fel:4 to get at what is beyond it that no
thought whatever is given to the insig-
• nificant cork; yet had it the gift of
speech of what wonderful -things it could
tell.
TITO BARIC AND ITS COST.
Every piece of cork which enters this
city has been brought all the way from
sunny Spain. In tho climate of no other
country will the cork tree, whence it all
comes, thrive as under the blue s=aes of
Spain. Large quantities aro shipped
every year from Madrid, Lisbon, and
ono or two other cities. one of the Chi-
cago houses alone using nearly 6,000
bales last year.
The entire bark is stripped from the
tree trunk, leaving it naked and bare,
but Dame Nature is kind, and soon a new
covering begins to appear, of which it is
again deprived by man, rapacious of gain.
Seldom is the bark of much more than
an inch in thickness, for the good reason
that it is usually taken off ere it has time
to grow thicker. However, the tree can-
not live and be robbed of its bark oftener
thutntonce in six years.
The bark is broken or cut into pieces
averaging a foot or more in length and
various widths, pressed out flat, and
packed in bales. These aro transported
to some seaport town, stowed away in
vessels, and carried to New York. The ,
average cost of a bale upon landing rune
from $$18 to $60 er $60, depending, of
course, upon the quality of the material.
Some of the bark isexceedingly porous,
with streaks and lies running through
it, which does not bring the price, natur-
ally, which is paid for that which: is en-
tirely free from blemish. The last men-
tioned is called "velvet cork," and used
early tri bottles filled with thafinest wines.
Such a self willed substance as cham-
pagne otherwise `night make its way
through the cork.
'Upon reaching the factory the bales
are unpacked, and piece by piece soaked
for a siIzort time --not more than ten or
twenty minutes—in a vat filled with
boiling water, after which, the cork is
softer and much easier to handle.
A cutter takes the pieces, places them
within reach of a rapidly revolving
wheel, with an edge so .sharp that it is
_ best to keep. ones fingers at a safe dis-
• tancc. The bark is cut by this wheel
into strips, the width of the diameter of
the required cork. The strips aro then
placed in, front of a cylindrical instru-
ment, which moves back and forth at
the will of the Inn nipulator, and punches
out the Corks, _nUch after the sante '
fashion that our grandmother's punched
out those good old fashioned cookies, •
which were the delightof our ohildhood.
The next machine with which tho cork
comes into closo contact is a most com-
plex one. A cap like receptacle is ex-
tended, the operative, in tho case spoken
of, a young girl, quickly places therein
the cork; it is withdrawn, held against
a horizontal, sharp and rapidly revolv-
ing wheel in such a manner that tho out-
side is pared off with that peculiar soft
erunehing sound that cork makes, leav-
in;; one end reduced in size and the
wholo cut in a utriform shape.
The waste material and finished corn
are then dropped by the machine into
receptacles placed to receive tlletu and
the cup extended for yet anotltrr cork.
The whole thing is done in the twink-
ling of an eye; almost before you see
the cork; in place it is trimmed, dropped,
and the nnachiue is ready for another.
'Pie operator sits in a law. seat beside
the machine, and lie she feeds it per-
forms with head and body a peculiar
weaving tnotiotn back and forth, al-
though rho herself ie evidently uncon-
scious of it..
