THE oocoANur PALM.



Tho cocoanut palm Is indigenous to the
tropical countries. Its branohless trunk
grows TO a height of from 60 to 30 feet,
and bears at its summit "a crown OF pin
nate leaves that are from q 20 20 feet in
length It is essentially littoral, and
cloves to bend over the rolling surf and to
drop its fruit into the tidal wave" "
Tho thick husk and the hard shell OF
the cocoanut are we'll adapted to preserve
its terminating power while 1t is being
carried by the winds and the waves to
some distant shore. Hence The cocoanut
palm waves its graceful fronds over the
emerald islands of the Pacific, fringos the
West Indian shores, and from the Philip
pines to Madagascar, crowns the atolls or
girds the seaboard of the Indian ocean. "
1t isa beautiful tree and "a joy forever "
because it yields large variety of useful
products To the inhabitants of tropical
countries the cocoanut is an important
article of food 1t is eaten both ripe and
unripe, the young, unripe nut containing
a milky fluid that is very palatable. When
fully matured, the nut yields a fixed OIL
which is used for culinary purposes, in
lamps and for manufacturing stcarin can
dies and marine soap. BY compression
in the cold, the oil is separated into "a
| liquid called "oleine" and o more solid
part called "cocosine" The hard shell of
the nut is fashioned into cups, ladies,
spoons, beads, bottles, knife handles, etc,
and is often beautifully polished and elab-
orately carved.
The terminal bud, or "palm cabbage, f"
is an excellent vegetable when cooked
| Indeed, it is considered a delicacy, but it
| is seldom used because its removal neces-
| sarily causes the death of the tree From
| the trunk Of this wonderful palm is OBJ
/ tained a saccharine sap called "toddy, -
which is esteemed a pleasant, refreshing
| drink The dried palm leaves serve Tor
] thatchiug houses, for making mats and
| baskets, and for cattle fodder
Coir is the most important flbrous prod
uct of the tree. 1t is the fiber or husk of
| the immature nut. 1t is prepared for use
/ by being soaked several months in water,
and then beaten until the 1bcrs have en-.
tircly separated. Coir is a valuable ma
/ terial for ropes, brushes, carpets, mats.
beds, cushions and nets. 1t is excellent
| for cables because it combines elasticity,
] Hghtness and strength. The long foot
stalks of the fronds are used for fences
yokcs and fishing rods.
After the tree ceases to bear fruit is cut
down and its wood is used for many pur
poses. 1t is a reddish wood, is beautifully
veincd, admits of high polish, and is i'm,
ported for ornamental joinory under the
name of "porcupine wood" " 1t is said
that no other tree and no other plant con
tributes in so many ways to the wants
and the comforts of man as does this 'treC

HOW THE STEAL WAS STOPPED.

The Evening Post calls for an explana-
ton of the dlckcring with the Union Pa
clIic sale. 1t says:
We are aware that the Union Pacific
Government directors aud the officials of
two Administrations had advised accept
ing the syndicatc's offer as the best OBJ
tainabc. but it now appears that it was
not the best obtainablc by 5000, 900. This
we say, ought TO be explained Such
transactions unexplained do more to pro-
mote Organism and Socialism than all
the books and speeches together.
The explanation is perfectly simple.
There was scheme to rob the Govern
ment Of Ss.OOO.OOO on this main line and of
Sl300O.0OO IN the Kansas Pacific division.
The Government directors lent their
countenance to the plan and two admin
istratiOns assented to it.
Then The World turned the search
light of PU BLICITY on the steal and
revealed its true character. Instantly the
Government was forced TO defend the
Treasury against the robbers, and the
robbers at once made haste give up their
100000 of loot lest they lose the enor-
nous profits incident to the purchase of
the road.
But how about the Kansas Pacific steal
OF si3,OD,0o0; What steDs is the Admin
istration taking to stop thatb What is IL
doing to compel the syndicate to advance
that part of its bid to a figure that will
cover the whole of the Government claim
Or is 1t disposed to all ow that part of the
lootlng?
Stop the WHOLE steal!
N, " World,
