There grows a tree in Chili from the bark of which a first-rate soap is procured, but owing to the recklessness of the Chilians in destroying the tree it is fast owKnpcaring from its natural habitat. It is asserted that for dressing wool or silk, chemical science has discovered nothing so good as the product of this tree. Baron Von Muller, the well-known Victorian botanist, affirms that the tree would thrive in Australia and New Zealand, There is an unlimited demand for the soap in England and Franco, and of course in such great wool producing colonies as New Zealand, Victoria, and New South Wales, it would also meet with a very ready sale.
