EXTRACTING THE OLIVE OIL
Spain Is Ambitious to Compete with
Italy in the Production of Olives
and Olive Oil.

The olive industry in Spain is in
creasing in importance within late
years, mainly owing to the efforts
which have been made to use i'm
proved processes so as to compete
successfully with the Italian in
dustry.
One of the leading branches Of
the olive trade is the prepare
ton of green olives. This is car.
ried out on a large scale at BARGE
Iona. There is a large internal
consumption Of the olives, and be-
sides the annual exports now
reach 1000 tons. The olives are
put up in bottles or kegs, To car
ry out the picking process the
olives are well sorted, as only
those win ,ch show no faults can be
kept.
They then are placed for several
days in cold water, which is re.
newed frequently. Then they are
placed in a brine bath, which con,
sists of a salt aud soda solution,
and are covered with the liquid.
In some cases different aromati
substances are added to tie batl
SO as to give a SPECIAL favor to
he olives. Ripe or nearly ripp
olives are but little in demand anl
are not consumed to a large ex
ent.
AS to the extraction Of olive Oil
this has been carried out hereto
ore by a primitv We process. Fac.
small cultivator extracted hiS
own oil by a press which he hired
generally making payment in OF
or farm products. The olives wela
ground up in a horse mill before
pressing. The ground olives were
then put in a lever press, using
boiling water for the extraction.
The presses are of heavy build,
but the process is a slow one and
the olives need to be stored on
hand for some time. They are thus
likely to ferment and give an in
feriOr quality of oil.
1t is estimated hat there are
some 5000 or 1000 primitive oil
presses in use in Spain at the pres
ent time. The pomace which re
manned was formerly used fol
fodder or as a combustible. but
now it is generally sold and NOR,
oil is taken from it by an improved
process. Some of the large pro
ducers saw the necessity of work
ing on a greater scale and com
menced to introduce large
cylinder presses and grinding
mills, which gave an increase il
the quantity as well as the quail
ity of the oil.
AS to the remainder of the div,
oil process, the oil is placed il
earthenware jars or tin tanks anC
is then filtered. In some eases tn,
air is kept from the oil by mean.
of a layer of alcohol which il
placed on the surface. The inferi
or grades of oil are used in soaI
manufacture. II Scientific Amer

Mayor CIute's Good Move.

SCHENECTADY, N. Y.. March 30.- Mayor Jacob winne Clute has taken upon himself to free the city of barrel organs, Dutch bands that make new agony of last seasons ragtime and of street pianos that are soul disturbing. The police are to arrest every street musician found making mercenary dis cord without license And in order to get license the musicians CD have to go to the city hall and play selec- ton before the mayor and his secre- tary, Professor James Reagles Truax, late of Union college. who decides whether they ought to be allowed to play on the streets. Ragtime is pro- hlbited.

CHAPTER XIII. THE wRECKERS.


 Just why Receiver Guilford, an of.
 ficer of the court who was supposed to be nursing, an insolvent railroad
 to the end that its creditors might
 not lose all, should begin by declaring
 war on the roads revenue, was a question which the managers of com peting lines strove vainly to answer.
 But when, in defiance of all precedent,
 he made the cut rates effective to and from all local stations on the Trans
 Western, giving the shippers at in- termediate and non-competitive points the full benefit of the reductions, the railroad colony denounced him as a mailman and gave him a month in which to find the bottom of presum- ably empty treasury.
 But the event proved that the ma Jors madness was not altogether with out method. It is an axiom in the business; create it, so to speak, out of nothing. Given an abundant crop, low prices, and high freight rates in the great cereal belt, and, be the farm CTS never so poor, much of the grain will be stored and held against the chance of better condition.
 So it came about that Major Guil- ford's relief measure was timed to a nicety, and the blanket cut in rates opened a veritable fiood-gate for busi- ness in Trans-western territory. From the day of it's announcement the traffic of the road increased by leaps and bounds. Stored grain came out of Its hiding places at every country crossroads to beg for cars: stock feeders drove their market cattle unheard-of distances, across the tracks of competing lines, over and around obstacles of every sort. to pour them into the loading corrals of the Trans Western
 Nor was the traffic all outgoing. With the easing of the money burden. the merchants in the tributary towns began thriftily to take advantage of the low rates to renew their stocks; visits and business trips suddenly became possible; and the saying that it was cheaper to travel than to stay at home gained instant and grateful currency.
 In a short time the rolling stock i of the road was taxed to it's utmost l and the newly appointed agent vss buying cars and right and Jeff Also. to keep pace with the ssss-increasing procession of trains, doubled con-

cials of the department of justice. It would cause no surprise in Washington if at no distant date the president would find some other sphere than that of the bureau of corporations in which MT. Garfield will be able to exercise his activities.
 Western and southwestern members of congress who have been deeply in- terested in the beef trust case and who are equally interested in the Standard oil investigation are saying some sharp things about Mir. Garneld's failure up to this time to produce the goods" They are afraid the Standard oil inves- tigation will not be effective.
 Something of the feeling on the sub- ject may be judged from the comment of western member who on issuing from the White House offices the other day said MT, Garfield would make an admirable professor of economies in a young ladies' seminary.

 Hunnicott was silent for a full min ute. Then he said:

 It had occurred to Kent, but he gave his own explanation of Major Guil- lords policy in terse sentence.

 Kent shook his head unhopefully.
 Don't mistake me-" he said. '1 am fighting for the pure love of 1t. and not with any great hope of saving the stockholders. These grafters may have us by the nape of the neck. We can't mako a move till MacFarlane comes back and gives us hearing on the merits. That may not be till the next term of court. Meanwhile, the temporary receiver is to all intents and purposes permanent receiver; and the interval would suffice to wreck dozen railroads" - And still you won't give up?" No" ,.a T hope you won't have to. But to man up tree it looks very much like dead cock in the pit. As have said, if there is any backing to do, I'm with you, first, last, and all the time, merely from sportsman's inter- est in the game. But is there any use in little handful of us trying to buck up against whole state government"
 The coffee had been served, and Kent dropped lump of sugar into his cup.
 "Ormsby, I'll never let go while I'm alive enough to fight" he said slowly. One decent quality I have-and the only one, perhaps: don't, know when Pm beaten. And I'll down this crowd of political plunderers yet, if Bucks doesn't get me sand-bagged."
 His listener pushed back his chair.
 "If you stood to lose anything more than your job could understand it." he commented. "As 1t is, I can't. Any way you look at it, your stake in the game isn't worth the time and effort it will take to play the string out. And happen to know you're ambi- tious to do things-things that count"
 What is it you don't understand the motive?" .>
 That's it." g
 Kent laughed. ,5
 You are not as astute as Miss Van Brock. She pointed 1t out to me last night-or thought she did-in two worlds" ormsby's eyes darkened, and he did not affect to misunderstood.
 "It would be a grandstand play" he said half-musingly. eff you should happen to worry it through, mean. believe Mrs. Hepzibah would be ready to fall on your neck and forgive you, and turn me down." Then, half-jest- ingly: Kent, what will you take to drop this thing permanently and go away?"

 Kent rose and took the proffered cigar from Ormsby's case. "@- Tt depends a good bit upon how l. doesn't it?" he rejoined coolly. And ! your figure is unfortunate in its other | half. I am going to beat Guilford."
