-
gence has advanced with the progress of
civilization that men can sell methods of
making fortunes without capital to other
men. One would naturally suppose that
the victims would readily see that If these
sharpers had a good way Of making a for
tune they would not sell the idea for little
or nothing to others, but would lose no
time in reaping the benefit of 1t for them
selves. But, as p T Barnum used to say,
1.-THE public likes to be humbugged." Mr.
Barnum died a rich man.
James Gallus, a young colored man, has
of late been electrifying the "Tenderloin
district with a display of wealth which
he says he made at the races by PLAYING
an original system. James goes altogether
by numbers this Is due probably to the
fact that he was formerly a policy fend.
He says that he has noticed that the
horses which are numbered on the black
board from one to four. He says that he
has made a comfortable living by taking
advantage of this fact. According to
James story, he takes one of these num-
bers and puts a small bet on the horse
which carries it. If the animal wins. an
is well and good. II the horse loses. James
bets on the horse carrying the same num-
Der in the next race, and should the beast
fail to come under the wire first he puts
sim another bet on the horse with the
same number in the following race. ana
so he goes on until the number is at the
head of the row hoisted on the blackboard
at the end of a race. He always bets
enough money on race TO cover any loss
es which he may have suffered in previous
races, and leave him winner OF a consid-
cradle sum besides. James thinks his

of very fair quality. He stated that
this second yield would furnish from 5000
to 10000 corks, and, in his opinion, it
would be a paying venture to try to
introduce the cork Industry in Louisiana,
as the tree is very hardly, will grow in
any damp soil, needs very little, if any,
care, and, although fifteen to twenty years
must elapse before il can be made practi-
cally to pay. the revenue derived from an
extensive farm would amount to a con-
siderable sum. The older the tree the
more valuable it will become, for it con-
tinues to live and thrive under successive
stripping processes for $50 years.

Managua, Nicaragua, March 30.-The
peace commission, consisting of DR. Pru-
dente Alfaro, vice president of Salvador;
Gen. Comlins, of Salvador, and Senior
Ramirez, Nicaraguan minister of foreign
affairs, has returned from La Paz, where
conference with the representatives of
the insurgent Lsonists has been held.
The terms offered by President Zelaya
are understood to have been an absolute
surrender of all arms, the payment of all
war expenses, and the surrender of the
leaders for trial.
The insurgents not only refused to &C.
cept these terms, but demanded that
President Zelaya t1rn over to them the
government of Nicaragua.
Consequently the war will be continued
with renewed bitterness on both sides.
There is great excitement here. Steps
are being taken to reinforce the troops
at the front and begin an advance on
Leon as soon as much needed supplies
of ammunition reach the government
forces.
The government ,s said to be hard
pressed for funds as we'll as ammunition,
which facts are not unknown to the Leon
lists, who are understood to be receiving
secret support from Guatamala and other
sources, which may result in complica-
tions likely to cause a general war
throughout Central America.
1t is suggested that this is a good op-
portunity for the Intervention of the
United States with view to bringing
about peaceful settlement of the dis
pute, as q conflict involving all the Cen
tral American republics would result in a
serious check upon business and the de-
velopment of the natural resources of
Central America.

Consul Bnford, of Juarez, has in his
possession oil the data needed from the
Mexican side and has agreed to furnish
it to Judge Magofiin to be forwarded to
the state department. Consul Buford's
data shows that claims, amounting
10 the aggregate to $l0,000,000 have been
filed against the United States by Mex.

Trying to Beat Climate.

New Orleans, La, March 30.-The Or
leans Parish Medical Board has reported
upon a series of experiments at the
Charity hospital, which, il is stated, have
finally solved the problem of cure for
consumption. These experiments have
been startlingly successful. The material
which has been used is an anti-phthesin,
which was discovered about a year ago
by DIR. Karl Won Ruck, who was student
of Prof. Koch in Berlin in 1892. DR.. Won
Ruck has been experimenting with the
cure for fifteen months in his private
laboratory in Asheville, N. G., and sum
none d to his assistance PROT Klebs, from
Berlin. Together they have reached the
astonishing result of so per cent OF actual
cures. One hnpdred and eighty-two cases
were treated, covering every stage of the
disease. The matter attracted much at
attention from the medical profession in
New Orleans, and DR.. Won Ruck says

labored to separate these poisons for a
number of years, and have given it my

Golden, Santa Fe County, March u.s.
The large derrick, eighty-five feet in

pany in Old Timer gulch near Golden, was
blown down Thursday at 80 p. m, and
Maurice Clark and John ID. Hart had q

Clark and Hart were working on top
when the wind struck the derrick. They
started to descend the ladder, but had
only gone ten feet when the derrick fell,
breaking off within twenty feet of the
bottom and carrying Clark and Hart with
it.
Clark held on until the derrick struck
the ground, and thus saved himself from
being seriously injured. He was badly
bruised on the left hip and leg.
Hart lost his hold within ten feet of the
ground and was hurled downward strik-
