State Investment Board Likely to

a special meeting of the state investment
board will be he'd this afternoon in the gov
ernors office to decide upon the advisability
of purchasing 100000 worth of the new
government war bonds as a state investment.
State treasurer Koerner is much interested
in placing this amount OF the states money
in what he considers. as do the bankers and
mOnied men of the East, the surest and SAT-
est OF investments. There is, however a
probability that the state will have no chance
10 secure any of these bonds. the demand
in the East among those controlling large
capital has been great. and unless prompt
action is taken the state will be unable to
secure any of the governments gilt edge Sc
curties.
The investment board consists of Gov.
Clough. State Treasurer Koerner, Chief JUS
tiee Start and Hon. ]. S. Pillsbury, of the
board of regents of the state university.
The board will Immediately telegraph the
proper public officials at Washington, after
the the meeting. that this amount of the
bonds be reserved for this state until draft
can be made through New York exchange for
the amount necessary to c-ose the deal.

Uses of

1t IS hardly necessary to state that
well-matured bananas that have not
begun to decay are very wholesome
and nutritious food. No more than
that the biggest apples or pears are
the best, are the biggest bananas the
finest favored; on the contrary, the
larger they are the more mealy they
taste. The cultivation of bananas,
although it has in the last. ten years
assumed gigantic proportions, may
still be said to be in it's infancy. Al
most every part of the plant can be
used for some useful purpose; the
stalk forms an excellent material for
the manufacture Of paper, or the fibre
might be extracted; the peel of the
fruit will make excellent indelible ink;
the green fruit dried can be converted
into wholesome flour. The fruit.
when ripe, consists of seventy-four per
cent. of water; of the remaining TWEEN
ty-six parts, twenty are sugar and two
gluten or fesh-forming food. Hence.
like rice, though exceedingly nutri-
it requires the addition of some
more heterogeneous material. Green
bananas, boiled tender, if given to the
hens, will make them lay more eggs
than any other food. Dried bananas,
or banana figs as they are called, are
in the market, and will undoubt-
eddy soon be a great article of trade as
soon as found by the school boy.
They are sweet, wholesome and nour-
Sanitarian.

Fascinating Traditions of the Lofty Gil
Which Prof. Libby Is to Try to Scale.

Fascinating Traditions of the Lofty Cliff
Which Prof. Libby Is to Try to Scale.
The scheme of Prof. Libby of
Princeton university to scale the
rock 700 feet high in the Acoma terri
tory in New Mexico, has already been
brought to the notice of the Pathfind-
er readers. In connection with this
coming expedition, which is now en-
route it is interesting to know some
thing about the marvellous history
more properly, tradition-of this. cen
chanted" rock. "Mesa Encantada" is
rightly named if the la and
tradition connected with it lie true, as
in part they they must be.
Near the centre OF tue plains of
Acoma-a vast expanse of wild prairie
land situated west by south Of Al
buqueruue, N. NJ, some seventy-fiye
miles, rises a rectangular rock of red
and gray sand stone, shaped like the
figure 8, with perpendicular sides 700
feet high. This rock is called "Aiesa
SEncantada" -enchaated me a. The
for Of this elevated tfble land covers
an alaaa Of about fAy acres. From
the foEafciecct, horizontally, great
craggy points Of rock~which make the
summit wholly inaccessible. Yet on
this very top, on that stony tableland
700 feet above their fellow-men, lived
at Il time a colony of men, womcn
and children. Way back in the six.
teenth century 1900 vi}lage-Indians-
SO the story goes-built their rude
but frugal homes Of stone and sun
dried bricks up there and lived safer
from intrusion thsn if they were in a
walled fortress. But how did they
get there? How, indeed didthe prin-
tive Indians reach the top Of "Nesa
Encantala'-a feat that great mod
ern scientists are working hard to
accomplish?
Besides, these people did not only
scale it once. For what could they
live on up there? They had gardens
OF corn, chill and beans away down in
the valley far beneath, their cattle
graZel at the great rocks foot. AS
cent and descent mad to be made every
day, AID made it was. And this is
how it was as wonderful as some ali
Gent fairy tale. On the east side Of
the great rock mountain they had cut
i'll the stone for about 800 feet up,
narrow steps. Where the steps
stopped was q landing, and a great
arch, even like a cathedral entrance.
Lo, behold(as the fairy tale would put
it, the great arch led into the very
depths of the rock itself, whence
another and another fight of steps
hewn out from the rock, led up and
up to the very top-the plateau itself.
By this laborioua, hidden path, the
Esopian ascent, those ingenious and
industrious people oyercame the duff
Guilty of the projecting crags.
But safe as these red folks thought
they were up there, n day-as the
story goes-a horrible thing occurred,
and MESA Encantada" freed herself
from her burden of humans for ever
unless to be sure Prof. Libby con-
luers here once again.
