BAMBOO BLOOM DISASTER,
Chinese Believe That the Budding
Season Brings Dreadful
Misfortunes.

In some parts of China the natives
are in dread of the bloom of the bam-
boo, at which season all kinds OF
dreadful disasters are predicted and
confidently looked for. Like some
other superstitions this one has a
slight foundation. The fact is that the
bamboo only flowers once and then
dies, and as a rule the whole lot of
plants, often covering large areas,
bloom together.
The reason of this is that the indi-
viduals of species are commonly gre
garious, and all are of the same age,
having taken simultaneous possession
of ground rendered vacant perhaps by
a similar depopulation.
A somewhat analogous case is pre-
scented by some of the Strobilanths of
tropical Asia. These plants live about
seven years, then all burst out into a
glorious mass of blue flowers and then
die away, leaving, it may be, hundreds
of acres of ground destitute of the
luxuriant vegetation it previously sup
ported.

LOCAL COLOR TOO STRONG
Sunday School Girl Works Local Ho-
tel Into the Story of
Bethlehem.

Seneca, Nemeh county, Kan, is a thriv-
ing town of almost 3,0O0 Travellers
thereto, says the Philadelphia Press, put up
at the Clifford house, which is a real brick
hotel and is regarded by the permanent
population as the latest thing in the hos
telry line in the northeastern part of the
state. To the children of the town it is
known as "The Hotel"
So it was that when a faithful Sunday
school teacher endeavored to fix on the
minds of her small pupils the story Of
the birth of Christ she described how Mary
and Joseph had come into Bethlehem on the
eve of the first Christmas and found the
inn full of guests. To make it realistic she
used the simile of the town of Seneca and
explained how it was just as though the
weary travellers had come in from the sur
rounding country at evening.
Too well she drew the picture, for one
young miss was SO impressed with the
local color that when the Christmas festi-
val came and the superintendent of the
school asked for the tale of Bethlt y N this
young lady started out in this fashion,:
Mary and Joseph came to Bethlehem,
but the Clifford house was full"
She got no farther, however, for the
walls of the church rang with the laugh
ter of the audience, which realized that
here was local color with vengeance.

about 16 years old, dressed in as ragged
fashion as anyone you could, ever conceive
of. He had on pair of his fathers worm
out trousers, which were cut off at the
bottom, and which extended far up on
his body, almost to his shoulders. More
as matter of personal amusement than
for any other reason, | asked him how far
it was to the next town.

Tenth Season Of the California Linn
tied.

Ten years ago this fall the Santa Fe
started it's California Limited train on
the initial run across the continent.
Many improvements have been made in
that busy decade. To-day's engines and
coaches are much heavier than those of
1894. Millions of dollars have been spent
on the track alone-some of it for oil
sprinkled (dustless) roadbed and oil-burn-
ing (smokeless) engines. The time is
faster, too.
Daily service of the California Limited
will be resumed Sunday, November Is,
fer the tenth season, sur arseding the
present semi-weekly schedule. This is
now an all-the-year'roun train, between
Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco,
running through Southwest land of en-
chantment. The time, Chicago to Los
Angeles, is about So hours, which is fast
speed for the 1906 miles traversed, con-
sidering that several mountain ranges are
crossed.
