GREAT CORK FORESTS.
tImmense Tracts in Spain and POrtu-

p Evergreen Oak.

+ The cork forests of Spain cover an
area of 100000 square miles, produc-
lting the finest cork in the world. These
forests exist in groups and cover wide
lsbelts of territory, those in the region

10000 square miles in Portugal are de-
voted to the cultivation of cork trees,
though the tree virtually abounds in
every part of the country.
The methods in vogue in barking
and harvesting the cork in Spain and
Portugal are virtually the same, The
barking operation is effected when the
tree has acquired sufficient strength
to withstand the rough handling it
receives during this operation, which
takes place when it has attained the
fifteenth year of its growth. After the
first stripping the tree is left in this
! juvenescent state to regenerate, sub
sequent strippings being effected at
| intervals of not less than three years,
and under this process the tree will
continue to thrive and bear for up
ward of $50 years.

NATURE IN ART DESIGNS.
simdlarity between Standard Pat
terms or Figures and GeOLOgi-
cal Formations.

The increased use of natural objects
N what, for lack of better term, il
called industrial art, is largely due to
some lectures delivered not long ago
by university graduates before the
schools of art design in this city, says
the New York Post. Prior to that time
the work had been either along conven-
tional lines or else entirely original,
frequently painfully original The
lecturers called attention. to the re-
markable beauty and utility of many
of the fossils, both plant and animal.
What made the matter more interest
ing was the resemblance, they pointed
out, between many standard patterns
in textiles and designs in metal work
and commonplace features in the earth
strata. The black and white dotted
calico might have been printed from
the rain marks found in the old red
sandstone in the Connecticut river.
The dot and line pattern so commonin
mems neckties is almost a copy of the
graptolites found in the state of New
York. The arabesquerieo of Moorish in
teriors is fair imitation of the bark
of the lepidodendra, and many of the
spirals used on wall papers and car
pets find prototype in either geologic
cycades or some species still living in
Australia.
These lectures have borne much
more fruit than is commonly known.
Hundreds of original designs made in
the past six years are either borrowed
or modified from these sketches by
Mother Nature written upon the rocks.
woman who gets up fancy silk pat
terms for neckwear acted upon the adj
vice of the lecture and devised some IS
or 20 arrangements of color based upon
the Franklinite ores in New Jersey.
These consist of mixtures Of different
colored crystal, black, scarlet, gold,
white, brown, green and blush, and are
always restful and at the same time
impressive. In these nature has har-
monized the combination of bright coll
ors just exactly as the Tartars do in
Russian Tartary. Every one of the
Franklinite designs made a hit, and
has been seen on Broadway in tens Of
thousands of.crayats and scarfs.

KINGS ANCIENT FAMILY.
Something About the FOrebears OF
the ReigninE Monarch of
the Spaniards.


The king of Spain comes of an an-
cient family, that of Bourbon. 1t il
traced back to Robert the Strong, who
died fighting the Normans in 500. The
direct ancestry of the Spanish house,
BourbOn-Anjou, is considerably young
er, having at it's head Louis XIV,
King of France, who was born Sep
TENDER 5, 1888. The immediate ances-
Try of King Alfonso dates back to
q ferdinand, prince of Austria, born
october IA, 1884. He married in 1901,
Princess Antoinette Theresa, daugh-
ter of Ferdinand, ]. king of Sicily,
who died shortly after the marriage.
A second marriage was contemplated
with the eldest daughter of Lucien
3onaparte, but this so enraged the
Spanish people that the king had to
abdicate, May s, 1903, says the WASH
ington Times. He resumed the Spanish
throne again in. March, 1914, and then
married Maria Isabella, daughter of
King John VI, of Portugal, who died
tour years later. Ferdinand's third
wife was Josepha, daughter of Prince
Macmillan, of SaXony, who also died,
and a fourth wife was Marie Christine,
laughter of King Francis l., of Sicily,
who became the mother of former
Queen Isabella II. Since then the an
,estry of King Alfonso is of sufficient
modern date to preclude repetition.

CHAPTER XXXV.

For long time after the detective
mad gone Griswold paced the floor of
the small office, treading out the
winepress Of humiliation and defeat,
and trying, as a man may under such
hard conditions, to decide upon a
course of action which should be
fair to all and decently fair for him
self
For time it seemed impossible to
draw any thread of sane procedure
out of the revulsiOnary tangle in
volved him. He told himself bitterly
that she had failed him at the
crucial moment; that she had
stepped down from the pedestal of
the ideal to become a woman of
flesh and blood, loving, condoning
and fOrgiving everything in the man
to whom she had given her heart.
But very quickly he was made to
see the injustice of this; to see first
that he had deliberately gone about
to build wall of personality around
her judgment, and then, by his own
confession of love, to apply a test
too severe for any loving woman to
withstand.
More than that, he saw that he
had played the hypocrite with her
even at the last moment. When he
had gone to her, nothing had been
farther from his thoughts than a
confession of his guilt. The resolve
to tell her all had come suddenly,
and he had yielded to the impulse
on the spur of the moment. None
the less, he had let her believe that
1t was well considered; that he had
determined beforehand upon the
course he had outlined in the brief
farewell.
Taking it all in all, he had an ex-
ceedingly bad half-hour after Griffin
left him, and out of the fiery fur
mace of it emerged a man altogether
different from the hot-hearted
Proletary who had robbed the Bayou
bank. He had stood alone against
the worlds condemnation in that
act, and had thought it defensible
from an impregnable position forti-
fed by the rights of man. But now
he was made to see the act and its
culpability through the -magnifying
glass of another's personality. He
had called it a social necessity, and
no sin; and yet the direct conse-
quences of it had been to destroy
his ideal of uprightness to make a
pure, God-fearing woman his accom-
plice after the fact. E,r 81

his way blindly out of the darkness

had enmeshed himself was cut at

DO NOT SPEAK ITALIAN.
Hundreds OF Thousands of Italians
in Italy Who Do Not Speak
the Language.

A very odd circumstance in a coun-
try so old as Italy is that there is in
the peninsula about 100000 Italians,
representing 52,2OS families in rs diff
ferent cOmmUnes, who do not speak
Italian. In new countries, like, for in
stance, Canada and the United States
this would cause no surprise, but in
italy it is considered so strange that
the statement has been contradicted,
says London paper. The idioms which
they use may be divided roughly into
fye-French, German, SlaYonic, Al
banese, Greek and Catalonian. The
French dialect is spoken in 81 COM
munes, by more than 5000 people, in
and near the COSTA valley. This Ian
guage tends more to increase than to
decrease, and is used officially in the
schools, churches and public offices.
German is spoken in parts of Pied
mont and Venetia, in the former by 81
700 persons, representing 1,138 FAM
lilies, and in the latter by $500 in 1,17O
families. This dialect is fast decrease
ing, and will before long have COM
pletely disappeared. Slav is spoken in
Friuli, on the eastern confines of the
peninsula, by 24,7OO persons, and in the
Abruzzi by $500 in LOAF families; that
is, 10000 persons altogether. In the
center of Italy 81, 564 families, COM
posed of about 10000 persons, speak
Albanese, and seem to be on the in
crease. In the south, Greek is the lam
guage of $1,000 individuals, while Cat
alonia is limited to one city and it's
environs in Sardinia and to 1908 peo-
pie.
