The production of lemon oil is an
important italian industry which IL
carried on extensively on the island
of Sicily. Three methods OF production
are usea-the tWo-piece method. in
which the lemon is cut In half; the
pulp removed and the oil extracted by
means of pressure within a sponge
n the tbree-piece method, in which
the lemon Is pared, the skin being re-
moved In three pieces, leaving tho pulp
with a small portion of the skin adher-
Ing to each end, the parings being
pressed against a fiat sponge for ex-
traction. The use OF machines In the
production of oil is confined to tho
province OF Calabria, upon the main
land. less than 6 per cent Of the total
output being thus made.

Fires have cost us as many as 1000
human lives in one years time, and
our loss in money value, through the

100000 a ear would not recoup us
for u losses by fire, and the Incl
dental expenses accompanying them,
in the same period OF time; the value
