LACE BARK TREES.
The Many uses to Which Their AiriIy
Light Fabrics Are Tut.

Tie Many Uses to Witch Their AtriIy
Light Fabrics Are Tut.
There are in MI about half n dozen
lace bark trees in the world, so culled
because the inner burk yields n natural
lace In ready nude sheet form which
cnn be made up in scrviccable articles
of apparel. Only four of these curious
species OF trees are OF much practical
value. Tourists who have stopped at
Hawaii or Salmon may recall the lace
bark clothing OF the MISUNDERSTANDING
of II neat brown color when new, of re-
marknDle strength and of q fragrant
oaor, like freshly cured tobacco leaf.
The native tapa cloth. MS 1t is CHILLED, Is
made from the bark Of the brusonctia
papirifera, but It Is not usually includ-
cd among the real lace burk trees.
In Its natural state the real lace bark
Is of Il delicate cream white tint. 1t Is
probably n kind Of iibrous pith. When
tile outer bark Is removed 1t can be
unfoldcd and unwound in one seamless
piece, having n surface Of q little
more thai q square yard. Washing
II sun bleaching give it n dazzling
white appearance. The fabric is qirlly
light. 1t Is used IN the West Indies for
mantillas. c%ruvnts, collars, cuffs, win
dow curtains-ln Il word, for every puri-
pose that ordinary LACE is used. In
making up shawls. vells and the like

bit OF lace bark, lf rolled into O thin
string, will all but resist human
strength to break 1t.
Despite Its practical use there Is no
essential demand for luce bark. 1t has
been used by the natives for hundreds
of years and yet is comparatively little
known to this day. A few specimens Of
lace bark articles exist in different
countries of Europe. These were made
hundreds of years ago, yet, although
their age is considerable. they are sail
to be in a good state of preservation

Richard /. when IN the Holy Land
amused himself with hawking OIL the
plain of Sharon and is said to have
presented some Of these birds to the
sultan. Later on, while passing through

he saw in one of the villages, and he re-
fused to- give 1t up. He was attacked
SO furlousiy by the justly incensed vii
lagers that it was With the utmost diff
tfcqlty that he managed to make his
escape.
King John used to send both to Ire
land and to Norway for his hawks We
nre told by Froissart that when Ed
ward III. invaded France he hiaad thlr,
ty falcons and every day either hunted
or Went to the river for the purpose Of
hawking. Henry VII. imported gos-
hawks from France, giving "a for q
single bird--a much greater sum In
those days than ut present. Henry
VIII. while hawking at Hitchin was

md the king was Immersed head first
INTO the mud and would have persisted
IN oil probability had not his falconer

Elizabeth and James I. were much
