ed, was unanimously judged the
winner of the Edison-Marshall an
nual short story contest on her

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. Washington Star.

Tunes that were familiar In the old
en times were played by an old-fashioned
orchestra and sung by the crowd.
One feature was a display by two
teams of traditional sword dancers
from Durham and Yorkshire, At the
time of this festival 1,000 dancers at
tended a folk song and dance school In
another hall In London. Similar
events are being given In other parts
of England

American boys attending a school
near Paris are laying out one of the
most ambitious maps every attempted,
a huge plat In concrete, with real wa

other features. The seas are deep
enough for the pupils to ride by boat
from one part to another, tiny railroad
trains are drawn by steam engines
and the continents are accurately rep
resented in cement, with mountain
ranges and other points indicated.
