We have No Real Bananas

While the banana is eaten in great
numbers and made the subject of
song, loud and vociferous, the state
ment is made that we do not know
what bananas are until We have
had the experience of eating them in
the lands where they are grown.
Those which we in this country are
familiar with are grown in Costa
RIGA, Jamaica and countries of
tropical America, but they are pick
ed for shipment long before they
have ripened and before they have
taken on their best flavor. Efforts
have been made to grow the fruit in
California, Louisiana and other warm
sections of this country. but the at
tempts have been generally unsuc-
cessful, for the tree will not stand
the temperature approaching frost.
The efforts have never been COM
mercially successful. In the East
Indies bananas are grown that are a
foot long and two inches in thick
ness, but it Is impossible to ship
tbese.-Rehoboth Sunday Herald.

Marine lsuana Lives on Desert Isle
OF Ecuador

In the Pacific Ocean, about 500
miles off the coast of Ecuador. lies a
tiny group of desert volcanic islands,
known as the Galapagos Archipelago.
Here, among many creatures that
have.never heard the voice of man,
the dominant sound of life is the hiss
of the sea guiana, a giant marine
lizard that exists nowhere else in the
world.
Darwin visited four of the islands
in 1895 and found material for his

1t lives about the seashore and
feeds on seaweeds. At night 1t sleeps
in burrow of the earth or in lava
crevice, while in the daytime it comes
out and at low tide makes it's way to
the edge of the surf to feed. 1t will
not live in captivity.-Detroit Free

AUSTRALIAN GIRLS
 SHOWING AMBITION
All Seem to Be Anxious to Be Good Cooks

Brisbane, Australia. June 90 F) -. A domestic science school on wheels is one of the recent innova- tions of the Queensland government designed to reach people living in the "backwoods' areas. Three special railroad coaches in which the domestic science classes are taught have already been equipped and started on the road in charge of capable teachers. Others are now being constructed. The travelling school will remain from five to ten weeks in each center, according to the population and the interest the local girls show in the adventure,
 Cooking. laundry work. needle craft and housekeeping are taught in these schools. Fifteen girls may easily be taught in each class. In the "cow" country many of the girls come to the s"hool on horse- back, often riding 15 to 25 miles, while others travel some distance on foot. Free cook books and pamphlets on hygiene, sanitation and other crafts of interest to the housewife are also issued free by the government and distributed by the teachers.

DARING MOTORISTS
 GET INVITATION
Are Asked to Make Trip to
 Hudson Bay Country

Winnipeg, Man. June 2n CPl--A procession of tourists driving into the picturesque northland on their own family motor cars, fitted with fanged rims to grip the rails of the Hudson Bay line, is the ingenious scheme proposed by R. M. Haultaln, a railway construction engineer of Winnipeg.
 Mr. Haultain believes that such traffic over the government railway will present no difficulties. To ob- yiate any danger of accidents, he would placard the line 10 the effect that the odd days of the month would be reserved for northbound traffic and the even days for south- bound, Each car would be required 10 carry a light dcrailing shoe, to provide for emergencies,
 The investment on the past of the railway company in flanged rims, trailcrs, steering gear locks, etc., would be negligible. declared Mir. Haultain, when compared with the increased revenue obtained from freighting cars to different points along the Hudson Bay line.
 Mir, Haultain has complete con- tidence in the feasibility of the scheme, and maintains that the north country would ultimately be- come the mecca of sport lovers and attract tourists to the profita ble ad- vantage of the local railroad.
