HOMEGROWN FISH POLES.
L. s. to Have Them Through Bamboo
Culture

WASHINGTON, March 5.-There is
hope for home grown fish pole industry.
The zeal of government agriculture
sharps IL in fair way to overcome diff
culties in the way of bamboo culture in
the United States. Undisnayed by past
failures, they have ousted with hot wa
ter, diseases in shoots brought from Chi
ma and Japan and are preparing to start
bamboo grove at Savannah, Ga. Max
ers of not only fish poles, but barrel
hoops, canes, monograph needles, furni-
ture and many other things not including
the dope" pipes whence flowed the
bamboo dreams" of opium smokers in
other days, are expected to get their raw
material at home ultimately.
Propagation in the United States of
bamboo shoots was first attempted ten
or twelve years ago to Chico, Calf. and
Brooksville, Fla. The plants developed
mite" which sapped their vitality,
however, and it was not until experts
discovered the hot water cure that hopes
OF growing bamboo for the market were
bright.

MAY RETURN TO OLD GLORY
Schemes for Reviving Trade and Az

Well Under Way.

1t is pointed out that Syria, il
given chance, will become as rich
as portions of it were in ancient
times, during peaceful epochs when
the Romans dominated its peoples.
Its soil, like much of western Asia,
is rich enough, but what is needed
is the peace that will let its peoples
work, with the hope of holding their
earnings.
The territory reaching from Con-
stantinople to Egypt is sprinkled
with the ruins Of past civilizations,
of prosperous cities such as Tyre
and Sidon of the Phoenicians, which
attest to the development Of ancient
times. The Germans. with their
Bagdad railway scheme, had real
lied what might be done again to re-
people and refructify this great re-
gion, and the French are planning
in the same manner, though not on
so ambitious scale as the Germans,
whose object was to control virtual
ly the old Ottoman empire and reach
on to the Persian gulf.

KNOWN As 'BoTToMLESS PIT
Hole In Earth In South Africa Which
Ne One Has So Far Succeeded

A pit without a bottom-one Of
the most remarkable natural Curl
osities in the worlds found in

lar shaft, about fifteen feet in d.
ameter, and going straight down in
to the bowels Of the earth to an un-
known depth. To the few white
men who have visited it this queer
hole is known as the "Bottomless
Pit" and the name is a peculiarly
apt one, seeing that nobody so far
has succeeded in fathoming it. Vari-
GUS theories have been advanced to
account for the existence of this
strange natural phenomenon, one of
the most plausible being that it
formed the blow-hole of long-ex-
tinct geyser. There is, however, q
circumstantial story among the ma
tives that the shaft is the work of
man, it having, SO they assert, been
dug many years ago by number
of strange people who came from
the North, and went back laden
with gold extracted from it. Yet
another native yarn concerning it is
that long ago men went down the
hole and came out on the bank Of
the Gariep (Orange) river, many
miles away, and that, in one cavern
they passed through, they found

HONORED AFTER FIFTY YEARS
French Woman, Heroine Of the

The heroism shown by a French
woman while in charge of a village
post Office during the Franco-Prus-

Mile. Marie Weick was granted the
title of chevalier of the Legion of
Honor by the French government.
In making the announcement, the

ness and sagacity in 1870.
She was then directress of the
telegraph Office at Schlestadt, from
which she succeeded in keeping the
French army supplied with news by
means of a line kept intact despite
the presence of the Germans and,
although her Office was violently
bombarded by enemy artillery, the
French defense was assured to the
end in the face of the greatest diff
fculties. Mile. Weick was cited in
the order of the day and received
