Bismarck and Caprivi.

PALM OIL MAKING.
How the Commercial Article Is Produced
the Gold Coast.

How the Commercial Article Is Produced
on the Gold Coast.
An interesting report comes from the
Government of the Gold Coast on the
palm oil industry of the West coast of
Africa. In cultivating the palm ripe
nuts are scattered over the ground, we'll
raked, and are then covered lightly
with earth. The planting takes place
in the rainy season. When the young
shoots have grown about a foot they
are carefully removed in the evening
and transplanted at least fifteen feet
apart. The tree grows luxuriantly and
bears most abundantly at height of
from ten feet to twelve feet in damp,
semi-marshy soil. The supply of nuts
fit for use is biennial, and the most
abundant supply of commercial oil is
obtained from the nuts during the
rainy season. The punches of nuts are
cut down and placed in a heap in the
air, where they remain for week or
ten days. The joints of the nuts are
thus weakened by decomposition and
they can be detached by simply beating
them against any substance.
When the nuts are collected those
with hard, unyielding pulp are placed
in hole about four feet deep, which is
lined with plantain leaves and with
palm leaves and earth. They are
allowed to remain for periods varying
between three weeks and three months,
until a certain decomposition has taken
place, so that when removed the pulp
is soft, and appears as if it had been
boiled. The nuts are now put In a
trough made by digging hole in the
ground and paving it with rough stones.
Here they are pounded with wooden
pestles until the pulp is quito removed
from the surface of the hard nut.
The whole is then removed from the
trough, put in heap, and the stones
taken out, leaving the oily fibrous pulp,
which is put into a pot with a small
quantity of water, under a good fire,
and well stirred until the oil begins to
melt out The pulp is then put into
rough net, opened at both ends, to
which are attached two or three short
sticks, by turning which in opposite
directions the oil is squeezed out The
longer the nuts are under ground the
thicker the OH and the worse the quail
ty. This alone accounts for the different

He sits at ease and smokes his pipe

And pansy gold and purple,

niger always takes TO the woods Us

not permissible, and when the police

coon got in wagon and rode to an open
place about three miles from our hotel.
We went to Il spot which left distance
of about a mile to the timber on every

of the party held a light while !, with
the alligator grasped firmly by the
waist, allowed the beast to see and
