Yards Valueless.
Mr.. Gemmell again stated that if
the highway is constructed across
Second street that it would make the
railway yards valueless and would
practically mean that the yards
would have to be moved.
He outlined his proposals made
last week to the city, to aid in the
repairing of the present. highway or
to give the city an eighty-foot right
of way along the lake shore if the
highway is constructed 12O feet
north of Second street or midway be-
tween Second and Third street. If
the latter project is accepted, he
stated that the railway company
would do all in it's power to aid the
city, even loaning the use of tools,
etc.
For Own Interest.

in this new Nymore road project"
said Mr.. Gemmell, "but we do ask
that our own rights and interests be
taken into consideration"
This afternoon at 2:3O o'clock,
Mr. Gemmell and G.. A. Walker and
Engineer Davidson of the railway
company and city officials met to dis
cuss the new proposition made by the
: railway company. The city officials
were Aldermen Smart, Lycan, Erwin

Quill pens are no longer used except

them to make or mend pens. In fact,
where is there man or woman who
knows how to put point OH a quill :?
1t was once an art which every man
had to master. though women were
generally bad at it. as they are now at
sharpening pencils.
In the old days the first question
asked of schoolmaster was the one
whether he was skillful in pointing

sure of that. for his father used to tell

The art Of handwriting has certainly
declined since the quill pen went out Of
use. The old fellows could really write.

ute by calling writer quill

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

While You Wait.
If good sized. healthy banana tree
is cut of few feet above the ground
during the wet season the tree will not
die. but nine times out of ten will send
up a 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 tile banana tree is not hard
and woody like other trees, but is real,
" composed of undeveloped leaves
wrapped tightly together in a 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

Of the leaves. because they are always

will see exactly how the leaves are

mana tree. and If you cut the roll III
two you will find that it 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 bear
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 windbreaks for other
