CONSUMPTION OF ALMoNps.
Twenty-one Million Pound. Eaten in the
 United states Each Year.

United States Each Year.
 There are. roughly speaking. 21000.- GOO pounds Of almonds consumed in the United States each year. some eaten with raisins. some Used in the manu- faeture Of candy. some ground for cream and HaYeriHs extracts. and some. of an inferiaf. quality. used for Berfumery and soap. The state Of Cal ifornia produces about 10000 900 pounds of almonds in year. or two thirds of the amount required for do- nestle consumption. and the other al- mOnds are imported from European countries, from which until a few years ago. all tae almonds were sent. The figures Of almond importations for the fiscal year IS9S show import 5tions ot about 100000 pounds Of this amount 4,500.o0o came from Spain, 100000 from Italy. chiefly Sicily. and the balance from Greece and Portugal Cocoanuts to the value of about S600.- 0oQ year are imported into the United States from foreign countries or from countries which were under foreign jurisdiction at the time of the last an nual treasury report Before the be- ginning of the Cuban war for inde- pendence the importation of cocoanuts from Cuba into the United States was to the value Of about s2o0.0o0 year. With the beginning of the war it de- clined, and under the present tarin the duty on eoeoanuts further reduced the importation from Cuba, though a large increase in the shipments Of eoeoanuts is expected this year under American jurisdiction in Cuba and Porto Rico. The competition of American with for eign eoeoanuts, the latter from the West Indies and South American states, has been more active than in the case of almonds. for the reason that the chief source of supply of American coeoanuts is Florida, which is in closer proximity to the New York market. The annual report of Florida eocoanuts amounts to about 100000 pounds, of the value of about S300,O00 year, and the conditions as to al monds and eoeoanuts are in this par ticular reversed. California produces just twice as many almonds as are i'm ported into the United States. whereas Florida produces just one-half as many cocoanuts as are imported.-Boston Transcript.

YneendlarY Microbes.

Under the above title w-iter. La Nature. of Paris, contributes an inter- esting article on spontaneous eombus- tion, showing that when stored hay. bales of cotton. tobacco. etc. take fire. the action is in the first place due to bacteria. In wet seasons such fires are most common and are due to storing the hay etc. in a damp state; fermen- tation follows, with great rise of tenn perature-a process due entirely to the action of microbes; the hay is chang to a dry. porous and earbonaceous condition, and it presently takes fire It will consume slowly. until accident brings the external air to it's help when the incandescent mass bursts into flame, and the microbes which caused the initial mischief are de- stroyed in a funeral pyre of their own making.

PET ANIMALS BECOME PESTS.
Horses. Cats. Pigs. Goats and Rabbits
 All Have Become Nu sanees.

Ordinary domestic animals under Ia Yorable conditions often become pests Some instances: In 1897 Nevada passed a law permitting the killing Of wild horses as nuisaRces. In Washington they are cut up to bait traps. Most Of the wild horses on the continent are descended from a few loosed bg Gortez in Mexico. In Australia hunters shoot wild horses. which eat grass needed by the sheep and cattle. Cats have made 9 home on Cat island, one Of the Ker- guelens, where they are so wild that 1t Is impossible to tame the. Their pro- geRItors= escaped from whaling vessels They were put ashore on Sable island. of Nova Scotia, to kill the rabbits that had become a pest. Now the rabbits are gone and the eats are worse. Pigs were put ashore on many islands, such as Bermuda. the Galapagos and is- lands along the southern coast, IS food for shipwrecked sailors. In every. case they have multiplied and become wild Capt. Cook put some ashore on New Zealand, where they are now shot as game. St Helena, a mountainous is land of small extent, 2.700 feet high, was heavily wooded at it's discovery To-day 1t is a rocky desert, owing to the introduction of goats by the Por- tuguese in 1513. When the goats ate of the underbrush rain washed away the soil and the big trees tumbled. Rabbits are the worst of all animal scourges in Australia and New Zea- land. They are poisoned, killed for their skins, for their meat: but still they multiply. Cats alone can kill them off: but then cats become a pest also. Since 1873 New Zealand has shipped more than POI. 900 GOO rabbit skins.-New York World.

kEYLEsS LOCK.
Is the Latest Innovation Proposed for
 pn.t .tnainn Rnras
Postoliee Boxes.

Postofiiee Boxes.
 Washington Times: There is more than s400. 900 Of the peoples money locked up fn postof1ce keys, each and every keyholder being required to put up with the postmaster a deposit for his key, the amount deposited being re- turned when the box is given up and rent paid. Postmasters are required to keep a strict account Of the key de- posit fund, while the postof1ce depart ment here has regular division set apart for keeping this account As a postal official puts t. there is a great deal of trouble and no money in the transactions. and the final outcome Of the trial Of the keyiess locks which are to be tried in the principal offices Of the country is eagerly looked for. The department has long wanted key less lock, but none of the lock inYen- tions until the present was regarded as in any way calculated to prove ac- ceptabIe. Contracts have been made for a supply Of the new locks. which will first be tried in New York. Bos- ton, Philadelphia, Chicago and St. Louis, as the largest and most impor- tant offices. and then in St Paul, Minn. Cleveland. Ohio, Hartford, Conn; Madison, Wis, and Rockford, Ill. These offices will be fitted out as soon as the factory can complete the mak ing of the boxes IT they prove in every way satisfactory to the department and to the patrons they will be placed in offices throughout the country, but not to the entire exclusion of the lock boxes. IL is the belief Of the pos1oHee department that the keyless box will prove a blessing.
