Tho thick husk and the bard shell of tho coronnut aro well adapted to preserve j its germinating power while It Is liclng carried by the winds mid the waves to ! soiuo distant shore. Hence the oooonuut palm "waves Its graceful fronds over the emerald Island of the 1'nolflo, fringes the West Indian shores, mid from the Philip pines to Madagascar, crowns tho ntolU or girds the seaboard of the Indian ocean." It is a bountiful tree and "n joy forever, " because It yields n lnrgo vnriety of useful products. To the inhabitants of troplonl countries the ooconmit Is nn Important nrtiolc of food.

Tho hard shell of the nut Is fashioned Into otitis, ladles, spoons, beads, bottle, knife handles, etc., nnd is often beautifully polished nud elab orately carved. The terminal Imd, or "palm onliuage," Is nn excellent vegotnble when cooked. Indeed, It Is considered n dellcncy, but it is seldom used because lt rcniovnl neces sarily onuses the dontli of the tree.
