WATTLE BARK

Wattle bark is used for tanning lea-

ther. The tree is any one of the vari-
ous acacias found in AustraHa,. Tas-
miinia and South Afrien.
ernl spleecies the Black Wattle of the
southwestern -part of Australia is the
most important, The wood is used for
tunner’s work and fuel, the bark is
very rich in tannin and its. gum _ is
very much like gum arabic used in
metlicine, One species, found in west-

ern Australia, is called the “raspberry |.

jam” wattle because of its raspberry
scented wood which is prized for mak-
ing charcoal: and fence-posts, Wattle
Tay is the name given to the day, Jan
uury 26, on which Sydney was founded
in 1783. It is kept-as an anniversary.

Fur some years the growers of wat-
tle lark in South Ameriea have been
ere:tly concerned about the futuze of
the industry. The increased’output of
poor quality bark is partly due to
any plantations being’ allowed by ne-
sleet ‘to’ degenerate into the. “jungle”
sinte, such plantations yielding at best
thin bark of low tannin content. Oth-

Of the sev:

saw

‘ler contributary causes are. the aban:

donment by many growers of the prac-
tice of protecting the bark from rain

and weather during the drying and

storage, and the harvesting of the bark

before it bas reached maturity. The

tse of bark for tanning is decreasing
and aniline and vegetable dyes and
tanning extracts are in greater demand

EXPLORERS & INVESTIGATORS

An English clergyman at the funer-

Edward Armstrong. the great research
scientist,-on-July 16 lost, spoke these
remarkable words regarding the men
