Were alleged to have sold eggs falsely labelled as of Irish origin. ' Egg. experts let the court into some of the secret nationality to which eggs gave allegi- ance. For some unfortunate reason bad eggs cannot be identified as to their country of origin. In other res- pects they are too easily "identified." George Michael Hyams, of Liver-I poo'l, egg expert, said the eggs in. question were Russian, and between: four and five weeks old. Mr. Riley (for the defence): Do you believe you can distinguish not only between Russian and Irish. but be-, tween Russian, Irish, Dutch and‘ Danish eggs?â€"Yes. . 4 ' Counsel handed a number of eggs, to the witness, who described them as ' "foreign," "lrish," “bad altogether,” etc. .John George Parkinson, produce!I merchant, of Liverpool, was’of opin- ion that the 'eggs came from'the south . Russia. The shell of a Russian egg} Was harder than that of eggs from: i any other country, and the appearance was smooth and glossy. Eighty-five per cent. of the Russian About 90 per cent. of Irish eggs which ar- rived in England were unfertile, but though he kept the eggs in a tempera- ture of 70 degrees for fourteen days, there were no signs of incubation. . Neither did they burst or go rotten. The shell of a Russian egg was thick- | or and harder than that of an IrishJ egg, and that was why it would keep longer. For the defence Bartholomew‘ Con- don, an Irish egg exporter, said that during last year he had supplied the defendants with a million eggs. In 'his opinion the nationality of an egg could not be told. The defendants' shopman' denied that there was any label, "New laid best Irish” displayed on the day in 'question, or that he had ever sold foreign eggs as Irish. The Bench in the end dismissed the case. $250,000,000 INDUSTRY ; The Great Rubber Enterprises of Cey- lon and Malaya At the present time it is estimated that the vast rubber industries in Cey- lon, Malaya, and other places in the “East are responsible for the employ- . lfing the free railway-pass system in . we ment of $250,000,000 capital, and this: vast industry. owes its conception to. the enterprise of'one manâ€"i. e., Mr. H. A. Wickham, who, on behalf of what is known as the Middle Eastern rubber industry, was recently present- ed with a cheque for a thousand pounds and a certificate for an an~ unity on account of the great services he has rendered in this particular field of commerce. It was Mr. Wickham who, in 1876, brought from Brazil to Kew Gardens the seeds from which have sprung the vast rubber forests of the East. He was commissioned by the India Office ways of telling thei l and with their primitive stone and bone implements. Some of their dug- outs are of enormous A size, hewed from single trunks, and with lines so perfect that civilized men can scarce- ly suggest improvement. The mak- ing of a canoe of moderate size.'by the crude means at the Indians’ com- mand in the early days. required several months of hard labor with flint adzes that chipped away pieces of wood not much larger than grains of sawdust. The Indians of the region where western red cedar abounded gener. ally chose it for such carpentry as they were capable of doing. Their choice was due to the softness of the wood, which meant a great deal to‘ beams and doors with no better'tools than fire, flnt, bone and shell. They made fully as much use of the bark as of the wood. With it they roofed, celled; floored, and papered their huts. They wove long strips of bark -â€"sometimes thirty feet in lengthâ€" into mats, which they used for beds, tables, blankets. and on ceremonial IOOCasions. They: made clothing of the same material. They twisted the bark into ropes for dog harness, la‘d- ders, iishlines and snares for wild animals and nets for catching fish. The list of uses for the bark didnct 'end there. for they were able to make food of it. They beat the bark to a pulp, baked in cakes, and after completely saturating'it with salmon on they pronounced it a palatable and nutritious article of diet. It is believed, however, that the food value of the cakes was derived more from the fish oil than from the bark.

He went to the Topagos Plateau on the Amazon, 9. remote locality, seized the opportunity of chartering n steamer which happened to be there, hastily collected. with the aid of the Indians, his baskets of seeds from the deep forests, and got them to the coast. As the Brazilian Government would have confiscated the seeds,. Mr. Wickham was obliged to smuggle them aboardâ€"70,000 seeds being packed in a few crates. . . The seeds would not survive the journey direct to Ceylon, so they were- taken first to London. They arrived at Kew Gardens during the night, and were planted out at once. They were too perishable to risk delay until the morning. Seven thousand rubber ' . » ‘ ' plants grew from the seeds, andi1,700. of these were sent in miniature hotâ€" houses to Ceylon.
