THE BANANA PLANT.
Each Tree Produces Only One Bunch
of the Fruit.

Each Tree Produces Only One Bunch
of the Fruit.
The banana plant is not properly a
tree at all. 1t has no woody fiber. 1t Is
large, green, fleshy plant, with big
leaves six or eight feet long and some
times two feet broad. 1t grows to q
height of ten to fourteen feet or even
more, according to the variety of
plant and the soil and climate. Each
tree produces one bunch of fruit only,
which is really the terminal bud of the
plant, just like an ear of wheat or
barley. 1t has no branches, and when
the fruit is ready, which is twelve or
fifteen months from the date Of plant
ing, the tree is cut down and done
with.
But while it is growing up and ma
turing it's fruit it is at the same time
sending up from its roots other young
plants or suckers - perhaps eight or
nine of them. Each of these will pro
duce it's own bunch in turn, some of
them in a couple of months after the
parent plant, and there will thus be a
regular succession of fruit. Many Of
these suckers have to be dug up and
planted elsewhere, or they would be
too thick On the ground.
And there is this popularity about
the banana: You can plant it at any
season, and the fruit ripens all the
year round. When once a banana field
has been planted out, all that is neces-
sary to be done is to keep it clear of
weeds and keep thinning out the multi
plying suckers.

SHOE NAILS.
The Way They Are Made and why
They Are So Cheap.

The Way They Are Made and why
They Are So Cheap.
Three million separate shoe nails are
often cast from one ton of metal. OF
the smaller sizes 1000 nails are mold
ed in a siugle mold, and an expert
workman will make eighty molds in an
ordinary working day, thus turning out
10000 separate nails.
When the metal in a liquid state is
poured into the mold it runs through
the sand in passages provided in the
molding process; the whole of the nails
are cast together and are. when re-
moved from the sand. connected by a
network of iron one with another. In
this condition tie iron is as brittle as
glass, and very little force is required
to separate the nails from the network
which holds them together
They then have to undergo the proc
ess known as annealing. They are
mixed up with hematite iron ore, which
is in q powdered state, put into iron
pots, and placed in an annealing fur
mace, sort of kiln Here they remain
for some days, care being taken to so
regulate the heat to which they are
subjected that the iron will not be re-
melted. but brought very nearly to
that condition. The action of the raw
iron ore upon the brittle casting is
marvellous. After cooling, it can be
bent without risk of breaking, and it
becomes Il useful and serviceable arti-

CAMELS OUTDONE.
Creatures That Go For Extended Pc

Creatures That Go For Extended Pee
riOds without Drinking.
Other creatures than the camel are
able to get along for extended periods
without drinking. Sheep in the south
western deserts go for forty to sixty
days in winter without drink, grazing
on the green, succulent vegetation of
that season. Peccaries in the desert of
Sonora live in little dry hills where
there is no natural water for long peri
DDS. They cannot possibly find water
in fact, for months at time. The only
moisture they can obtain comes from
roots and the fruits Of cacti, but the
most extraordinary case is that of the
pocket mouse, one of the common ro-
dents of the desert. This little creature,
by the way, has a genuine fur lined
pocket" on the outside of it's cheek.
When it is hungry it takes food from
this pocket with its paw, just as man
would pull a ham sandwich from his
pocket One of these mice has been
kept for three years with no other food
than the mixed bird seed Of commerce.
During this period it had not taste of
either water or green food. Other eX-
perimenters have found, in fact, that
these mice in captivity refuse such
treats, not seeming to know that water
is good to drink. The bird seed put be-
fore this mouse contained not more
than 10 per cent of moisture, which is
less than is necessary for digestion.
Stuff so dry as this cannot even be
swallowed until it is moistened by
saliva. Yet this remarkable mouse
gave nothing but his time to the inter
ests of science. He suffered nothing in
health or spirits during his captivity

ANTIQUITY OF FISHING.
The ART of Angling Is as Old as the
Human Race.

The Art of Angling Is as Old as the
Human Race.
The art Of angling no doubt had It's
origin III mans necessities. The earli-
est record of mankind makes reference
to the taking of fish for food. There
are frequent illusions to it in the Bible.
Job, in the Oldest book of all, says:
"Canst thou draw out a leviathan with
hook or his tongue with cord which
thou lettest down? Canst thou put a
hook in his nose?" Homer in the
"Iliad," speaks Of fishing in these lines:
AS bearing death In the fallacious bait
From the bent angle sinks the leaden
weight.
AMI it Is recorded in the "Odyssey::"
AS when the angler his long rod in hand,
On projecting rock assumes his stand,
Casts to the fiery fry the baited snare,
Then filings the wriggling captives in the
air.
The Romans, Greeks and other races
Of early days around the Mediterranean
practiced the art of angling Plutarch
tells of q prank played by the faiI
Egyptian, Cleopatra, while out fishing
with Antony, "They wagered on their
angling, and her divers did hang a
salt fish on his hook, which he With
fervor drew up"
The ruined walls of Herculaneum
and Pompeii abound in frescoes Of
fishermen. All along the track of his
tory are found traces of this gentle
recreation, showing the gradual i'm
provement from the hook of bone and
rude equipment of the cave man to the
elegant accessories and belongings of
the modern angler.

NOSE CHANGES.
They Are Gradual and TmperceptibIe,
but Continuous.

They Are Gradual and Tmperceptible,
but Continuous.
Don't worry about the shape Of your
baby's nose if it is snub nor be sure If
it pleases you by it's regularity that 1t
will be the nose that will grow up with
1t, for scientists have observed that no
feature changes more as life progresses.
The length Of the nose increases 80
much faster than its breadth that the
snub nosed baby may evolve a long,
even hooked nose. This change In the
shape of noses is gradual and imper-
ceptible, generally more expeditions in
the male than in the female, correlated
with various other characteristics, such
as intellectual attainments or weak
constitution, and producing different
results. During maturity and senes-
cence the bridge of the nose becomes
more and more prominent, often more
convex, so that extreme old age may
even develop an aquiline nose, SO that
one need never despair of possessing a
satisfactory nose at some period of his
life if he only lives long enough. But
like so many other blessings that are
deferred, the right kind of a nose may
arrive too late to affect ones fortunes
or happiness.
