Jermyn never flinched. "You don't

Gerald smiled as he turned away. "I

THE CURIOUS BANANA TREE.
A Plant That Will Practically Grow
 While You Wait.

A Plant That Will Practically Grow While You Wait.
 i If a good sized healthy banana tree is cut off a few feet above the ground during the wet season the tree will not die, but nine times out of ten will send up q new shoot from the center of the trunk and will grow fast enough to make up for lost time, for within forty eight hours it will rear waving green leaves triumphantly above the severed trunk.
 The secret lies in the fact that the trunk of the banana tree is not hard and woody like other trees, but is real ly composed of undeYeloped leaves wrapped tightly together in q spiral form. When the tree grows these rolled up leaves push upward and merely unrolL Thus no time IS lost in forming buds and growing leaves as do ordinary trees. When the trunk is cut off 1t doesn't interfere with the growth of the leaves, because they are always pushing up from the center of the stalk. If you will roll a sheet of paper tightly and push against one end you will see exactly how the leaves are pushed up from the trunk of the ba- mana tree, and if you cut the roll in two you will find that 1t doesn't pre- vent you from pushing out the center of the roll as before.
 Although the banana tree repairs an Injury so rapidly and well, the shoot formed from the cut stalk seldom bears fruit or flowers. As these shoots are taller and stronger than the original trees, however, they are much better adapted to withstand wind and storms, and the natives frequently cut the ba- mana trees in order to force them to produce the strong, fruitless growth and to serve as wlndbreaks for other crOps.-A.

AL WOLF FINDS BIG
 NUGGET ON CACHE GREEK

Al Wolf and Arthur Meloche re- turned yesterday from Cache creek where they have been putting in the season on ground owned by M. A. Ellis.
 Working on a lay for the last part of the season, they took out considerable dust and two big mug gets, one of which is valued at S94, and is the second largest found in the district. The other one is valued at S44.
 This was a pretty dry year, - said Wolf, 'but we finished up pretty well on the last part of the season.
 "Euis opened up a new channel on Windy creek with gravel from which S1.OO pans could be taken frequently from bedrock to 12 feeep above. He took out S3,OOO from the first cut and has half the pit left, the water failing before ne could get it sluiced.
 The real trouble with the Caeue creek district" says Wolf, "is the lack of transportation. There is fine country in there which has not been touched yet and the develop meut will be delayed for years un- less wagon roads can be built from Knik or the nearest poln on the government railrOad."-Se- ward Post,
