IMPROVE MILK OF coAcoANUT
South African Natives Show Real In
genuity In Their Treatment Of
This Important Food.

South Africa natives along the
Orange river have a way Of produc-
ing "milk," which, primitive as it
is, vies in ingenuity with the method
of those who believe IN the synthetic
production of what the Journalist,
hard up for a synonym, has been
known to call 'Sthe tactical fiuid."
After cutting the top from o cocoa
nut the native places the nut over
hot ashes 80 that the warmth may
cause the fat and 'buttero contained
in the husk to be absorbed by the
milk. This changes the milk quail
ity and gives it palatable taste. In
order to deal with several nuts at a
time, the natives construct rough
"holders" from old iron hoops. The
ashes are placed under the grating
and the nuts set in it. Obviously
there must be no actual fire beneath
the nuts, or they would be burned
away and the milk be lost.

ALLAH HEARD HIS FOLLOWER
Arab Rescued From What Must
Have Seemed to Him AZ Almost
Hopeless Situation.

Soldering in the Sahara has Its
humorous as well as its tragic adj
ventures, however. An amusing tale
is told Of an old Arab, the father Of
one Of General Laperrine's men. He
was antelope hunting, and when half
dead with thirst he reached a we'll
forty-fve feet deep. At the bottom
he could see the delicious water, but,
like Tantalus, could not reach it.
Unlike the mythical martyr,
though, he was not chained to the
rocks, and as the well was not very
wide he did not hesitate to let him
self down part Of the way, and final
" fell into the pool. 1t was quite
impossible for him to get out, but,
like a good fatalist, he waited in his
bath, praying Allah to send some
travellers by. In these regions weeks
and sometimes months pass without
the wells being visited, but next day
fortune favored him by sending some
Of the French camel corps that way,
who we're not a little astonished at
hearing a voice from beneath. "Good
day, Syrians" Gas the Arabs call the
Saharian troops), "you might send
me down a stronger rope to climb
up with" He had recognized at
once the pattern of the Spahi rope,
and knew to whom he was talking.
