Ocllo, the famous character who ira
dtion says, came forth from mysteri-
Gus Lake Titicaca To teach the world
the art of spinning and weaving. Ac-
companying the pouch of leaves, or
Chuspa, as they called it, was a small
gourd known as the Popora, containing
lime the leaves had been carefully
plucked from the divine plant" coca,
while the lime served to make them
more pleasing to the taste. The two
producing element of wonderful power
subjects of the Incas who thus forti-
fie dthemselves by chewing coca leaves
believed their bodies possessed super
human endurance.
The leaves were used as offerings to
the sun; to make the smoke at sacri-
fees; tied up in packages they We're
thrown into streams and the faithful
followed them for days as a demon
stration of their fidelity; and at death
supply of the leaves was always
placed with the body of the deceased"
The original home of the coca plant
is in parts of Colombo, Ecuador, Peru,
Bolivia, and Brazil, while it is now cul-
tivated in the West Indies, Ceylon, In
dia, Java, etc. The plant ErythroXylon
Coca somewhat resembles the black
thorn bush of the United States; and
grows to a height of or s feet, accord
ing to altitude and climatic conditions
In southern Colombia, at an altitude
of 5000 feet, and in some other sec
tions of the Andes, it occasionally
measures twelve feet in height, but as
elevation increases the bush degener-
ates into a small shrub. The branches
are straight and the leaves are green,
thin, Opaque, oval, and tapering at the
ends. The pretty little flowers form in
clusters on short stems. The towering
season is followed by the production of
small red berries. When grown on the
coca plantations, or Cocales, the seeds
are Sown in December and January on
sun. When the plant reaches Il height
of feet it is transplanted to larger
spaces, and it becomes productive in
about two years and remains 50 for 40
years or even longer. The leaves are
gathered by pluckers who are skilled
in their work. Both hands are used and
usually only the best leaves are gath
ed. These are carried to sheds and
and spread upon stone beds or hard
ground to dry. The drying process is
completed in about ten hours, and the
best leaves are worth from 35 to 45
cents at the seaport. In 1912 Bolivia
exported $500, 900 worth of coca leaves,
while Peru, where cocaine itself is
manufactured, exports annually about
$350,000 of that product.

FALACY OF FIGURES
They Hold True Until Mixed With
lmaqination.


Every once in u while some scientist
comes forth with figures to prove that
at the present rate of increase, the
population of the United States will be
200 to the square foot in 2O14 A. d.
Or that, if things go on as they are
now going, there will be no children at
all born in 1899.
Or that in a certain time there will
be more insane people in the country
than sane; and the sane will be locked
up in asylums.
Or that in a definite number of years
every house in town will be a dance
than there are people.
Or that tuberculosis, cancer and the
hookworm will use up the entire popu-
lation and go after the dogs and cats.
Or that, with the present rate of in
crease in automobile business, every
human being in 1896 will have three
machines, and there will be no room in
the streets to move; two deep, all
stalled.
Or that, considering the trend of
things in Washington, we shall have a
king or dictator in little while.
Or that, taking capital and labor for
our statistics it will not be long before
two or three generations own all the
money, and the millions will be gnaw-
ing bones.
Or that religion is dying out, and at
certain date the last church will be
converted into a livery stable.
Statistics are grand. Take 'em with
liberal dose Of imagination, and they
are about the scariest things you can
find.
The one thing that the figure jug
glers, from Malthus down to the trust
buster leave out Of consideration is
| this:
That when anything in human af-
fairs gets to be about 50 big, it be-
comes topheavy, and falls.
Human institutions last about 50
long; then they tOpple. That is history.
Have you read the record of ecclesias-
ticism and how it bred the heresies
that gnawed it, or have you read the
stories of Caesar and Napoleon and
their empires? If 50, never fear about
military preparedness; it will grow 50
monstrUus some day that ii will just
naturally go To pieces.
Also. don't lose any sleep over the
| growth of trusts. Secretary of Com
merce Redfeld, in his last annual re-
port made some common sense points
| that ought To cure our hysteria of sta
tisticS. He said, in substance, that:
There is limit to the efficiency OF
large combinations. Economics of man
agemcnt do good deal To reduce the
cost of productions; and a large work
ing capital should make it possible tt
| adopt the most progressive methods ol
| production. But after Il point, the or
ganizatiun begins to lose that alert
of commercial success.
| In other words, combination is auto
matically self busting" either 10y
stimulating Independent competition
or by arousing public antagonism, ol
by accommodating boncheads and son:
of bOneheads in its management, or 10y
simply getting too fat and heavy fol
its feet of clay"

anything is not eternal. After a while
it develops its own cure. DIR. Franz
