The Wonderful Banana.

Some people believe that the banana
was the original forbidden fruit Of the
garden Of Eden. In any case it is one
of the curiosities Of the vegetable
kingdom, being not tree. palm, a
bush. shrub. a vegetable or herb,
but herbaceous plant with the status
Of tree. Although it sometimes at
tains a height Of thirty feet. there Is
no woody fiber in any part Of its struc-
ture. and the punches growing ON the
dwarf banana plant are often heavier
than the stalk which supports them.
No other plant gives such a quantity
OF food to the acre as the banana. 1t
yields H times more by weight than
the potato and 1873 times more than
wheat Moreover, no insect will at.
tack 1t. and it Is always immune from
diseases Of any kind.

MASSACHUSETTS TO
TEST PRIMARY Law
First Election in the State
Under New Statute Is
Held Tomorrow.
National News Association

BOSTON, Sept. 25.-Tomorrow
Massachusetts faces her first election
under the direct primary lava step
in the direction of more direct govern
ment by the people, which the polltl-
clans and the citizenship in general OF
the Commonwealth are watching with
interest.
The old time conventions, some
times machine-ridden, sometimes boss
dominated, art thing of the past and
it is to the voters themselves that the
choice of who shall represent them in
the state government is directly pre-
sented. What they will do is the moot
question.
Much of the interest in the coming
caucus is destroyed by the fact that
Governor Foss, who will undoubtedly
| be the Democratic nominee has no
| candidate to make him spend any
| great effort in order to again become
his party choice Honest Tom His
gen of Springfield is candidate
against Foss, but his campaign ap-
pears to be entirely local, and what
! ever votes he receives III tle 'lCiiiiI!
of the Berkshires will be cast rather
for his devotion to principle than a
belief that he has chance to become
the Democratic standard bearer.
A Lively Campaign.
On the other hand the Republican
campaign is both lively and interest
ing, and the three cornered fight fol
the nomination has stirred up polltlca
pots that have not boiled for some
years 1t is rather an unusual thing tt
see three Republican candidates fol
the states highest office, and 1t 1:
most unusual to see them all go be
fore the people. 1t was fashionable II
the past to fight it out before the con
vention, and the voter had the choice
of accepting the candidate OF the lead
ers or boiling the ticket.
1t has been a long fight and har'
fight for all three candidates. 1t ha
effectively demonstrated that Will
the new direct primary law may be

grand thing for the people, it is an Ell
fectiye barrier against the average
man running for high office unleses
he is well supplied with the worlds
goods.
Representative Norman H. White
does not suffer from lack of funds and
if his candidacy is unsuccessful it Will
not be because he has not conducted
the most systematic. and thorough
campaign that money can make. The
Brookline representative has been con-
stantly on the move since the closing
of the legislature. His agents have
canvassed the large mill cities and in
Essex county particularly an effort
has been made to line most OF the
| rough and ready members OF the party
| for the anti-New Haven champion.
| That is where Candidate Whites in
surgency begins and ends. While he
| has posed as the arch enemy of the
| corporations and an ardent supporter
of progressive policies and principles,
he has not departed from the beaten
path that machine candidates trav-
erse enough to make him obnoxious to
any of the big leaders.
Pet of the Machines.
Lieutenant Governor Louis A
rockingham is the pet of the state
and city machine. While machines
were supposed to have been put down
and out by the new direct primary
law, there is evidence that they still
exist though whether they are as pc
tent and effective a force as in the
past, is yet to be demonstrated. Froth
ingham is being given all the suppor
that the state machine can give hin
in the open and his personal machine
: is doing effective work besides.

MUNCIE, Ind, Sept. 25.-Although
the annual state convention OF In

ARRANGEMENTS for the gathering which
ia expected TO be the largest and most
pretentious ever held by the Indiana
division.
Post r will publish commercial
history of the state in advance of the
state convention. The history will be
published in book form, handsomely
bound in gold embossed covers. The
volume will contain history OF the
association, together with a complete
history of the banking, wholesale and
manufacturing industries OF the state,
also a history of the state OF Indiana,

places, beautifully illustrated, thus
making il work of art, as well as a
valuable business publication.
| A copy of this work will be present
ed to every delegate attending the con
vention in Muncie next May, while the
two hundred and forty posts of the T.
=. A. in the United States will be fur
nished with copy free of charge as
will every delegate attending the ma
tional convention which will be held
in Peoria, H., next June. This cir
culation alone will be a splendid ad
yertisement for the state and its com
mercial industries, aside from the
MANY thousands of copies that vii

STRANGE RAIN TREE OF PERU

The rain tree of Peru has the power
of collecting the dampness in the at
mosphere, and condensing 1t into
continuous supply Of rain. The tree
grows very large, and is rich In
leaves. The Indians call it "tamacas-
pi." In the,dry season, when, with the
rivers low, the power OF condensation
seems at the highest with the tree,
water falls from the leaves and oozes
from the trunk. The water spreads
around the tree in copious quantities,
part of 1t entering the soil and fer.
tflizing 1t. The ground is canalized so
as to regulate the course Of the water.
IT Is estimated that one of these trees

Of an old-fashioned awakening. z
Poore was steady attendant at the
services and several times he asked
in writing that his brethren and sis
tiers in the church pray that he might
have his voice restored. Finally there
came night when the excitement at
the revival seemed to be less than
usual, there was not, at least so much
loud singing and praying, though It Is
said 1t was remarked at the time there
was deeper and more intense feeling
than before.
The revivalist requested those pres
ent to send to him, written out on
slips Of paper, the things they most
urgently desired.
ct may be the will OF Providence to
restore your speech to you at this
time" said an elder of the church to
Poore.

request to that effect and passed 1t up
to the pastor. At the same time he
