Perhaps the most unique industry
in the United States is the manufac-
ture OF artificial limbs from the
yucca palm. Yucca brevifolia, which
is really not palm, but which be-
longs to the hlys tribe and ia the
largest of that family, is the most
beautiful of desert growths and is
found on the Moiave desert. The
yucca yucca brevifolia) sometimes
attains a height of 40 feet. The
wood is light and pithy, though capa-
bic of bearing heavy weight. For
these reasons it is especially adapted
to the manufacture of artificial
limbs. The trunk grows from one to
two feet in thickness and fourishes
in some of the most abandoned per-
tions of the desert. Short sections
of another variety, whose interior is
light and soft, being filled with a
pith somewhat more elastic and
firmer in fiber than the pith of a
corn stalk, are sold as pin cushions.
The yucca is usually a solitary tree,
but on the Mojave desert is beauti-
ful grove extending many miles. The
Spanish dagger yucca filimentosa)
is smaller but better known rep
resentative of this strange family
