Many Species of Banana,

The banana as Il substitute for the
potato would have one drawback. 1t
has been found that those who live
mainly upon this article Of diet soon
tend to become what is politely called
"tubby." The banana with which we
are all familiar is only one of many
useful species. Cochin China produces
a single fruit that is an ample meal for
three men, and in East Africa an in

VIOLENT DEATHS.

ting In Of Risor Norris.
More than once the question of
whether a person has died natural or
unnatural death turns upon something
grasped in the hand. The object Is
held because the hand stiffens through
what is known as rigor mortis (pro-
nOunced rye-gor mor-tis), stiffening
of the muscles Of the body after death.
Now, If person dies naturally this
stiffening Of the muscles does not take
place, as a rule, until two hours or
more after death, and then 1t comes OIL
slowly. In cases of violent death, how
ever, rigOr mortis sets in Immediately.
1t is through this that many muir
derer has been caught and many a so
called accidental death proved to be in
territorial.
One of the most remarkable effects Of
this sudden stiffening after death ap-
pears in the account of the charge Of
Balaclava. Captain Nolan while riding
at the head Of the noble six hundred
had his chest torn open by a Russian
shell.
The arm lie was waving in the air at
the moment remained high uplifted,
and he retained his seat on his horse,
which wheeled around and passed
some distance through the ranks before
