Provisions from Trees.

There is a tree which grows in Sumatra, Algeria and China which is known as the vegetable tallow tree. From it's fruit large quanti ties of oil and tallow are extract ed, and the fruit is gathered in November or December, when all the leaves have fallen. Excellent candles are made from the berries of a tree which grows in some parts of South Africa and the Azores. At Sierra Leone is found the cream fruit tree, the fruit of which is very agreeable in taste. In Ceylon there is the breadfruit tree, from which food is made in the same way that we make bread. Itissaidto be equally good and nu- tritious. In South America we find the milk tree.-Philadelphis Ledger.

BIG BEE RANCH IN FRISCO
Public School Principal of Coast City Harvests a Third of Ton
 of Honey Season.

There is bee ranch with more than 100000 bees in the heart of one of the densest residence districts of San Fran cisco. It is owned by Philip Prior, prin- cipal of public school, and is in the little back yard of his home. For ten years he has kept his bees there, has harvested about third of ton of honey each season and has been at no expense for food for his interesting and industrious pets. Although it is dis tance of two and one-half miles from the Prior bee ranch to Golden Gate park, the bees make the trip there, collect loads of honey and get back to the hive in two minutes, making bullet-like flight at the surprising rate of 150 miles an hour. MT. Prior has demonstrated this by having an observer watch cer- tain bee-favored places in the park and exactly timing the arrival there of bees he purposely sprinkled with flour as they issued from hive. He has also kept time on the absence of the whitened bees.

BIG PROFIT IN PENTHOUSE
Average New York Seashore Resort Receives Nearly $2,OOO Day
 for Rooms Alone.

If you doubt that the nickel and quar- ter business doesn't pay, consider the money making propensities of the aver age seashore bathhouse around New York, and make over your opinion. A representative bathing pavilion has 1,500 bath compartments. It costs 20 cents to rent one. On medium hot summers day some $500 are derived from renting these rooms, for the com partments are used in the course of the day by about 40oO persons. Bathing suits rent for 25 cents each. There would be 5000 of them for such pavil. Ion, which means $1 ,000 day if half oi them are rented once; and it is fair to assume that three-fourths of the 4,00C bathers pay five cents for the use of a comb and brush-s150. A total of near. ly $2,000, to say nothing Of the proceeds from restaurant, bar, barber shop and indoor baths

ASPARAGUS HAS A LINEAGE
Romans Held Vegetable in High Es- teem Many Years Before
 Christ.

Of all food plants there is none which has been so long known or been pos sessed of so distinguished lineage as the asparagus. It's records reach back almost to the beginning of authentic his- tory, and it is mentioned by the comic poet Cratinus, who died about 425 B. c. The Romans held the vegetable in high esteem. The elder Cato wrote a work which is still extant, De re Rustica, " and 1t treats at length of the virtues and proper cultivation of asparagus. Pliny, In his natural history written about b0 A. D., has much to say about it. He feelingly observes: "Of all the products or your garden your chief care should be asparagus" and he devotes several chapters to it's many good qualities and the best methods of raising it. He as serts that the soil about Ravenna was so favorable to it's production that three heads grown in that district had been Known to weigh Roman pound. This pound seems to have been about equal to II ounces in our day, so it would ap- parently have taken four of the stalks to have reached pound of our weight. The asparagus being essentially a southern plant, it is possible that the stock growing in Italy was of more vigorous growth than that of our north ern cline. It is found all around the shores Of the Mediterranean and branches off into four or five distinct species besides the one ordinarily used for edible purposes.

FEAR OF GERMAN INVASION
Not Warranted by Number of Kaiser'a Subjects at Present Residing in
 South America.

German migration to South America, and especially to some of the southern states of Brazil, is periodically a cause of com. ment and concern to some who think they see therein a sinister scheme of imperial conquest. For two or three strong reasons, says the New York Tribune, such fears seem to us to be not we'll founded. One such reason is that the number of Germans in Brazil is not, after all, ominous- ly large. The total population of Brazil ording to the census of 1896, was 14,333,915. No later census returns are available, but careful estimates now place the total at more than 17,000,O00, of which number less than 3,000,000 are Indians and negroes, leaving certainly more than 14,000,000 whites. Of these, in 1901, only 2,700,000 were immigrants, and of the latter number only 300, were Germans.
 The latest and highest esti- mate of the number of Germans in Brazil is only 450,OO0, or a lit tie over three per cent. of the whole. Really, we cannot regard that as dangerous percentage. Nor does it represent the largest foreign element, by any means. Portuguese immigrants into Bra. gil are twice as numerous, and Italians three times as numer. ous, as the Germans. Nor yet are these Germans so massed in certain states as to form ma jority of their population, as some have imagined. Germans are most numerous in Rio Grande. do Sul, where there are 100000 of them, but the whole population of the state is 100000, so that the Germans are less than one-fourth. In Santa Catha. rina the Germans are 100000 in total of 100000, or one-t third, the largest proportion in any state. In Parana they are 47,OO0 in 280,000, and in Sac Paulo 3O,- 900 in 1,430,O0O.
 It is pointed out as ominouS that these Germans continue to use their own language, to pub fish newspapers in German and to demand the official use of that language in courts and schools. We'll, the same may be said of Germans in New York, and in Milwaukee, and in many other parts of the United States.
 The conquest which Germany hopes for in Brazil is not p0lit. ical, but commercial. The profit she looks for in this migration of her subjects is to be found in in. creased commerce. In that Ger. many reckons shrewdly. Every shipload of Germans landed in Brazil creates a demand for many shiploads of German man. ufactured goods. Every so-called German colony in Brazil means a market for German trade. Upon this feature of the case too much stress cannot easily be laid.

REARRANGES TAX And
LAND DEPART MENTS
Northern Pacific Recognizes
Work of Handling Its
Real Estate

The real estate and right of way BUSH
ness of the Northern Pacific Is to be con-
solidated with the land department of
the road after the first of the year and
placed in charge of Thomas Cooper. At
the same time the tax matters will be
taken care of by G. s. Fernald who will
devote his entire attention to duties aris-
ing out of the one question of taxes.
The business of the land department has
fallen off somewhat each year for several
years on account of the disposal Of much
of the available land grant lands along
the lines of the road, and it Is expected
to decrease materially in the future, al
though there are tremendous tracts of
land belonging to the company still un-
sold.
On account Of this decrease President
Howard Elliott announced yesterday that
the department would be reorganiZed ac-
cording to the above outline. The addi-
tions to Mr. Cooper's department are in
direct line with the land work and 1T is
said that the new arrangement will give
the company more exact system of car
ing for its real estate business.
The tax department has grown tre-
mendously with the increase in value of
the properties of the road, and has be-
come so important in the eyes OF Mr.. Ell
liott that instructions have been issued
for Mr.. FeFuaid to report to the PFesi-
dents office.
