First Lake Steamships.

The first steamboats, on the Great
Lakes were launched a century ago,
in 1916, on Lake Ontario. The craft
operated by steam were constructed in
that year on the shores of Lake On
tario-the Ontario, built at Sackett's
Harbor, N. Y, and the Frontenac, which
was launched at Ernesttown, Canada.
The Frontenac was one of the finest
steamboats, afloat at that period. 1t
cost $4,000 and was 700 tons burden,
it's length of deck being ITO feet. The
Frontenac was placed in operation in
1917, making three round trips each
month from Kingston to York and Nj
agara. Capt. James Mckenzie, who
had had experience in the British navy,
was placed in command. The Fronte-
nae was in service OH Lake Ontario for
ten years, and soon had several rivals
for the lake trade. A fare Of SIS was
charged from Kingston to Niagara for
frst-class passengers, but deck passen-
gers We're carried for $3.75 head. The
freight rate was -four shillings per bar
rel bulk" The first steamboat on
Lake Erie was the Observation-Disclosures,
which was launched at Black Rock
near Buffalo, in 1918.

oLngsT INDUSTRY OF EARTH
Production of era1n Is Easily Entitled
u to the Credit Which Belongs
= to the Title.

SIN the early history of thesrace our
ancestors probably noticed that Certain
birds and animals sought much, of
their food in the seeds of grasses while
the smaller animals dug into the earth
for roots and tubers," said Ernest
Clark, English chemist, in addressing
the congress of applied chemistry.
s "Thus man early learned to make
the starchy foods one of the main ar
ticles of his daily fare, and it is true
today that among all peoples in all
climates bread from cereals or some
starchy substance is considered the
staff Of life" he continued.
The greatest source of starchy food
is, of course, the seeds Of the various
cereals which we classify as grain.
The amount of such material produced
by the soil in year is almost beyond
calculation. The production of this
golden flood of grain is the earth's
oldest and greatest industry.
To produce these harvests the soil
supplies the water and mineral nutri-
ments, while the carbon dioxide and
sunlight lend their aid through no
effort of man. His duty, then, is to see
that the soil is kept in its most pro-
ductive condition. The observation of
primitive man that the seeds of certain
plants made an acceptable food was
the beginning of agriculture.

RAW STARCH FOR DIABETES
Kansas City Physician Uses 1t to est
Sugar Out of the Systems of
His Patients.

DR.. e. B. Knerr Of Kansas City pre-
scribes q diet of raw starch for his
diabetic patients. In the Missouri
State Medical Association Journal he
says he makes them go to hospital
or sanatoriuin so as to get them away
from the meddlesome temptations of
friends; then he places them on raw
starch and water only for from one to
four days, until they have burned all
the sugar out Of their systems.
The starch is given in the form OF
corn starch, a rounding teaspoonful
stirred into q glass of water three or
four times a day. Or he lets them
eat raw potatoes with a little salt. A
daily sponge bath and rundown is the
only other treatment.
As soon as no more sugar can be
detected he allows the patient to eat
lettuce or celery with little salt and
a soft-boiled egg. After awhile meat
and other vegetables are added to the
diet. All sugar and cooked starch are
barred until the patient has been su-
gar-free for several months when lit
tie toast or bread is allowed. If the
sugar returns the patient is put back
on the raw starch and water for day
or two.

every shot fred. Thus they form
passageways for more hot gas and
that tends to enlarge them still
further. The inner surface thus be-
comes roughened and the bore begins
to corrode. Finally, the bore becomes
so enlarged that it allows the gases
to escape. The shell does not then
acquire it's proper rotation and it's
flight becomes cratic.
All guns except small ones are now
constructed with Innings in the tube,
which, when the bore is worn out,
are removed and replaced by new
ones. The cost of refining a gun is
approximately 80 per cent of the cost
of the gun. There appears to be no
limit to the number CT times that a
gun can be refined. The small arms
used in this country are considered
to be worn out actcr 5000 to $500
rounds have been fred. Small naval
guns can be fired about 1000 times
before they are regarded as worn out.
Large Pinch and 14-inch naval guns
are considered to have life, on one
lining, of not more than 80 rounds.
Low velocity guns, such as howitzers
and mortars, have CORRESPONDENCE
longer lives than high velocity guns
of the same caliber, because the pres
sure they develop, and hence the tenn
peratures, are lower.

The Ieuion of Honor.

The famous French order known as
the Legion of Honor was Instituted by
Napoleon Bonaparte, when he was first
consul, ia years ago. Although this
order confers honorS upon distin-
guished civil servants of the state and
eminent benefactorS of humanity, it
is provided that three-ffths Of all the
medals awarded must go to the officers
and men of the army and navy. Since
the outbreak of the war thousands of
medals of the Legion have been award
ed to soldiers and sailors and public
servants. There are now five classes,
the Grand Cross being the highest. Its
recipients are numbered by hundreds,
whereas there are thousands Of medals
of the lower classes being worn. The
badge of the Legion of Honor is five
rayed white enameled star, bearing on
the diverse side a female head and
the words "Republique Franchise"
and on the reverse side two crossed
flags and the words "Honneur ct Pa
trie." Many British and American cit
liens have received the cross of the
Legion Of Honor, and since the war it
has also been conferred upon the mil
itary leaders of all of the allies of
France.

WHY BANANAS CATCH COLD
Any Sudden Change of Temperature
Affects the Fruit and Has In
furious Effect.

You have probably had many ba-
mana that has been covered with
brown spots and streaks of brown and
is very "squashy" inside. Most pco-
pie think that such banana is mere
ly overripe. AS q matter of fact, that
particular fruit has caught bad cold.
Bananas are shipped to America in
great punches, the fruit being cut
when it is green and hard. If they
were cut when they were ripe they
would bruise and rot on their way.
The big green punches of fruit are
hung up in q hot storeroom to ripcn,
and to come to perfection they must
be kept in an even temperature. Any
sudden change of heat, a rush of cold
air or draft, makes the fruit spotted,
and it quickly becomes sodden and I'M
eatable. That is because it has caught
cold.
When that happens the punches of
fruit are at once sold, often at an ex-
tremely low rate, and for a short time
the bananas are "cheap today"
