CULTURE OF THE COCA.
Market Demand Has Made Growing 1t
Profitable

''Tho coca plant is being cultivated
on large scale in Peru and elsewhere
in tropical America nowadays" said q
chemist to q representative OF the Wash
ington Star the other day. f'Within the
last few years the demand for the leaves
ros increased enormously and large farms
are devoted to the business of growing
them. The alkaloid cocaine obtained
from them has become steadily cheaper,
until now the commercial product is
quoted at about one-twentieth of the
price asked for it q dozen years ago. At
That time apothecaries kept the stuff, in
their safes, because it was so precious.
Cocoa plants are propagated from seed
IN nurseries, to be set out later in the
ilelds, They begin to yield regular crops
~ the age OF eighteen months, and con-
tinue to be productive for half q CEN
tury. The ripe leaves are carefully picked
by hand, so as not to lnJure the young
buds. They are dried thoroughly in the
suh and finally are kept in bags of from
twenty five to $50 pounds. The leaves
are about the same size and shape as
tea leaves, two inches or more III length,
o5long and and pointed. They have an
agreeable odor rather like that of tea
leaves and peculiar taste A decoction
made from them is bitter and astringent.
MOST OF the coca leaves are sent to
Germany where the alkaloid cocaine is
made from them. IL is put up Tor sale
usually in the form of crystals, which
are white and look somewhat like granu-
lated sugar The alkaloid Is the active
principle of the coca, for the sake of
aich certain South American natives
have for many centuries chewed the
l,aves Of the plant. 1t has a gently ex-
citant eli ct, rendering person indIs-
posed to sleop Administered to frogs by
hypodermic injection, it produces symp-
toms resembling those of tetanus or lock-
jaw. A big dose kills rabbits and dogs
~ suffocation, paralyzing tho respiratory
centers.
HThe coca fend has already become
known to some extent in the United
States. No habit is moro dangerous than
the cocaine habit 1t may be acquired
evenly putting drops of the solution in
the eyes. Ply sicians now employ CO.
caine in the treatment of many com
plants. and it often happens that the
duces feeling of intense joyousness, ac-
companied by visions and phantasmagor-
ia brilliant in form and color. The habit
steadily grows, and the inveterate con-
sumner may be recognized by an uncer-
tainty of step, apathy of manner, sunken
eyes, green and cursted teeth, fetid
breath, and a blackness about the corners
of the mouth.
"The article known commercially as
coca wine is sometimes made by mac
Grating the leaves of the plant in ordi-
nary wine from grapes Usually, how
ever, fluid extract of coca is employed,
mixed with wine in the proportion of
plat of the former to gallon of the lat

STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST.

The portable saw mill owned by Eel
lows q Son of Suncook, but located in
the York woods, was destroyed by fire
Wednesday together with the engine,
boiler and saw rigging. The exact loss
cannot be ascertained, but it is not far
form $1,000, partially covered by insur-
ance. some %. 600 feet of lumber just
flames, also planning machine and an
edger. The mill will be rebuilt at once.

the ten years just past. The water com.
pany pays an annual tax OF $500, just
about half what the city pays for water. +"
The Bar Earbor Water Company has
decided to abandon further work on its
Improvements this winter, and work has
been stopped. The Italian laborers de-
parted on Saturday for Boston. Con
tractor CushInan has almost finished
work on the dam at Eagle lake, and has
laid about mile of pipe on the Hull S
Cove extension. He will return early
next spring, or as soon as the weather
will permit, and finish the contract.
About five miles above Fort Kent is a
marrow place in the St. John known as
the Winding Lodges. From this point to
the mouth of the St. Francis there is an
immense ice jam, caused by the sudden
riss of the river after the ice had formed
along its shores. Large quantities of
lumber which had been hung up since
spring and which the owners had begun
to drive to their mills at St. Francis, are
in the jam.
Work on the new boiler house at the
Indian Spring wooden mill, Madison, is
being pushed forward as rapidly as pos
sible The new 100 horse power boiler
has been placed in position, and the en-
larged boiler house will make large
addition to the mill.
The representatives of the Waldo Fish
and Game Protective Association finished
the stripping of fish in Swan Lake for

1875 men and $50 horses. 1t is doubtful if
there is another town in the State no
larger than Guilford that can make SO
