GETTING KNOWLEDGE
OF ALASKA
Ono Good Thing About the Recent
Volcanic Eup-
ton.

Old Katmai is in giant eruption
again. and all that part Of Alaska
from Yukutat to Unga has been rocked
by such earthquakes which would lay
city like San Francisco fat In one
tangled mass of level ruins, while the
eyes winked.
Alaska has been grossly misrepre-
sented by two sorts of fiction writer's
one picturing it as a. land of eter-
nal Ice and snow, the other as a vast,
fertile region. waiting only the hand
OF the husbandman to make it a new
worlds granary. 1t is neither the one
nor the other.
No one can say that the climate and
soil OF Alaska are either this or that,
for the simple reason that region
stretching over 1000 miles from east
to west has an infinite variety of
climate and soil.
Attu, the extreme western island OF
the Aleutian chain, is further west OF
San Francisco than San Francisco is
west of New York, and the geograph-
ical center Of the United States, on
the east and west line, is set out in
the neighborhood of the Farallones.
And, just as it may be knee deep in
snow in Dakota while outdoor picnics
are going on in California, SO some
parts of Alaska may be cold enough
to freeze the feet Of china dog.
while In other parts the weather is
agreeable The writer has Ynado ono

THE BANANA AS AN
ARTICLE OF FOOD
How They Should Be Used to OBJ
J tain the Best Re-
suits,

Over 100000 punches OF bananas
are reported to have been brought to
the United States last year, yet 1t is
popularity stated In many quarters
that the banana Is difficult of diges-
ton and may give rise to alimentary
distress.
A closer consideration OF the com
position Of the banana may serve to
elucidate the situation. The fruit is
brought to our northern markets
green, and Is ripened by artificial
heat. This process can be fastened
! or delayed within certain limits, ac-
cording to the momentary demands
OF the reatil trade The color of the
peel gives evidence of the degree OF
ripeness.
The green banana contains in the
part exclusive of the skin, about is
per cent Of protein and 20 to % per
cent of carbohydrate, almost entirely
starch. In the ripe banana with yell
low brown peel, the edible part con-
| tains somewhat less &c to 10 per
cent? of carbohydrate but that which
! remains Is now almost entirely in the
form Of soluble sugars. Broadly speak
ing, then, the ripe banana is about
one-fiftn starch. Most of the remain
der of the edible pulp Is water. In
termedfate degrees of ripeness pres
ent starch and sugar in reciprocal
proportions varying between the linn

| Inasmuch as bananas are commonly
eaten uncooked, 1t is obvious that
there is trouble in having them d.
gested if the fruit is not ripe, that
is, If the skin has not begun to shriv-
ell and darken Raw starch may be
| singularly irritating to the alimentary
! tract of man. and is at best poorly
utilized whether it be ingested In the
form of uncooked potatoes, chestnuts,
bananas or other native starchy foods
No one would advise the use of I'M
| cooked POTATOES; yet many people
eschew thoroughly ripe banana in
the belief that this wholesome fruit
is rotten" when the skin becomes

the yellow-green, STRENGTHENING fruit
at a stage OF incomplete ripeness.
Green bananas, like green" apples,
are unwholesome so long as the starch
has not been adequately converted
into sugars n the ripenlng processes
But the delicious and innocuous ripe
banana should not be made to suffer
in its diettic reputation because OF
the ignorance Of the consumer. Here
is a chance for popular education.
Two other factors deserve notice in
the defense of the maligned banana.
One concerns the reprehensible habit
of gulping down this fruit without
adequate mastication.
The second misfortune is one that
! involves the handling OF the bananas.
Although this fruit Is sealed by ma
ture in practically germ-free and
germ-proof packages, most fruit
dealers are wont to tear off bananas
from the stems to which they are at
tached. One end of the fruit pulp is
thus exposed to the air and decay
soon sets in.

This was the well-known woman s-rights
woman's last public appearance as she
designated 1t. The lecture was given
for the benefit OF DR.. Walkers sanato-
rum in oswego, n. Y. She was attired in
a black fnocx coat In the lapel of which
she wore u tiny American flag. She
wore top boots, and a beaver hat was
held on her head by means Of green
ribbon tied under her chin.
"Reminiscences treated on the speak
er's experiences in the civil war. In which
she participated In the Union ranks as
an army surgeon. When the civil war
broke out" said DR.. Walker, 81 left my
practice and went to the front and en-
tered the Union army. While engaged on
ths9battlefields OF the South, / continued
TO wear the American reform costume
as 1 had done many years previous to
the war, but eventually dressed In full
male attire. discarding all the uncomfor-
table articles of female apparel Ny
services In the field were rewarded by a
medal OF honor"
DR.. Walker draws a small pension, and
she is the only woman in the world who
was an assistant army surgeon. She
was the FIRST woman officer ever ex-
changed, as a prisoner OF war for q man
