introduced in United States.

The first bamboo was introduced into
the United States by Judge o. N. Denny
OF Oregon when he was consul general
at Shanghai thirty years ago. He also
introduced the Chinese pheasant. the
Monaghan grouse, the Chefoo partridge
and the tomato peach, a delicious fruit
which thrves on the Pacific coast. But
the bamboo was never cultivated for
practical purposes in this country until
few years ago, when it was taken up by
the Agricultural Department under the
direction of Secretary Wilson, and Is now
being grown with great success on the
Pacific coast and in the southern states.
II believe in bamboo" said David Fair
child, who has charge of foreign plants
at the Agricultural Department, land l.
am confident that it will. be very valua-
BILE addition to the timber resources of
this country. We have been paying great
deal Of attention to the subject, and are
anxious that our experiments shall be
followed by the adoption of its culture
by every farmer who is in a suita BILE loca-
ton. We have already demonstrated that
the bamboo will thrive in California. Ore
Ron, Texas and throughout the gulf and
southern states. and it only remains for
the farmers of those sections to take it
up seriousluy and cultivate 1t as the eu-
calyptus Is cultivated in California. In
addition to its great value from practi-
cal standpoint the bamboo is beautiful
tree and will give the greatest satisfac-
ton to a farmer and will pay him for
his time and la Dor If he cultivates ii only
as an ornament.
What is the la npboo?" ] asked.
Bamboo is a species of big grass, grow
ing from a creeping underground stem,
like asparagus. The canebrakes of the
south abound IN a species of bamboo. but
the wood Of that variety is of little value,
because 1t is soft and spongy and the
fiber even when dried, is brittle and can
be crushed in the hand, whereas the
Japanese and Chinese bamboo Is strong
and tough, with siliceous coating, which
renders 1t impervious to moisture. Bam-
boo stalks, when dried and hardened, will
easily stand the weight of man jumping
upon them and are SO elastic that they
make the best kind of bows and springs
and yokes with which to carry burdens
from the Shnillders

Not a Paper Maker.
"A great deal has been said about the
value of the bamboo as material for pa

tropics 1t may some time play an impor-
aant role in that line. but in the tenn

MIGHT USE ESPERANTO.
Suggestion Advanced for Proposed
Peace Parliament.

That the Esperanto congress to be
held in this city August II TO 20, may
serve to bring to Washington the world 5
peace parliament is possibility which is
attracting the attention of local Esper-
artists and others interested in the move
ment.
The impression is gaining that, in the
event of the parliament being held. Is
peranto would be the language adopted
for the transaction of its business, be-
cause of the facility with which it can
be learned
In outlinig plans before the convention
committee of the Chamber of Commerce
for an international peace parliament.
Dr. William O. Mcdowell of New York
stated that the projectors of the move
met were of the opinion that as far as
language difficulties are concerned, Es-
peranto would offer a solution.
In view of the attempt which has al
ready been inaugurated in Congress to
bring 4 worlds parliament to Wash
ington, it is considered extremely likely
that steps will be taken at the Esperanto
congress in August to indorse the peace
parliament movement.

SHIPPERS TO BE HEARD.
Probable Injunction to Prevent
Raise of Railway Rates.

Attorney General Wickersham will meet
a committee representing shippers from
Omaha, Sioux City and number of
other western points this afternoon at
o'clock to hear argument why he
should institute injunction proceedings
as the first blockade in the program of
the western trunk lines to increase freight
rates to Missouri river points.
The intention of the roads. according
to announcement is for the rates to go
into effect Wednesday, and the Attorney
General deemed 1T necessary to see the
committee at once if any action was to
be taken in time to prevent the rates
from being raised. The hearing will be
held at the Department of Justice
The injunction. according to the inten-
ton of the committee, is to be simply a
preliminary to a prosecution of the trunk
lines under the antitrust statute The
whole matter however, may be referred
by the Attorney General to the interstate
commerce commission.
