A Mine OF Palm OIL.

According to the Colonies and India
that portion of the west coast of Africa
which lies south of the river Volta furn-
ishes the principal supplies of palm oil.
Nearly 1000, 600 cwt. of this oil are an
nually exported to Great Britain. of the
value of 81, 500, 900. its principal use be-
ing in the manufacture of soaps, per-
fumery, candles and similar articles.
Among the natives it is highly valued,
both for food (taking the place ofbutter),
for lighting and cooking purposes and for
amounting the head and body. The So
called oil, which is rather fatty sub
stance resembling butter in appearance,
is obtained from the several species Of
palm, but especially from the one known
botanically as "Elais guineeniss," which
grows in abundance on the western coast
of Africa, and from which it takes its
pecific name.
So thickly do these trees grow, and so
regular and rapid are their supplies of
fruit, that in some localities where the
regular collection of the produce is not
practiced, the ground becomes covered
with a thick deposit OF the oily, fatty
matter produced by the ripe berries.
Deposits of palm oil which NAV also be
called "mines" of vegetable fat, exists
in some parts of the gold coast. and
which, if not in themselves worth work.
ing, at least practically illustrate the
natural wealth of the country in such
productions, and indicate its undevei-
oped resources. These "mines would
probably not repay the cost of explora-
ton. as the palm oil is apt to become
rancid and valueless for its general uses
after long exposure, though for such
purposes as candle-making these de-
posits might still be valuable.

A Singular Monstrosity.

Doctor Philip Leidy, of this city, has
presented to the Wistar and Horner
museum Of the University of Pennsyl-
vania n rare and valuable contribution
to medical science. 1t is monstrosity
in the shape of two perfectly develop ed
children, joined together from the
shoulders to the hips, and kr ~ in
medical literature as oniph gagns
CASTRO horaco didymss. meaning COM
bination of the anatomical parts con-
nected, in the light of which the
Siamese twins are cast far into the
shade. The twins, II they may be
called such, are females, weighing four
teen pounds, and were still-born, hay
ing been removed by the Cpsarian
operation, the mother surviving twenty
two hours. Doctor Leidy says there is
no record In American medical Lit ra-
ture of such another case, and 1t is
claimed that there is but one case of
the kind ever reported, that mentioned
by Doctor Voorman, German physi-
clan, in an exhaustive treatise ON
monstrosities. There are five different
species of this form of monstrosity. of
Ahich the above is regarded as the
browning specimen, the one of most
rare occurrence. The Siamese twins be-
longed to one of the series. First, ac-
cording to medical men, two bodies
may be Joined at the thorax; next at
the sternum; next at the Uphold car

A Mexican Hacienda.

A long train of Mexican carts, such
as do much of the general freight busi-
ness OF Mexico, wended its way into the
city yesterday and stopped on CONNER
cial street. The carts were drawn by
fine-conditioned mules and were laden
with beans. The beans were produced
on the Hiacenda del Rosario, at Parras,
Mexico, distant from San Antonio four
hundred and fifty miles. The freight
was consigned to the wholesale grocery
house of Hugo & Smeltzer, and consisted
ofone hundred and fifteen sacks of beans,
in weight aggregating thirty thousand
pounds. They were raised on the naci-
enda above named by Madero & Co.,
whose enterprise is unexcelled in all
Northern Mexico. The land under cul-
tivation in the hacienda embraces eigh-
teen square miles, all of which is sub
iect to irrigation. Madero & Co. SOW
annually three Thousand bushels of
wheat and plant four hundred and fifty
bushels of corn. The past year they
of grapes, and manufactured two thou
sand barrels of wine, besides a large
quantity of brandy. The population Of
the hacienda, which includes workmen
and their families, is nearly twenty-five
hundred. Three hundred men are con-
stantly employed on the farming sec
tion Of the hacienda, while four hundred
persons are kept busy in large cotton
goods manufactory. Most Of the cotton
used at the mill is produced in lake
country seventy-five miles to the north
east of the hacienda. In this section the
plant grows, producing each year, for
from three to seven years. 1t attains an
immense size. The past season, how
ever, the cotton crop YVES a failure, and
the enterprising manufacturers have
