be furnished by Porto Rico and the Philip pines For bananas, for instance, we paid fin 1898 over $5, 800 0G0 mostly to Jamaica and Central America, says the Scientific Ameri- can. In Porto Rico the banana has scarcely been considered as an article of export. It has been p,anted principally for shade in the coffee plantations. and is of unstable quality The variety almost exclusively sqn- ported into the Unised States Is not gen. orally cultivated. As the conditions fer com merc.al barana growing are favorabte, IL may be expected that attempts in thls ul- recfon will soon be made.
 Soil and climatic conditions are exceeo- ing,y diverse; it is probable that wlde range Of products can be secured, at least flor local consumption. Oranges, lines ana other citrus fruits, European grapes ana other semi-trcp;cal fruits and vegetables can be produced in the drfer parts of the island; while from the moister parts va nilla cacao, mangoes and other more Strlct- ly tropical plants can be exported. In the meantime it Is of great importance that the existing industries be improved. Sugar lands are receiving attention from Amerl- can capitalists and large modern factories are being built.
 Coffee, the chief product of the island, is perhaps that in which tine gBeatest ex- pansion is possible. Over $13,O00,0O0 worth of coffee has been exported in single sea son from Porto Rico in spite or methods of cultivation of the most primitive char acter. Instead of seedlings grown in nur- series, those which spring up by chance, already weak and spindling, are used. This together with the overcrowding and lack of proper care, brings the average crop down to one third or less of what might be obtained through better methods. There Gs a large amount Of land suitable for cof- fee culture not now planted. If this in iustry were properly developed Porto Rico might supply quite half of the enormous quantity consumed by the United States, our imports in 1898 being valued at over $65 000, GOO.
 The fact that Porto Rico contains no large unoccupied areas has led some ob- servers to represent the entire island as thickly populated. This is not the case. While a large part of the available land has been at some time under cultivation there are many districts in which not more than 10 per cent. of 1t is now in use, except for stock raising, which may properly be called the most popular agricultural indus try at the present time. For men without capital or experience in the industries of tropical countries there are no openings In Porto Rico. Porto Rico is unique among the West Indies in the possession of large white population capable of furnishing la- bor for carrying out local improvements and of taking part in advancing civilization. This is because of the delightful climate, where the European can live, work and thrive A more advantageous point of contact with the tropics could scarcely have been selected.

It is about one inch long, three-fourths of an inch wide and three-eighths of an inch thick, and contains the first five books of the Old Testament. The text of the book is in Hebrew and the titles in Latin. It can only be read with the help of a powerful magnifying glass.
 Not only in numbers. but also in point Of territory the circulation of the Bible exceeds all other books. The American Bible Society has printed it in 300 tongues Thousands of copies even now are travel ing through the frozen Polar regions to people who have not only never heard of the book, but 10 whom books are unknown.
