Diligent Effort4 Being Made to Find | New Soureea for the Material. ?' Washington.--The United States baa j topf depended for much of It* sup- j ply of hinder twine on henequen from Yuen tan. The uncertainty of the sui> ply tlnrlnjc tlio past several years has caused serious anxiety lest there should not ho enough binder twine to harvest the increasing crops of grain : In this country, and the United Btatea department of agriculture |,as been making diligent efforts to Ond new sources of supply or new regions where hinder twine fibers way be produced. The chief of the bureau of plant In dustry reports ? encouraging results. The conditions in limited ureas, ex treme southern Florida end on the larger keys, are regarded as suitable for the production of sisal andheue quen fibers, provided the cost of land and labor.Js not too high to permit auc cessful competition. Henequen has been cultivated successfully for several years in Cuhp and the plantations are being Increased, but thus far they pro duce scarcely enough fiber to supply TTfe cordago mills on the Island. Con* dltlons are regarded as favorable for the production of binder twine fibers In limited areas in Haiti and over a much larger area in southern Santo Domingo. Experimental plantings In i'orto ltlco have resulted In the estab lishment of a commercial plantation near Yauco and trial plantings near Quebrandallas and on Mona Island have given promise of growth. In the Virgin Islands excellent conditions for the cultivation of sisal have been found on St. Croix. In the Philippines the Introduction of modern fiber-clean ing muchincs has resulted in increased plantings ot' sisal and private capital has bought and installed machines to develop thr industry on a larger scale.

UNABLE TO ANALYZE DRUG Intoxicating Principles of Powerful Narcotic, "Cohoba," Remain a Mystery to Chemiats. Wlif 11 Columbus arrived at I be is land of Haiti he and his follower* were interested to observe a curious practice of (lie natives, who were ac customed on ceremonial occasions to make use of a narcotic snuff produc tive of n sort of hypnotic state, with \ is ion supposed to be supernatural. Tile tribal wizards, or priests, while under the Influence of (he drug, were accustomed to hold communication with unseen powers, and their mut terings were construed as prophecies and revelations of hidden things. The snuff w'fifc called "cohoba." and, In the form of u line powder. was In haled through a forked wooden tube, the forks being Inserted in the nos trils and the lower end of the tube buried In a little heap of the snuff, which was held on a tray of carved wood. Sometimes large snail shells were used for snuff boxes. The mimosa-like tree from which the snuff is obtained is plentiful along the banks of the'-- Orinoco and the Amazon. It grown in Haiti. Porto Rico and other islands of the Antilles. The seeds yielded by i?s pods are dried, rousted and ground to yowder, which is sometimes mixed with lime from calcined snail shell. Only recently has thM- tree been Identified by f>r. W. 10. Stafford of tlie government plant bureau the source of (lie snuff, the origin of which has hitherto been h puzzle. The chemical properties of the drug are still unknown and so its intoxicating prin ciple remains n mystery.. Frightful Experience. "What was my most thrilling expe rience V" miispd |lie ex-pilot.
