On a Banana Farm,

1t is estimated that single bunch OF
bananas coming from South America
passes through not less than II pairs
of hands before it is finally restored
aboard ship en- route to northern
market. AS soon as the tree is cut
and d large bunch detached it is
swung on to the head of a native
laborer and started to the collecting
point On the plantation. Long lines OF
natives may be seen filing from the
depths of the banana forest, bearing
the punches of fruit.
When the punches are all gathered
they are put on a car and carried to
the wharf, where they are unloaded
and again passed through chain of
hands to the ships hold.

THUNDER EXPLANATION.

The thunder that accompanies
lightning seems to be satisfactorily
explained by the fact that the elcc-
trio discharge in forcing its way
through the atmosphere heats the
air and the vapor lying in its path
to a very high temperature, causing
a very violent expansion along the
whole length of the flash, stimuli
taneously followed by an equally
rapid contraction and the produc-
ton of a wave of expansion and com

When Do We Dream?

There has been much discussion as
to whether one dreams only on falling
to sleep and during the act of waking
any time during sleep. While not
definitely determined as yet. the evi-
dence seems to be rather in favor of
the view that one may dream at any
time during the night, or the whole
night through. Dreaming is common
to perfectly healthy persons, and in
itself is no evidence of disorder.-Dr.
Frederick Peterson, in Harper's Maga

ADVISER TO KOREA IS SHOT
D. W. STEVENS WOUNDED sApLv
IN SAN FRANCISCO.
Native OF Hermit Kingdom seeks Ven.
oeanoe for Japan's Protectorats
Over His Country.

San Francisco, Mar. 24.-With the
revolver OF the would-be assassin con-
cealed in a handkerchief, D. w. Stew.
ems. formerly counselor to the Japan
ese embassy at Washington, but for
several years diplomatic adviser to
the Korean government at Seoul, was
shot and seriously wounded Monday
morning as he WAS about to leave for
Washington.
Three shots were fred at Mr. Stew.
ems from = 32.caliber revolver by /.
w. Chang, diminutive Korean. The
first bullet missed the diplomat and
accidentally struck aid perhaps fatal
~ wounded M. w. Chun. one of tho
three or four Koreans who were ly.
ing in wait for Mr.. Stevens. The
other two shots took effect in Mr..
Stevens back, one bullet striking him
under the right shoulder blade near
the spinal column and the second a
few inches lower. While the wounds
are serious, it is stated that the
chances for Mr.. Stevens recovery are
good.
The motive for the murderous at
tack apparently arises out Of the re-
sentiment of a small group of local
Koreans to the Japanese protectorate
over Korea, who sought to avenge
their country for the important part
played in the reorganization OF its gov
eminent by Mr.. Stevens. Sunday
night he was attacked at the Fairmont
hotel by delegation Of four or five
Koreans who had called to see him
with reference to an interview in
which he had praised the work Of the
Japanese in Korea.

suLzER DENoUNcEs MANN.
New York Congressman Enraged b.
cause Speech Is Expunged.

Washington. Mar. PA scene
somewhat out of the ordinary was
enacted in the house of representa-
tives Monday because of a charge
made by Mr.. Mann of Illinois that Mr.
Sulzer of New York had put in the
congressional record what purported
to be a speech delivered by him last
Saturday, but which Mr.. Mann charged
was not the one delivered.
It all had to do with Mr.. Suffers
claim that he and not Mr.. Mann was
the author Of the legislation which
brought the department of commerce
and labor into being. A resolution Of
fered by Mr.. Mann to expunge the
printed speech from the record was
adopted by strict party vote, but not
until after the house had been treated
to bitter denunciation of Mr.. Mann
by Mr.. Sulzer, and several lively tits
between the latter and the speaker.
