OF THE GLOVE
MOST OF THE WORLDS CROP
COMES FROM ZANZIBAR.
Yield Varies Greatly, but Another and
Steady Product of the Sultanate
Is Corpra, Finding Ready
Market In France.

The Sultanate of Zanzibar, just of
four islands Zanzibar, Pemba, Malta
and Lamu This sultanate produces
perhaps nine-tenths of the cloves Of
the world The climate and soil of
the two islands of Zanzibar and Penn
ba seem peculiarly adapted to the
growing of this important article.
Many Of the trees are 80 years old, al
though most Of the Glove plantations
on Zanzibar island date from 1872,
when a terrific cyclone swept over it,
doing fearful damage to the trees.
" Glove trees begin to bud about JAN
uary or February, and the picking Is
done any time after July, continuing
for about four months, as the trees
ripen irregularly. When the cloves
have been picked they are exposed on
mats to the sun for six or seven days,
and are then sent to the custom house
where the government extracts an ex-
port duty of 25 per cent.
The crop is a very uncertain one,
heavy yield one year, and compare
lively nothing the next. The bulk Of
the cloves are bought by American,
German and Indian firms, and are sent
to Bombay, Hamburg, London and
New York. Most of the cloves are
used in distilling oil of cloves, which
in turn is employed in the manufac-
ture of drugs, perfumes, confectioner.
les, etc.
Another great product of Zanzibar
Is copra, which is the dried interior of
the cocoanut. The cocoanut tres grow
throughout the sultanate without cul-
tivation; land is sold by the number
of cocoanut trees on it. A tree will
yield from 100 to 12O nuts a year; the
crop is gathered about every four
months. The nuts are split open and
dried in the sun for several days:
when the product is ready for ship
ment. France consumes most Of the
copra, which Is used In the manufac-
ture of soap, oil cakes, etc.
Approached from the ocean the
city of Zanzibar presents beautiful
picture; the snow-white Arab houses
are set against a background of soft
tropical green; lying close to the
shore are the hundreds OF native
dhows with their quaint sails, while
farther out, in the deep waters, are
the foreign ships. A prominent build
ing on the waterfront is the palace
Of the sultan, which suggests a hotel
at one of the Atlantic watering places,
with its wide verandas and square Ian.
tern. Back of the palace are the re-
mains OF the old fort erected by the
Portuguese, and here and there are
to be seen the flags of the consulates
of the various powers, conspicuous
among them being the stars and
stripes
Ali bin Hamoud, the present sultan
of Zanzibar, is young man. He sue
ceded his father in 1902, when but II
years old, and until his majority the
sultanate was under regent. The
sultan was educated in England, and
speaks English fuently, as we'll as
French, Arabic and Swahili. He is
a great traveller, and spends much of
his time in Europe; he has a town
palace, and several country places, to
some one of which he usually retires
during the hot season. The sultanate
Is a British protectorate under the for
aign office

ROOsEVELTS POSITION IN
REGARD TO THE RECALL

In the assembly chamber at the Mas
sachusetts state house in Boston Mon
day afternoon, Col. Theodore Roose-
welt, who will contest with President
Taft for the republican nomination for
president, expounded the doctrine that
the people should, by referendum, pass
upon the validity Of statutes enacted
into law by the legislatures and pro-
jected his plan for limited recall of
judicial decisions. In opening his ad-
dress Colonel Roosevelt said:
"Our system OF government is
confessed failure, unless the people
are to be trusted to govern them
selves.
My position is that if the people
know enough to make the constitu-
ton, they know enough in the last re-
sort to say what 1t was that they
meant when they made 1t.
1.-The people after due deliberation
are to be and must be the masters and
their representatives. their servants.

advocating the recall Of judges, IL

clare unconstitutional 1 refer spe-
cifcally to laws passed in the collec-

by the governor, is declared unconsti-

choose. to pass final judgment on the
proposition.

court has decided that the legislature
plus the executive has exceeded the
power granted under the constitution.
that the people shall themselves have
the right to say whether their repre-
sentatives in the legislature and the
executive office were right or whether
their representatives in the court were

mo vote could be had save at a regular
election not less than six months dis

made. The people would have two
years time to discuss and deliberate
upon the proposition"

NEW JERSEY HAS TEXT BOOK
Children Are Taught to Read BY
Linking Names With Objects
Principle 10 Not Different.

A New Jersey woman has designed
a new kind Of textbook to teach small
children how to read. Its general
principal is the same as that Of all
books Of its kind. but 1t goes a step
farther. For instance. page IL d.
vided into four parts and each part
has the picture of an animal in II,
with the name Of the animal printed
beneath. Thus far 1t is like the old
style book. in that It teaches the
child the name by association with the
object. There are separate sheets of
paper, however, with perforations
along which they can be torn in part
and bearing also the names Of the
various animals in the illustrations.
The child. therefore. looks at the pic
