A LOUDLY-TRUMPETED enterprise
was that of several capitalists who
engaged In the manufacture OF bana-
ma -four in Central America several
years ago, and who, according to
some OF the trade papers, were going
to establish an industry Of great mag
nitude. or late, however, nothing
has been heard about the results Of
the experiment, but 1t now appears
that a similar experiment is being
tried in Dutch Guiana, and the Brit
ish Consul at Paramaiho says that
machinery to the value Of $40, 900
has been imported and set at work
grinding the bananas, and that a
portion Of the product OF the mill
has been sent to Holland. The COM
pany anticipate that a considerable
demand for the meal for bread-mak-
ing purposes will spring up. An an
alysis Of the meal follows: Moisture,
H.. A.; ether extract, 039; alcohol
extract $50 per cent 5.94 (of which,
reducing sugar Us per cent, sucrose
0.0S): cold water extract, 5. 80; flber
and other Understandable carbohy-
drates, SIS; total, 10000. From
this it will be seen that the food val
ue OF the meal is minute, and should
be compared rather to the potato
than to the cereal. In the face of
this analysis it is difficult to believe,
says the consul, that the banana meal
enterprise will prove remunerative.

Belle Paine and Brooklyn Lose Upward
OF Half Million.
A fire which started in a Belle
PLANE, Iowa, blacksmith shop,
on Saturday afternoon resulted In
the nearly total destruction of the
business part OF town, only three
buildings remaining. The loss is esti-
mated at S5uO,0tO, with perhaps insur-
ance amounting to 100000. The
flames, owing to the buildings being
very dry, were soon beyond control.
From Krohl's livery stable the flames
leaped across the street into another
livery stable and the engine-house
and spread up the main street west tn
the Henry Hotel; then across the street
into a billiard hall. and continuing
east engulfed the entire business rart
of the city, leaving ruin and ashes in
its wake.

NOT SEASlcK.
The Young Man Declared the Lemons Were
to Blame.


1t was rough out on the lake yesterday.
A great many people will testify to that,
Seasickness was epidemic on the excur-
sion boats. That also is fact that can
be proved. And on one Of the boats there
was young man who was tall and thin
and oonsumptivo looking. He sat away
up IN the bow of tho boat and let the
breeze blow through his hair and fan his
pallid brow When the big waves began
to get in their full and deadly work on tho
boat, he felt strange qualms at the pit Of
his stomach and turned to his neighbor
and said, Say, is n feller liable to goe
Geasick on this here boats" 4
Quite so, +" replied his neighbor.
Amy way to stop it?'' :
"Ivo heard that If you cat lemon you
will not be bothered. I'm never seasick
myself and don't know from actual expe-
fience."
The tall young man rose and walked
unsteadily to the little coop whero tho
lemons arc sold Ho bought two His
face was very pale when he got back to his
chair, but no held out manfully. He cut
the top off one of his lemons and slowed 1t
away in short order, eating it down as II
it had been an apple Then he tackled
the other lemon and put that out of sight
cxpeditiously. The boat wallowed on and
tho number Of sufferers increased. In 30
minutes there were very few people max
ing the trip who did not wish they hadn't
come.
The tall young man evidently felt bet
ter. He leaned back in his chair and ven-
tured u smile at the agony of fat woman
who was leaning against a post. Sudden
ly he sat up straight, and a startled look
came into his face. He shuddered q cou-
ple OF times, and then he said ,Wowr'
loudly. The startled look in his face re-
mained in evidence. Tho tall young man
grasped wildly at the bottom of his vest
and rose to his feet. He said, "Oh! Wow!
A-w-w WIZ and rushed for the companion
way. The fat woman leaning against the
post was not too sick to smile herself
The tall young man reached the top of
the stairs. There he fell down and wound
himself all up in his legs A couple of men
tried to help him to his feet. "Gimme
some brandy" he moaned.
Brandy" inquired one Of the men.
THAT'S the worst thing in tho world to
take when you are seasick.''
The tall man unfolded one of his legs.
