milky juice of this tree has the remark
able property of softenlng tough meats.
Under date of May 18th, 1895, Leigh H.
Irvine writes a letter to the Scientific
American, which that journal has lately
published. giving an experience in the
uee of the leaves and juice:
In company with Lieut.. John F..
Bowler, late of the ex-queen's dragons,
sought noble papaya grove along the
sandy beach Of the famous Waikiki
watering place. We gathered a bunch
of stems and leaves from lusty tree
which had grown from seed planted
only six months before. 1t was noble
specimen about twenty feet high, and
it's sevenlebed leaves were about two feet
in diameter. At so young an age the
luscious yellow melon-like fruit hung in
golden clusters from the trees long and
crooked branches. Before we expressed
the juice of the leaves and stems we sat
beneath the inviting shade and each act
one of the melons, which were delicious
and not unlike cantelopes in appearance
and consistency, though there was little
similarity in taste. The fruit has
peachy flavor and is said to;be fine rem
edy for dyspepsia.
We readily secured about two ounces
of the acrid, milky juice from our har
vest. Taking it home, we put few
drops into kettle Of boiling water with
a very tough fowl which had been gath
cred in for the experiment. 1t had been
boiling for oyer an hour without becom-
ing tender. The result of the papaya
j. lce was magical. The papain, or
active principle of it, dissolved the
tissues at once and made the meat
tender and palatable. A piece of very
tough beefsteak was then wrapped in
the leaves over night, and it was a
tender morsel for breakfast. The
natives here say the same results are
obtained by hanging the meat in the
tree am ong the saponaceous leaves. The
juice differs from animal
pepsin. in that it's proteolytic action is
not arrested or even delayed in neutral
or alkaline solutions, as is the case with
so many substances that enter the stom-
ach. Its active principle is technically
known as papayin, papayotin, or caracin
and there is no doubt that the Hawaii
ans have long known its value.

Orange Fertilizer Experiments.

made this season by A. M. Denig, of
this city, the result of which deserves
the attention of orchardsts. Believing
that the application of a non-soluble fer
tilizer like bone meal was oflittle value
when thrown broadcast or merely Gull
tivated under where it could be dis
turbedoby every subsequent stirring of
the ground, he took regular pillow and
running 1T first across and then back IN
each land between the rows, thus throw
ing the dirt each way from the ,center,
he then ran the pillow deeply in the bot
tom of the first furrow. This left fur
row of perhaps from ten to fifteen inches
in depth. Here he sowed a quantity of
coarse bone meal. The earth was then
thrown back with the pillow and the
land smoothed with the cultivator. The
plow had cut off innumerable roots of
the orange trees, with which the soil
was filed. The trees have done remark
ably well since, looking healthy and
thriving. He has recently taken pains
to dig down and examine the condition of
the bone-meal thus applied, and the re-
suit is almost astonishing, considering
that only about six months have elapsed
since the work was done. From the
broken ends of the roots mailer roots
had run directly about the plant food
which the bone contained, and whenever
there was quantity of the bone par
ticles there was a sponge like mat of
tiny roots attached, and completely
surrounding and penetrating them to-
gether the nutriment the trees needs
demanded. Mr.. Denlg left with us one
such mass of roots, embedded in which
were fragments OF the bone, and another
from which he had washed the bones
that we might see that they were not
bits of gravel. Where particles of sheep
manure were found the root flaments
had penetrated them in every direction.
Tt is his conclusion and the opinion seems
based upon common sense as well as the
evidence of these Investigations, that we
make mistake in not applying fertile
zers deeper. When they are soluble of
course the rain, or irrigation water will
carry the desirable elements to the roots |
provided careless irrigation does not
wash them all from the orchard where |
applied. Such portion as remains above |
the point reached by the cultiyator
teeth must be so frequently disturbed as
to make it impossible for roots to grow
which can obtain the full value of the
fertilizer. 1t is Mr.. Denlg's belief that
the cutting of the terminal roots ten or
more feet from the tree benefit, since
all that grow farther than that infringe
upon the territory of the next tree, and
that at such point the new roots will
form upon which the tree mainly de-
ponds. He thinks that by applying fer
Gillzer from ten to fourteen inches under
the ground we shall have it where it will
be of permanent value, and shall educate
the tree into sending it's roots deep, and
where cultivation is necessary to provide
the conditions required to retain the
moisture will never interfere with the
performance Of the functions nature re-
Qu.res of them. We were so struck
with the force of the argument for the
deeper application of fertilizer, - the

THE CAMPAIGN IN CUBA.

The Cuban chief has beaten Spain's greatest
general So much is made clear by the news
from the 'ever-faithful isle" General Campos
recently took the field in person against the
rebels. He had ten men 10 their one. besides
vast superiority in equipment and supplies. He
planned shrewd strategy, by which he meant
either to capture the whole insurgent army,
or 10 drive ii into the swamps Of the Zapata
Peninsula, where it could easily be kept harm
less. He has now been forced 10 retreat, 10
fortify his camps against attack. and to impress
into his service, for enforced military duty, all
the citizens he can get hold of. He has been
outgenerallcd. outmanoeuvred. outfanked and
beaten in every engagement in the campaign.
General Gomez has broken through his lines and
menaced the rear Of his army. and marched all
around him. AT present General CampOs seems
to be standing at bay. fearfully awaiting an al
tack. ana wondering whether the next blow Will
fall upon him or upon Matanzas or Havana.
Not long ago he was planning TO put a line Of
soldiers clear across the island and march them
eastward sweeping the rebels into the sea at
Cape Maysi. Now he is hoping the rebels will
not march westward in Ike manner and drive
him into the sea at Cape San Antonio.
The war has been in progress less than year.
General Campos has 100000 veteran troops at
his command, with a nation Of 17,000O00 at his
back The rebel army numbers about 10000,
with abou; half a million to draw upon. The
total population OF Cuba is only 1GO0,0O0. half
being in garrisoned cities under Spanish guard,
and not more than one-third Of the population
can be reckoned as actively in revolt. The Span

Street Cleaning Commissioner Waring cannot
complain thar he has not been fairly treated by
the Board of Estimate, even though he failed to
obtain the full amount which he deemed neces-
sary for carrying on the work of his department
He has received the largest sum ever allowed for
cleaning the streets in the history of the city.
The total is S3,020,715: about S1G6,OO0 less than
the Commissioner asked for The principal cut
was in the allowance for final disposition
which Mayor Strong believes should be done by
contract for less than it now costs. Colonel
Warng can have no valid excuse for coming
beforetthe Board next year with the plea that
Il is necdful for him TO have more money TO keep
the streets in proper condition. Controller Fitch
is entitled TO special credit for his willingness to
give the Street Cleaning Department as large
an appropriation as the other members of the
Board considered necessary.
