RELATING TO IRON.
Discovery of the Metal, According to
Various Authorities.


Various Authorities.
The Bible speaks Of Tubal Cain as
the discoverer of iron and the father
of smiths. The Egyptians imputed to
Hephaestus the same honor. while PHI
ny mentions it having been discovered
by Dactyles on Mount Ida after the
forests on the mountain side had been
destroyed by lightning. This was about
1882 years B. c. Jeremiah and Eze-
kiel both mention iron in their Scrip
tural writings, the latter specially men
tioning two qualities Of the metal and
calling one bright iron, which was prob
ably steel.
Moses mentions an iron furnace. and
Job speaks of 1t as being taken out Of
the earth. Thousands of years before
the opening of the Christian era the
Egyptians used iron in making sickles,
knives and such things Sparta first
used iron for money. Britain also used
it as medium of barter and exchange
prior to the conquest by the Romans.
The Britons before the time of Christ
used to export iron to Gaul. and after
the Roman conquest the conQuerors es-
ia blshed extensive smelling works,
which existed at least as late as the
Saxon conQuest-St. James Gazette.

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
tree at all. 1t has no woody fiber. 1t is
large. green. fieshy 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 one bunch of fruit only.
which n 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 1t is growing up and ma
turing its fruit ii is at the same time
sending up from it's roots other young
plants or suckers - perhaps eight OF
nine of them. Each of these will pro
duce its own bunch In turn. some OF
them in 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 Ii at any
season. and the fruit ripens all the
year round. When once 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.

VARIETIES OF CRAMPS.
Curious Affections of Men In Various
Walks of Life.

One of the curious consequences Of
the modern division of labor Is the
cramp that attacks those who constant
~ use their hands in one particular
manner.
Writing cramp was the first to ap-
pear, being quite unknown until the in
PRODUCTION of steel pens. 1t affects men
far oftener than the fair sex, and. sin
gularly, those who suffer are not liter
airy men, but copyists. 1t is almost in
durable, and even when the left hand
Is used the cramp very soon crosses
over to it.
Musicians of every kind are attacked.
Among pianists it is chiefly ladies am
bilious to become professionals who
are the victims. Violent pain, weak
ness and fatigue of the arm make play
ing an impossibility. Violinists are at
fected both in the fingers Of the left
hand and the hand that holds the bow.
Clarinet players get cramps of the
tongue, and flute players get cramp in
the larynx.
Photographers suffer very often, and
they call it loss of the grip" TailorS
get cramps in legs as we'll as hands.
Smiths and carpenters get what is
called hammer cramp," resulting from
the enormous number Of blows struck.
1t is estimated that forger of knives
and scissors strikes $4,000 blows every
day.
Drivers get cramps in the hand, espe-
cially in the case of those who break in
hard mouthed horses. Cigarmakers.
watchmakers, photographers. auction
GERS. sawyers, billiard players, dentists.
turner's. stampers. weavers. painters
money counters and ballet dancers-all
suffer from their own peculiar cramps
and often so severely that they have to
exchange their employment for some
other.

To understand how to rest il OF more
importance than to know how TO work.
The latter can be learned easily. The
former it takes years to learn. and some
people never learn the art Of resting.
1t Is simply a change of scenes and ac-
bvities. Loafng may not be resting:
sleeping is not always resting; sitting
down for days. with nothing TO do. Is
not restful. A change Is needed to
bring into play a different set Of facul-
ties and to turn the life into q new
channel The man who works hard
finds his best rest in playing hard; the
man who Is burdened with care finds
relief in something that Ia active, yet
free from responsibility. Above all.
keep good natured and don't abuse
your best friend. the stomach.

Local Men Who Are Backing
Proposition Think That 1t
Will Be Successful in All
Departments.
TO BE CONDUCTED ON A
STRICT BUSINESS BASIS.
Attempt viii Be Made to Make
1t a National Resort Instead
Of One Catering to This
Locality.

The Cedar Springs company. recent
ly organized under the laws of Ohio,
with Albert E. Morel president and
Harry Thornburg, treasurer, promis-
es to be great success. For the
first time in the history of this resort,
1t will be run on thorough business
standards. Mr. Morel will have COM
plete charge of the Navajo water de-
partment. Under MS management
this water is expected to acquire a
countrywide reputation.
We are confident that the new
company will be d financial success"
stated Mr.. Morel today. The resort
will be run on an entirely different ba-
sis than it has heretofore. All the
departments will be operated on the
best business standards. Richmond
capital will be interested in the COM
pany and the merchants Of this city
are certain to derive much benefit
from the hotel, which will be both a
pleasure and health resort"
The hotel will be managed by one
of the best known hotel men in the
central west, w. G.. Deane. 1t is I'M
derstood that it will be thoroughly ad-
vertised throughout the country to Sc
cure patronage from coast to coast in
stead of depending upon eastern Indi-
ana and western Ohio as the manage
ments of the hotel in the past have
done. 1t is probable that the hotel
will be ready to open for the season
sometime in June. Preparations for
making necessary improvements at
the hotel and the other buildings are
now being made.

CRIMINAL BEES.


Honey Gatherers That Have very
Loose Moral ideas.
Almost every form and variety Of hui
man crime is to be found among ami
mails. Cases Of theft are noticed among
bees. Buchner In his Psychic Life Of
Animals speaks of thievish bees
which. in order to save themselves the
trouble of working, attack well stocked
hives in masses. kill the sentinels and
the inhabitants. rob the hives and car
~ of the provisions. After repeated
enterprises of this description they &C
Qure taste for robbery and violence.
They recruit whole companies. which
get more and more numerous. and
finally they form regular colonies OF
brigand bees.
But ii is a still more curious fact that
these brigand bees can be produced ar
tificially by giving working bees q mix
ture Of honey and brandy to drink.
The bees soon acquire a taste for this
beverage. which has the same disas-
trous effects upon them as upon men.
They become Ill disposed and irritable
and lose all desire to work. and finally,
when they begin to feel hungry, they
attack and plumber the well supplied
hives.
There is one variety OF bees - the
sphecodes - which live exclusively up
on plumber.

A Curious Wooden watch.

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 oddly was
nothing more or less than a wooden
watch. The case was made of brier
root. and the inside works-all except
three Of the main wheels and the
springs. which were OF metal - were
made from a piece of an old lockwood
rule. The face. which was polished
until IL looked like slab Of finest
ivory. was made from the shoulder
blade of an old COW that had been
killed by the cars. "Doriots queer
watch" as it 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.
