The most marvelous tree in the world is
the Carnahuba palm, which grosvs in
’ Brazil.
It has recently been stated that in the
great meat-packing factories in Chicago,
every portion of a pig is used except the
squeal. With respect to the Carnahuba
palm one can not even reserve the bark.
Its root produce the same medicinal
effect as sarsaparilla.
From parts of the tree wine and vinegar
are made.
Its fruit is used for feeding cattle.
Of the straw, hats, baskets, brooms and
mats are made. It is also used for thatch-
ing houses.
The pulp has an agreeable taste, and the
nut, which is oleaginous and emulsive, is
sometimes used as a substitute for coffee.
Its stems afford strong, light fibers,
which acquire a beautiful luster .and serve
also for joists, rafters and other building
materials.
It yields also a saccharine substances, as
well as a starch resembling sago.
Of the wood of the stem, musical instru-
ments, water tubes and pumps are made.
From the stem a white liquid similar to
the milk of the cocoanut, and a flour re-
sembling maizena may be extracted.
Moreover salt is extracted from the tree.,
and likewise an alkali used in the manu^
facture of common soap.
