1t is estimated that the entire TURK

900. 1000 quintals (Turkish), or, say, So.
600 tons. 1t is, therefore, relatively
insufficient to meet local requirements
and foreign demands.
The olive oil crop in Greece, Crete
Italy, and Morocco has completely
failed. The crop of Tunis is estimated
at about 10000 tons, or about one

Nests That Weigh Tons.

In Australia are to be found the
largest, heaviest, and most peculiar
nests in the world. These are the
nests Of the jungle fowl, so-called.
and are built In the form Of great
mounds, the average measurement in
height being IL feet and tho circum.
ference $50 feet. The nests are erect
ed in secluded, sheltered spots; and,
as in the case Of the small nests OF
birds, they are skilfully interviewer
with leaves, grass and twigs, and such
other suitable material a. the fowl
may be able to procure. T.. -
