TIE SOAP TREE.
lts Fruit II Used For Making Washes
aud washing povyderN

It's Frutt II Used For Making Washes
and Washing Powders.
The Saplndus utilis, or soap tree, -
was introduced into Algeria in lS45.
The soap tree In Algeria appears to be
4 hybrid and has characteristics quite
different from those OF any Of the
known varieties coming from India,
Japan China and Central America, and
u is superior TO all in general useful
ness
The Sapindus utllis is a large tree
with smooth, straight trunk The
plants reacn TO about ten feet In
height in two years and begin to bear
IN six years. The berry is round, but
with a distinct keel like that Of a wal
nut enclreling IT, Il is when fresh
smooth, shiny and heshy. When dried
II is tough, gummy and translucld.
The color varies from yellowlsh green
10 brown. In size It varies from about
half an inch to an inch in diameter.
So far the cultivation Of this tree in
Algeria has been confined to the low
lying lands near the coast, the orange
belt, but Il is believed that 1t would
endure a more severe climate. The
only large plantation OF these trees is
that of NJ. Bertrand at his property Of
Boukandoura, about eighteen miles
from Algiers, covering some hundred
and fifty acres.
There are no important manufactures
Of soap tree products in Algeria. The
entire product Of the plantation refer
red to above went last year TO Ger
many. A good deal Of the fruit is EN-
ployed in its natural state, and many
chemists produce specialties from H.,
such as "saponlne," an excellent wash
ing powder; "saplndlne," a reputed
hair wash, and other articles for toilet
purposes. Panama wood, which is OK,
tensiyely used in Europe FOR washing,
contains on an average about s per
cent Of saponiue. while the dried fruit
OF the soap tree contains fully % pei

when you come to consider that the
output from the Kimball factory alone
is over 100 instruments per day, under
one management and at one operating
