OLIVES PLANTED BY CONvICTS
Magnificent Plantations Result of Work
Begun to Furnish Occupation for
Malefactors in Jail.

Olives have struck q climate they
approve of in South Australia. The
trees are the hardest possible grow
ers, require practically no attention,
and seem imperyiOus To the disease
that affect fruit-trees. They have been
rather in disfavor in the towns, owing
to their SlOwneSS in coming to ma
turity, hut owners of full-grown trees
have found them a great money-pro-
Queer of late years. The olive doesn't
produce berries until its twelfth year.
Consequently landowners are shy Of
planting for commercial purposes.
There is n movement on foot to get
the government to subsidize growers
at So much an acre for the first ten
years. The oil has almost trebled In
price the las. few years, and the ber-
rieS are In demand at 500 Il ton. Fifty
seven years ago the then sheriff Of the
Adelaide Jail, looking for a job for his
charges, put them on preparing the
ground and planting olive trees, and
the result today is magnificent and
profitable plantation in the vicinity Of
the Jail. Hence the term Gone
pickin' olives" when a sport refers TO
man who has been sent along for q
light sentence.

Arctic Cold.

Boards do not freeze except where
the moisture from the breath is con-
verted into snow; but the color
glands are rendered somewhat torpid
by the cold, and dark boards gradually
become lighter. until after a while
they seem entirely changed in color.
Another curious fact about the cold
Of the Arctic regions is that when a
person stops walking or working In
any way whereby the feet get exer-
else, the sole of the foot loses all sense
of feeling.
In all extremely cold lands, the
moisture exhaled from the body con-
denses into small, hard crystals which
make quite bit of noise as one walks
about.
