lmportatlons Began in 1870, and Now
Fifty Million 5unches a Year
Are Brought Here.

How the dietary Of people can be
changed by modern transportation
methods is shown by the banana indus
try, writes Edwin e. SlossOn in the
Worlds Work. In 1870 Captain Baken,
coming back from Jamaica on his
schooner brought to. Boston a few
punches of bananas as curiosit1es
They attracted the attention Of A. W.
Preston, fruit dealer Of Boston, who
in 1885 started with an investment OF
$4,000 the enterprise that became the
United Fruit company, which now runs
fleet Of about hundred steamers to
the Caribbean and owns large planta-
lions on the islands and in Central
America. These localities have been
transformed from a sanitary and in
dustrial standpoint and supply US with
some 100000 punches Of bananas
year, half bunch, or Y bananas, for
every one Of us. The bananas are
picked green and delivered at various
points Of the United States in such
state as to ripen within two days from
arrival. All the bananas have to be
eaten within three weeks from the
time of picking in the West Indies.

DREAM OF MANY INVENTORS
Much Time and Thought Wasted on
Machines Meant to Attain
Perpetual Motion.

Perpetual motion has been the
dream of inventors for many cen
turtles. BY perpetual motion is usually
meant mechanical device which will
operate of it's own power without such
external or internal aids as wind, gas,
steam or any other element of force
Some have come very near to attain
ing kind Of perfection by a series
Of weights and balances; also by the
use of quicksilver, but while these
machines will operate for time, they
are unable in that time to develop
sufficient power to work machinery or
be Of any real benefit. In the town of
Minnedosa, Man., an old gentleman
had for some years a machine of his
own invention operated by a series of
weights by which he was said to have
run a small lathe. A scientist named
Strut has invented an apparatus
which takes advantage of radium
emanations upon a gold leaf electro
scope. This perhaps comes near to
an endless motion, but is maintained
at the expense of the molecular en-
ergy Of the radium.

Much valuable information as to the
mental makeup of child could be OBJ
tanned from study Of his dreams, DR..
G. w. Kimmins, an English savant,
recently declared during discussion
on psycho-analysis and education at
meeting of the British association at
Hull. It would be interesting, he sug-
gested, to hear from psychologists to
what extent children's dreams could
be used for school purposes. Doctor
Kimmins emphasized the danger of
extravagant hopes in regard to the
use of psychO-analysis for educational
purposes, which might lead to an in.
Unite amount of harm.

"RooseveIt's ReIioion.U

President Roosevelt writes Ethel an
interesting account Of a "rescue."
Sloan, the secret service man, and
he were en- route to church when he
saw two dogs chasing kitten. He
drove the dogs off with his cane while
Sloan captured the "kitty." Then the
President inquired from the smiling
spectators if the cat belonged to them,
but not finding an owner, he went
down the block with the kitten in his
arms until he saw "a very nice col
ored woman with little girl looking
out the window Of a small house" and
gave her the kitten. Then, straight
ening his clothes and brushing his
silk hat, he went on to church in

PRINCE MUST EARN LIVING
Aaue Of Denmark Serves In french
Army After Loss In Bank
Failure.

Copenhagen. Denmark.-Prince Aage
of Denmark, whose fortune was wipeo
out in n recent bank failure, has gone
10 Morocco 10 earn living as major
in the French colonial forces. just
before he departed, at the time OF the
Christmas holidays, he said he was
genuinely sorry that he could not take
up an active business career In MS
own country. He had never enjoyed
anything more, he added, than the JOB
he once held for several months In a
foreign branch Of well-known Ameri-
can firm, neither his employers nor the
other employees knowing his real
identity.
In Denmark Prince Aage was called
the American prince. His habits and
tastes were similar to those character
izing citizens Of fine United States.
Most of his intimate friends were
Americans, and their mode OF life was
his. Soon after the war the prince
visited the United States, plunged into
society, and adopted many American
ways.
Recently 1t was thought desirable to
use the prince in an ambassadorial ca
pacity. hut with his fortune gone he
, was unable to accept a post paying
! onIv n small income. So he has en-
tered military life, having the reputa-
ton of being one of the finest soldiers
in Denmark. Princess Aage and the
couples five-year-old son have gone
TO live in Italy at the home Of the
princess father Count Calyi di Ber-
COLO.
This Singer Is a Whole Quartet.
London throat specialists are great
ly interested in a man singer who |:
said to have a most unusual voice
The young mans name is Strathie
Mackay, and he is employed as 6
cleaner at a bank in ThreadneedlC
street. While Sir James Dundas GRAM
listened he sang in tenor voice, &
barytone, q falsettO and at last in 6
double voice, barytone and tenor sim
ultaneOuSly.
Although the tive voices could be
heard distinctly, the tenor voice pre-
dominated, and Sir James remarked
that If Mr.. Mackay could harmonic
with the two and render the BARITONE
with the same clarity and volume as
the tenor the result would be star
thing.
The examination of Mr.. Mackay's
1arynx showed that it was quite nor
nal, and he said it did not strain
him to use both voices at once.

Telephone in Bathroom.

For years hotels have been compet-
ing with one another to provide the
ultimate in a guests comfort. But II
is only recently that anyone had enough
Imagination to think Of anything SO
sensible as telephone extension in the
bathroom. What Is more annoying than
TO have to get out Of the bathtub all
dripping and stand by a wall tele-
phone2 One hotel I saw recently has
two telephones in each room, one by
the bathtub and the other on stand
by the head Of the bed. Excellent
places for phones, but think how long
it took for hotel men, even hotel men
with the best of intentions, to quit
putting them on the wall where
guest can't even sit down. For that
matter, it is not many years since
phones in private homes were placed
where one could talk and be comfort
able all at once.-Fred Kelly, in the
