Electricity and Banana Among the many extensions of the use of electrical machinery attention may be called to the employment of motor-driven "marine legs," a machine to unload bananas from the holds of fruit-carrying vessels at New Orleans. Not only is there a great saving of labor, but it Is said that the fruit Is much less damaged than when unload ed by hand. At Louisville electric radiators have been employed to ripen bananas for local consumption. The fruit Is hung In ripening rooms and subjected to a temperature of from 70 to 80 degrees during a period of 48 hours.' Afterward it Is kept in storage at a temperature of from 60 to 70 degrees.
