Mexican Hats for Export.

From Modern Mexico.
 A line of Industry which is in its in- far .s-t bids fair in the near future 10 be os Z siderable importance is the ex- pcrtatfan Of hats to the United States. While the wool and felt hats will prob ably never be a very important article or export. as their principal market Is the extrern. southwest and among the few v-ho like to own ''reai Mexican sombre- ro'' there is A probability of extending the commerce in straw and palm hats al most indefinitely. The finer grade or palm hats. which are admirably adapteu for the summer season at seaside ana m the country and in all picnic and outing expeditions. can be laid down in the American market at figures which will enahle them to compete advantageously with the various classes of straw hats used there Reference is made to the classes known as de trenza, which range in price from s1 to s20 (Mexican money). according to the iineness of the braid and quality of the palm.
 The hats woven in one place. ana Whicn sell here at from 10 cents to 30 cents aniece and the straw hat ranging in price from 25 cents to $1, could undoubted- ly be exported to the United States to advantage It is rather strange that some of our enterprising hat men nave never procured models from the United States. so that these various classes or hats may be braided to suit the foreign taste An order was received In thls city a few days since from an interior city of the United States for something like l 900 gross of palm hats. if they could be produced in the shapes desired. There is no reason why this trade should not result in the exportaton annually or hundreds of thousands of gross for use during the hot season in the United States.

And the Angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush and he looked and, be- hold the bush burned with fire and the bush was not consumed. And Moses said, will now turn aside, and see this great sight why the bush is not burnt And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And, he said, Here am l. And, he said, draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet; for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. Exodus iii-2-5.
 It probably will not be the identical burning bush that Moses saw that may be exhibited at the Worlds Fair. But there is little doubt that it is identical with the species spoken of in Holy Writ. and, so far as known. it Is the only one in existence
 Authentic reports from London state that an English hotanist discovered in the hot and arid plains of Arabia a re- markable shrub that can he none other than the burning bush described hy Moses The Englishman procured the wonderful shrub and caused it to be con- Veyed to the famed Kew Gardens on the Thames at London.
 Frederick w Taylor. chief of agricul- ture and horticulture. has commissioned Joseph H. Hadkinson, superintendent of the outdoor planting for the Universal Exposition, to correspond with the Kew authorities and to obtain if possible this wonderful Biblican plant. In the event that he is successful. Mir. Hadkinson will place the shrub on the north side of Agri- cultural hill, near the great floral clocK.
 Numerous English and French scien- lists who have seen the shrub, declare it to be identical with the burning bush' which Moses saw burst into flame at his approach, and blaze for some time with out being consumed. The discovery of the remarkable specimen is accepted by Biblical students as confirming Moses account, and throwing light on one of the most famous of the Old Testament mira cles.
 The plant at Kew has attained height of about six feet. It possesses the re- markabe property of eXhaling an in- flamable gas from it's flowers. which, on being approached by light, takes fire and burns brightly for a few seconds. The. foliage and flowers remain uninjured, while the gas is blazing because of the sap in the plant.
 In the hot deserts of Arabia. where the plant naturally grew more vigorously

than at Kew, a larger quantity Of gas was exhaed, and the fierce rays of the sum- it is said, often set fire to the gas.
 In appearance, the Burning bush plant suggests an arid, sterile habitat. Its leaves are of a dull, sage-green color, the foliage dense, and a small, pale pink tinted blossom appears on the end of long and slender blooming stalk. The plant has no scientific name, and, so Tar as is known. the specimen at Kew IS the only one in existence.
 It is not generally known, but It IS true, nevertheless, that numerous flowers give forth gases in small degree. This is especially notable in the lily of the valley and of the meadow sweet The blossoms of both these plants exhale the fumes of deadly prussic acid by night and all the flowers throw off earbonic acid gas
