as it does this the long red leaves fall
off, one after the other, showing that
the bunch of fruit is formed of long
stalk encircled with layers of fruit,
commonly called hands; each hand
made up of several individual banan-
as, commercially known as fingers, and
at the end of each finger is small,
bell-shaped yellow blossom When the
bud first comes out, the end of the ba-
mana points directly up toward the sky
and as the blossom turns to ward the
ground the bananas, or fingers keep
turning in an opposite direction, 50 that
the bananas grow pointed up, instead
of hanging down, as seen in the stores
in this country. The fruit is never al
lowed to ripen on the plant, but is cut
when about three-quarters or seven
eighths full, according to the season of
the year and the number of days re-
quired for transportation.
When cutting fruit on banana
plantation, an overseer, with one or
two cutters and a dozen or more men,
are sent out into the different districts
of the plantation. When they come to
bunch properly matured, they cut,
with. machete, little notch in the
banana stalk as high as they can reach.
This allows the top of the stalk, with
the bunch of fruit, to bend until the
carrier can reach the small end with
his hand. The sap flowing from this
stalk, when cut, will color either paper
or cloth with an endelible brown stain,
and has often been used for writing.
Then the cutter cuts off the stalk
about four or five inches from the ba-
nanas, the carrier taking the bunch
either ON his head or shoulder, while
the cutter cuts the then old stalk clear
from the remainder of the mat, leaving

Interesting Discourse Given in the Yale
Art School Last Night.
A most interesting lecture was given
in the Yale Art school last night by
Professor Weir. The south gallery of
the hall, where the lecture was held,
was filled with spectators, all of whom
greatly enjoyed the discourse.
Professor Weir's subject was "Some
Distinctions Between Literary ndOther
Forms of Art He spoke in part as

1t was with some hesitation that
accepted Professor Cooks invitation to
lecture in this course; when asked to do

BANANA GROWTH AND FRUIT
ING.
Interesting Facts About a Popular
Fruit.

Fruit.
In rich land the banana will obtain
its full growth in from twelve to fifteen
months, yielding a bunch of fruit
weighing from twenty-five to one hun
dred pounds. The average height of
plant is between twenty and twenty
five feet, but they often reach the
height Of thirty feet, and will continue
to produce, without replanting, from
ten to thirty years. Its leaves are Of
ten fifteen feet long and from twelve to
eighteen inches wide, and Of most Wv
id green color. These leaves come
from the center of the banana stalk
making their appearance, wrapped
around the center rib like flag around

paths, and so shuts out the sun that
you seem to be riding or walking

leaves first unfold they are one long,
large leaf, but being very delicate, they

The poems often cut leaf and use it
for an umbrella during the tropical
showers After sending out a dozen or

feet long then appears, signifying that

FOREIGNERS IN CHINA.
Accurate Information as to the Mum.
Der Cannot Be Obtained Mt the
Present Time.

There seems to be a woeful lack of
definite information as to the number
of foreigners now residing in China.
The information is not easy to get,
for when country stretches thousands
of miles, and it takes traveller four
months to proceed from the coast to
the far interior, even by constant trav-
cling, it is pain that such statistics
are extremely difficult to obtain. But
one famous foreign newspaper, the
Deutscher Reichs-Anzeiger, has been
at some pains to get particulars of
what figures are available relating to
the known foreigners" in the towns
known as treaty ports"
The figures apply to some seven or
eight towns on the seacoast of China.

more than third portion of all the for

the most costly stake of all-human
