II is much TO bs regretted that the
stress of duties incident TO the close
of the Legislature will prevent the
Governor of Maryland from partici-

The placing of this tablet is a very
practical preservation Of history, not
only of Washington having resigned
his commission in this city, but as
this old building has been marked

City Of Annapolis. Since its recent
alteration, the fact of its being the
old Colonial Assembly Rooms must
sooner or later have passed out Of
remembrance
The local Chapter has always had
much interest and encouragement IN
its work, and in this case Mr.. Field
never has kindly donated his services
in placing the tablet.

BELIEVE BANANA FATAL TREE
Christian Inhabitants Of the East
Aserlbe lts Origin to the Gar
den Of Eden.

There exists a legend relative to
the Christian inhabitants OF the east
that they believe the banana to be the
tree of the source OF good and evil,
in bunch of the fruit Of which the
serpent that tempted Eve hid itself.
and they add that when Adam and
Eve became ashamed of their naked
ness they covered themselves with
the leaves of this plant.
The origin of the banana is given
as India, at the foot of the Himalayas.
where it has been cultivated since re-
motest antiquity. Its origin in the
new world is as doubtful as the origin
of the American Indian. Natural to
Asia and Africa, where more than 20
distinct species OF the genus are
known, it is said to have been brought
first to America from Spain early in
the sixteenth century and planted in
the island Of Santo Domingo. whence
its spread was rapid through the sur
rounding islands and the mainland.
This has never been authentically es-
LdDllbueu, uONbNeIt anu oOLhO authoA-
tiles include the banana among the
articles that formed the base Of food
supply of the Incas and the Aztecs be-
fore the arrival of the Spaniards.
Certain it is that throughout the
whole meridinal America there is a
strong tradition that at least two
species of the plantain were cultivated
long before the coming of the Euro
peans. Furthermore, it is singular that
in all the languages Indigenous to the
region where the banana appears that
the plant has a special name, not pro-
ceeding from the conquerors as was
the case in the names of many other
plants, animals and various articles in
troduced into America after its discov-
cry.
Grown over the entire extent Of the
meridian of the earth, the fruit of the
banana today forms in large part the
principal food of majority of the peo-
pies living under the tropical zone

Bees Starved to Death.

Thousands Of German emigrants
died of starvation in Holland this sum-
mer. whittier they had gone in search
of food. The victims were not per-
sons, however, but bees, of which the
beekeepers of Westphalia and the
Rhine districts take thousands Of
hives across the frontier every sum-
mer to the great peel heath, which in
summer is covered with masses Of
wild flowers. Special trains are en-
ployed to facilitate the transit of the
honey-makers. This year, however.
the flowers bloomed later than usual
and many Of the bees starved, SO
that honey will be scarce and dear in

New Idea for seItlno.

Those who buy betting for machin-
cry will not have to worry about the
price of leather in the years to come
if a certain sort of betting which is
being manufactured by firm in Con-
necticut proves to be success. The
new product is called flexible steel
betting and is really step further than
the chain and sprocket idea. The belt
ing is made in a complicated series Of
links and can be used on all pulleys
OF from two inches in diameter to the
largest size 1t has been designed es-
pecially for service where atmospheric
conditions are bad for leather and
rubber belts.

Power In Gray Matter.

The genius cannot be explained and
possibly never will be, but partial
explanation of his tremendous power
in some one direction LIS offered by
the examination Of his brain after
death. Only lately a very eminent sur
geon of Philadelphia died and when
his brain was examined 1t was found
that for large part 1t was like a
child's, but In those parts especially
required by his profession 1t was de-
veloped far more than is usual and
the layers of gray matter at these
spots were inordinately thick. 1t is
never right to draw any broad con-
clusion from q single instance, but
science has generalized from many in
stances Of this kind until 1t is ready
now 20 say that thought power ID
proportionato to the gray matter In
the Oentarg most usad or needed.

TURN FROM MEDICAL STUDY
Past Year Has Witnessed Marked
Decrease In the Number Of
Students Enrolled.

During the past year there were
$40 women studying medicine, or SO
less than last year, a decrease Of 40
below 1911 and a decrease Of S67 be-
low 1910. The percentage of women
students to the total number of med
ical students was S.S, as compared
with 81 last year. There were 154
women graduates this year, or 3.S
per cent of all graduates.
There has been very marked de-
crease, says the Journal Of the Amer
lean Medical association, in the num-
Der Of women in medicine since 1910,
when there were 907 women students
and 157 graduates, and in 1909, when
there were 921 women students and
