  Woman:     Today,we continue talking about vegetable and fodder plants.We spoke of other types of these,including kale and collards,previously.Today we will review what is normally reffered to as cabbage in common conversation.     Cabbage is a common vegetable native to England and northwestern France but now grown in many parts of Europe,Asia,and the American continents.There are three kinds of cabbage,all with the same basic characteristic;The leaves grow very close together,forming a hard,round head.The three types of cabbage are white,savoy,and red.While the white and red cabbages have prominent veins in the coir leaves,savoy has wrinkled and blistered leaves.All forms of cabbage have succulent leaves covered with a waxy coating.They are low in calories,have little fat,ad are an excellent source of ascorbic acid,minerals,and bulk,which helps digestion.     Cabbage seeds are quite small.Farners normally sow the seeds in rows that are about 36 inc...

      About 8000 people looked over the horseless carrriages on November 3,1900,the opening day of the new York Auto Show,and the first opportunity for the automobile industry to show off its ware to sizeable audience.

        By happenstance,the number of people at the show equalled the entire car population at that time,At that time,10 million bicycles and an unknown number of horse-and-buggies provided the prime means of transportation.Only about 4000 cars were assembled in the United States in 1900,and only a quarter of those were gasoline powerred.(The rest ran on steam or electricity)

        After viewing the cars made by 32 carmakers,the show's audience favored electric cars because they were quiet.The risk of a boiler explosion turned people away from steamer ,and the gasoline powered cars produced smelly fumes.The Duryea Motor Wagon Company,which launched The American auto industry in 1892,offered an additive designed to mask the smell of the naphtha that burned.

        The prices were not that different than they are today.Most cost between $800 and$1500,or roughly$11,000 to$18,500 in today's prices.Many of the 1900 models were cumbersome-the Gasmobile,the Franklin,and the Orient,for example,steered with tillers like boats rather than with steering wheels.

        The black-tie audience at the show viewed the display more as a social outing than as the extravaganza that auto shows were about to become.

             Niagara Falls , of the most famous North American natural wonders,has long been a popular tourist destination.Tourists today flock to see the two falls that actually constitute Niagara Falls:the 173-foot-high Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side of the Niagara River in the Canadian province of Ontario and the 182-foot-high American Falls on the U.S.side of the river in the state of  New York.Approximately 85 percent of the water that goes over the falls actually goes over Horseshoe Falls,with the rest going over American Falls.               Most visitors come between April and October,and it is quite a popular activity to take a steamer out onto the river and right up to the base of the falls for a close-up view.It is also possible to get a spectacular view of the falls from from the strategic location along the Niagara River,such as Prospect Point or Table Rock,or from one of the fo...
