VANILLA BEANS ARE VALUABLE
(The Detroit Journal.)

Vanilla beans are $40 a pound at
wholesale. Silver is 1920 pound.
Troy weight. or avordupois about So.
Vanilla beans are, therefore, twice as
valuable, weight for weight, as silver
There is no vegetable product worth SC
much in the open market. The price.
SIG pound, is likely to be advanced
SO say buyers Of vanilla beans now in
Mexico, which country is the only one
where that rare vegetable grows to-
such perfection as to make 1t valuable
for extracts. There Is an inferior sort
of bean, called the vanillon and some
wild species OF the same, that are used
as substitutes or adulterants. These
varieties are dangerous to health, and
sometimes produce death.
There Is the same difference ia
varieties OF the so-called vanillon as
there is between mushrooms and toad
stools: the one Is healthful food-the
other quick poison. On account OF
the great cost of genuine vanilla, ice
cream men are much tempted to en-
plOy manufactured and artificial sub
stitutes. To come back to the crop Oi
vanilla beans. which grow best In Vera
Cruz and OaXaca, Mexico, there is not
a pound o. last years crop in the mar
ket. In 1894 there was a pest which
destroyed the crop that year. In 1895
the Indians got into trouble with this

plants. II takes four or FIVE years TO
get new plants TO the yielding point,
and hence for some years production
has been light. II nothing happens
there should be a crop OF some size
next year.

Questions III Law Arse from tbs

An interesting legal question u ia
VOWED In the salvage Of coal that has
been going on from the wreck Of the
Edward O'Brien. Il Is claimed that
the sumner title extends from Sum
nor island 10 a depth OF six feel Of
water In the channel.
The Edward O'Brien was wrecked o.
few feet beyond the Sumner property
Since then the wreckage has washed
within the limits of the Sumner title
as above claimed. In order to gather
the coal the natives. Japs and Chinese
have carried on the salvage upon the
property of Mr.. sumner,
This property had been leased to
Chinese for fishing purposes. These
have now broken the lease, claiming
that Mr. Sumner has not kept his part
of the contract in permitting such op-
erations to be carried on thereby scat
ing the fish away and lessening the
chances of making catches.
Today Mr.. Sumner will seek tue
protection of the law. He intends 10
press cases for trespassing upon his
property against those who have been
engaged In the salvage OF the coal, on
the grounds that his domain has been
invaded, causing him great loss.
Another matter has been brought up
in connection with the fated O'Brien
The coal has been taken indiscrimin-
ately by salvage workers despite the
fact that it was sold at auction to l.
A. Rostin. The latter has instituted
proceedings for the recovery Of the
coal. 1t will be heard before Judge
