YIELD OF THE PACIFIC.
Everything From Wheat to Pepper
and Things Found Nowhere Else,

ana In1nE9 FOun0 nowhere Else.
From Anslee's Magazine.
Considered from the point Of view Of
what grows in them-which is, after all,
the point of view of most people of today
the islands of the Pacific present every
thing from the wheat Of Argentina to the
pepper of Guiana. and host Of things found
neither in the tropics of South America, nor
in the hot heart of Africa, nor elsewhere,
save within their own abnormal spheres
Beginning with the wheat and live stock
and the ordinary edibIes and utilities
grown in Australia, Tasmania and New
Zealand, there Is a rapid multiplication of
strange and unusual products as the zone
OF output moves north and west. The Dutch
East Indies are like the northern regions of
South America, putting forth the best COT
fees from Java that the coffee world af-
fords. the nutmeg which fiavors mems milk
punches and women's baked apples. the
camphor that cures wives headaches, the
pepper that Supplies taste to the far-gone
palate, the ginger that brings tears to the
eyes Of the small boy and balm to his suf-
fering midrin. From the same regions
comes also theIyaluRble teak to calk ships
and upon which much of the future mer-
chant marine of the South Pacific is likely
to depend. From Java and Sumatra, I'D to
the Philippines and cFormosa, is the chief
source of the worlds supply Of straw for
hats. Of ropes wherewith criminals are
stead of carpets. g,i
Eastward from the coast is the home of
the cocoanut and pineapple, and the bread
fruit, which does not endure exporting, to
say nothing Of tina universal banana. Along
the shores of the farther islands the ma
tives and the Chinese, who from time i'm
memorial have been invaders. gather pearl
shells and the long, Shiny snails, called
beche-de-mer. one Of the most popular
courses on Timetables of the weIl-to-do in
China. In choice spots among all the is
lands. spots becoming constantly less dis
coverable. the oriental food hunters find the
delicate birds nest, for which mandarins
and financial potentates Of the Monaghan
kingdom pay $3.50 per pound that their
cooks may make them soups from It, There
are mineral. metal and timber resources as
yet little more exploited than those in the
Philippines. There are possibilities of agri-
cultural cultivation, which have not been
sounded save In the southern islands, where
John Bull has put the aborigine beneath
his solid foot and yentured to transform the
sem4-tropic regions Into the likeness of his
home country. Tobacco is growing richly
in most of the larger islands, and cotton
has been tried with such success that the
South Sea Island product Is a considerable
factor In the cotton market price lists
Some sanguine prophets look to a time
when this cotton crop Of the Pacific will he
a serious competitor with the southern
states
