They Have Been Introduced in Catifor-
 nia After Many Trials.
 The larger part of our fig supply comes from Asia Minor, the Spanish peninsula and the south Of France. Those of Asiatic Turkey are considered the best Certain insects of the genera blastophaga and sycophaga which fre- auent the wild fig enter the minute ori- fee of the receptacle, apparently to de- posit their eggs, conveying thus the pollen more completely to the stigmas. thus insuring the fertilization and con- sequent ripening of the fruit. By some the nature of the process has been questioned and the better maturation of the fruit attributed merely to the stimulus given by the puncture of the insect, as in the case of the apple, but the arrangement of the uniseXual fow- CTS in the figs renders the first theory most probable. 4 year ago the depart ment of agriculture began a series of experiments on the introduction of the insect which fertilizes the Smyrna fig; an agent was sent to Europe to obtain cuttings of all varieties of the wild fig and to send over the fruit containing the live insect. By good fortune some of the insects succeeded in penetrating .ne closed flowers of the Capri figs and laid their eggs and really established themselves in California. It is now be- iieved that the insects will continue to breed and that in the near future a fig will be placed upon the market which possesses the same superior flavor as that which has given the imported Smyrna fig it's present popularity.

CONSUMPTION OF ALMONDS.
Twenty-one Million Pounds Eaten In the
 United states Eaen Year.

There are, roughly speaking, 21, ,000,- 900 pounds of almonds consumed in the United States each year, some eaten with raisins, some used i1 the manu- faetafe of candy some ground for cream and havoring extracts. and some, of an inferior quality, used for perfumery and soap. The state of Cal- ifernia produces about 14000 GOO pounds of almonds in year, or two- thirds of the amount required for do- nestle consumption. and the other all monds are imported from European countries, from which, until a few years ago, all the almonds were sent. The figures of almond importations for the fiscal year 1898 show importations of about 100000 pounds. Of this amount 4,500,000 came from Spain, 100000 from Italy, chiefly Sicily, and the balance from Greece and Portugal. Cocoanuts to the value of about S600, 900 year are imported into the Ullitd States from foreign countries 3r from countries which were under foreign Jurisdiction at the time Of the fast an hGs.I treasury report. Before the be- ginning of the Cuban war for inde. pendenee the importation of eocoanuts from Cuba into the United States was to the value of about S200,000 year. WitE the beginning of the war it de- clined, and under the present tariff the duty on eocoanuts further reduced the importation from Cuba, though large increase in the shipments of cocoanuts Is expected this year under American jurisdiction in Cuba and Porto Rico The competition of American with for eign cocoanuts, 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 cocoanuts is Florida, which is in closer proximity to the New York market The annual report of Florida cocoanuts amounts to about 1000, ,000 pounds, of the value of about $500, 900 year, and the conditions as to al- monds and eoeoanGts are in this par ticular reversed California produces | just twice as many almonds as are im~ ported into the United States, whereas Florida produces just one-half as many cocoanuts as are mported.-Beston Transcript.

Interesting Belgium.

Belgium is the most confused little nationality on earth. In the great cit ies the population is made of inextrica- ble mixtures of Flemish races and the Walloons, pure Bremen and Germans. Add to this broad splashes of the Span- ish blood that came in with the princes of the last century and you have a curious conglomerate man-the brave little Belgian.

 City nafI

1 It Is tn the Tower ef the Philadelphia
 City Hau
 A novel diversion is about to Dc in- stitutea at the Philadelphia city hall ] Within a few weeks this noble pile, already distinguished as being the highest municipal building in the world. will contain. according to the Press, the highest continuous stair way in the world, and tourists who have hitherto boasted of their mus eular ability in climbing the stone steps of the Bunker Hill monument at Charlestewn, the Washington monu- ment or the monument to Gen. Brock. near Queenstown. Ont, will tell their friends of their feat in ascending the 69S steps which lead from the seventh 1 floor of the city hall of Philadelphia to the landing about the feet of Will liam Penn Tower=elimhing is one of the fad. of tourists. Hitherto the Bunker Hill monument, with it's 400- odd stone steps, and the Washington monument, which has a few more, have represented the acme Of epper- tunity for tests of physical endurance Ascent or descent of these steps has been boasted of. and though both so cramp the muscles of the leg that the climber for an hour afterward is hard ly able to walk upright, the distinction has the requited pain. The building commission, adds the Philadelphia Press, is pushing forward the work on the tower stairway, and within two months it is expected that 1t will be in readiness for climbers. It will extend from the seventh to the sixteenth floor and will contain just 59S steps of iron arranged about a square. central shaft, in which will run an electric elevator. To reach the tower stairway the climber may mount the 245 granite stairs in the hanging stairways at the northern end of the building. thus making total climb of 743 steps.

RELIC PiLFERlNo MINISTERS.
They Chip Pieces of the Washingte Monument and Pay Well for Them

They Chip Pieces or the Washingto
 Monument and Pay We'll for Them.
 From the New York Mail and Ex- press. Colonel Bingham, superintend- ent of public buildings and grounds. who has charge of the Washington monument, says one of the greatest trounies the watchmen at the monu- ment have to contend with is the chip- ping of these memorial stones by relic hunters. "One of the strangest things in regard to these relic hunters" said Colonel Bingham, is the fact that more than one-half of the men arrested for chipping off relics are clergvmen. When the police arrest these aespoli- CTS and start with them to the station house the man will begin 10 ask what is the penalty and try to beg off. lie Is told that the fine is heavy one, Dut that S15 security can be put up for ap- pearance in the police court. Then the prisoner explains that he is minister of the gospel and meant 10 harm, and that he could not stand the disgrace of appearing in police court. He ends Up by giving up the collateral, a1ter generally trying to cut 1t down to slo' saying he has only that amount with him.

MICROBES EXIST IN BRooMs.
Household Implement a Breeding Place
 for Bacteria.


 "I he broom ordinarily is a fertile breeding place for bacteria, and should merit the interest and earnest consid eration, not only of all good house. wives, but of everyone who is interest ed in the health of the family, and the and sanitary conditions. It is not generally known that the ordinary broom Is the habitation or breeding place of great colonies of bacteria and unsanitary germs. La grippe, small pox and scarlet fever have been traced directly to this household artie1e-the ordinary broom" It is an interesting coincidence that almost simultaneous ly with this article a Georgia inventor announces that he has invented a san- itary broom. This broom is furnished with what it's inventor calls a retain er," which contains antiseptics. The retainer is incorporated in the part of the broom nearest the handle and is shaped somewhat like an incandescent light bulb; it is concealed by the broom straws and is held In place by transverse rows of stitching. The penetration of the retainer opens up numerous small outlets, which, acting together with the meshes, allow a gradual exudation of the antiseptio influence in their descent along and dissemination through the straws, in- surfing by the acts of sweeping ths thorough disinfection of carpets, and a perfect deodorizer of apartments.- Scientific American.
