speaker compared the records of both

In defense of the Republican admin

He declared that the tariff and other

Tammany Hall and its attitude on agri-

Wild Bananas Have
 Seeds Like Bullets

CHICAGO, July 6. = It is not impossible to bite into banana and break tooth on a banana seed, but to do so one would have to eat one of several wild species of the fruit.
 Many nncultivated bananas have seeds as large as hazel nuts and as hard as bullets. New speci- mems of the seeds have been plac- cd i'll the Field Museum of Ma tnral History here.
 Seeds of the cultivated banana have degenerated into the black specks one sees in the center of the fruit, but how and when the change occurred is something sci ence does not know. according to Dr. B. E. Dahlgren, acting cura- tor of botany at the museum.
 The cultivated banana is prop agated from sprouts instead of seeds.
