USES OF A BANANA.
Many Sources Of Revenue to Which
This Popular Fruit 10
Pat.

Immense fortunes have been made
out OF the banana business. Revenues
do not accrue alone from the sale of
the fruit, for the leaves are used for
packing; the Juice, being strong in
tannin, make an indelible ink and
shoe backing; the wax found on the
under side of the leaves is a valuable
article of commerce; manila hemp is
made from the stems, and of this hemp
are made mats, plated work and lace
of the finest texture:
moreover, the banana is ground into
banana -four. The fruit to be sold for
dessert is ripened by the dry warmth
OF ftaring gas jets in the storage
places in which it is kept, and care
has to be taken to prevent softenin9
or overripening. The island of Ja-
maica yields great crops of this USE
ful and money-makinE fruit.

sAND-FLY LIVES BUT A DAY.
Delicate Little Insect Furnishes an Interesting Study to the
 ScientistS.

a
 Here is tragic story of the sand fly.
 It has but a day to live in the light Tn order to earn the right to that day of fife 1t lives from one to three years in darkness, down in the mud at the bot tom of lakes or rivers. Moreover, the sand fly is perfectly harmless. It can not even. bite. It has no sting. It cannot even eat. All 1t can do is to fit about for few hours enjoying the light of day or the glare of an electric lamp.
 Professor c. B, Davenport, of the University of Chicago, told the other day, says the Inter-Ocean, about the delicate, beautiful little insects which prove pest to great many people.
 The sand fly is known to scientists familiarly as the May fly. Tn scientific terms 1t is called Ephemerida. This name is taken from the Greek word Ephemeros, which means lasting only for day. To the scientists the sand fly is one of the most interesting and beautfful of insects.
 The fly lives but day at most, but before 1t sees light it has lived for from one to three years under the
