Banana Is City of Future.
At the mouth of the great Kongo
river, here as wide as an arm of the
sea, stands the Important city with
the picturesque name of Banana. The
Importance of Banaua lies in the fu
ture rather than the present. It Is the
port of entry to that Immense wilder
ness filled with a thousand undevelop
ed possibilities known as the Belgian
Kongo. If Belgium comes through the
war with her African empire intact
Banana will probably grow Into the
leading Belgian colonial metropolis. At
present It Is little more than a name
and a possibility.
Banana consists of an excellent nat
ural harbor aud a village of a few
score homesick Europeans. Consider-
lnt( the Importance of Kongo trade
even today It Is surprising that local
development has not gone farther.
There is no adequate wharf or pier.
There are no adequate uuloadlng fa
cilities. There are only stretches of
sandy beach dotted with noble palms,
great mangrove trees with their multi
tudinous earth gripping brunches, a
pier of rotting and battered piles and
native canoes with their ebony oars
men. The prospect la beautiful In ft
natural way, but there Is a surprising
lack of industrial development.

Prenently a clock outside in

'Oh, 1 say, Miss Green," said
the late stayer, brightly, "is

HUMAN BODY AS AN ENGINE.
Keeps Itself In Repair and Con
stantly Maintains An fcven
Temperature Throughout Four
Seasons.
To burn tho fuel in a gaso
line engine it must be curbu
retted or mixed with air and
an electric spark must be up- j
plied to ignite the mixture. In
the human engine the process
is much more elaborate, since
a very wide variety of d inle
foods is taken, refined, retfiiced
to food and burned slowly. A
gasoline engine may be termed
a quick-combustion, high-tem
perature engine, while the hu
man machine is a low temper
ature and slow combustion en
gine, which not only produces
energy from its food, but lubri-
ates itself, keeps itself in re
pair and constantly maintains
an even temperature through
out the four seasons.
A man could not digest gas
oline, nor could a gasoline en
gine run on butter. Neverthe
less, the two classes and func
tions merge into each other.
Science shows how ulcohol is a
curious illustration of this fact.
An internal combustion engine
could be run on alcohol and it
is known that this fluid can be
burned in the human body also
producing a large amount of
violent energy which is equiv
alent to that obtained in a gas
oline engine when the throttle
is pulled wide opeu and there
is no load to carry. Physicians
say that drunkenness is, in ef
fect, racing the human engine
beyond speed limits.
Experience the Best Teacher.

and recognized Its value. But It was
