Summary OF tho BallOtIng.
, 1896-08-12

The vegetation Of tho Guianas is a
devouring mass Of green, which steadily
encroaches, and is kept down only by
the ceaseless warfare Of one plant upon
another. A tree springs up and finds its
way to the top by its energy. 1t is no
ooner established than "a parasite begins
to climb its trunk and lace itself around
the tree. until finally the grip Of the
parasite kills the tree, and both fall to
ruin and decay, leaving space, which
is Immediately occupied by new forms.
To penetrate such u jungle is impossi-
BILE without the use Of u machete and
IL. To keep a path open requires con
slant cutting. If you shoot II bird or an
animal, it falls perhaps not more than
800 feet away, but it may require q half
hour or an hour to reach it, and unless
you can shoot from a canoe and can
drop the bird into the water MS u rule
you cannot find your game after it is
killed. Words cannot describe the
beauty Of this mass Of green, vigorous
vegetation, Ior can ono comprehend the
difficulty of c%onquering such a wilder
ness unless one has actually grappled
with it.-W. Nephew King in Century.

Saturday at 10 o'clock Charles Ash

OUR WATER SUPPLY.
SPECIAL MEETING OF COUNCIL
LAST NIGHT TO CONSIDER
MATTERS.
Water to Be Shut OF All Day Sunday
When n City Steamer VIII Be
Brought Into USE. J. McCutch-
cons Proposition to the Coun-
Gil.

The city council held a special ses-
sion last night for the purpose of tax
ing action in lhe mater of purifying
and regulating the clty's water supply.
Mayor Brown presided, there being
present Messrs. Lohlein, Fee and
Jones.
The question of devising the best
means ! o overcome the difficulty which
now threatens The city from a scant
and impure water supply was discussed
very fully and among other things a
suggestion from Master Mechanic
Davies for improving conditions was
given careful consideration. The lat.
ter proposition was in effect that a
dam be constructed near the lower end
OF the springs so as to throw much Of
the water, nov going to waste, inc the
main receiver. This plan was favor
ably received. but owing to lack of
funds in the city treasury at The pres
ent time IL was deemed impractical to
take action. especially as the carrying
cHt of the project would entail con-
siderable expense. Several other sug-
go9toas for bettering conditions were
brought before the meeting but had to
be dropped for the same reason.
After a lengthy discussion. the fol-
lowing motion was made by Council
man L5hlein and unanimously carried:
That on account of lack of money to
make needed improvements at The city
springs. the same be washed out by the
steamer. the city's wafer supply to be
shut off on Sunday next between the
hours of ) a. m. and 6 p. m. on that day,
provided permission was granted by
the Union Pacific officials.
The mayor appointed Mr.. Lohlein a
committee of one to wait on Mr.. Davies
and ask permission to shut off the
water on the day named.
1t is estimated that the springs cen
be cleaned in the manner above stated
at a cost of about SIS and while the vol
ume will, of course, not be~increased by
the work, it Will be rendered free from
the disease breeding vegetable matter
with which the city has been afflicted
fol the past three months.
Among the propositions submitted
as a means of increasing the supply
was n from Engineer j. J. McCutch-
con. who offered to put in a centri-
fusal pump with a capacity of 1900
gallons a minute, same to be run by a
16-foot air motor. The price asked for
this was 5000 and provided the city
saw fit to make the purchase Mr.. Nc
Cutcheon would agree to keep the en-
CINE in repair for the next two years.
By this proposition 1t was claimed
that the capacity of the springs would
he almost doubled. for the reason that
the engine would pump the water from
the springs below the reservoir, the
supply from which now goes to waste.

around the stem, one little above the
ground and the other inn ediately under
the spring of the main branches. Be-
tween these three or four longitudinal
lncisions are made, and the utmost care
is taken not to injure the inner bark.
The cork is thereafter removed in sec
lions, into which it has been cut. bv in
sorting under it the wedge.shaped
handle of the implement used IN making
the incisiOns. After the outer surface
has been scraped and cleaned the pieces
flattened by heating them over the fire
and submitting them to pressure on the
flat 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 manu-
facture or expectation.
Professor Hugh Jamison, superinten-
dent Of the agricultural school. sent the
sam piles of the cork cut from the bark
of the oak on his farm, and this seemed
to be of very fair quality. He stated
that this second yield would furnish
from $1,000 to 10000 corks, and in his
opinion it would be a paying investment
to try to introduce the cork industry in
Louisiana, as the tree is very hardy. will
grow in any damp soil, needs very little
if any, care, and although fifteen to
twenty years must elapse before it Can
be made practically to pay, the revenue
derived from an extensive farm would
am cunt to a considerable sum- The
older the tree the more valuable it will
become; for it continues to live and
thrive under successive stripping pro-
cesses for $50 years.
