CALIFORNIA OLIVE OIL

The sale Of olive oil constitutes one
OF the largest items Of revenue to
California. Although olives have
been grown there for more than half .
century. the quantity OF fruit sold out
side Of the State before 1900 was In
significant.
Forming themselves into an asso-
citation, number of the large growers
have taken steps since then to COM
pete with Italy and France in selling
their product, and have succeeded to
such an extent that. according to
Moody's Magazine, they manufacture
large proportion Of the 100000
gallons of olive oil at present pro.
duced in this country.
One ton of olives usually yields
thirty to thirty-five gallons of oil.
For the Eastern trade the California
association has established an exten.
sive bottling plant in New England to
which the oil is actually shipped BY
the carload in tanks, like so much
petroleum. One of the large olive
orchards alone contains no less than
100000 trees, which will give an idea
Of the magnitude of olive growing.

Even Hat Is Used for Smuggling
1t not for the fear of teaching dishon-
est men how to defraud the govern
ment.
"Double-bottomed bottles and other
vessels are common contrivances of
smugglers. In order not to awaken our
suspicion they are usually filled with
some beverage, beer or wine, and this
is duly declared by the man in charge
of the vehicle. We have often been
swindled in this way in the past. Now
we are never deceived by double bot
toned bottles, nor for that matter by
hollow horse collars, which was at one
time another favorite dodge of the
alcohol smuggler.
But have come across even more
ingenious tricks than these. In smug-
Cling alcohol through the gates of
Paris it is not at all necessary to have
vehicle and a bulky cargo. A single
man can carry quite quantity of alco-
hol, and in quite different sense
from that usually applied to drunk
ards. A smartly dressed gentleman
under his spotless waistcoat and white
shirt carries an Indian rubber plastron
brimful of alcohol. True, his appear
ance is rather bulky, but then he can
probably put that down to good living

coat is replaced by tin one, also filled
with alcohol; and have known even
an immaculate looking tall hat to be
found to contain. some heavily taxed
liquor. Then again this class of snug
gler will often carry an innocent-look-
ing portfolio which contains not pa
pers, but alcohol. Thus surrounded by
alcohol on all sides, he walks past us
with the gravest of airs, taking care
not to make false step, otherwise
his heavily loaded hat might fall to
the ground and reveal the fraud. l

be accompanied by fashionable

Alcohol without a doubt is the arti-

THE NEW INSURANCE AGENT.
He Comes in With the New Law-Pau
Morton on His Opportunity.

The new insurance law of the State
of New York has opened up a promis-
ing field for both men and women
with brains and energy in the sale Of
life insurance. The law now provides
standard forms of policies, each Of
which practically bears the hall mark
of the State of New York. and this new
order of things has established the
sale of life insurance on correct
basis.
The prohibition against rebating and
extravagant allowances to agents has
driven out of the business the old
type Of insurance agent, who in many
cases virtually bought business, with
large rebates, instead Of selling it.
His place is being taken by profess
sors. lawyers, school teachers of both
sexes, and others, who find that being
Q life insurance agent under the new
system offers greater reward than
their previous vocations. The law has
reduced commissions but all of tho
commission now goes to the agent.
Life insurance is something that
everyone needs and under the pres
ent system it's sale is being conducted
with becoming dignity and propriety.
Paul Morton, president of the Equita-
BILE Life Assurance Society, has taken
the lead in building up an agency or
ganization that is in keeping with the
demands of public sentiment, and the
standard he has set for his company.
He says: eve want new agents, both
men and women. but none except en-.
ergetic, able and truthful people need
apply. For such there is splendid
opportunity"
Mr.. Morton's policy of injecting new
and vigorous blood into the agency
force of the Society is meeting with
success in all parts of the country.

CANNIBAL PLANTS.

Some of the Characteristics of Those
Anomalies of the Vegetable Kingdom.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer: It
mas been proved time and again that
the so-called "canibal plants" of which
the Venus fytrap is the type, reimuch
more healthy when allowed their regu-
lar insect food than when they are
reared under netting or in any other
manner which excludes them from
their regular meat diet. The above is
an oddly of itself, especially when we
consider the fact that there is a GER
tain school of botanists which teaches
cannibal plants make no use whatever
of the insect prey captured by them,
but it is nothing compared with the
bold assertion made by Francis Darwin.
That noted scientific gentleman bravely
meets the vegetarian botanists' with
the assertion that all kinds and classes
of plants, whether known as "meaters''
or not, bear more and heavier fruits and
seeds when fed on meat than those that
are not allowed a flesh diet. He grew
two lots, comprising various varieties of
the different common plants. One lot
was regularly fed Through their roots.
of course) with pure juices compressed
from meat. the other with water and
the various fertilizers The final fig
ures on this odd experiment proves that
the plants which were fed pure meat
juice bore 1853 fruits of the different
kinds, while the unfed plants Of the
same number and original condition
bore but twenty-four. Also that the
pampered plants bore 24O seeds to every
100 borne by the plants that were not
given a chance to crafty cannibalistic
tastes. This Is certainly a discovery
worthy Of much careful study and ex.
tensive experiment. ii. e
