A Career.

Probably no other of the West In
dian islands has had such a checkered
career as Santa Cruz. In turn it has
belonged to Spain, which abandoned
1t; to England and Holland jointly; to
England alone; to Spain again, which
tell upon the colonists and destroyed
or deported them all; to France, which
took 1t from Spain; to the Knights of
Malta, who received it as a gift from
France; to a private company of adj
v%enturers. Then it was resumed pos
session of by France, but abandoned,
SO that in 1920 it was uninhabited.
Then it became a no-man's land until
|l727, when France took it again, and
presently sold it to a Danish company,
which sold it in turn to the king of
Denmark. In 1901 England took it
once more, gave it back to Denmark,
repented and took it away again in a
few months, held it for eight years
and then returned it to Denmark,
which holds it still.

cERMANY's STEEL TRUST.
Nearly the Whole Production Of the
Empire IS Controlled by One
Big Organization.

In his report on the trade in Germany
in 1904. his majesty's consul general at
Berlin states that at the end of Febru-
airy. 1894. almost all the large steel
works were united under the Steel
Works syndicate, which now controls
nearly the whole production of steel in
Germany. e., more than 8,000,0 600
tons; about half of that quantity is sold
by the syndicate directly, while the
other half is sold by the individual
works, but according to rules laid down
by the syndicate, according to the San
Francisco Chronicle. The agencies OF
the single works in foreign countries
were in turn amalgamated and are also
directly controlled by the syndicate and
international agreements have been
concluded with manufacturers in other
countries for the sale of special lines,
such as rails, etc. The following inter-
national export agreements existed at
the end of 1904 and the beginning OF
1905: /, the International Rail Syndi-
cate; 2, the International Tube .Synd1-
cate.
The international Rail syndicate was
concluded for three years by British,
German and Belgian manufacturers,
and their respective quota were $3.50,
1928 and 1857 per cent; the French
manufacturers who joined the syndi"
cate later were awarded 4.8 of 104.S per
cent. for the first, SIS of 1858 per cent.
for the second and GA of 1864 per cent.
for the third year. The chief distribut-
ing office is in London. The tube syn
dictate embraces Berman. Belgian and
French works, and their respective
quota are 73.45, 1906 and II so per cent.
The sales are effected through the three
sales offices at Dusseldorf, Paris and
Brussels, not through the works them
selves.

cocoANuT BUTTER.
It Will Keep Well for a Long Time
and Is a Good Antiseptic
Medium.

A new butter is now being made.
from the milk of the c%ocoanut. This
milk, when subjected to a tempera-
ture of over % c., runs into a yellow
Aoil, which is imported in great guam
kites from India and Africa. The bet
ter qualities of it are obtained from
Ceylon. Cochin China and Australia.
The nut produces GO per cent. Of oil
and Npne acre of land planted with CO.
peanut trees would produce owe 400
bounds Of oil. This has hitherto been
used for fats for soap, or for machin-
cry oil. and the better qualities en-
ployed in the manufacture of textile
goods.
In France this oil is now subjected
to q special treatment and converted
into butter.
DIR. Heuner, a German chemist, pro-
poses to buy up all the cocoanut oils
and transform them into what he
terms vegetable butter"
The cocoanut butter, like that made
from cows milk, contains seven per
cent. OF soluble acids. 1t will keep
from is to 20 days without showing
any sign of acid reaction, and 1t con
tains from rs to 80 times less water
than ordinary butter, while its slow
1ress In oxidizing makes it specially
suitable for pastry and cakes, as they
will not get stale SO quickly when
made with 1t as with other butter.
Another advantage claimed for the
cocoanut butter is that it seems to be
an antiseptic medium, while milk IL
most favorable to the culture of Mi
crobes.
At the central hospital Of Vienna ant
in various hospitals, in Switzerland, ex
periments have been made with this
new butter, and the results have beer
pronounced satisfactory.
