FODDER I'm THE TREE TOPS.
Cattle In the Hawaiian Islands
Should Learn to Climb-The
C=rob Tree.

A cow cannot climb tree-undoubt-
ed fact in natural history. Yet if en-
vironment can effect what some be-
lieve it can, a few generations of cattle
in Hawaii are likely to evolve race of
scansorial kline, for the common fod-
der for cows and horses grows on
trees.
There are only two directions in the
islands of the Pacific, and everybody
uses the terms windward and leeward
as glibly as if bred aboard ship to use
sailors English In Hawaii these di
rections and distinctly marked. On
The windward side ofevery island, trop-
ical rains, growth of green things to
Jungle luXuriance; on the leewarG side,
drought rarely broken, scanty grasses
precariously existing in a sun-baked
soil, for most months of most years
sere and brown. But as not everyone
can live to the windward, and it seems
a pity to let 50 much leeward go to
waste which might otherwise be good,
the algarroba tree has been introduced
frCn TIE African aridities and has
made cattle ranching a successful pos
sibility On the cry lands.
Priests of the French mission were
the introducers, they having become
acquainted with its value in Algeria.
As it's name shows, it is the Carob tree
of the arabian Nights, the source of
most peoples knowledge of things
Arabic. The tree grows most luXuri-
antly in mcst Hawaiian soils, and bears
continuously the year around. This is
a matter OF particular Importance, for
it is the fruit which is of value. The
tree grows to the height attained by
large NAPLES, and branches luXuriant-
u so as to shade a considerable area,
and, as the leaves are both abundant
and large, there is formed protection
against the heat which stock appreci-
ate. The fruit is a large, feshy pod
filled with beans the size of horse
chestnut. 1t is upon the pods and
the beans that cattle feed. The fodder
is so satisfying that for long periods
cattle are fed en- nothing else and
reach market IN prime condition.-N.

DEMAND FOR AFRICAN HIDES
The skins of Many Rare A-in2aIs
Are Uscc! for y-1rioEs Par

IN Nashonaland and Central Africa
the trade in skins still flourishes,
though only the poorest of TIE Eoers
follow it, and they heye.to trek north
CT the LinlPopo. The hides Of the
arger bucks, such as Tie sable ante
loFe, the road antelope, the harte-
oeest or any of the zebras. arc worth
elght Or nine sAiH;ngs each, ard there
Is now something to he E-adc by sell
ng heads and horns as curiosities.
Leather made from the skins of these
tig antelopes is still in common use
II hl9h-ciass bootmalirg. No ere
knows exactly what animal nav rot
have supplied the uppers or solcs Of
his footgear, and the possibilities
range from the porpoise and the arctic
hair seal to the blesbcll and the Loo-
loo. Three other African animals
skins are il commercial demand for
curiously different purposes.
The giraffes. as everyone knows, are
killed so that their skins NAV be made
into sandals for natives and sjambalz
whips for colonists. In the Soudan
they are also killed for the sake of
their hides, which are made into
shields. Many OF the der9ish shields
captured during their attempt to in
wade Egypt under the E1nir Niumi
were made of this material. The ele-
phant and rhinoceros skins go to
Sheffield. There they are used to face
the wheels used in polishing steel
cutlery. No other material is equally
satisfactory and it woald be mcst Gif-
ficult to fEd substitute.
Tie rhinCcerCs skin used was for
merly that Of the white rhinoceros.
Now that this species is, extinct the
black rhinoceros cf Central Africa is
killed for the purpose. Much Of this
immensely thick skin. which is rot
tanned but used in he raw state. never
caves Africa. 1t is in great demand
fer making the round shields used by
the Arabs ard Abyssinians. \ Hack
rhinoceros' hide yields eight large
squares, each of which will make a
round shield two feet Il diameter. and
each of these squares. even in the Sou
Ian, is worth two dollars. The skin
when ecraped and polished is semi
transparent, like hard gelatin, AMI
takes high polish. Giraffe skin is
even more valued as material for
shields, as it is equally hard and light
ar. Thus, while the South African
giraffes are killed off @ supply whips,
hose of north Central Africa are
hunted to provide the lTchdi's Arabs
with shields.-London Spectator

HOLDING OF PHILIPPINES.
VIII More Than Double the Pacific
Coast Trade with the Orient
Within Five Years.

ID. h. Brown, general agent of the
Canadian Pacific Railway and Steam
ship npar sTea king of the growth n
OF trade between this country and
the orient, said;
ulC OlICn(' g1lQ'
The trade OF the last five years
should more than double in the next
five years. ewing IN the first place, to
the increased trans por tation facilities.
and. in the second place, TO the close
relations that will have to exist here
after between this country and the
orient, as the result of holding the
Philippine islands. We are perfectly
willing that the United States should
hold on to the Philippine islands, and
when once the matter is definitely set
tied and business again in full swing,
ii will not be long before the COM
merce of the Pacific will be as great
as that of the Atlantic, and especially
will this be the case when railroads
shall open up China to the commercial
and Industrial world and make this
northwest coast its landing place"

10000 Pounds for a Single Pearl.


The largest price ever asked and
aid for a single pearl was e e110,oC0,
which was the value of the great
Tavernier pearl. 1t was originally in
the possession of an Arabian mer-
chant, and NJ. Tavernier Travelled from
Paris t. Catifa with the express in
tention of purchasing the pearl.
Although he went prepared to pay any
sum between 1000 and 6 100000, he
concluded that he would be able to ob-
tain it for about 925,G0O. His first Of
fer was G 10000. but after the deal had
reEained open for few days this had
risen TO 6 G75000. Finally the transac-
ton was closed with 6 10000, and pearl
experts state that it is bargain at
that price. 1t is the largest and most
perfect gem Of its kind known, and the
luster is said to be unrivaled. 1t is eX-
actly two inches in length and oval
shaped.--Tit-Bits.
