THE FUNNY SIDE OF IT
There is a funny side to all
things, including the learning of
how to ride a bicycle. Of course
when you can ge two nice men to
guide you, it helps some, and there
is nothing funny about that either.
The funny part comes in when with
out warnig you find yourself stand
ing on your head and your audience
holding its sides—laughing.

A WATERFRONT CEMENT
It is said that the United States
army engineers have long used the
following mixture for waterproof
ing cement. One part of cement,
two parts of sand, three-quarters
of a pound of dry powdered alum
to each cubic foot of sand. These
are mixed and dried, and to them
is added water in which has been
disolved three-quarters of a pound
of soap to each gallon. This, it
is said, is nearly as strong as or
dinary cement, is quite impervious
to water and does not effloresce.

FLOUR MADE FROM BANANAS
It is not generally known that
flour can be made from bananas;
but from a very early period the
natives of tropical countries where
the banana grows—Jamaica, Canary
Islands, the Malay Archipelago and
Africa—have made flour from the
fruit.
Stanley, the explorer, found the
natives of Africa making it by dry
ing bananas over wooden gratings
and grinding them to powder. He
found the flower wholesome and eas
ily digested. Once, when attacked
by dysentry, he took a thin gruel
made from it for a day, during which
he abstained from other food, and
obtained prompt relief.
The South American Indians make
a flour or paste from bananas, and
so the banana in that part of the
world, as in Africa and the East
Indies, takes the place of cereals.
The flour can be easily carried about
and, as needed, made into cakes and
fried, or mixed with water and
drunk.
Banana flour contains one-third
as much protein matter, one-fourth
as much fat and a little more starch
than wheat flour.

The members of the D. M. C.

who entertained most charmingly
in their honor. H
TOWN BOOSTING IS A VICE
(From the Teledo Blade)
There are phases pf the town
boosting habit which suggests the
cocaine habit. A town so afflicted
will go ahead boosting itself, boast
ing and advertising its advantages
and superiorities, though every word
it utters and every circular it
sends forth does it hurt.
A case in point is Portland, Or.,
from which city a traveler writes:
“Have inclosed for your inspect
ion a sheet taken from a daily pa
per showing the campaign that Is
now being waged to induce people
of the East to come West.
“My personal observation while
in your city was that everybody
who wanted work could get it, and
at good wages; that busines was
good and everyone contented.
Then why should they leave cont
entment for misery? There are
thousands of men in this city not
hoboes, but some of the best talent
in the country, that will do any
thing to keep body and soul toge
ther, but can get nothing. Busi
ness in all lines is dull.’
Some sections of the Pacific slope
have issued warnings that their
country was no place for people to
come seeking employment. These
sections had only mild and medica
ble cases of the booming fever. But
their neighbors were affected sore
ly. They have shouted their glo
ries, though they knew that every
man who answered the trumpet call
was a prospective charge upon the
community.
It is too bad that among the mul
titude forms of sanitaria there Is
not ono which can treat and cure
town boosting when it has become
a vice.

WHY LEAD PENCILS HAVE
NO LEAD
Do you know that lead pencils are
not made with lead ? Long, long
ago lead was used for this purpose,
and the continuance of the name is
misleading, but illustrates the per
sistence of the original association.
Today lead pencils are made with
graphite and have been since this
substance was discovered in 1565.
It is one of the forms in which car
bon occurs in nature. It is soft
and unctuous to the touch, iron gray
in color, and metallic in lustre.
Graphite is dug in mines and is
rarely found in sufficient purity to
be available for pencil making. After
being purified and pulverized it is
mixed with clay, the portion of each
depending upon the grade of hard
ness desired in the pencil. The de
gree of softness depends upon rela
tive preponderance of the graphite
in the mixture, and the hardness is
in ac ordance with the greater
proportion of clay. The requisite
degree of hardness depends, too, on
the compression of the mixture into
form already to be glued into wood
casings.
Seylon, Mexico and Europe are the
chief sources of graphite supply. In
this country there are more impor
tant mines at Ticmideroga, N. Y.
Although lead pencils were not made
in the United States until 1861, Am
erican manufacturers now supply
nine-tenths of the home demand and
have entered into competition for
the world’s trade.
