MODELLING IN CORK.
New Fad to While Away the Long
Winter Evenings

From the Memphis News.
An interesting and extremely fascinating
occupation for the long winter evenings
Is that Of modelling in cork and after a lit
tie practice the persevering ones will be
surprised to find what clever and ingenious
young architects they will become while
they will be greatly charmed as the crude
design grows beneath their nimble fingers.
Let US suppose that 1t Is desired to man
ufacture a model of some old ruined cas-
tie. upon which the clinging ivy twines so
tenderly. and around which hover many
memories of bygone state and splendor.
Workers must first supply themselves
with the necessary materials and proper
tools. OF the latter they will require some
paint brushes, a hammer. a sharp pen
knife, pencil and pair of scissors. Hav'
ing procured these. they must obtain a
quantity of cardboard cork sheets, few
old bottle corks, little fine sand. paints.
glue wire and a small quantity of artif
cial moss and ivy.
And now. having decided upon the build
ing and procured the necessary materials,
the next thing to be done Is to draw
plan Of the castle you intend to reproduce.
This accomplished. you may proceed to
make a frame of light cardboard, cutting
it carefully to the requisite size, and then
securing upon the millboard framework a
layer of the sheet cork to form the walls.
This may be made to represent Stonework
by means of uneven pencil strokes, which
should afterward be colored in with black
or dark brown paint, in order to give the
structure a suitable appearance of age.
The particular portion of the castle
which has fallen into absolute ruin and
decay should have rough and jagged
edges. The walls should be darkened by
means of a little brown paint judiciously
applied, and small. irregular pieces of cork
may be heaped against the sides to repre-
sent fallen masonry.
Broken columns are quite easy to imi-
tate. and if an ordinary cork be roughly
carved with sharp pocketknife and then
carefully painted and sprinkled with
small quantity of moss. which should be
rubbed between the fingers until light
powder Is formed 1t will be found to serve
the purpose most effectively.
And now the artificial ivy (Which must
be of a small-ieaved Variety may be called
into requisiton and trained around the
broken columns and upon the crumbling
walls until a most realistic appearance is
given to the whole. The Moor should be
strewn with sand with which a little pow
dered moss has previously been mingled.

FISH ARE BITING.
a Fifteen-Pound Bass Has Been
Caught

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
AVON-BY-THE-SEA. N. J.. June "a. 1904
Early guests here have been playing in
the greatest kind of fishermen's luck during
the past week. Although the resort Is
noted for its fine surf bathing by reason Of
it's location at the mouth of Shark river,
never In its history have so many fine bass
been taken from the water than during the
past week. Not a day has passed but that
a dozen more catches have been re-
ported. The largest one Of the lot was
caught by Judge William B. Guild of New
ark who is summer cottager here. The
big fish tipped the scales at exactly fifteen
pounds.
The big Avon Inn opened its doors for the
reception of guests this morning. and Man
ager Edward NJ. Shanks states that his
bookings are so good that the house will
be nearly filled by the LIST of July.
The other remaining hotel which opened
its doors today was the Marlborough. and
has a new proprietor this year in the per-
son of Mr.. e. r. Hutton, who has con-
Quoted many hotels in the large cities. The
booking here indicates a very prosperous
season.
The past week has seen many additions to
the cottage colony, which will be complete
before another week has passed.

BUYING RUBIEs IN BURMA.
A Peculiar Method of Bargaining 70
the Precious Stones.

From the jewelers. Circular Weekly.
The peculiar business methods of oriental
merchants are Illustrated by the manner Of
buying rubes In Burma. In the examina ton
of rubies artificial light is not used, the
merchants holding that full sunlight alone
can bring out the color and briIliancy OF the
gems. Sales must. therefore, take place be-
tween am. and 3 pm. and the sky must
be clear.
The purchaser. placed near "A window. has
before him large copper plate. The sellers
come to him one by one, and each emptIes
upon this plate his little bag of rubies The
purchaser proceeds to arrange them for
valuation In number of small heaps The
first division is into three grades. according
to size; each of these groups Is again di-
vided into three piles, according to color,
and each of these piles, in turn. is again d.
vided into three groups, according TO shape.
The bright copper plate has a curious use.
The sunlight reflected from ii through the
stones brings out, with true rabies. a color
effect different from that with red spinels
and tourmalines which are thus easily sep
arated.
The buyer and seller then go through a
very peculiar method of bargaining by signs.
or rather grips, in perfect silence. After
agreeing upon the fairness of the clasSliica-
tion they join their right hands, covered
with a handkerchief or the Hap Of gar
ment and by grips and pressures mutually
understood among all these dealers they
make, modify and accept proposals of pur-
chase and sale. The hands are then UNI
covered and the prices are recorded.

A GAY WEEK FOR 1T.

Fine New Hotel.

Special Correspondence OF The Evening Star.
SPRING LAKE, n. j.. June "a 1904
Spring Lake has just passed through the
most brilliant week In her history Never
before have so many noted people ever gath
cred here at one time, and never before has
the resort ever witnessed such elaborate So

week almost of bewilderment, with the
wedding of Miss Margaret Maloney to Dr.

Monday morning the hotels throughout the
entire resort began to fill up rapidly Then
as not a few OF the wedding guests were
also invited to the opening of the Mon
mouth on Friday. the stay of many of the
visitors was prolonged TO the weeks end.
1t seemed to many II the entire resort
had been specially prepared for this gala
week, for it was only "a few days ago that
the finishing touches were put on the new
boardwalk and the last of the fine drive
ways was rolled and graveled, so that the
entire town was in spic-span condition.
The opening OF the New Monmouth Hotel
took the form of a banquet, rendered by
the stockholders OF the company to about
