Useful Candle Nut.

One OF the oldest nuts in the world
is the candle nut. which grows in the
Pacific islands. The name is derived
from the fact that the kernel is so full
of oil that when dried il can be stuck
in reed and used as a candle. The
natives of Hawaii roast these nuts,
and after removing the she'll reduce
the kernel to a paste, which. when
seasoned with salt and pepper. is re-
ported as making an appetizing dish.
The husk of the nuts and the gum
which exudes from the tree have me-
dicinal values. while the burned shell
is used in making an indelible ink
with which tattooing is done.-Ameri-
