A NEW FRUIT

A new subtropical fruit is destined

the alligator pear, referred to by the

fourishes.

the laurel family, varies in weight
from one to two pounds, and has
firm, marrow-like pulp of delicious
flavor Mr.. E. Page Wilson, an au-
thority on subtropical fruits, says:

above the amount she had year ago.
The $2,O00,OOO,O0O in the United
States Treasury weighs 100000

about 1000 horses, in a procession
thirty miles long, to move it. If it
were to be packed on the backs Of the
American Army and each man was to
carry fifteen pounds of it, there would
be the necessity of increasing the
army to half million men. If it
were loaded into freight cars it would
require 1875 of them carrying capa-
city weight, to bear it. Four hun
dred thousand of Uncle Sans sons
and daughters might be handed these
19-pound sacks of coin, each contain
