spent several years in India, was sur
prised TO hear what really useful plant
it is
"The plant" said his friend, "and
many of It's virtues have been known in
India for centuries, but il Is a fact, new
ertheless, that the first of this oil was
exported to Europe from the West Indies
near the end of the eighteenth century,
In India the oil is much used as an il
luminaut If the oil has been cold
drawn, ana has been carefully and
properly separated, there is none better,
Another thing in its favor is that, owing
to its slow combustion, saving of one
quarter TO one-half is made by using
1t, as compared with other oils. 1t
makes an excellent lubricant and is
much used in the dressing OF tanned
hides ana skins. The natives use it
largely for preserving their water buck
cts, and without it the 'beeste wallah,'
or water carrier, would have to renew his
leather bak or bucket, in which he car
ries the water around, much oftener
than he does now.
The 'syce,' or groom, uses il to keep
the 'sahibs' harness in good order. and
valuable attribute Of the oil is, espe-
cially in such a climate as India, that
it repels rats and Vermin. In Assam
the plant is widely cultivated as a food
for the silkworm. The stalks, which
have an excellent pulp, are used for
matching purposes The oil cake is

used as "A manure. In Jeypore, the pal
ace, public offices and streets are lighted
with gas made from a cheap variety of
castor oil, grown for that purpose. The
natives use the leaves as fodder for their
cattle, declaring that it increases the
yield of milk. one thing they have not
yet succeeded in doing in India, and
that is to produce a marketable medi-
cinal oil, This is chiefly made in France,
Belgium and England from the imported
seeds, Bombay doing a large export
trade in this industry"

Conklin From Death.
The most critical experience Of Animal

when he was travelling through Idaho.
The snow was in "a little town called
Haley and the morning procession was
just over when the six ton elephant
Samson burst b.. chains by which he
had been staEo4 ana made % rush for the
Keeper. Al the time Cuuidiu was inside
the lions cage, where Ae had been rid
ing I'M the procession, for hD is not only
one or the most experienced elephant
trainers IN thr world, but he is a tanner
uf tigers and lions as We'll. As he saw
the elephant rush al the cage he re-
allied that he Was going 10 have close
call TOR his lite IIy great good luck he
managed 10 undo The bars ana get out
before HE shock came but Samson was
after him WITH trunk waving and with
shrleks of rage. Coukliu lodged behind
another cage OF animals which Samson
hutted over as II II We're a child's card

a large elephant, When MS rage is up,

Conklin soon found this out TO his cost.

Sapson had been clothed for the parade

 The HERALD has labored for the success of the democracy of the county and territory, and we sug- gest that instead of stabbing one an other, we join hands and try and harmonize, put our shoulder to the wheel and work in the interest of the party.
