If the basis is satisfactory to the

If, on the other hand, the basis is not
what the Amalgamated association

wAsPs BENEFIT THE FIGS.
Insects Are Necessary to the Fruit,
Sn..eessfuI Cultivation.

Insects Are Necessary to the Fruits
Successful Cultivation.
The long continued effort to produce
the Smyrna fig of commerce in Cali
fornia has been crowned with success.
The history of the experiment is in
teresting. 1t began over twenty years
ago with Importation of cuttings from
Asia Minor. Figs have been produced
from these and other imported cut
tings, but they were not the famous
white fig Of commerce. The credit OF
producing the latter in California be-
longs to Cieorge c. Roeding of Fresno.
Until this summer every true Smyrna
fig tree PLANTED in California which
bore fiult failed to mature it; the figs
were un,ertilized and withered and
dropped. 1t was finally discovered that
the fertilization of this fig depended
upon the service of the blastophaga
wasp, whose habitat is in the capri,
or wild fig. The latter was imported
and thrsved amazingly, but the balsto-
phaga did not accompany IT. Special
importations of the wasp followed, but
1t thriyed only for season on the
capri fig and then disappeared. II was
assumed that IL could not survive our
winters. Last year the department Of
agriculture took the matter in hand.
A fresh consignment was imported and
its care intrusted to Mr.. Roedlng. Last
April the young insect colony emerged
in full force from the first capri cot,
entered the second, emerged again, and
then took possession of the Smyrna
fig trees, the fruit on which was ready
for fertilization. Mr.. Roeding reports
that this experiment has been perfectly
successful. A ton of the fruit has all
ready been picked from his trees and
the entire crop will yield FIVE or six
tons more. Mr.. Roeding believes that
the blastophaga has come to stay and
he expects that California will be en-
riched soon with another industry

The battle over, the victorious
troops had given themselves up to
feasting and drinking to celebrate the
defeat of Salvarez.
The coronation of Philip had been
postponed. The battle had interfered,
and the troops were not now in
condition to realize the glory of such
an event.
While the eating and drinking,
smoking and the singing of Spanish
songs went on among the soldiers,
Philip sat alone in the library of SAL
varez, now called the council room
of the king.
His reveries were interrupted by the
entrance Of Don Juan, who burst in
upon him like a whirlwind.

an enemy among us"
Philip, seeing the frenzied look on
Garzas face, started to his feet.
What do you mean, Cara? Speak!
What has happened?"
Lola, my daughter!' gasped Don
Juan, unable to say more.
What of her?" demanded Philip,
pacing his hand on the hilt of his
sword.
"She is gone from the castle!" Don

CHAPTER NI.-(Contlnued)
Thus they talked, Gomez all the time
conducting the defense of the castle
against its owner, and at the same
time keeping Philip and Don Juan
with him, and their interest conferred
in the fight.
An hour passed, and burned powder
on each side was the only result
achieved
Don Juan began to grow impatient.
"Of what use is this?" he exclaimed.
"The fools will play with those guns
all day and all night. This kind of war
fare grows monotonous. When they get
weary they will depart only to annoy
us again"
what would you advise, Don
Juan?" asked Philip
Attack! Drive them! Cut them
down! 1t is only by destroying this
army of Salvarez that we can carry
our banners from this place toward
Caracas"
1T is So" said Philip, Gomez, why
not attack"
1T can be DONE" said Gomez, darting
a look of hatred at Cara.
&c was not the desire of Gomez just
then to shorten the battle Mattazudo
had not yet returned from the evil err
rand upon which he had been sent.
But the commands of Philip must be
obeyed.
Then it was that Salvarez was start
led by the shouts of his men.
From the battlements outside the
castle came a company to drive the be-
siegers away.
Salvarez shouted out an order to his
soldiers. They had been impatiently
waiting for the time to come when
rifles and pistols could be used in the
defense OF their country, instead of
cannon, which accomplished nothing.
They rallied around their courageous
leader
