LIGHTHOUSE BUILT Il IT'S
Structure at Entrance to Boston Hsr-
Dor Was the First Erected
in the United States.

Boston light, on an island at the
entrance to Boston harbor, was the
first lighthouse established in Amer
lea In July of 1715 the final act
providing fer the erection of the
beacon WIS passed. The act pro-
vided that all vessels should pay to
the collector of impost duty of one
penny a ton on both the inbound
and outbound passage. Coasting
vessels were taxed only two shillings
upon clearance. and fishing vessels
and vessels employed in bringing
wood, stone and other building ma
terials from any Of the parts with
in this province" were to be let off
with an annual tax Of five shillings.
The keeper of the light was warned
to carefully and diligently attend
his duty" under pain of being fined
not more than 600 ($5OO) for neg
lect of duty. His salary was fixed
at $50 ($25O) a year. In 1719 the
light keeper asked the general court
that a great gun be placed on said
island to answer ships in fog" A
cannon was set up the next year and
is still preserved at the station.

TIMING BANANAS

1t is generally known that bana-
nas are shipped while yet green and
unripe, but few persons are aware
of the careful and elaborate time
calculations required in setting out
the plants and cutting off the fruit
in order to insure the arrival of the
bananas in proper condition at their
destination.
When a plantation is begun the
young plants are set out at certain
periods 10 that they will produce at
regular prefxed times during the
year. A certain number of days be-
fore the arrival of steamer the
green fruit is cut and a close calcu-
lation of the time that will be con-
sumed in the voyage must always be
made, else the bananas will be
spoiled. Fruit steamers carry steam
heating apparatus to insure a uni
form temperature throughout the
voyage. The ripening is calculated
to occur only after the fruit has
reached the retail dealer.-Wash-
