AFRICAN OIL PALM
Grows Well ON Arid as Well as Moist
Soil


The African continent seems to pro
duce the greater number Of vegetable
growths which contain fatty or oily
matter in more or less fluid state
The fruits or other products Of these
plants are brought from the west
coast of Africa by boat to Marseilles,
Hamburg and Liverpool. The oil
palm is one Of the most valuable OF
the oil-producing varieties of the west
coast. 1t extends from Cape Verde
to Angola, over more than 5000 miles
of coast, and penetrates into the con-
tinent as far as the region of the
great lakes. II is even found on the
east coast. Proximity to the sea is
not as necessary for the oil palm as
for the cocoa tree, for II grows very
we'll in dry ground.
II is the fruit OF the tree which
yields the oil. From the pericarp is
extracted a yellowish oil, but the
nut itself affords a white oil. In the
Gulf of Guinea, the main. harvest
from the fruit is from January 10
June. The natives only extract the
yellow oil, while the white oil is
taken from the nut in Europe. The
pearly production Of a plant in good
condition is from 10 to IL growths
OF the fruit making in all some 200
pounds, which yields about fifteen
pounds Of oil from the shell, and 30
pounds from the nut. otner products
are taken from the tree, such as palm
wine and hbres. The 1bres Of the
young leaves are woven into baskets
and waterproof cordage. In Europe
the palm oil is used only for making
soap and candles, and not as food
product. when fresh, however II has
an agreeable taste, and might easily
replace oliye oil for table use.

Animals as Mechanics

1t Is only within recent years that
men have learned how to make houses
and other structures of cement. The
art is probably yet in a crude stage
and by and by mankind may learn to
use the material in vastly more skill
ful and efficient ways.
But many of the lower animals have
for ages been making their houses
Of mud or of similar plastic and hard
ening substances. The cliff swallows
skillfully built home is indeed a won
derful structure, especially when we
take into consideration the simple
way in which the bird does the work
Imagine boy or a girl trying to make
such structure of mud and handling
the material only by the aid of point
ed pliers. Yet the bird does it and
does it well with her pointed bill. In
some cement structures, especially in
railroad entertainments, you have prob.
ably noticed that the workmen first
put in several iron rods to increase
the strength of the wall. This is,
practically, what the phoebe, the rob
in and other birds do when they mix
a liberal supply of grasses and other
pant fibers, and even strings. through
their concretions of mud.-St. Nicho,
