DULUTH WILL PROFIT BY
IRON ORE BOOM.

Duluth, Nov. 30.-That Du-
luth will benefit enormously by
the boom in the iron and steel
industry forecast for next year
is the opinion of authorities in
the trade. It is estimated that
the Eastern requirements of
Minnesota iron ores in 1916
will run as high as 100000
to 6O,00O,000 tons, which will
break all records, the highest
so far being 100000 tons in
one season. Many authorities
expect an advance of 81 ton
in iron ore, 50 strong does the
certainty of demands seem. AS
a result operators are prepar-
ing to stock pile heavily.

ORIGIN OF THE GL0R-

The name tomato seems to be
of Aztec origin, given as tomato
by some authorities and as xito-
mate by others, and still persists
in some of the older Mexican
town names, such as Jonathan.
Tomatepec, ETC., but the general
consensus of opinion among bot
anists seems to be that the plant
and its culture for edible purposes
originated in Peru, whence it spread
to other sections of the Americas. 1t
is certain, at any rate, that it was
known and cultivated for its fruit
centuries before the Columbian dis
covery.
That the cultivated tomato was
known to some of the European bot
anists over $50 year ago is evident
ed by the fact that two large va
rieties were described by Matthiolus
as early as 1854, but for many years
it was only in southern Europe that
the value of the fruit for use in
soups and as a salad was recognized.
1t was quite generally used in Spain
and Italy during the seventeenth
century, but in England and in
northern Europe generally the
plant was grown only in botanical
gardens as a curiosity and for Orna-
mental purposes. 1T was seldom eat
en-, being commonly regarded as I'M
healthy and even poisonous. This
belief probably arose because of the
close resemblance of the plant to it's
allied relative the nightshade, or
belladonna, and had, OF course, no
foundation in fact. II was not I'M
til the early part of the nineteenth
century that the tomato came into
general use as food in northern
Europe and even in the United
States. Since about 1885, however
the use and cultivation of the vege-
table has grown to such an extent
that it has now become one of the

When successful process Of
canning the fruit was evolved the
tomato industry at once assumed
large proportions. 1t was fount
that or all cooking purposes the
canned fruit was as good as tina
fresh from the vine, and as a result
thetomato has become a staple foot
the year round, and millions Of dol
