Rfpening Bananas.

It is a familiar fact that bananas are imported green, but 1t came as a new thing to a visitor to the banana district in Colombia to find that ba- nanas are not permitted to ripen on the plant even down there. They are cut and set to hang somewhere until they wither ripe, as the phrase is. Ba- nanas do not have to be yellow to be ripe. That is only the color of the skin when it has dried up. To the person who is accustomed to eating bananas only when they are yellow 1t seems odd to peel them when they are green and find that they are perfectly ripe within and fit to eat.-New York Sun.

Division of Labor.

"Got any work this mornin', Mistah Boyd?" asked old Billy Bulger, safe in the knowledge that no work would be entrusted to him.
 "No," was the response; and then, before Billy could ask for the custom ary contribution: But wait minute. Lawyer Phillips has owed me S2O for twenty years. Collect 1t and I'll give you half" And the merchant, knowing how bad was the debt, winked at a waiting customer.
 The old man found the lawyer in the middle of a group of prospective clients and influential citizens. Thrustfng through the group, he called, in sten- torian tones:
 "Mistah Phillips. suh."
 "Well:" queried the lawyer, much annoyed.
 ',Mistah Boyd done tell me that you've owed him S20 for about hun dred years; and he wants to know kin you pay him, suh."
 The lawyer hurried to Billy's side.
 You idbt," he said sotto voce, do you want to ruin my business? Here!" and he thrust a S10 bill into the old mans hand.
 Back to the merchant toddled the old man.
 "Well, Billy" said the merchant. "did you ger it:'
 The old man grinned.
 'I got my half, all right" he chuckled; but you'd better look out when you go back to get your half he's right smart hot over 1t, suh ."- Success Magazine.

A TRAVELLING BRIDGE FOR RAIL-
 WAY CONSTRUCTION.

A device for building a railway em. bankment, reminding one somewhat of the construction of cantileyer bridge by adding pieces continually 10 the end of one of the arms, Is now In use in New Jersey. The building of an embankment by first making false work in the form of a trestle, and dumping earth from a train standing on 1t, Is familiar. This may be likened to the building of a bridge by means of similar false work, which serves to sustain the pieces till they are fastened together. In the new method. the embankment is pushed forward continuously from one ex- tremity by dumping from a train on so-called travelling bridge" one end of which rests on the embank- ment while the other is hung from cableway, as shown in the picture.
 Briefly the apparatus consists of two towers. one fixed and one movable. between which a double cableway is suspended. From this cableway Is hung a cradle, or travelling bridge, on
The Wrangell sentinel., 1909-07-29

which a three-foot-gauge track Is laid. Beginning just inside the movable tower a construction track is started on the line of fill on which the dump cars are pushed. As the fill progresses this track is extended out over its cradle, which is moved ahead with the fill The view shows the track extending out over the fill and the cars dumping. The cars are backed on to the track and each car is dumped as 1t reaches the end of the fill, so that the empties are always at the suspended end of the structure and the filled cars near the supports.
 The fixed tower at the far end of the line is a standard cableway tower of timber, firmly held in place by the pressure of the cables and by it's an. chorage to the ground. It will not be moved during the entire construction. The movable tower is of structural steel.
 The cableway at present is dumping HOO to 1,200 cubic yards a day with no trouble whatsoever It could handle many times that amount, but Is linn ited by the amount of excavation iD the cut farther back.

 I may have looked somewhat sharply at Islip at these words. for when turn. ed to the girl I caught an amused gleam in her eyes.
 Thank you. Rodney. Aunt Elizabeth would thank you. too, If she knew"
 The young man flushed and bit his lip. Miss Graham had provoking tone when she wished. I felt sorry for him.
 Wont you sit down and have some ?" I asked
 He shook his head. .'I must be getting back, now have found her.
 He was too polite to look at his watch, but we both knew what he was thinking. 'I left my horse in your back yard"
 Miss Graham rose. Il must go. too Thank you. MT. Seldon. for the sunset and the tea. MT.

Williams and Mnsgrores led the
party and placed Brewer and his son
