terested In This Wonderful Tale
Of Adventure.

One Of the big ocean liners was sew
eral days out from New York on u
trip across the Atlantic. 1t was din
ner time, and those at the table fell to
telling stories about their experiences
ut sea. Finally 1t was the turn OF q
person who had previously been boast
ing of his lineage. He told this yarn
says the Youths Companion.
1T happened number of years
ago." said he ION my fifteenth trip
across the ocean, when we ran short
of some provisions, particularly eggs.
milk. fruit and fresh meat. We were
very fortunate to have on board
resourceful fellow named Brand, who
pulled us out of the difficulty in good
shape. First he went to the hatch
way for eggs, but, as they were lit
tie too old TO eat, they were used for
cooking, and he requested the captain
to have the ship lay to. This opera
ton was repeated until we had eggs
enough to go round.
"Then, at Brands suggestion, the
captain fired ships rocket into the
Milky Way, and all we had to do was
to hold buckets and catch the milk as
II poured out of the hole made by the
rocket. For a fruit supply we let
down buckets over the side of the ship
and picked up enough ocean currants
TO last for a week. The next day we
had foul weather, which provided US
with plenty of ducks and chickens.
Some of these we ate and others we
kept to replenish our egg supply"
81 was on that very trip" spoke up
a wag at the end of the table. 1T was
the steamer Baltic, in October, 1908,
New York to Liverpool. We also had
on board fair-sized goose, which was
overlooked in some way. I'm sure they
never ate the bird, but I've wondered,
all these years until today whatever
became of it,"

Novel Bed for ParaIytics.

One of the great problems in certain
cases of spinal wounds with paralysis
is how to move the patient sufficiently
to make his bed and tend his wounds
without increasing his sufferings by
moving him. The new bed solves the
problem. Surrounding the bed just at
the edge of the mattress is rectan-
gular framework of hollow metal pip
Ing. Connecting the two parallel sides
are broad bands of webbing stretched
across the mattress, and on these the
patient lies. The two short sides of
the framework, the one at the head Of
the bed and the other at the foot, are
connected by a geared wheel with a
vertical steel post so that by simply
turning q handle at the head or foot
Of the bed the framework, with the
patient lying on the webbing, can be
lifted off the mattress without his po-
sltion being changed in the least.

VALUABLE ARTICLE OF FOOD
Banana Really Is Not Appreciated
Anything Like as Much as 1t
Ought to Be.

The banana Is one Of the most use
full of all foods. When the population
of the earth becomes overcrOwded, we
shall have to eat more bananas and
less bread. An acre in wheat Will
yield 900 pounds of food. An acre In
bananas will yield 10000 pounds.
The banana resembles in compost
ton the sweet potato. Both contain
IL per cent Of protein and 20 per
cent carbohydrates. The banana con-
tains more starch than fruits Of the
temperate cline. AS 1t ripens, the
starch gradually turns to sugar.
The late Edgar Wallace Conable
said that the banana is the only food
which may safely be eaten when 1t
has been picked green. This, he eX-
planned, Is because the green bananas
draw nourishment out of the great CEN
trail stem, which gradually shrinks and
withers. A banana should never be
eaten until the skin Is beginning to
turn black. Some claim that they
should he entirely black. However, IT
IS not necessary to 60 so far as that.
AS they turn black the starch lurns to
sugar. Scrape the white material from
beneath the skin before you eat the
fruit.

the passionate love expressed in those
