A banana stalk yields but one bunch
of fruit, and would die II it were not
cut down when the fruit ripens or ma

tinuously, as fast as one stalk is cut

BILE thing about this plant Is that II
you cut into half-grown stalk near
the root, or any part of the stalk, q
small blossom, or bunch Of bananas,

never reach any market value. Many
people affirm that the banana and the
plantain are the same fruit, but this is
incorrect; although they grow like the
banana an experienced person can
readily distinguish the difference by
the color as well as by the size Of the
small ribs in the leaf. The plantain
grows in bunch. but with only two or
three hands to the bunch, and each
finger or individual plantain Is as large
again as the banana and is more of .
crescent shape They are never eaten
raw. The natives cook both the PLAN

Tn. Creates. Bicycle Town.


Denver. Col. enjoys the distinction
Of having more bicycles in proportion
to population than any other city in
the United States. Though Denver
numbers only 100000 souls within her
city limits. she boasts of not less than
10000 bicycles Morning and evening
alike thousands of bicycles may be
seen on the streets Of Denver mounted
by men, women and children in every
walk of life. Bicycles literally overrun
things and they are used in every line
of business, and street car companies
say they have lost $1,000,00 annually
in traffic since bicycles have become
the rage. In fact, one company went
into the hands Of receiver two years
ago, alleging that the universal wheel
had impaired its earning to such an
extent that it could not meet its inter-
est demands. The open weather and
fine natural roads are largely respon-
sible for the popularity of the wheel,
as it is conceded that ordinary riders
can use their wheels daily for so weeks
out Of 81 and not suffer any annoyance
from mud or snow. Add to this the
fact that neither lights, brakes nor bells
are required and the agility required
u the non-rider in taking care Of him
self can be appreciated. Denver Is
said to be the only city in the country
where the bicycle vote controls cleo
tons on municipal issues.
