FROM the Brooklyn Eagle
For the first time In the history of the
country. the sales Of United States fruits
exceeded in value the imports of bananas.
lemons and other fruits which We get from
abroad. Up to the present time we have al
ways been in the debt of the foreign fruit
grower. but last year the demand for Amer
lean apples and prunes overbalanced the
imports of fruits.
The Americans are great banana eaters
Every year we import from $4,000. 600 to
30.000.O00 punches of this nutritious fruit
for which we pay between 100000 and
IS 100000.
To this sum may be added annually about
$4,000 worth of plantains. fruit closely
resembling the banana and used for cooking
purposes in the south. Next in Importance
to bananas in the import fruit trade are
lemons, for which upward OF So 100000 is
expended abroad annually. Italy being the
almost exclusive source of supply. These
two products. bananas and lemons, regular
ly constitute in value over one-half the total
annual imports Of fruit.

Snake Culture in Australia.
From the Kansas City Journal

Snakes. according to the prevailing popu-
lar notion. should be killed at sight as ut
terly useless and positively dangerous crea-
lures, but In Australia they are now being
systematically reared for the sake of their
skins, which have considerable CONNER
cial value In London, Paris and New York
Snake skin is the fashionable material for
slippers. belts. bags, purses. card cases.
Jewel boxes, dressing table accessories etc
Rabbit trappers supplement their means
considerably by catching youn snakes and
extracting the poisonous fangs The blacks
are also expert snake-catchera To them

A wonderfully constructed gun is
the new 1903 model now being made at
Rock Island arsenal 1t is expected
that the ordnance department will be
prepared bysDec. l next to supply the
entire regular army with the weapon.
All told 10000 of these rifles have
already been completed. but it has
been decided not to issue any of them
to troops until 100000 have been com
pleted The number stated is the maxi
mum strength of the army on a war
footing
The new rifle is believed to be su.
perior 10 any in use in foreign armies
at this time. The present service
rifle. which has been in use since just
before the Spanish war, will be re-
turned to the arsenal and later re-
issued to the various military organiZa-
lions now armed with the compare
lively ancient Springfield rifle.
The most noticeable difference be-
tween the present and the new arm is
that the barrel of the latter is entirely
covered with wood. This innovation
was the result of suggestions made to
the ordinance officers by enlisted men
In the campaigns in Cuba and in the
Philippines il was found that after a
period of rapid discharges the rifle
, barrels became 50 hot that they could
not be used for time In many
cases men in the heat of battle had
the skin burned from their hands by
the hot barrels. The wood-covered
| barrel is the result of these expert
ences, the steel being entirely covered
10 within two inches of the muzzle of
the gun.
In almost every other particular,
from stock TO forward sight, there is
an important difference between the
present and the new guns Fully as
sembled. the new rifle weighs a trif1e
more than pounds. The magazine
has a capacity of five cartridges and
can be filled with ease and rapidity
Some idea of its efficiency can be gain
ed when it is known 90 shots have
been fired in one minute with the rife
used as a single loader. and % shots
