Banana Employed by
the Serpent in Eden?

EARLY inhabitants of the East be
lieyed that the banana plant was the
source of good and evil and that the
serpent which tempted Eve hid In a
bunch of the fruit" according to w.
I. Pope of the Hawaii experiment
station of the United States Depart
rnent of Agriculture.
Undoubtedly this legend influenced
the early classifiers who designated
two species of the plant as musa par
adisiaca (fruit of paradise) and musa
sapientum fruit of knOwledge). The
common name, banana" was adopted
from the language of an African Con-
go tribe, and first came into use dur
ing the Sixteenth century. Prior to
that time the fruit was called apple
of paradise" and Adams fig"
The name banana" seems to have
been borne for long period by the
fruit, which was eaten raw. The term
"plantain" was given to a variety
which, though closely related to the
banana. is edible only after being
cooked.
The generic name 'Musa" for the
banana group was bestowed by the
botanist Linnaeus in honor of An
tonius Musa. a learned physician of
the early Roman empire.-Chicago

Utilizing the Beauty
of Ancient PoneIing

Paneling In Tudor days was ne
eessity. not a luxury, and there was
continual activity in the building line,
says an article In Arts and Decoration
Magazine. In many instances the
changes and alterations are closely as
ISOLATED with the history of the fam
lily who were the owners of the build
ing.
At the time of Henry VII the inte-
riOr of many of the famous houses
throughout the land was much
changed and there seemed a greater
desire for smaller and more private
rooms. The great hall usually con
tanned the finest examples of wood
carving, but in Elizabethan times the
long gallery and smaller rooms sue
eeeded ii and the beauty of the panel
ing was frequently hidden by richly
cOlOred and magnificent tapestries.
Much of this fine work has with
stood the wear and tear of centuries

which has seemed to an erstwhile,
owner more attractive than the SOM
