AHttle more than fifty years ago the cacao
tree had never been seen in Africa. 1t was
first cultivated on the island of st. Thomas
about 1850. The islands Of st. Thomas and
Principe are now producing about 50, 900 900
pounds Of cacao a year, and they sell the
crude product for about $4,000 900 to the
manufacturers Of chocolate and cocoa. A
great new industry has arisen In Africa.
The Portuguese are very proud Of the brill
liant history Of their industry and call 1t
the greatest material success yet attained
in West Africa.
Theexplorer~ CHEvALlER, who has returned
from tho French colonies, where he studied
economic conditions last year for his Gov
or controls q single cacao grove on the
Gold Coast. Every plantation, large or
small, IL owned by the natives;and although
In 1855 not q tree was to be found on the
Gold Coast, the African blacks there are
now producing about Ii 500 900 pounds of
cacao q year, worth over 5 1000 900. The
part which Europeans have thus far
taken In the industry has been wholly
advisory and commercial. They share in
the profits because they buy and ship the
raw product.
Caoao is comforting a double blessing on
the Gold Coast. 1t is bringing material
well being to the country, and 1t Is encour-
aging the natives to work 80 that each may
share In the benefits. The destiny Of the
oacao tree seems to be to exert an educational
and a moral influence while adding to the
prosperity Of native Africans.

necessary for the American Government
to act quickly to prevent the embroil-
ment Of other States between which and
Guatemala no love is lost.
Since 1885, when President RUFINo
BARR1os of Guatemala, who designed to
form aunion OF Central American States
by force n negotiations failed, fell in
battle in a war against the republics Of
Nicaragua, Costa RIGA and Salvador, the
Guatemalan Government has been under
suspicion; and as the other States are
keenly sensitive about their independence
q general war could be started by the
military politicians on very little provo
cation. With the Panama Canal to build
and d growing Central American trade to
foster, the United States cannot afford to
be Indifferent to a disturbance which has
such an angry aspect as the collision on
tbs Salvador Guatemalan border.

they were married before they read tho riot act
to the men: why women did not draw the line upon
men whom they knew to be careless OF their morals:
why women accepted as friends and acquaintance
men who were not saints: why women didn't get
their ideas OF husbands before they married them.
To sum It all up. why women didn't draw the line
on all men as they drew II on all women,

Vacation aelaOOla.

This 10 not the most propitlous time
OF the year for statistics, but tho figures
for the city's vacation school work are
both seasonabIe and refreshing
The summer session Of 1905 began on
July o, when thirty-one schools were
opened, seventeen in this borough, thir-
teen In the transporting province and
one IN Queens, for a six weeks session
OF three hours. daily except Saturday
and Sunday. For the year ended July
81, 1905, the report of Miss EvANaELINE
E. WHITNEY, district superintendent In
charge Of vacation schools, Fairgrounds
and recreation centres, showed an aggre-
gate attendance in thirty-three schools
Of 52a, 800, or a daily average Of 17,4es
approximately 1000 in Manhattan, 1000
in Brooklyn, s5S in Queens and $40 In
The Bronx.
More piquantly than the vacation
schools, however, the Fairgrounds and
recreation centres appeal to public inter-
est. In 19O4-0S the attendance at the
ei1ty-seven afternoon Fairgrounds was
in the aggregate 1880, $3.50, a daily YER
age Of more than 4l,ooO; and at the even
ing roof play grounds 1t was / 1855, ass and
2s,2sa. This year the Fairgrounds Of
eighty-fve schools will DO open to the
city's children from I TO $50 each after
noon for eight weeks. There will also
be in use thirty-seven indoor play
grounds, and several vacant lots have
been placed at Miss WmTNEY's disposal
by private persons. Sand pits, tents and
various apparatus Of play will make
these places a haven Of delight to the
youngsters who would otherwise be on

The work Of these supervisors, most Of
whom are regular teachers In the city
schools from September to June, is q
most oommendable one, and the slight
addition to their years pay is not their
best reward for giving up the biggest
part Of their summer vacation. It is q
reward in which the whole city shares.

The Federation Of Churches will this
summer employ sixty-nine college STU
dents as teachers in its twenty-three
schools in New York and Jersey City,
and there will probably be at least 5000
children In attendance. The work, says
School, is non-seotarian. Glasses will
meet in the church halls Of nine denom-
nations and in settlement houses,
With these well equipped schoolrooms
and cool %courtyards to lure them from
