Personality
The old idea that a banking institution should be
eold and impersonal in its dealings with depositors is
decidedly out of date.
No two personal requirements are quite the same
and we take a personal interest in accomodating our
depositors in the way each individual case demands.
If you have out-of-the-ordinary banking require
ments we will step out of the beaten path to meet them.

VOYAGE FAMOUS IN HISTORY
Wooden Paddle Wheel Steamer, the
Golden Age, Paved the Way for
, the Mighty Megantic.
Departure from Sydney recently of
the White Star liner Megnntlc for Liv
erpool by way of New Zealand, the
Panama canal, the West Indies and
New York, recalls her historic fore
runner of 1854, says the New York
Tribune.
? The vessel, the 'Golden Age, was a .
wooden paddle wheel steamer, belong
ing to the New York and Australian
.Steam Navigation company. The in
tent ion of the company was to run six
vessels "via Panama," the Panama
railroad, capitalized at $7,(MX),000, be
ing the connecting link on the then un
divided Isthmus with the West India
r Iloyal Mail Steam Packet company,
running from Southampton.
The Crimean war, yellow fever on
the Isthmus and other causes con
spired to defeat the company's plans.
The Golden Age was commanded by,
Lieut. David D. Porter of the United
States navy, who afterward became
famous as a Union admiral during the
Civil war,
The Golden Age left Melbourne for
Panama via Sydney ami Tahiti, May
5, 1854. She reached Sydney on May
11 with .100 passengers. Her cai^go
Included a consignment of gold dust
and she reached England In 0(5 days.
New Idea in Ventilation.
The Ayrton antigas fan, which, ac
cording to Munsey's Magazine, may
revolutionize all our systems of venti
lation. Is based on the principle that a
fan should be brought down sharply
from the perpendicular to the horlz^i
tal, and- thus drive the air forward In
steady puffs and set up a fresh cur
rent F rrun the roar. TYic fn vent or, who
is an Englishwoman, has given public
demonstrations In London with glass
models of dugouts and tunnels from
which the fan readily expels the smoke.
At one demonstration, Mrs. Ayrton,
with a three-inch fan, sat at one end
of a slx-f>ot table while smoke poured
forth from a funnel at the other end.
The action of the miniature fan not
only dispelled the smoke but quickly
gained such control over It that It pre
vented it from coining out of the fun
nel. The fan works on the hinge-and
sprlng principle and Is constructed of
light material. It has been used suc
cessfully In factories, theaters, mines
and sewers. ? Youth's Companion.
Airplanes in Mining Operations.
It Is predicted that the airplane
anri the dirigible will prove a great
stimulus to the mining industry In pre
senting a means of getting material
and men to and from locations whlqji
are known to be rich with ore and
which are at the present time Inacces
sible. There are many such places
known to exist, but the cost of build
ing n ^udway to them would be so
great as to be prohibitive. Attention
to this phase of the subject has been
I recently attracted by a report made
by Doctor Lyon, supervisor of the min
ing stations for the Unlt?*d States bu
reau of mines. - By this men no a regu
i lar communication could bo main
tained with sections which are not to
be reached by any ordinary means. It
Is also suggested that the same meens
might be of great vhltie fnr getting res
cue apparatus to the scene of mining
disasters.
Cats and Diphtheria.
"It is a widely accepted belief that
cats may suffer from diphtheria and
convey the infection to human beings,"
says the Journal <>f i )?*? American
Medical association in recounting the
experiments by which Doctor Savage
proved that this is entirely without
foundation.
I >octor Savage planted vast numbers
of diphtheria bacilli In the nones and
throats of kittens, but in no Instance
did these takP the disease and within
*i4 hours the bacilli w dead. Doc
tor Savage re\ iewed all the evidence In
connection with epidemics of diph
theria ir-J came to i he conclusion that
