London mulberry trees are mainly derived from q fad of James l., who wanted to found a silk growing industry. With the proverbial folly Of a pedant. the British Solomon intro duced the black mulberry, disiized by siIkworns, instead of the white Fari- ety, which forms their food. Tho black mulberry had been planted by Gardi- nal Pole at Lambeth in 1853. and there were still older specimens in the gar den of Syon House.

There is a law in the Turkish enn- pire prohibiting the ,exportat tion of rel ics and antiques more than 100 years old. and the fact that it is on the stat ute books gives rise to the common practice of offering spurious articles to the tourist Real objects of art or of sufficient age to be of value are rarely to be purchased, and the general desire of the visitor. therefore. seems to be to obtain stones or pieces of clay from the sites of ancient ruins or bricks with inscriptions. The former can probably be obtained. but they are practically valueless. as one piece of clay from Babylon is quite like anoth- CT from MusoI Bricks from either of these places that are known to be gen uine are unobtainable.
