Could Handle a Shovel.
The foreman Of a Chicago iron mill
once employed a tramp who had been
a college baseball champion. Their
acquaintance began in a way that
showed the tramp still to be game and
cheery, it was a cold autumn dawn,
and the tramp had slept in front of a
furnace on a warm stone. The fore
man, lieing short of laborers, ou his
morning lour of inspection spied the
fellow ami thought he would give him
a job.
“My man,” he said, “can you do any
thing with a shovelV”

his neck is sprained. He walks as

Fires In Bamboo Forests Are the
Fiercest Known.
SWEEP ON A IVhLE A MINUTE.
Like the Roar, the Roll and the Rattlo
of a Great Battle Is the Noise of tho
Exploding Stali<3 That Sometimes
Snoot High Into the Air.
When the forests nre afire, when
the smoke makes dusk at noon and
reddens the harvest moon a thousand
miles away, there is the measure of a
coaS.igmtiou. When the prairies burn,
as they used to before farms b id crept
in upon tiie endless miles of grass,
there was a fire which ran like mad
and left behind it a blackened trail of
dentil. If one could combine the speed
of the prairie fire with the tumult of
the blazing forest, that would be a
tire Indeed.
Such a combination is effected when
the bamboo groves catch fire. Tho
bamboo Is but a grass, a grass with
the height of a tree, swaying stems
reaching 100. even ISO, feet in air.
In Cambodia, where the bamboo
groves along tlie rivers cover the space
of forests. It is no unusual thing for
fires to break out and sweep all before
them for many miles. If the summer
has been dry the bamboo turns sear
and inflammable as any grass.
All that Is needed is a spark; then
ruin runs red. It is not necessary to
rely upon the carelessness of tho
woodsman to start the blaze. The
bamboo can kiudle Itself.
I.et two sway leg stalks of dry bam
boo be set In motion by the breeze, let
one rub across the other long enough,
and the friction will set the spark, and
the long dry leaves will feed the flaiue.
It is known that many fires of the
bamboo forests thus originate. Per
haps it was from observing such a
sight that primitive man learned tho
Promethean secret. That theory has
been advanced.
As soon as a flame In the bamboos
has crept to the level of the tossing
tips It spreads like wildfire. The wind
carries a sheet of flame along the grove
at tremendous speed. Some observer*
say that such fires have been seen to
move forward at the rate of more than
a mile a minute. Seen from below, it
looks as If she sky bad burst into an
instant flash of flame.
From such a burst of fire there could
be no escape. Fortunately It passes
high overhead at the tops of tiie bam
boos. It serves as a warning to the
traveler who may be miking ills way
along someone of the water courses
by which the forest Is intersected. The
bamboo itself Is almost an obstacle to
travel of any sort. It Is well nigh Im
possible to force a way through it ex
cept by the slow and toilsome labor of
hewing out n path.
The Hie In the great trunks moves
more slowly, and if warning be taken
It may be possible to sink one’s boat
arid throw up wet herbage and clay
against the bank of the stream to pro
vide shelter until the furnace blast
has blown by. Such a Hie In the bam
boo has not only the speed of the prai
rie fire on Its sweep overhead, but It
has the same volume of fuel as Is
found in any forest fire. It combines
the t wo types.
Bamboo forest fires have another
quality which is nil their own. Thev
bang and rattle with thunderous
crashes, a3 of artillery fire, without
cessation.
The stalks of these tree bamboos are
frequently more than a foot in diame
ter. Near the ground the Joints are
close together; In the younger growth
the nodes may be several feet apart.
But, long or short ns they may be, each
Joint of the sun dried bamboo is a
tightly sealed chamber filled with air. j
The partitions between the cavities are
singularly tough; the outside rind of
the stalks Is almost pure flint.
When the blast of tlie flame sweeps
onward the air In the stalks upon
which It is driven is suddenly heated
to a very high temperature, 't he resid
uum of moisture which may be In the
stems is immediately transformed into
steam and at once subjected to super
heating, thus becoming a violent e.vplo- j
give. As the hot breath of tlie flame,
becomes hojter these joints burst with
loud cannon discharges.
Sometimes the force of the explosion
near the roots is so great as to shoot
the stalk like a javelin high into the
air, where It into torchlike
flame and is carried by the wind to
spread wider disaster. The bursting
of the smaller joints is like the roll and
"rattle of rifles and machine guns. The
effect is that of a battle hotly contest
ed.—Washington Post.
Missing Opportunities.
“I.have no patience with a man who
makes the same mistake twice,” said
Arrues, rather severely, in speaking of
an unfortunate friend.
“Neither have I,” agreed his wife,
“when there are so many other mis
takes t© make.”—Youth’s Companion.
