SIGHT WELL WORTH SEEING
Canyons of Southern California at Times Furnish SpectacIes Nothing
 Short of Remarkable.

The spectacle of rain, fire and flood all occurring at the same time, is not an unusual sight in some of the can yons near Los Angeles, says the .Scien- tific American. The most notable ex- ample is near Santa Monica, which is or the southern coast of California. The precipitous sides of the canyons debauching into the Pacific ocean in that vicinity are composed of clay and shaIe. Whenever rain falls on these rocks, great clouds of steam rise from the canyons The canyon crests and faces are crowned by vitrified rock burned dull red.
 It is reported by the early hista reans that when the Mission fathers visited this region 150 years ago the natives avoided these places. They claimed that these mysterious canyons were the abode of evil spirits and the Indians could not be induced to guide the priests to their vicinity.
 Actual flame has also been reported in one of these canyons. Hence the occasional newspaper accounts of ac-

The giant bamboo grass of Japan and China grows at the rate of two feet day In some instances, and sometimes to the height of 150 feet and a dinWetcr of two feet A clump is planted and 1t widens over the land scape with remarkable rapidity. The bamboo takes the place of steel and iron to great extent in China and Japan. The farmer uses it to build his house and fence it; his household furniture is manufactured from it, and the tender shoots furnish him with a delicious vegetable for his table. Ii supplies framework for awnings, ribs of sails and handles of rakes, material for the chicken coops and bird cages, stufflng for pillows and mattresses. chopsticks for eating, pipes for smok- ing, brooms for sweeping. chairs to sit upon, skewers to pin the hair, hats to screen the head. paper to write on. the pencil to write with, the crab net and the fishpole.

 ing to Miss Connie Bonslagel of the Extension Division, Universi- ty of Arkansas, who says: Those who have tomatoes should save their own seed. In order to get the best results it is necessary to choose sturdy vigorous plants which have smooth medium sized we'll ripened tomatoes only. When the fruit is thoroughly rpe. the seeds are removed and placed in Water. After day or two the pulp will pull away from the seeds and rise to the top of the water. The seed can then be washed and spread an a wire tray or paper and allowed to dry in the shade. Frequent stirring will prevent them from sticking. ! Let them get thoroughly dry be- fore putting away.

The American archRologists who
have returned from a profound exam
ination into the personal effects Of
the late Hon. MENEPrAH of Egypt re-
port, without furnishing a scientific
explanation, that that monarch had
the greatest collection of razors ever
observed anywhere. One commenta-
tor suggests that the king was pre-
pared for a BARRIERS strike. 1t is
more likely that MENEPTAH did his
own shaving. In the world outside
Of Egypt at that time kings wore
boards, none of them trusting bar
OLIVIER LIE DAM. But in Egypt,
where civilization was much advanced
over most of the outer world, every
man who was anybody kept a nicely
moved face. We read in Genesis
that JOSEPH, who was n snappy young
business man, not only changed his
raiment but shaved himself before he
went in to interpret the dream of that
Pharaoh who was one of MENEPTAH's
predecessors. All the very best peo-
pie shaved. so the king, not being cou-
fident that his barber was free from
radical tendencies, went in for the
self-adminlstered twice over.
That MENEPTAH should have so
many razors Is not strange. In the
diary of MACAULAY's sister MARGARET
she tells Of exploring into that great
mans chambers after he had sailed
for India and finding between fifty
and sixty razor strops, hacked to
strips, land razors without beginning
or end" The historian was so clumsy
that he could not put on pair of
gloves properly. He probably bought
one razor after another in an effort
to get the right blade, SO 1t may have
been with the Egyptian king. There
are lots of men nowadays who never
seem TO be suited with the facial steel.
They try old style razors and long
blades with guards and hurry to the
Siiop t'SAy bhc a 'S" S"iStS ID du-

tools, hut with the hands and faces

What VIII Bus Lines Pay the City?

Under their franchises the street
railroads Of New York pay large sums
in taxes. They keep certain portions
Of the highways in repair. In winter
they clear the snow from parts of the
roadways in which their tracks lie.
They are financially responsible for
damage done to property and injury
done To persons in the prosecution of
their business.
We take 1t for granted that the per.
sons in and out of Office who believe
the street cars should be replaced by
buses bear these facts in mind. II they
do not they are overlooking an impor-
tant element in complex problem.

THE sun hopes that Mr.. TUMUL-
rvs official explanation of the Presl-
dents reason for the sudden abandon
ment of his unfortunate Western ad-
venture may be taken as indicating
nothing more than the prudence OF
sagacious advisers in the political
sense and the solicitous professional
care of a cautious and devoted medi-
cal guardian.
Recent reports of Mr.. WILSON'S
condition have represented him as
physically fit and with energy pract-
calIy unimpaired By the long strain
OF his efforts. Only few hours be-
fore the unexpected announcement we
had reassuring accounts of the man
ner in which he was sustaining the
bodily and mental fatigue inseparable
from such an undertaking. The only
disturbing symptoms have been such
rs might be inferred from an increas-
Ing tendency to bitterness of denunci-
ation, and a looser and less charac-
teristic tone of argument manifested
In the later speeches.

ncsis, the Presidents attendants have
Gone wisely in persuading him to

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: II
has often been said that fully TO under

knowledge OF the past. The following
Is a quotation from the Introductory
chapter OF THE American Revolution"
by John Fiske. He says OF George III:
Any one who dared TO disagree with
him upon the slightest point OF policy
he strsightway regarded as q natural
enemy and pursued him ever af;srward
with vindictive hatred. As natural
consequence he surrounded himself
with weak and short sighted advisers,
and toward all statesmen of broad
views and independent character he
nursed the bitterest rancor He had
little faith in human honour or recti-
tude. and in pursuing an end he was
seldom deferred by scruples.
