KAISER'S AFRICAN FARM.
Other Ventures in Which He Is
Financially Interested.

Berlin Correspondence London Standard.
The German emperor has just bought
two sheep farms in German southwest
Africa for f4,S0O. The export of wool is
at present small. but it Is believed that
in the course of time this will become a
valuable source Of income to the col
onists, and the kaiser desires to encour-
age this branch of colonial activity.
In choosing the farms his majesty acted
on the advice of Herr Heckel, a gentle
man attached to the imperial court, who
is visiting his. brothers ranch near Wind
hoek
In acquiring two farms In South Africa
the German emperor is finding further
outlet for those business qualities winch.
had he been born to commerce instead or
for the kaiser a high position among mer-
chant princes It may not be generally
known that his majesty Is already the
owner Of porcelain and tile factory at
Cadinen, in east Prussia
This commercial venture mas proved
very successful owing to the kaiser
active participation in the management.
No detail has proved too insignificant for
him to master, and the emperor is not
above recommending personally his own
wares and finding new markets Tor the
Cadinen products
These wares are on sale at shop In
Berlin called The Royal Hohenzollern
Stores" and at one time 1t was his
majestys custom to pay visits of in
spection to houses and buildings where
the Cadinen tiles had been used.
The emperor is a keen agriculturist
and all the~atest practical developments
of this important science find illustrations
on the farms which form an important
part of the royal estates In Silesia. His
majesty is also financially interested In
the Hamburg-American line and almost
invariably attends the launches of new
liners from the Vulkan yard. One OF
these, the Imperator, is to take water this
month, and the German emperor has
again sisnified his intention OF being
present.

Banana Cloth.
From Cuba Opportur tiles.

rom tuna onp0rt tiles.
1t has been left to the Chinese to
teach us how the tons of banana fiber
thrown on the rubbish heap every year
can be converted into banana cloth and
sold at most remllnerative price.
The process of manufacture is very
simple. One-year-old plants are selected
and the stock is unrolled and steamed
over caidrons of boiling water till soft.
IL is a simple matter then to remove the
green outer skin by passing strips of the
stalk through an instrument provided
with couple Of blunt blades which act
as ScraperS.
The fiber thus obtained is placed in
cloth and pounded in order to drive out
excess moisture and is next cleaned and
twisted into yarn for weaving. Banana
cloth Is said TO be eminently suitable for
tropical wear. and is very durable. AT
present the price would seem TO be almost
proAloitive. as roll of banana cloth five
yards long and one yard wide sells for
about 1910. AS the enterprise is brand
new one. high prices are to be expected,
but they are sure to right themselves
as the demand for this Kind of cloth
grows and the supply endeavors 10 keep
pace with IT.
