A good thing about the banana is
that it is imported nearly all the year
around, and it is quite a. cheap in win
ter rs it is in summer. 1t is especially
appreciated in winter in u climate,
because Of the scarcity Of many ether
fruits. And this remind me that NY
good friend Eugene Blackford, the emf
nent pisciculturist. one undertook ut
my suggestion to put SOM watcrplal-
n away in his refrigerator in mid
summer and see how hey would come
out at Christmas. The day before
Christmas I received u solidly frozen
watermelon. 1t was a refreshing sight.
I left it for hours III cold water to get
u the frost, and then had to chop it
open with a Ratchet. 1t was frozen
solidly. The beautiful red inside was
still solid and sweet, but the nomant
the warm air melted it it became an
insipid, mushy mass. The next year
Mr.. Rlackford sent me for my New
Years dinner some corn on the cob
frozen. 1t came on the table looking
as toothsome and smelling as appetiz-
ing as the hot corn of October, but it
was ashes to the taste. ! think this was
the end of my friends experiments

Two strange Death Customs.

In some parts of England a queer cus
tom is still in vogue, which is repeated
whenever a death occurs. 1t is called
the bite Of sin," and whenever some
one in the house dies a piece of bread
is laid on the breast Of the corpse which
some stroller by is persuaded to eat
for a good sum of money. In this way
it is believed that the sins of the dead
are transferred to the living, who in
turn can shove them off together with
his own by a similar ceremony when his
life comes to an end. On the Sandwich
islands the widows have the names
of their departed husbands. tattooed on
their Observation-Disclosures.

A VEGETABLE BONANZA.

A Root That IL Often Quoted ~
Being the Most Valuable.
High prices are often paid at certain
times for drugs, such as quinine, CO
caine and others, but a drug is used in
New China which in actual value far
surpasses anything which has been
known here.
The substance in question is called
ginseng, and is the root of Aralia quin-
quefolia. 1t is so highly valued as a
tonic and stimulant medicine in China
that it is sold at from twenty to two
hundred and fifty times its weight in
silver, sometimes for five hundred times
that amount. Pearson's Monthly states,
however, that it possesses no important
medicinal properties. Next to China
the drug is produced in good quality in
Corea, and is the principal article Of
export from Corea into China. Sc
much is this the Ease that the Coreans
are 10th to part with any seeds of the
plant lest their practical monopoly in
this root should be invaded.
The wonder is that with such q much
used commodity at such a price steps
are not taken to cultivate it in sutt.
Gent quantity SO as to adjust the bal
ance between supply and demand. The
reduction, for example, in the price OF
quinine was largely the result Of in
creased cultivation of the cinchona
plant, and the anne may be said Of
cocaine in respect to the cocoa plant.
Perhaps, however, the foreign subsu-
tutes of the real product, ginseng, which
reach the Chinese markets from North
America and elsewhere, interfere with
the native production. But with silver
in one scale and portions of the highly
esteemed root in the other, it seems
reasonable to conclude that the cultiva-
ton Of the Aralia quinquefolia in North
China would be remunerative, whateve1
tho cost and II OuDle.

CAUSE OF
The Meeting of Head Winds From
North and South,

h Meeting of Head Winds From
North and South.
From the Gulf of Mexico to the North
Pole and from the lakes to the Rocky
mountains is a vast extent Of country
crossed by no mountain chains to in.
tercept or retard the velocity Of air cur
rent. The extent of this country is
equaled by none on earth. Cold air
being heavier to the square inch than
warm air, the cold air, when coming
in contact with q warm current from
the south, always predominates, fore
ing the warm air into the upper u
rents.
The cause Of cyclones Is the meeting
Of a head wind from the north with
a head wind from the south. They
meet like two vast armies Of men.
The pressure at the point of meeting
is SO great that the air, by compression.
becomes heavier to the square inch
than wood or the human body, hence
either one will float in the same man.
ner that wood will float in water-it
floats because it is lighter to the square
inch than water. Place water in an
ordinary wash bowl and remove the
plug and it will be observed that in
passing out the water forms q circular
reaction. Air being a liquid does the
same in passing either upwards or
downwards; hence the funnel-shaped
spout of the cyclone center. When
two immense bodies of air coming from
opposite directions meet, the only
egress is upwards and sideways, and
in passing upwards it forms the funnel
the same as water passing out Of a
wash bowl downwards. The theory
that a cyclone forms a vacuum is alb
surd. Withdraw air from a glass jar
with an air pump, and a feather within
the u formed will drop with the
same velocity as lead, or on the other
hand, you can compress air until it is
heavier to the square inch than wood,
in which case wood will float in the
air. The lifting power of a cyclone is
caused ~ by the compression or dens-
ity Of the air, and .(2) by it's velocity.
Combining the power of density with
that of velocity, which occurs at the
center of the funnel, no power can re-
sist it. The feeling Of s%uffocation or
difficulty in breathing when near the
track Of a cyclone is caused from the
compression of air.-Minneapolis Trib-
