 Fire is the favorite weapon of the kaiser's tools working in this coun- try. It is such common thing with us that it arouses little suspicion, when cotton gin or warehouse, food warehouse or factory burns down.

Three Notable Physical Features.

UTCC tNVtAOiC CuyetVoi VCdtuTCos
 The surface of North America pre- sents three great physical features- the great Pacific highlands, the central plains and the eastern highlands. The great Pacific highlands extend through the western part of North America, al- most from the arctic shores to the Isthmus of Panama, and are traversed by the Rocky mountains and other high mountain chains. The central plains, which descend gradually from the crests of the Rocky mountains, include the Mississippi. Missouri and the Great Lakes regions. The Atlantic highlands, in the eastern part, extending from the northern coast of Labrador, nearly to the Gulf of Mexico. include the low plateau of Labrador to the north and the Appalachian U Allegheny moun- tains on the south. the principal sec. tions of the latter bearing the names of the White mountains in New Hamp- shire, the Green mountains in Vermont, the Adirondacks in the state of New York, the Alleghenies in Pennsylvania. and the Black mountains in North Carolina.

Raise Bamboo In South.

The plantjngs of the oriental tim- Der bamboo in northern Florida and Louisiana have grown to a height of 25 feet, and there is no longer any question about their producing in this country good canes comparable to those which they produce in China and Japan. A quick method Of their prop. agation has been worked out so that 1t will be now possible to supply large enough quantities Of the young plants to set out many small areas through. out the South, from the Carolinas to California wherever there is sufficient moisture and the land is not too high priced to admit of their cultivation.
