demand has sprung up for ribbons Of
dried bark with every probability OF
it's increasing to enormous proper
tons After referring to TIE opera
tons of the Rhea Fibre Treatment
Company in London and its depend
eut associations now being establish
ed throughout India, Europe aad
America, the official memorandum
proceed to indicate how the p:oduc-
tioa of the fiber may be increased IN
practically unlimited quantities to
meet the demand. These facts
seem to point to the conclusion that
we arc on the dawn of an Industry
which even promises to rival jute
cultivation The inspector general
then draws out scheme for aiding
the cultivators by official information
as to the areas most suitable for the
growth of the plant and the varieties
best adapted to each locality, and by
government experiments as to the
best modes of stripping, drying
and baling the bark The sub.
ject, he insists, becomes all the
more important and urgent as reports
reach US from the French colonies OF
considerable activity in the Rhea
fiber trade, and as it would not be
convenient to be outstripped by
them
"The Com ess process adopts zln-
cate of soda for the elimination of the
resins, and effects it without the
slightest injury to the fiber. After
the ribbons or strips of bark have
been freed from dirt they are placed
in weak acid baths for night.
Next morning they are passed through
mild alkaline bath, and then
boiled in weak solutions of caustic
soda to which zinc has been added.
When washed and dried by the
usual mechanical means the hbers
emerge as long, silky flasse, entirely
free from the cuticle sud reSinous
gums in which they were embedded,
clean white and ready for the comb
Of the spinner. They take the most
beautiful dyes and can be worked in-
into every variety Of fabric from gor
geous veIvets to cheap drills and deli
cate laces. The combined llghtness
and toughness of the fiber render it
peculiarly suitable for tents and ship
canvas. Three ffths more cloth of
equal strength can be made from
Rhea than from the same weight of
linen. That is to say, LOCO yards of
&c Rhea canvas weigh only as uauch
IS 900 yards of linen It's durability
and resisting power to strain are also
much greater The government of
India is taking eaectuai steps fer the
rapid extension of the cultivation If
its forecast be correct, we may con-
gratulate ourselves that what prcml-
ses to become great new industry
has been rendered possible by the
science Of an English chemist and
has been practically inaugu'ated by
an English company"

Tho Apes Strategy for q Meal.

In the Transvanl some of the fruit
gardens are much exposed to the raw
ages of large unacceptable apes, and q
good guard has to be kept or the re-
suit Of long hard labor would DO lost.
In some Of those gardens grow certain
shrubs which arc much affected by
wasps, the insects liking 10 attach
thereto their nests. These wasps,
though small, have q very venomous
sting. Baboons have often been no.
ticed cycling with euvious glances the
fast ripening fruit In one certain gar
den, but feared to gather, for fear Of
attracting the assaults Of wasps. Ono
morning the farmer heard terrible
cries, and with the aid OF n good field
glass he witnessed the following trag-
edy: A large, venerable baboon, chief
Of the band, was catching the younger
apes and pitching them into the shrubs
wherein hung the wasps' nests. This
he repeated again and again, In spite
Of the most piteous cries from his VIC
Tins. OF course, the wasps assumed
the defensive In swarms. During this
part Of the performance the old brute
quietly fed on the fruit, deigning occa-
sionally to throw fragmentary re-
mains to some female and young ba-
boons little further oR.-Wcstmins-
ter Budget.
