The desert without the-cactus would be like "Hamlet" with Hamlet left out There, are something like five million square miles of desert scattered about the globe and it takes about a thousand species of cacti to go round. ]. •" . But the traveler does not have j*o visit all the deserts of earth to And variety jof species. Down on the border line between "T e tnited States and Mexico there are famous -icaetus areas, where this curious and interesting -jprant may be found in bewildering variety." At , »ne end of the scale the desert wayfarer sees Khe giant saguarosf 50. 60 feet high, fluted, col- Simnal forms with branching limbs and curving Jines. Close to the other end is the dreaded cho.vas little round patches of glistening, frosty £v^ite- And tinder every bunch are the discarded ^Joints, like little frosty pine cones covered with '? *pines- ow desert travelers claim that the choya • t lis alive and leaps at man and horse.

Its barrel-shaped mass contains a fluid ,• resembling water; and It Is cool. Then, again, fthere 1s the cactus that furnishes "peyote"--a 8'. .stimulant of which the Indians are so fond that to couaiKjy */tt> mri nyjcuM Mexico; Laredo, Texas; Miami, Florida, and elM» where. Cactus plants are certainly not ornamental tfc the ordinary sense, but beauty !s Relative. A' forest of giant cactus trees stretching mile after mile in the desert with nothing to rival them may be decidedly attractive. In Mexico the cactus ornaments the national banner and Is stamped on many of the older coins, while in Arizona and New Mexico it has been selected as the state flower. The cactus family Is noted for the magnificence ^in<rro.»o 4.u v.^ ^ flowers, which are usually large, often wSJS tJ?g , Of passing legislation to -• fragrant, wide-spreading or tubular, diurnal or control Its use. Again, there are captl that fur- Aiish delicious fruits. Some of the cacti are good leatlng. Some are used for the manufacture of » variety of articles ranging from toothpicks to ,,|chairs. One kind of cactus has been used for iages as a hair brush. .>*% In short, the cactus is almost as useful to. the .American of the Southwest and to the Mexican ap $he buffalo used to be to the plains Indian. It « its no wonder that the cactus is seen on the ilag %**>f Mexico and many of the old-time coins and ,>:3lthat Is the state flower of more than one of Pl ^Jlthe American states of; the Southwest ^ V}"•/?> Manifold as are the present uses of t r cafcftas, here is every indication that its usefulness will f'f*lextended by the evolution and ^development special varieties. For 'efcaujplfir^nere Is probv*' t jably a future for the spineless cactus as a food -for cattle. Any forage that can be grown on -the desert without Irrigation and has a food Value something like half that of alfalfa is bound to have a future. The world Is presumably to " , <*iear further from Luther Burbank's experiments. V - Dr. P. L. Sherman, experimenting with spineless (varieties, found that they were rich in sugar and * "were fitted for the manufacture of cheap candy. , .It Is also easy to imagine conditions a few yean (hence under which it will be worth whil* to develop the fruits of the cactus family. So, all In all, the cactus family ts one of the f most interesting In the world, to say nothing of its t> Value, both actual and potential. Dr. William 'A. Murrill of the New York Botanical garden lias written for the Scientific American Magazine •a most interesting article outlining the many uses of cacti. The article is illustrated from ;photographs by courtesy of the United States • (National museum. Says Doctor Murrill: v . It is estimated that there are three billion £ acres of desert land In the world; and, If these • J -unattractive and unproductive wastes are ever ' <o "blossom like the rose," it will be the cacti ' w>r plants similarly adapted to desert conditions ; v that will furnish the flowers. Desert plants were ' Mke other plants once, but the vital necessity §•jfor preserving moisture gradually wrought a won- :' (derful change In their appearance and structure. • Few of the cacti now have any conspicuous ^4 leaves, their place being taken by flattened V ; ?Jolnts, or pads, which are modified portions of |V- .nthe stem; and even the sap has become mucllagi- " inous or milky, preventing the loss of water to fthe hot, dry air by which these plants are conj-. - itlnually surrounded. Spines of various shapes ^ mnd sizes serve to protect them against grazing ' ^ ^animals that are often killed when driven by ^ '.^hunger and thirst to devour these plants in spite ' ,jof their spines. The few forms of spineless cacti #Y*f!that occur In the wild state always frequent ' ' ijrocky ledges and other situations that are Inac-; t . "cesslble to most animals, if not to all. ^ The number of species of cacti recognized Is - ilarge, amounting to about one thousand, and half •iof these are found in Mexico. They vary from Itiny plants no bigger than one's finger to trees K}0 feet in height, presenting all manner of queer ~<and interesting shapes and furnishing the botanp;- t Hst with no end of knotty problems. Extensive. .^collections of living plants may be seen under ' jglass at the New York Botanical garden, the De- "£ .1 ipnrtment of Agriculture In Washington, and the ' JMissouri Botanical garden in St Louis; while 'others In the open are to be found at Riverside! (California; Tucson, Arizona s^Mesilla Park. New ' -/a-' nocturnal, evanescent or* persistent, and vary. In v J*"01- from white, yellow, or orange to rose-col- °ml' <,e^P"red- or P«rP'e. The calyx and corolla ate notrnflistinct, but the numerous ramens In v the center are often differently colore^i and lend an added charm to the flower. The fruit Is often brilliantly colored, highly ornamental as well as . .useful, and' lasts for. a long time. „ The cactus plant has indirectly added mach to the attractiveness of certain manufactured -rgarments by supporting the cochineal insect, from which the famous cochineal dye is made. This lasect occurs on a species of Opuntia, the cophineai fig, and Its near relatives, along with tot&er mites and scale-insects, but It Is so minute ami difficult to distinguish with the unaided eye that it was long thought to be the seed or bloom Of the plant Itself. Leeuwenhoeek, In 1703, dis- _ covered that Jt was the female of an insect (Coc- $•8 cacti), Which never moved from a certain spot on the cactus, the male being the active member of the family, but colorless and therefore nseless. These Insects are harvested three times during the dry season, being swept from the cacti into wide-mouthed bags' with stiff brushes and killed in boiling water or hot ovens, after which they are dried in the sun and put up in small packages for the market. In this thoroughly dried condition 70,000 insects are required in - make a pound. w The ornamental value of cacti, although Important, is not uppermost in the mind of the gverage inhabitant of arid regions. The trunks furnish him material for houses, corrals, fir#, wood, etc., and, when planted close together, they form hedges that are lasting and impervious. It is here behind a shield of thorns that the little cactus wren finds a refuge from hawks where •he can build her nest and rear her ypung In . arifeTy. The cactus trunk Is composed of a wood a**e, or skeleton, surrounded hy pulp. From this skeleton table legs, chairs, napkin rings, canes veneering, etc., are made. The spines also are useful, serving as needles, toothpicks and pins for mending leather or cloth. Some are curved and supply ready-made fish-hooks, while the straight ones are bound to silvers of bone to form very efficient barbs. One species of cactus bears fruits that resemble great chestnut bnr% and these have been need by the Indians for ages as hair brushes. The pulpy parts of the stems and fruits are highly valuable as food both for man and beast. The young pads, or joints, may be cut Into strips and cooked like string beans, or boiled as preens, or stewed like okra, or fried like eggplant, or pickled, or made into sweetmeats like citron. "Tuna cheese" Is made from, the fruits of certain cacti, while the Juice of red fruits is often used In coloring ices, jellies and candies, and even in Water-color painting. The traveler who "knows how" need never lack fbf water where there are" cacti. He njay cot off the top of a barrel-cactus, pound up the pulp and sqaeeze the water from it Into his drinking cup. He will find it slightly salty and bitter, bat clear and rather palatable. Or he may sup* port a cactus trunk on stones, build a fire under euch end. and make a hole In the middle, from Which the water will gradually trickle. The Indian traveler also uses the milky juice of Mamillarla for healing cracks In his feet tor Internal complaints when on long journe; One of the most curious and Interesting of the •* cacti Is the "mescal button." or "peyote." which Is a strong stimulant and allays all hunger and thirst and fatigue foe the time being. The Tarahumare Indians and Hulcholes of Mextco make a cult of the "peyote," going on long pilgrimages In search ot"It and employing it both medicinally and religiously as a cure for all bodily Ills and a powerful aid to abstinence. In certain parts of Mexico, Sicily and elsewhere, the natives live almost entirely on fresh cactus fruits when they are In season. They grow them In gardens and orchards and often gather them at dawn when they are coolest, although their temperature Is always below that of the surrounding air. They are al^o used In salads, preserves, pickled with lemonsj, dried, fermented as a beverage, inade/ Into a syrup called "tuna honey," a thin paste galled "melcocha," or a thick paste similar to gukva Jelly. Even the seeds are sometimes dried and saved to use when the fruits are gone. ------ The Barhnrtos gooseberry, used for tarts and sauces In the West Indies.

E. Stone. Judge Weaver Imposed a fine of $5(J0 and a sentence | of 90 days on Burchek for violation of an injunction - to restrain him from the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquor. The ease will be taken to the Supreme court. It ylll be the first test of the validity of the new prohibition act. Attorney Stone said he would base his appeal from Judge Weaver's decision ou the contention that the law was unconstitutional. The question of the constitutionality df the act. attorneys declare, brings up the point that the provisions of the state act are based primarily on the Volstead act upheld by the United States Supreme court. Chicago.--Lake Calumet is to be j turned into a great new inland Industrial harbor for Chicago. This is an important part of the plan to make Chicago the central shipping point between Europe and the Middle West via the new St. Lawrence river canals. The city council has adopted an^ordlnance for digging a deep channef 'if third of a mile wide and two and a half miles long^gtraight through the middle of the present lake. A dtoen slips will branch out from this channel. The remainder of Lake Calumet Is to be filled In. The new-made land is expected to more than pay the cost of the huge undertaking, and ft will belong to the city. That ooSt Is estimated at less tlian $3,500,<>O0.

They are sometimes, called Indian figs or Barbary figs because of tjie numerous small seeds which they contain. Several species of Opuntia are cultivated for their fruits as well as for their edible Joints. • The flowers are large, usually yellow or orange, rarely rose or red. Delicious fruits are those of Cereus plinhaya and Its relatives. This species grows to the height of 60* feet and its trunk reaches two nnd a half feet In diameter. The fruit Is gathered at dawn with long reed sticks armed with several prongs. • • The fruits of Cereus giganteus, a handsome cactus of the JJonthwest, are also much esteemed either in the fresh state or preserved. They are egg-shaped, two or three Inches long, green on the outside and crimson within. The strawberry pear, obtained from Cereus triangularis. Is pearshaped, bright-red, with slightly acid pulp, making It deslrahle In the fresh condition or as an Ingredient of the "pepper pot" of the West Indies. Excellent fruits are also produced hy Lemalreocereus thurberl and certain other large tree-cacti, and these "pitahayas" do not have the annoying prickles found In the fruits of Opuntia. "Oarambullas" are the small currantlike fruits of Myrtlllocactus. They are eaten fresh or dried like raisins. The melon cacti produce a number of small edible ftuits resembling tiny scarlet radishes or red peppers. The Mexican strawberry, found on a species of hedgehog cactus.
