Central America offers ideal condi-
tions for banana cultivation. The main
mountain backbone runs along the Pa
citic coast, the lesser ranges to the
eastward, leaving wide slopes, river
valleys and lowlands ON the Carib-
bean side. 1t IS in this section, a few
miles back from the coast. at an eleva-
ton of not more than go feet above
sea level, with its hot days and humid
nights and with an annual rainfall of
from 50 to 200 inches, thar the wilder
ness of tropical jungle has made way
for the greatest fruit farms of the
world. All within the past forty years
an enormous agricultural industry, with
its related interests of railways,
stores, docks, villages and hospitals,
has sprung up in region formerly al
most uninhabited. Central America
may indeed thank the banana trade
for by far the most progressive de-
velopment and constructive influence
which have ever reached its shores.
The modern banana plantation is
marvel OF system and immensity. all
the more impressive because of its
setting of primeval jungle. In the
transformation within few years
from a riotous wilderness of huge
trees, palms. vines, ferns and other
tropical growth to a vast tract of cul-
tivated land, there is succession of
steps which can scarcely be contem-
plated BY those familiar only with
farming operations in the temperate
zone. The surrounding country is first
thoroughly explored as to its fitness
for banana cultivation. Then comes
the clearing away of forest and brush,
the digging of the main drainage
bitches, the building of houses, rail-
roads and tramways and the planting.
Then follows the GRADUAL development
and extension until vast areas are
pouring their product methodicalIy
and regularly into the holds of the
ships at the loading ports.
The quality and condition of the
fruit and its prompt and careful han
ding are the all-important factors. To
dispatch the modern type of refrigera-
tor steamer at regular and frequent
Intervals, with a cargo of from 10000
to 10000 stems of prime, freshly cut
fruit, requires vast area of good
producing land, connected with the
tropical port by railways whose total
length may extend into the hundreds
Of miles The railways in turn are
fed by still more extensive system
of light tram lines. The fruit In some
instances is subject to a railway haul
of 20 miles. The riding, work and
pack animals required on the farms
run into the thousands, and a small
army of employees and laborers is con-
stantly engaged. Each plantation must
have good telephone communication
with its district headquarters and with
central office for the prompt distri-
button of cutting advices, control of
deliveries and operation of the fruit
trains. This central Office in turn COM
municates by cable or radio with the
head offices and with the ships en-
route, and every effort is made to have
the arrival of the fruit and the steam
er at loading port coincide. as well as
to have the fruit, after it is cut, put
The Ordway new era., 1922-01-27

aboard the ship In the hriefest possible
time. The whole system forms most
interesting example Of organization
and attention TO detail.
Edch plant developed to maturity
from the rootstock bears but single
bunch of bananas, which is made up
of so-called "hands" or clusters. These
hands grow separately in spirals, each
containing from 10 to % individual
bananas or fingers" Commercially,
bananas are classed as ranging from
nine to six hands, any bunch having
less than six hands not being readily
marketable. The standard CONNER
cial-sized bunch has nine hands. all
lunches with nine or more hands be-
ing classed as 'nine-hand" fruit.
As fruit of various stages of devel-
opment is coming on Mt the same time.
ii practiced eye is required to select
the punches of proper grade to be cut
for shipment. Cutting of the fruit in
given section is done once, and fire.
quently twice, a week. A cutting
gang" usually consists of three men ::
The "cutter," the hacker" and the
"muleman.' The "cutter" uses long
pole with a special knife attached to
the end. He hicks the trunk of the
tree a few feet below the bunch, and
the weight of the bunch causes the
trunk to weaken and bend where 1t
has been cut The top of the tree
with its bunch of fruit is steadied by
with a rush and crushing the fruit
1t is eased down until within the reach
of the "backer," who receives the
bunch on his shoulders and the "cut-
ter" sewers the bunch from the tree
with a machete and cuts off the bios
som end. The "backer" Immediately
carries the bunch on his shoulders to
the nearest packroad or tramine, and
the "cutter" then cuts down the tree
itself near the ground, where 1t quick
ly rots, the decayed stalk forming
humus which acts as good fertilizer
for the soil.
The loading of the steamer begins
Immediately upon the arrival of the
first fruit train at the port. The cut
ting orders and the schedule of the
fruit trains are so arranged that a
continuous flow of fruit to the loading
port is insured. The loading of the
steamship continues day and night
without interruption until completed,
cargoes of 5000 lunches being loaded
in u to 15 hours
AT all the principal banana loading
ports, the cars of fruit are switched
to the dock and the bananas carried
to conveyors or loading machines,
which take the punches into the holds
Of the steamship. Each class of fruit,
i. e., the nine, eight. seven and six.
hand punches, is usually slowed sep
arately, and stowage plans are pre-
pared, showing the location and guam
tity of the different classes, to facili-
tate the proper discharge of the cargo
upon arrival. The punches are slowed
on end, resting on the larger end or
butt Of the stalk, in from one to four
tiers Or with one or more tiers stand
ing and one or two tiers laid horizon
tally thereon

CHAPTER VI.
The Cave with Two Mouths.


Obscure as were the directions
which Hopperdown's niece had taken
from his dying lips, one point at least
was clear-the treasure-cave opened
on the sea. This seemed an immense
simplification of the problem, until
you discovered that the great wall of
cliffs was hOneycombed with fissures
One of the boats which had CON
veyed us from the Rufus Smith had
been left with us, and in 1t Mr.. Shaw,
with the Honorable Cuthbert and
Captain Magnus, made a preliminary
voyage of discovery. This yielded the
information above set down, plus,
however, the thrilling and significant
fact that cave seemingly predestlned
to be the hiding place of treasure, and
moreover cave with the specified
two openings, ran under the point
which protected the anchorage on the
south, connecting the cove with the
sea. Only the Scotchman remained
eXasperatingly calm and declined to
admit that the treasure was as good
as found.

and 1880. Ralph Waldo Emerson was
the best known of them, while
Ihoreau, Claiming, Alcott and Mar

members Of the circle. The transcen-
dental philosophy might be briefly de-
scribed as the belief that man reaches
his fullest development by fixing his
mind upon the highest and noblest eIe-
ments In life and overlooking the
mean and sordld phases. "As a man
thinks, so Is he" The modern cult of
the New Thought derives much of Its
doctrine from ranscendentalism.
