In the next room he discovered another

He ordered that Sin future these men

him that he could not run a locomotive

Manila hemp is the fiber of spe-
cies OF banana tmusa textilis) which
thrives only in certain localities,
| where 1t is cultivated by the natives
The fiber is still produced in the old
native way by scraping the leaves with
a peculiar knife. which requires expert
handling. Numberless contrivances to
supercede this simple process have
been tried and patented. but without
success. The native way is still the
best. and it produces fine fiber from
which thread is spun and cloth woven
that excels the best 1ussore silk.
