TREES GIVE MllKLIKE JUICE
Tropics Provide Pretty Fair Substi-
tute for the Animal Product In
Use in Northern Chimes.

In British Guiana and the West
Indies. particularly on the banks Of
the River Demerara, there grows II
tree known TO the natives as the hya-
hya, which yields from it's bark and
plth juice slightly richer and
thicker than cows milk. The tree Is
about forty feet high and eighteen
inches in circumference when full
grown, and the natives use its juice
as we use milk, II being perfectly
harmless and mixing well with water.
The Cingalese have a tree-they
call 1t kiriaghuma-which yields a
fluid in all respects like milk; while
in the forests OF Para grows tree
called the masSenodendron, which
gives a milklike juice. II can be kept
for an indefinite time and shows no
tendency TO become sour.
On the other hand, certain trees in
the valleys Of Aragua and In Cauagua
yield a similar fluid, which, when ok
posed to the air, begins to form into
kind of cheese, which very soon
becomes sour
In the Canary Islands there is n
tree called tabaya dolce, Of which the
milk, thickened into "A jelly, is con
sidered delicacy.

Kyoto. in the I'll district, suggests by
its name is relation TO Emperor
