They are not impecunious immigrants,

the otherse with amounts ranging from
$l,5OO to as high as $4,000, many of
them having about $4,000 to $4,000.

unknown to Europe and America. One
of these is the durian, whose remark

by visitors to the archipelago.
The durian grows on a lofty tree

as large a sa cocoanut, has a shiny
smell, and contains a creamy pulp which
combines some of the flavors of a de-
lieloust custard with those of a fine
