sheets of glass, till dry, and powdered.
This process is carried out in Mexico,
one or two of the West Indian islands,
and Ceylon The dried latex thus pro-
duced has sold in the English market
for $3.50 to So or SO pound, and in
the United States for 81 to S. An
average tree in Mexico is said to yield
one quarter pound of dried juice. Dur
ing the year 1903, powdered latex to the
value of $4,000 was exported from one
little island of the British Antilles.
Jared c.. Smith, writing from Hawaii,
stated that papayas ship we'll, and make
return for the money invested in
growing them, earlier than is the case
with most other tropical products. The
papaya is already known to certain
extent in the New York fruit markets.
Since the papaya can be picked several
days before it is quite ripe, it can be
shipped a considerable distance without
ice, and nearly ripe papayas can be safe
ly shipped in cold storage There should
be a good market for this fruit in the
North when its advantages for dyspep-
tics, or for those with tendency to
dyspepsia, are better understood.
The papaya is really large herb, and
hence should be grown from seed in the
same way as the tomato or melon. T. J..
Wester stated that less than one per
cent of a batch of Florida seedlings
bear superior fruit, and this accounts
for the scarcity of the papaya on the
market This is very likely due to
cross-fertilization with inferior or wild
varieties by moths or other flying in
sects. Such cross-fertilization can be
avoided by obtaining good varieties of
papaya from tropical localities where
they come true from seed and pollina-
ting one or two flowers bv hand, as be-
fore mentioned. In this way, if the best
plants are picked out each time, there
seems no doubt that improved strains
of papayas might be raised, just as with
tomatoes or melons.
.Smmmoyy.-G) The best kinds of pa
payas, such as the long-fruited, solid
meated kind, and the cantaloupe-shaped
Juicy variety, will yield an excellent
fruit in the winter months in South
Florida. ~ The oapaya begins to fruit
in the second year, or earlier. If a
plantation of papayas is destroyed by
wind or cold, it can be quickly and
inexpensively renewed by sowinp seed.
60 In it's digestive properties the pa
paya is almost unique among fruits. (4)
it has been successfully shipped in cold
storage from Hawaii to California. 60
Seeds of good varieties can be obtained
from the West Indies.

dunn sulphates, and the excess of salts
removed from the precipltate in d1-
alyzer. The ferment can then be dried
and weighed.
Papain differs from pepsin in that it
can act in acid, neutral or alkaline solu-
tions. 1t differs from trypsin in that it
does not produce appreciable quantities
of leucin or tyrosin Hence papain is
superior to pepsin in that it exerts its
digestive action not only in the stomach
but throughout the alimentary canal.
Cooked beef rapidly disintegrates in
acid or alkaline solutions of papain and
it acts as energetically at 70 degrees F.
as at 10 degrees F. It's action begins
at so degrees or so degrees F., and
reaches it's maximum at 155 degrees to
100 degrees F. 1t continues its activity
almost to the boiling point Of water.
Pepsin and trypsin, on the other hand,
act very slowly at 70 degrees F., are at
their best at about 100 degrees f., are
slow at 40 degrees and are destroyed
at about 100 degrees F.
The Frnit.-When perfectly ripe, the
fruit of the papaya is quite soft, but has
lost all acridity, and the milky juice has
disappeared. The Softening of the fruit
be the effect of the digesting Of the pro-
teids and starch in the unripe fruit by
the ferment in the juice The ripe fruit
may consist of about 921a per cent of
water, 8 per cent of fibre (cellulose),
31a per cent of sugar, II per cent Of
proteid and 1-1O per cent of fat. though
the fruits are better if they are allowed
to ripen perfectly on the tree, yet they

densed milk. This forms dessert con-
sidered by some Europeans who have
lived in the tropics as superior to straw
berries and cream. There is no doubt
whatever, that this dessert fruit eaten
after a good dinner greatly aids the di-
gestive process. 1t also like the fig,
acts as a gentle laxative.
The young unripe fruits are used
throughout the Antilles in the place of
squashes; the soaking and boiling quite
destroying the acridity, and doubtless the
digestive ferment as we'll But if some
of these young fruits are sl1ced and
cooked with meat, during the prelimin-
airy warming up, before the boiling point
is reached, the peptonizing action goes
on and the boiled meat is rendered ten
der.
Jared C. Smith said that as break
fast fruit the papaya has few equals.
B. O. Clark, writing of Hawaiian fruits,
said that the papaya is the most unique
fruit of the tropical garden. Taken at
meals, when ripe, with little salt, it is
not only refreshing, but great stimu-
liant and aid to digestion. The ripe
fruit makes a good papaya pie if pre-
pared like the pumpkin. Most persons
become extremely fond of the fruit. L.

WHAT AILs JAMAICA?

Jamaica, in spite of the aid of the
crown and it's fortunate geographical
position and rich soil. does not i'm
prove it's condition. OF its population,
said to be about 100000, one-half is
quite poor, and 100000 live ON II cents
a day. It's climate is among the best
in the world, and it's soil wonderfully
productive There are thousands Of
acres which have grown sugar cane
for forty years without replanting. yet
of 242. 900 acres of titled lands only
$4,000 are in cane, a decrease of 49,
600 acres in forty years.
The chief product is the banana.
and the British home government
tried to stimulate the export of that
fruit to Great Britain by substituting
the industry, but evidently Britons do
not like the banana, for in 190S-09
only about one twelfth the amount
was consumed by them that was eX-
ported to the United States. We buy
two thirds of the Jamaican exports Of
all kinds, and we sell the island near
ly one-half of what it imports, the
total of which exceeds the exports by
about 100000.
Jamaica offers a fine field for the
capitalist The soil is rich, labor is
cheap and the people are industrious.
Money for industrial or agricultural
investments may be had at 6 per
cent, one-half the rate demanded i'm
most West Indian islands. The gov
eminent is honestly and conserva-
lively managed, as is that of most
British colonies, and yet outside capt.
tai is not attracted there. What is
the answer?-Chicago Tribune.
