CORK TREES OF SPAIN.
How They Are Stripped Of Their Park
at Ten Year Intervals.

How They Are Stripped Of Their Fark
at Ten Year Intervals.
An important industry in Spain Is
the cultivation of cork trees. This tree
is an oak which grows best in the poor
est soil. 1t cannot endure frost and
must have sea air and also some alti-
tude. 1t is found all along the coast Of
Spain. the northern coast of Africa and
the northern shores of the Mediterra-
mean.
There are wv banks. the outer of
which is stripped for use. The cork is
valuable according as 1t is soft and
velvety. When the sapling has reach
ed the age of ten years it is stripped Of
its outer bark for two feet from the
ground. The tree will then be about
five inches in diameter and about six
is worthless. The inner bark appears
blood red. and if 1t Is split or injured
the tree dies.
When eight or ten years more have
elapsed the outer bark has again grown.
and then the tree is stripped four feet
from the roots. This stripping Is very
coarse and is used to make floats for
fish nets. Every ten years thereafter
the bark is stripped. each year two feet
higher up, until the tree is forty or
fifty years cd. when ii Is IN its prime,
and may then be stripped every ten
years from the ground to the branches.

Washington. July 10. The war to
date has cost France more than S1.143,'
100000 Of her foreign trade, according
to figures sent to the department OF
by United States Consul
General A. NJ. Thackara at Paris.
OF this vast amount over SSO0,0OO,-

months of the conflict, up to Jan. 1.
1915. In that period the republic also
was deprived of SOC, 1000 tons of wheat
grown on her own soil and seized by
the German armies occupying her
northern provinces. There was. too, a
decrease in that time OF G.162 in the
number of ships arriving at and 5,19d
in the number Of ships departing from
French ports.
In the first three months Of 1915 the
loss in Frances foreign trade was near

The United Kingdom suffered les:
