CORK TREE BARK.
n Carefully Removed New Supply

n Carefully Removed New Supply
Grows In Few Years.
AS most people know, cork is the
outer bark of an oak. This tree, known
to the botanists as Quercus suber, is
an evergreen, native to the Mediter-
ranean region. and Is cultivated in
France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Moroc-
co. Tunis and Algiers. If carefully
done removing the bark does not in.
jure the tree. and II new supply may
be obtained from the same specimen
after few years.
We are so familiar with the use Of
cork for the shoppers of bottles that
we seldom realize its manifold other
uses, though its connection with bot
ties dates back only about 500 years
We so commonly speak of the stopper
OF bottle as q cork that we see no
ineongruity In the expression "a rub
Der cork"
Just as our word for stopper has
been derived from the word cork, so
cork itself has probably been derived
from the Spanish corcho, which in
turn Is derived from the Latin cortex,
meaning rind Some authors, however.
would derive cork from quercus, the
generic name Of ull oaks
Cork is present In the bark OF all
trees, though in quantities too small to
make 1t useful In the many ways in
which cork from the cork oak Is en-
ployed. The cork barked elm, the
sweet gum and few others have
strongly developed cork.
