Thrre exists a legend relative to the
r-hrlsiian inhabitants cf ihe east that
they believe the banana to be the tree
it the source of good and evil, In s
bunch of the fruit of which the ser
oent that tempted Eve hid Itself, and
hey add that, when Adam and Eve be-
•ame ashamed of their nakedness,
.hey covered themselves with tbe
leaves of this plant.
The origin of the banana is given as
india. at the foot of the Himalayas,
where It has been cultivated since re-
motest antiquity, says tbe National
fieographlc Magazine. Its orlffln In
the new world is aa doabtful as the
origin of the American Indian. Na-
tural to Asia and Africa, where more
than twenty distinct species of the
genus are known, It la said to have
been brought first to America from
Spain, early in the sixteenth century,
and planted In the Island of Santo
Domingo, whence Its spread was ra^iJ
through the surrounding Islands and
:he main land. This has never been
authentically established, however,
and some authorities Include the ban-
ana among the articles that formed
the base of food supply of the Inca*
and thf Aztecs before the arrival of
ihe Spaniards.
Certain it is that throughout the
whole meridional America there la a
strong tradition that at least two ape
•3es cf the plantain were cultivated
long before the coming of the Euro-
