THE LOCOMOTIVES TASK.

When heavy freights are being hauled
thousands of miles, forty or firty tons
in single car and scores of cars in a
train, at a less cost per ton mile, they
tell us than IL such stuff were poled
and fioated along canal. the electric
locomotive must meet with some very
severe conditions. Railroading forty or
even ten years ago was a simple mat
ter indeed In comparison with what we
are undertaking to do to-day When
we discard our interior water channels
and move mountains of fuel and ore,
forests full OF timber and the contents
OF the bursting granaries of fertile
empire behind the locomotive, and do
1t, too, at what is said to be profit to
the stockholders of the railway COM
panies, competing machines run by
electricity or any other magic force Of
mans or the gods devising will find it
hard to qualify. That is what IS the
matter with the electric locomotive.

years ago would have asked of anv

sion. To be sure 1t did not do much
good to have kissing bug without also
having victims. This was not hard
point. There are insects which bite
people, spiders and mosquitoes, for ex-
ample and persons can always be
found with sore and swollen lips, and it
is not hard for a newspaper man to ex-
aggerate the swelling and make it any
size desirable The victims presented
to the reading public by the originators
of the yarn in Washington were I'M
known, and perhaps fictitious, colored
persons. The story being well estab-
lished in the national capital, it was
pushed northward by the gentlemen in
the conspiracy. The boys Of Baltimore
threatened to stop the fun, however.
they would have none of it, knowing it
to be a fake. and the kissing bug did
not invade Baltimore and create hys-
tercs there. The Washingtonians say
that the newspaper men of Baltimore
are entirely to conscientious for this
world. The kissing bug, however, ex-
tended itself and carried its devasta-
tions northward into New Jersey and to
Philadelphia and New York, and has
worked into New England. The sum-
mer resorts have seen it. supposed
specimen or two has even been cap
tured in this city and doctors have
diagnosed It's "kisses."
And now the bottom drops out Of the
whole hoax; and everybody will pro-
coed to laugh. II was time to crush
the kissing bug. He was making peo-
pie nervous, and his effect was espe-
cially bad on hysterical women. The
whole thing shows the power Of jour
nalism, and while all journalists may
not be proud of this illustration of their
power, It is to be wished that the press
were never used for a worse purpose

which contain each from one hundred to
one hundred and fifty bananas. The
buds and blossoms are colossal affairs
When the plant arrives at the proper
age single stem shoots up in the mid
dls, two on three feet above the point
where the leaf separates The end of
the stem gradually swells until it re-
sefnbleS a huge purple rosebud and its
weight causes the stalk to bend grace
Iuliy to one side Then the bud bursts
open and discloses III its center a red
STEM set with miniature spikes; and a
lew days later the end Of each spike
SHOWS small yellow flower. When
these drop off the bananas form, the
central stem becoming that Of the huge
bunch, which weighs from eighty to one
hundred and forty pounds. An Ameri-
can banana grower near Trinidad has
given me his experience in the following
figures: He bought seventy acres Of
land, which he cleared and planted at
q cost of 49, 70 the first year. The Gull
tivation of the plantation during the
second year cost SLIGO He sold fifty
four thousand lunches, at an average
of sixty-eight cents, the total receipts
being $685. net profit $50,6S0
Though bananas will grow anywhere
in the tropics, the best soil Is warm,
moist but well-drained loan at an ele-
walton of from seven hundred to one
thousand feet. Tho suckers should be
six months old when planted and placed
at least fifteen feet apart, in specially
prepared holes, with q little compost at
the bottom OF each: and during the
growth of the plant the land must be
kept free from weeds. In all hot coup-
tries the banana enters largely into the
native menu, but seldom uncooked be-
ing usually fried, baked or boiled. In
portions of South America, notably Bo-
lvia, it is the only bread of the poorer
classes boiled half ripe in the skins.
In Central America -four is made of
fruit and bread from the flour. The
process of flour-making is primitive |
among the people of the tropics. They |
take green bananas, cut them in Slices |
and dry them in the sun, ana then |
pound them until the pith can be sepa-
rated from the powder, the latter being
then ready for use. Not long ago a
company was formed in Germany ana |
later one in the United States, for man
rlfahturing banana-flour on scientitc
pribciples and putting 1t into circulation
on the claim that it contains very much
more nourishment than wheat hour'
The demand for it has already tar eN-
ceeded the expectations OF It's promo
ters. therefore is it not reasonable to BE-
,ieve that the field for banana-culture
is unlimited?

WoRcEsTER's GROWTH.
Prediction Contained in a Poem Written
More Than Half a Century Ago.

Some historic interest attaches to the
following poem, or ather concluding
stanzas of poem, that was read in this
city more than 50 years ago, by the
Hon. Henry S. Washburn, now of Bos-
ton. 1t was delivered in the old town
hall. at the opening of the old Worces-
ter Lyceum, in the fal of 1886 The
Hon. George S. Hillard of Boston was
the lecturer on that occasion, and Mr.
Washburn followed him with his poem.
Worcester was then a town of scarcely
$4,000 inhabitants, but the poets pro-
phetic eye had some conception of its
future. Indeed, in a recent letter, Mr..
Washburn writes
Il had the feeling then that Worces-
ter in time was to become the centre of
great population; but l could not
know my life would be prolonged to see
it today a city of more than 100, 900,
with an increase in the future which
will make her duly second to Boston
among the cities of the common
wealth"
Few will need to be reminded that
Mr.. Washburn was the author of the
poem, The Vacant Chair Here are
