MONARCHS OF THE ISLAND REPUBLIC 

 The Royal Palm trees of Cuba are protected by the Government. They may 

 not be cut or injured for commercial purposes. These trees are over 200 feet 

 high and the manner of scaling them is interesting. Expert climbers are 

 employed to remove the leaves and the seeds, from which high-grade oil is 

 manufactured.
