THE BAMBOO PLANT.
II Sometimes Grows mt the Rate of
Three Feet Day.


The word bamboo suggests to most
Americans faithful fishing rod or n
dainty fan. To the Japanese and Chi
nese, who are the most practical agri-
culturists in the ~orld. IL is as indis-
pensable as the white pine TO the
American farmer. They are not only
dependent upon IL for much of their
building material. but make their
ropes, mats, kitchen utensils and in
Vulnerable other articles out of IL.
There are many varieties of the bam-
boo plant, from the species which is
woven into mats To the tall baml5o
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 salted, picked or pre-
served.
The rapidity of growth of the bam-
boo is perhaps its most wonderful char
acteristic. There are actual records
of a bamboo growing three feet in n
single day, or Mt the rate of one and
half inches an hour.
Varieties of bamboo are found .ev-
erywhcre in Japan, even where there
are heavy falls of snow in winter. 1t
is n popular misconception that bam-
boos grow only i'm the tropics. Japan
is n land of bamboos, and yet where
these plants grow it is not so warm in
winter as it is in Califonia.-Na

A RESTAURANT PROBLEM.

"Who is the greatest restaurateur in
New York; l asked hotel manager
who sometimes goes to his neighbors'
places TO get dots on up to datencss.
His reply: "It isn't necessary To men
ton names. In fact, it isn't possible TO
do so. The greatest restauratcm in
New York or in the whole world is
the man who can tell today how many
people he will have to feed tomorrow"
There is one house downtown where
an average of 400 mouths are fed daily.
But one day there may be 800 and an
other $50. Where is the barometer that
is TO tell beforehand, in time for orders
to butcher, baker and candlestick max
er, pretty nearly the number that must
be provided for on the morrow? If
there are 800 today shall enough food
for 800 be ordered for tomorrow? If
so, and only $50 come, what is to he
done with the surplusage of meats,
vegetables, bread, etc? And if $50
come today and food for 100 is ordered
for tomorrow, what is to become of the
management when 500 come on the
morrow and the larder is empty? The
man who can estimate on Monday the
probable business of Tuesday is worth
S25, 900 a year to any big restaurant.
But there is no such man.-New York

Wcntherwise Birds aud Fish.

The sea gull makes a splendid living
barometer. If covey of sea gulls fly
seaward early in the morning, sailors
and fishermen know that the day will
be fine and the wind fair, but If the
birds keep inland, though there be no
haze hanging out toward the sea to
denote unpleasant weather, interested
folk know that the elements will be
unfavorable. OF all weatherwise fish
the dolphin is the most remarkable.
During fierce gale or storm at sea
the mariner knows that the end of it
is near if he can see Il dolphin or a
number Of that fish sporting on the
high sea waves.

Working the Crust.

From my window the other day,

ingenuity of beggar. He evidently
had a pocket filled with crusts, and
when no one was passing he threw one
of them into my yard. Then he waited
for a lady or gentleman who carried
stick or umbrella and, trembling, ap-
pealed for the crust to be brought
within his reach. The sympathy he ex-
cited was so great that he received a
nickel or two from many who heard
his plea

VOLTAlRE AND ROUSSEAU.
Pointed Jokes That Passed Between
the Two Authors.

the Two Authors.
Voltaire and Rousseau, though on
friendly terms. were in the habit of
firing off pointed jokes Mt one another.
One day Rousseau was dining with
Voltaire, and oysters We're brought on
the table, for, as somebody has remark
ed, no dinner could be complete with
out them. The author of Emile" aft
er helping himself pretty freely, made
the somewhat injudicious remark:
81 am sure l could eat as many oys-
ters as Samson slew Philistines."
"With the same weapon?' (the jaw
bone of an ass slyly inquired Voltaire.
Rousseau did not soon forget the lit
tie joke at his expense and sought an
opportunity for revenge. Not long aft
erward Voltaire called at his house
during his absence. The door being
open, he walked into the library, and,
finding all the books thrown about in
confusion and covered with dust, he
traced on one of them the word "co-
chon" pig) with his finger. Next day
he met Rousseau and said to him:
II called at your house yesterday,
but did not find you in"

MECHANICAL WONDERS.
The roys Louis XIV. Played with In
His Childhood Days.

An extraordinary piece of mechanism
was constructed for the amusement of
Louis XIV. when a child. 1t consist
ell of small coach drawn by two
horses in which was the figure of a
lady, with footmau and page be-
hind. According to the account Civ
EN- by VI. Camus, the constructor, this
coach being placed Mt the extremity
of n table of Il dcterminate size, the
coachmnn smackcd his whip, and the
horses Immediately set out, moving
their legs In a natural manner. When
the carriage reached the edge of the
table IL turned on right angle and
proceeded along that edge till IL arriv-
ed opposite TO the place where the king
was seated. II then stopped, and the
page. getting down, opened the door,
upon which the lady alghtcd, having
in her hand a petition which she pre-
scnted, with n courtesy. After waiting
some time she again courtcsied and re-
entered the carriage. The page then
resumed his place, the coachman whip
ped up his horses, which began TO
move. and the footman. running after
the carriage. jumped up behind It,
Louis XIV. had also an automaton
opera In five acts, with fresh scenes for
each. 1t measured sixteen and n half

THE INCENSE TREE.
IL Is saunuy and Thorny, Like the
Myrrh and Acncin.

Myrrh and Acncin.
Incense is the resinous gum that ex-
udes from tree found In British So
maitland FROM near Berbera to Cape
Guardafui. Some incense comes from
region adjoining Maskat, near the
Arabian coAst. Inferior incense Is
found i'm India, but the best and great
est quantity comes from British So
maitland.
The incense tree is squatty, thorny
and mslghtly, like the myrrh and aca-
cia, and seldom reaches height of fif-
teen feet
Incense is not only used in worship,
but many orientals use II TO sweeten
the breath and burn it in their houses
to kill disagrceable odors. The crop va
rics from 2.2i0,000 to 100000 pounds
and is gathered in the autumn and
brought to market by the Somalis dur
ing the winter months. The price
ranges from . to annas a to II cents
per pound according to quality.
Incense is extensively used all over
the orient, and last year 1,403,744
pounds We're shipped TO Bombay, which
is great distributing point, and 1,426,-
$50 pounds to Europe, the greater por-
ton going to Marseilles and Triest.

THE FIRST SKY MAP.
IL Was Very Probably the Chart
Made by Bippnrchus.

The Chaldcans were probably the
first TO cultivate astronomy, which.
with its sister science, astrology, ap-
pears TO have been evolved independ-
emily by Egyptians, Chinese and Chal-
deans, who had all distinguished the
planets from the fixed stars and group
ed these into consultations.
Drawings of the heavens were prob
ably common to the observers of all
three nations, but owing to the whole
sale destruction of records it Is impos-
sible to say whether any charts upon
plane surfaces, which alone can strict
ly be called maps, We're made by them.
In more recent times the first to
project chart of the heavens was
Hipparchus, who upon the appearance
of new star decided to record the
state of the sky in his time and TO COM
pile catalogue of all the stars visi-
BILE above his horizon. He enumerated
1,0S0 stars and in order to fix accurate
ly their positions invented the plani-
sphere, projection of sphere upon
a plane surface, which is for most pur
poses more useful than globe.

The oldest Church In Europe.

Canon Routledge in his History of
St Martin, Canterbury claims the
proud distinction of the oldest church
in Europe for that venerable edlfice.
He describes it as occupying the
unique position of being the only exist
ing church that was originally built as
church during the first four centu-
ries and has remained q church till the
present day. st. Martins has sort of
rival in st. Mary-in-the- Castle, Dover,

been erected by British workmen some
time in the fourth century.

There is one clause Of the present

There is one clause OF the present
game law that should be perpetuated at
the next session Of the Oregon legisla-
ture. Reference is made to the protec-
ton of the quail. This beautiful and
useful game bird is taking well to Ore
gon climate and as consequence is
multiplying. The quail is semi-do-
mestic bird that loves the cultivated
field, the thick-growing bush, the grow
ing grass that bespeaks the presence Of
man. 1t is preeminently the bird OF
civilization, and is benefited by its ad-
vance, while all the forest loving birds
are discouraged in proportion as trees
are cut down and fields cleared for the
harvest. Most varieties of our feathered
friends decrease or disappear with the
destruction Of the primeval forest, but
the quail follows the plow, the reaper
and the mower, being at its best in the
tall grass OF June and the ripening
wheat Of July. The quail is semi-do-
mestic and admirable in all the family
relations. When they mate it is for
keeps. No divorces go in the world of
quaildom, no infidelity, no human get
ting off with the old love before getting
on with the new. Master Bob White is
model husband, father and provider.
Ever faithful to his spouse, strict
monogamist, he assists both to hatch
and rear the young and watches vigil
antly over "mother" while she is at
tending to the nest, meantime consoling
her with his sweet monotone or warning
of the approach Of enemies.

The Japanese war does not seem to be
beneftting the American mule and
horse market as did the contest with the
Beers. The Japs do not seem to have
learned the virtue Of the mule and do
not use these animals in their transport
alton service. They are evidently short
on horses, too, the kind they use being
an inferior sort, much like our western
bronchos. For this reason they are in
ferior to the Russians in the cavalry
arm Of their service, the only weak spot
