THE COCOANUT INDUSTRY
Manner In Which They Arn flnthpred
and Kxportrd to This Country.
A (treat proportion of the cocoanuts
received In this country ar still
brought here In sailing vessels. The
nuts are Imported chielly from the San
Hlas coast. TrlnldHd and points along
the Orinoco River, and are consigned
to various commission merchants
throughout the country. A number of
schooners engaged in the cocoanut
trade ply at regular Intervals between
this country and Southern ports. The
majority of these vessels dlschnrge
their cargoes at New York and from
two to four of them are to be found at
all seasons of the year.
An Interesting half hour may be
spent on the piers some morning when
the work of unloading the nuts Is un
der full headway. The nuts are drawn
from the hold in bushel baskets and
are dumped on the pier. Before being
placed into the carts which are waiting
to carry them the nuts are tested.
This Is done by knocking two nuts to
gether. If from the force of the con
cussion milk escapes from the eyes of
a nut the nut is adjudged bad and Is
thrown away. Every nut Is thug
tested before It lpaves the pier. The
nuts must also meet a certain standard
of size and weight. The best nuts, it
Is Bald, are always the heaviest. Some
times when a vessel has been delayed
by adverse winds, and the nuts as a
result have lain In the hold a long
time, enough of them are spoiled to cut
Into the captain's profits seriously.
One of the largest of cocoanut
schooners is the Leila Smith, Cnpt,
Tralnor, which left New York recently
for the San Was coast, having dis
charged a cargo of over 250,000 nuts.
The Smith makes three round trips a
year, and besides her regular cargo of
nuts, brings many barrels of Central
American turtle shells, which com
mand good prices.
Cnpt. Tralnor. when seen recently,
gave an interesting account of the way
in which the nuts are gathered and
exported to this country.
"The best nuts," he said, "are those
gathered on the San Hlas coast, and
bring all the way from $20 to $40 a
thousand. The nuts are of medium
size and are sold principally to deal
ers In desiccated cocoanut.
When picked the nuts are encased
In a thick husk. No unhusked nuts
are exported to this country. In En
gland, however, the demand for nuts
In the husk Is large. Ilritish mer
chants have long realized the commer
cial value of the cocoanut s fibrous
covering, and It is put to a variety of
usee, principally, however. In the mak
ing of pulp.
"The San Bias coast," continued the
captain, "is full of islands and keys
which are as wild and as uncivilized
as any locality in the world. We work
along, collating cocoanuts at most of
the Important Islands, until we get to
the gulf of Oarien. By that time we
have a full cargo and are ready for
home.
"The San Bias cocoanut trade is en
tirely carried on by Indians. The
palm trees grow wild and the natives
mnke no attempt at cultivating the
growth of the nuts. The trees yield In
January, February, March and April,
but nuts are gathered at all seasons
of the year. The natives are a copper
colored race and are not warlike. They
will not, however, tolerate the pres
ence of a white man in their villages.
White men prospecting for gold occa
sionally pass through the country, and
as long as they mind their own busi
ness they are not molested. But if
they show any disposition to Bettle
down they are politely requested to
move on.
"The natives are not Bharp at a bar
gain, nor do they attempt to drive
one. They sell two nuts for 5 cents,
and this standard applies to any num
ber of nuts from two to 2,000. They
could not be induced to either raise or
reduce this price.
"The Indians have their tribal chiefs,
and exhibit many of the characteristics
which mark our more savage North
American redskins. They love beads
and other finery, and we always find it
profitable to carry a load of looking
glasses, brass rings and ribbons which
we give to the natives in return for
what they deem their equivalent In
nuts. They will give more nuts for
a plush bound lookingglass than you
could purchase with $5.
"The natives are eager for education
and especially desire that missionaries
be sent to them. It certainly would
be an excellent field for gome mission
society to work in, for the people
learn readily and are sincere, simple
and honest.
"Although part and parcel of the Co
lomblan Government they pay no taxes
that I am aware of and have no voice
in the government. All they want is
to be let alone and the government ac
commodate them."
Calf Choked to Death on a Kitten.
A very rcinnrknlile story comes from
Somerset, O. Scott Ilarltt, the lending
merchant of the village, hud a tine
Jersey calf, which he placed In n stall
In his barn and was bringing it up
by hand, the little animal being sup
plied with the best of milk for its
sustenance. A cat had a litter of kit
tens in the manger and the calf en
deavored to swallow one of the kittens
and was found dead in the stall with
the kitten fast in lis throat.

Lamps of All Ages.
The story of lamps from Herodotus
down to 1S30 Is not one of develop
ment. In principle, nnd form they re-
dlestick pedestals and the round tin
"en as were recently rescued by the
author from the garret rubbish of old
Bucks County. And before Herodo-
tus, as we follow the lamp back into
tne tombs of the old world, we find
the boat-shaped form of earthenware
preceding the noat-siiaped form or Iron
and possibly even that of bronze.
The chalk cup lamp found by Canon
Oreenwell In the neolithic flint mines
at lii imes Graves. Kngland. perhaps
the oldest wick floating lamp in the
world, Is not essentially different from
the oyster shell filled with lard and
provided with wicks that may be found
among Virginia negroes to-day. The
Egyptian. Grecian. Phoenician and
Koman lamps, as they have been found
in the tombs, and as we see them
In the museums, are not unlike the lard
lamps that were most In use early
in the nineteenth century. Then crude
grease gave way to sperm oil and lard
oil, with especial adaptations of the
were dangerous: and kerosene, with
other improvements in the lamps and
'refinements in the oil that enabled it
to give the most perfect artificial light
yet found, and to keep up the fight for
quality with gas and electricity all
these having come in within the life
time of men still among us.
Hesldes the old lamps our ancestors
had candles, molded when the nrice
of tin, the material for the molds, did
not forbid the luxury, and before them
tallow dips; a suspended wick was dip-
ped Into a pot of hot tallow, on a cold
day, and the operation was repeated
till layer after layer of grease har
dened, and the candle was thick
enough. These candles were, however,
I troublesome In hot weather, on account
of their propensity to yield to the tcm
perattire and fall over. "Who shall

! older than molding, when we know
that thev molded candles In
