CORKS BECOMING VALUABLE
They Are No Longer Thrown Away
After Being Once Used, as
Formerly.

Because the worlds supply of cork
is rapidly diminishing, the cork per-
Quisite in the big hotels and restau-
rants is now a valuable privilege.
They are no longer thrown away, but
are put in box or barrel, where they
accumulate until the cork picker
comes around and pays a round sum
in cash for all offered to him, states
the Detroit Free Press. The waiter
now employees corkscrews which inflict
the minimum amount of damage upon
the cork, and in many places where large
numbers of corks are extracted in q
day a steel cork extractor is used.
Large corks may be recut with con-
siderable profit. Others, which have
been injured, can be cut SO as TO dis
card the injured portion and utilize
that which is sound. Corks which
have been diseoiored by grease can
be cleaned by benzine, ammonia or
lime and water. Those which have
been discolored or favored by medi-
cine can be rendered usable by long
continued boiling with small quantity
of chloride of lime and subsequent dry
ing in a kiln or oven. The finest quail
ity come from champagne bottles, and
always command a good price. 1t is
possible to reuse them, and 1t is said
that this is done by manufacturers. beth

UNITED STATES GYPSUM.
Depdsits Have Been Developed In
Many States Throughout
the Union.

The manifold uses to which gypsum
Is now applied gives Its production
great Importance. Ground gypsum
serves 4 valuable purpose in agricul-
ture as land plaster, increasing the fer
tility of soils. One Of the uses with
which we could dispense is that as an
adulterant of -four and other products.
Calcined gypsum may be classified as
plaster of Paris and wall plaster.
Plaster Of Paris Is used principally in
molding, for forming molds and plas-
ter ornaments, especially such as are
used in interiors. The glory of Chica-
gos white city might have remained
an unrealized dream had 1t not been
for the gypsum deposits Of the coun-
try. The use of plaster of paris as
molds in the manufacture Of porcelain
is extensive. In The plate glass indus
try thousands of tons are required
annually for bedding the glass during
the process Of grinding and polishing.
It is also employed as filler in paper
and as a minor constituent of soms
Portland cements. Some raw gypsum
is used as body for paint. Calcined
gypsum prepared with glue ard pig
ments, and sometimes called alabas-
tine, is applied as thin plaster to
walls. The use of gypsum as wall plas-
ter is most extensive, and because OF
Its adaptability it has largely dis
placed lime and sand mortar as wall
finish. To the many people concerned
in the manufacture and use of gypsum,
Bulletin No. 223. on gypsum deposits
in the United States,- which has just
been published by the United States
geological survey, will be of interest.
The bulletin is published for gratuitous
distribution.
This report consists of a comprehen-
sive summary of existing knowledge
regarding the gypsum deposits of the
United States, compiled by Mr. George
l. Adams, with the collaboration OF
II other geologists, who have prepared
papers on the deposits of the several
states. The geology, technology and
production of gypsum are discussed by
Mr.. Adams in preliminary paper.
Special attention is given by him and
his associates to the economic features
of the subject.
The diverse conditions of develop
ment of the deposits of different re-
gions are we'll shown in the papers on
the occurrence of gypsum in the vari-
GUS states. During 1902 gypsum was
produced in Michigan, Iowa, Texas,
New York, Ohio, Kansas, Oklahoma,
California Wyoming, Colorado, Vir-
giEia, Utah, Montana, South Dakota,
Nevada and Oregon. The industry is
thus seen to be we'll distributed, ex-
cept in the southeastern part of tho
United States.

PEARLS NEED PROTECTION.
Fisheries of Ceylon Being Ruined by
Enemies of the Produc-
ing Oyster.

Some time ago the British colonial Of
fee sent Prof. Hardman to Ceylon in the
hope that he might find solution and a
remedy as well for the years of failure
which occur so frequently in the pearl
fisheries. The professor has recently
published report which is most inter.
esting. Not only during recent years,
but for many centuries previous, the far
and lean seasons have been the despair
of the collectors of these beautiful gems
The talk of investigation undertaken
by Prof. Hardman and his able assistant,
Mr. Harnell, was no light one, but, as the
report shows, seems to have been abun-
dainty fruitful in scientific results an6
achieved the purpose for which it was
dispatched.
A complete survey of the whole sea
bottom of the pearl fisheries area has
now been made, partly by sounding anL
dredging, and partly by the aid of divers,
Mr.. Hornell himself descending in a
European diving dress. 1t was found
that flourishing beds are often deplated
by the ravages of boring sponges, boring
mollusks, starfishes, internal parasites
and fishes, though the destruction
wrought by these is slight compared to
the whole destruction caused by shifting
sands due to currents or churned by
the southwest monsoons. Ore bed eX
amined in March. extending over an
area of 16 square miles, was covered with
enormous quantities of foysters, rot less
than about 100, ,0000 900 0O0." In Novem-
ber of the same year the spot was re-
visited. when this vast host was founG
to have vanished, having been buried in
the sand or swept down the deep decliv-
ity outside the bed.
The loss from overcrowding is also
enormous. Prof. Hardman suggests the
simple expedient of transplanting to
sheltered spots affording suitable condi-
tions for growth and infection. Nature
has often to be assisted in the prepara-
tion of these spots by the process known
as "culching," scattering the floor of the
bed with rock and loose coral. to afford
anchorage for the byssus of the young
oyster. The havoc caused by starfish is
shown from the fact that bank exam
ined in March. 1902, lodged a crop OF
o-sters estimated at 5,750.000 by March,
1903, they had nearly gone.
