Voltaire, and oysters were, brought on

the somewhat injudlclous remark:
II am sure I could eat Us many oys-

"With tho same weapon!" (he jaw

Rousseau did not soon forget the lit

opportunity for revenge. Not long aft

THE BAMBOO PLANT.
II Sometimes Grows Mt tho Rate of
Three Feet a Day.


Three Feet a Day.
Tho word bamboo suggests to most
Americans a faithful fishing rod or q
dainty fan To the Japanese and Chi
nese, who ore the most practical qgri-
culturists in the world, 1t is as indls-
pensable as the white pine to the
American farmer, They are not only
dependent upon 1t for much Of their
building material, but make their
ropes, mats, kitchen utensils and in
Vulnerable other articles out of 1t.
There are many varieties Of the bam-
boo plant, from the species which is
woven into mats to the tall bamboo
tree which the Chinaman uses for the
mast Of his large boat. One variety Is
cultivated as vegetable and the
young shoots eaten like asparagus, or
they may be sailed, picked or pre-
served.
The rapidity Of growth Of tho bam-
boo is perhaps Its mostwonderful char
acteristfc. There are actual records
Of a bamboo growing three feet In d
single day, or ut the rate of one and
half inches On. hour.
Varieties of bamboo are found ev-
erywhere In japan, even where there
are heavy falls of snow In winter. 1t
is n popular mlsconception that bam-
boos grow only In the tropics. Japan
is a land of bamboos, md yet where
these plants grow it is not so warm in
