work of digging holes for telegraph
and electric Service poles is now at an
end, Says Scientific American. At least,
there has been evolved a gasoline
driien earth -boring machine which
makes an average boring time per tibia
of one and one-half to two minutes.
The equipment is mounted on a torso -
drawn truck, and is operated by two
men. In Ordinary soil it meintains
an average a 100 holes per day each

In diameter. The equipment consists
of a truck, which carries a gas -aline -

COCOA

Cocoa, more properly ternted "ca-
cao," grows on a tree of low stature,
seldom over ewenty-five feet high, ox
the cultivated plantations of certain
West Indian Islands, The leaves are
large, smooth and glossy, eliptic aid
tapering in form, growing principally
at the ends of branches, yet sometimes
springing directly from the main
trunk. The flowers are small ande
occur eh numerous clueters on the
main branches and the trunk; in fact,
this is ts very marked peculiarity,
which gives the matured fruit the ap-
pearance of being artificially attached
to tbe tree.
And now we come to what gives us
our cup of cocoa or our bar of choco-
late. Generally only a single fruit is
matured from each cluster of flowers.
When ripe the fruit is a food of eliptic
form, from seen to ten inches in
length and from,
three to four and a
half inches in diameter. It has a
hard, thick, leathery hidelike rind of a
rich purplish yellow color, the outside
being rough and. marked with ten
very distinct lonetitudinal ribs or ele-
vations. The interior of the fruit has
fie cells, each containing a row of
from five to twelve Beetle imbedded in
a soft delicate pink acid pulp. Each
fruit thus contains from twenty to
fifty or more seeds, which constitute
the raw beans oe coremerce,
tOocoa is a foodstuff of long stand-
ing. The value of cocoa was appre-
ciated in its native ceuntry long bee
fore the discovery of America by Go-
hunbus. • Indeed the Spaniards found
the natives of Mexico using a bever-
age known as "chotolath," meaning
chouo (cocoa) and lath (water). And
cocoa is by nomeans the monopoly of
any one island or country; there are
numerous varieties of cocoa, each is-
land or country in tropical climates
haying a different species. Trinidad
•is the largest cocoa producing island
in the West Indies.
Cocoa comes into bearing when
abciut Sive years old, the email pink
lloWers and the aucceeding large pods
being borne directly on the trunk and
main branches. The pods when ripe
are carefully picked, broken open and
the oliray mass of conekinedbseeds and
thetr enVeloping mucilaginous pelp
eXTUliltebtleans are next fermented or
"sWeated," often in special houses
conetrgeted for the purpose, or by
Plaeing theni in heaps and covering
them witb. leaves or earth or In bas-
kets or barrels lined with banana
leaves. (During fermentation the
beans should be stirred once a day of
oftener.
The time of fermentation variee
veries from one to twelve or even
more days. Pale colored beans usual-
ly require less time than ' the deep
purple and bitter kinds. The process
of fernientation destroys the mucilage,
and the seeds lose to eome degree their
bitter taste. Their color also changes.
Fermentation is not universally prac-
tised, the purple color and 'bitter taste
of unfermented cocoa being wanted in
some markets.
After fermentation the beans rnay
or may not be washed, this method
varying in different countries. In any
event they Must be.dried and "cured."
When climatic conditions' are favor-
able they are spread in 'thin layers on
stone drying flats and exposed to the
sun.• Sliding roofs or other methods
of Meickey affercling shelter are (Male -
able in case of showers, extessive heat
and for protection at night. As a reel -
tee of fact, artificial drying and vari-
ious patterns of drying houses are
now resorted to, Instead of the slower,
nateral way.
Polishing the beans gives them a
brighter appearance and rentovea mil-
dew, remnants of dried mueilage, and
so on. This may be done by "dancing
the coeoa," which means the treading
of a heap with the bare feet or by the
use of special ,polishing nittehinee. The
cocoa is then ready for shipment, be -
Ing usually packed -in bags for that
purpose.
` In the manufactuer of cocoa the
beano are *leaned and started to re.
move foreign bodices of all kinds, and

Now the beans are gently crushed
and winnowed,whereby the light shell's
are removed, and after removal by

being a constituent of numerous po-

long periods witbut becoming rancid
After the extraction of the fat the
resulting mass is ground up fine and
the powder is then ready for use in
the ordinaiy way. iany preparations
on the market are, of course, not pure
cocoa, but contain admixtures a vari-
ous starchy and other bodies. The
shells of the beans separated by win-

sometimes used as a substitute for

daring in our won revolutionary war.
That was the capture and burning of
two British ships at Alexandria, Va.,
by a squadron of cavalry, made up ot
Virginia patriots home on furlough
from Valley Forge during the winter
of 1777-78. This account is preserved'
by a family of the tome of Winterise,
descended from the Alexander family
(from which theetown got its name),
who were leaders in that daring raid.
At that time Alexandria was the
principal port of uorthern Virginia,
for the deep water at its wharves per-
mitted wry seagoing vessel of that day
to lie alongside. In February, 1778,
two English ships, tinder convoy of a'
man-of-war, tied up at the wharf at
the foot of King street. They wanted
to buy, beg or steal tobacco, .the sup-
ply of which the war in Virginia had
much diminished.
Scattered at their country homes
within a short distance of Alexandria.
were 300 troopers. Washington had
personally enlisted these men on ac-
count -of their swilful horsemanship,
They had come haele to northern Vire
gfnia from Valley Forge that Wash-
ington might have fewer men and
animals to feed.
Quietly assembling on the outskirts
of the town one dark night, the squad-
ron divided into two parties, ono under
the leadership of Capt. Alexander and
the other under command of Lieut.
Smoot. The men made their way by
side streets and lanes to the wharf,
With a yell the two squadrons gal-
loped down the wharf, and before the
astonished seettinele had tint° to tire
they swept up the gangplanks, cut
down those who did not flee and
securely imprisoned the crew and
officers below.
A hurried parley, in which the
American raiders. informed their
prisoners that they intended to set fire
to the ships infinedately, led to a,

Spain the Thanaros contributed much
toward, achieving the independence of
Venezuela and New Granada. There
is related a story of an occasion when
it was necessary for Bolivar's, army to
cross the- Apuio to engage Morillo. But
Bolivar had no boatsand the Apure
at this point velele and deep.
The Spa.nisii" flotilla was guarding
the river opposite to the patriot forces.
Bolivar was in despair. 'Turning 0*
Paez, he said "I would give the world
to have the Spanish flotilla; without
it I can never cross the river."
"It shall be yours in an hour," re-
plied Pam
Selecting 300 of his Llanero lancers,.
all distinguished for strength and
bravery, he said, pointing to the gun-
boats, "We must have these flecherae
or die. Let those follow who please."
Spureit hip horse he dashed into
the rirer,and swam toward the flotilla.
The Llaneros followed with their
lances hi Oa hands, now encouraging
thee home by swimming beside them
and patting their necks, now shouting
to mare away the crocodiles, of which
there were hundreds. At last they
reached the other side and sprang from
their horses backs on board the boats

tured the entire flotilla.

ca, was selected as holding this dis-
tinction.
