The most curious timekeeper perhaps
that has ever been made In this coun-
try was the work of one Victor Doriot.
who lived at Bristol. Tenn. in the last
century. This theological oGdity was
nothing more or less than a wooden
watch. 80 case WAS made of brier
root. and the inside works-all except
three of the main wheels and the
springs. which We're of metal We're
made from a piece of an old lockwood
rule. The face. which was polished
until II looked like a slab OF finest
ivory. was made from the shoulder
blade of an old COW that had been
killed by the cars. "Doriot's queer
watch" as 1t was called. was an open
faced affair. with a glass crystal, and
was pronounced an elegant piece of
Workmanship by all the watchmakers
In east Tennessee.

A bank had been robbed In a town
ten miles away. The money, amount

banker was notified, warrants issued

plenty of excitement. The banker took

THE BANANA PLANT.
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 IL
a large, green, feshy plant, with big
leaves six or eight feet long and some
times two feet broad. 1t grows to a
height Of ten to fourteen feet or even
more. according to the variety OF
plant and the soil and climate. Each
tree produces ono bunch of fruit only.
which is really the terminal bud of .e
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 Its fruit 1t 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
dace its 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 peculiarly about
the banana: You can plant 1t 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 1t clear OF
weeds and keep thinning out the multi
plying suckers.

INTEREST IN THE MEASURE

WHAT IT MIGHT ACCOMPLISH
Indirectly It Was Federal Supervi-

WHAT IT MIGHT ACCOMPLISH

The House judiciary committee today be-
gan hearings on the Ames model insurance
bill Many state Insurance commissioners
actuaries and other insurance men from
Washington and elsewhere were in attend
tnce. 1t soon developed that those mem
beers of the committee who had looked over
the Ames bill were inclined to think that 1t
sought to accomplish indirectly what the
judiciary committee had already decided
could not be done directly-that is 1t aims
at the federal control of insurance The
discussion today practically all revolved
around this feature and but little was ac-
compiished.
Representative Ames, the author of the
measure was first heard. and he explained
In general the provisions of the b!ll and the
manner in which it had been drawn.
The Bill Explained
1bos. D. o'Brien of ST. Paul explained
to the committee that the present form OF
the Ames bill contains as Its "oid feature
the recognized best features of the presen;
as its new features has the laws on in
sursnce adopted by the legislature OF New
York. The measure provided for the con-
troll, In a measure, from the District or

Special Cablegram to The Star.
DUBLIN, May A.-Barry O'Brien an
nounces that 500 is now in the National
bank of London to the credit of the Fof-
tenoy memorial fund in the names of the
Very Rev. Canon McCartan, p. p, Dom
aghmore; Councillor Hutchinson {ex-lord
mayor) DR.. Henry, vice president of the
Gaelic League of London, and of Mr.. Barry
O'Brien himself. So far the responses
made to the appeals of the Dublin and
Fontenoy memorial committee have been
extremely gratifying. More than one-half
of the Catholic bishops of Ireland. with his
Eminence Cardinal Logue at their head,
have generously subscribed to the fund.
Subscriptions have come in from various
parts of Ireland well as from America.
John D. Crimmins of New York has writ
ten to Mr.. O'Brien saying that he has
brought the subject under the notice of the
Friendly Sons of st. Patrick, and that he
is cooperating with Mr.. O'Brien in hts eff
forts. Mr.. John Redmond NJ p. has given
the project his warmest support. In Bel
GUM itself the movement has created the
greatest interest, and a free site has been
onered for the monument in the town of
Journal. and on the plain of Fontenoy it
self. The practical sympathy shown by
the people of Belgium has given pleasure
here. The total amount necessary for the
erection of the monument Is only about
$1.5O0, and 1t is hoped that this amount
will be subscribed before the end Of the
year. for 1t is the desire of the committees
to erect the monument in the course of
next year, and IL possible on the 18th of
May, the anniversary of the battle.
Approval Of Educational BILL
The Belfast synod of the Irish Presbyter-
ian Church has adopted a resolution ex-
pressing approval Of the English educa-
tionai bill as whole, but objection to
clause 4 unless the special facilities for
the giving of religious teaching In the
schools affected by the clause shall be al
lowed only outside school hours. Irish
Presbyterians have always been strong de-
nominatf0nalists in theory. Nobody would
assume. reading the Official declarations of
the Presbyterian body on the subject of
education. that they are denomina tionalists
But the fact remains that there Is no ura-
UNCONVENTIONAL religious teaching In the
schools OF Ulster that are locked
after by the education committee Of the
general assembly.
At the meeting Of the arterial drainage
commission this week Sir Nicholas cosee-
lin made many statements of interest 70
