Abundant snows on the higher levels of Yos mite National Park have brought a bumper crop of flowers this season. Attention is called to this fact by the announcement that special provision has been made for this protection of the lavish display from depredations of the thoughtless visitor. "Yosemite's topography, with thou sands of feet difference in altitude in places within hailing distance of each other, makes it possible for the visitor to enjoy flowers of several seasons in a single visit," says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C, headquarters -.it the National eographic Society. CLIMB SPINS FLORAL. CALENDAR. "Leaving the rich San Joaquin Val ley at Merced for the beautiful trip by train through the Canyon of the Mr ced river, scarred by the gold diggings of '49, the traveler turns his floral cal endar backward with each mile of climbing into the Sierra Nevada, pass ing rapidly from full summer to late spring at El Portal, where the official gateway to Yosemite National Park is located. A few miles . farther, at the Gates of the Valley that famous spot where El Capitan stands on the left, Three Graces and Bridalveil Falls on the right, with a vista of Yosemite Val ley between he finds spring in full glory. "And on the same day, visitors to Glacier Point, 'just upstairs from Yosemite Valley, on the rim of the granite wall enclosing the Valley find 3,254 feet higher, will be out skiing and tobogganing on four feet of snow. "By the time summer gets to Yose mite Valley, it is spring time at Glacier Point and when summer gets to the Foint, the Sierra is enjoying the brief season which passes there for both spring and summer, and Yosemite Valley has progressed well towards au tumn. SXOWPLANT PARK WONDER. "Most interesting of all plants to the visitor is the snowplant and no other is so jealously guarded by ths Park authorities. When word of a new stalk is received, a sign is dispatched hastily and erected near it hands off! In its early stages the snowplant is more like a scarlet asparagus tip than anything else. As it matures, tho leaves near the upper end unfold and reveal bells much like those of a hya cinth. The name snowplant is mis leading, according to such a high au thority as Jepson, who says the plant has nothing to do with snow, and that the name probably originated be cause it appears early in spring an j is likely to be caught in a late flurry, which makes the richness of its color ing all the more conspicuous, pausing the uninformed to think that th plant pushed its way through the new snow. "Contrary to the common assump tion, the snowplant is not a parasite, but lives on decaying vegetable mat ter absorbed through intricately lacsd white fibers which serve the plant in place of roots. It is unique in that the food absorbed is at once transmuted into the scarlet stalk and leaves, dif fering from other plants which are veritable chemical laboratories, demand ing chlorophyl to assist them in di gesting their daily meal. BLOOM AS ICE MELTS. STRANGE STORIES f "About the only time I ever thought I'd seen my last day on earth was. last November in Fayetteville." declared David Harris, 709 South Tryon street, who was run over by both wheels of a 3-ton truck loaded with 1,000 brick at that time. "It only goes to prove that the old adage, 'It never rains but it pours' holds true with hard luck," began Mr. Harris. "I had been fined $25 for speed ing in Fayetteville and had walked out of the police court with a mental recollection of enough Sunday school words to conduct a correspondence course in profanity. I was walking down a street hemmed m by high buildings awith my eyes nxed on terra firma, and had the devil popped up with any kind of a proposition to put one over on a certain judge I would have signed a life time contract on the. spot. i 'I had just reached the corner when I glanced up. I thought at first it was the devil. I didn't hava dme to change my opinion Something crack ed me in the stomach and sat me down in the middle of the street. It then cracked me in the chest and knocked me flat. In a second it was cn top of me. I realized it was a truck, al though it looked like a warehouse on wheels. One wheel went over my shoulder: the other across my left leg. Atlas had a soft job compared to mine. I didn't have long to think of Atlas, before the rear wheel got my foot. Three tons and a thousand brick ross gently up into the air. 'Thoroughly satisfied with his job, the driver drove off a few yards and stopped. As yet I had felt no real pain, but I practically knew I was a dead man. , "On the operation table at the hos- pitl a few moments later, I heai"d a doctor say: " 'Shall we wire his people?' " 'Well, said another one, 'It 3 a mighty serious case.' ' 'Get the X-ray and the instruments,' shouted another. "I really did see the devil then. I knew I didn't have a chance. I coald feel the broken bones sticking out of my shoulder and leg. I was losing blood by the quart. My heart was getting weaker and weaker every sec ond . Suddenly a hazy mist swam be fore my eyes and I knew that was the stepping off place. I shut my eyes and prepared for tke worst. "What was that? One of the doc tors was speaking again. " 'Remarkable,' he said. 'Never heard of such a case. Not an injury of any kind to speak of. Only a bruise or two. And a 3 -ton truck loaded with a thousand brick, too! Get up, here! Put on your clothes and thank your lucky stars they are not your grave clothes.' "Well, sir, I could hardly take it in! I felt my legs and my shoulder. The broken bones went back fn and the blood immediately stopped flowing. The mist all went away and I sat up. "I .was best man in a wedding a day or so later," concluded Mr. Harris. "I have never known to this day exactly what kind of a position I must have been in for a 3-ton truck with a thou sand brick to knock me down and run over me without injuring me."

The seniors held full sway Monday I They paraded across the campus as lords of all for the last time. They started the morning by marching to the chapel, clad in caps and gowns, and there Rev- .W. T Moss of the Chapel Hill Presbyterian Church led them in the reading of Scripture and addressed them in big-brother style. After a short recess, the seniors again gathered to hear the orations for the Willie P. Mangum medal. FOUR ENTER CONTEST President Chase presided at the con test, and four speakers, the cream of a brilliant speaking class, delivered their orations, John H. Kerr, Jr., of Warrenton, on "North Carolina and of Warrenton, on "North Carolina and the South," Phillip Kettleman, of Goldshoro on "The Struggle for Supremacy," T. C. Taylor, of Sparta, on "What is the Matter with the South" and William H: Bobbitt, of Charlotte, on "North Carolina and the South." Thtj decision was withheld until the final exercises Wednesday morning. . Following a senior barbecue the class gathered once more on the campus late this afternoon and ?at in a big circle on the grass. President W. R.

F. R0ARK Diamond Merchant . Silversmith, Jeweler. 10 North Tryon St. "There probably are more than 1,000 different species of flowering plants, shrubs and trees in Yosemite. Some of them, like the marsh buttercup, seem to bud beneath the snow and then burst into bloom as soon as the icy covering melts. On the high lev els of the park a thin patch of snow will disappear under the influence of a hot sun and the patient botanist in a few nours can see the buttercups un folding into full blossom. This un doubtedly is due to environment, na ture having taught the flowers of th. high altitudes to adapt themselves to the brief season of warmth. "Indian paintbrush, thick clusters of pink bells on the manzanita, wild lilac, azaleas along the river bank, dogwood, lavender shooting stars, and many others appear in eariy spring. In June oomes the gorgeous Mariposa lily, varying in color from a white to a deep red, and resembling a cultiva ted tulip.. Then , there is the Wash ington lily, throwing its large whittt blooms high above the chaparral. Lu pines reach their prime in August there are so many different kinds in Vnsemite that some of them never have seen classified. You can see them in acre stretches in. the meadows, b4i looking like miniature forests, topped by brilliant petals. The fire weed also grows in luxuriance. "MONKEY FLOWER." "Comparatively rare among the flow ers of Yosemite, and as beautiful as any orchid, is the mentzelia, or blaz ing star, yellow petals, orange center, with a fringe of long stamens, givi-g it an exotic appearance. Curiosities among the park's flowers are the yel low monkey flower ana purpie ele phant head, the former taKing its name from the plaintive and humorous little face outlined on it. while the lat ter suggests the flapping ears and long trunk of an elephant. "Another interesting plant is the quinine bush, the bitter leaf of whi-;h is used by the Indians as medicine." KING COAL SUDDENLY DETHRONED BY STRIKE BY LLOYD ALLrN, United Press Staff Correspondent. London, June 14. King Oil has sud denly come in for widespread popular ity here and King Coal's dictatorship over the British industry is a thing of the past, according to expert opinion. England's great coal stoppage was responsible for. popularizing fuel oil.; All over the country factories, rail ways, power plants, nospnais, mincu h. to foreign -produced ruei ou m mmu their coal bins were emptied, when 1, 200 000 British , miners refused to ac cept drastic wage reductions and stop ped worki ' - , . Fuel oil one of America's favorite fuels, but hitherto virtually unknown in England has come io uiy, x-wm-insr to authoritative prediction. j -:;, nnhiir.. services and industry' will never again be wholly dependent ! Unacquainted with the simplicity of installing oil burners, the British peo pie were rather astounded to learn that immense power plants could, in an emergency, be converted in a very few days from coal to oil. ' on That just what happened. When the coal pinch caused widespread em barrassment, fuel oil firms were con suited and assured all inquirers i b.g stocks of fuel oil were being held m the country and quick deliveries could be made from abroad to replenish the St'rgTJtocks of oil-burning equip ment were also at hand. England's general public was high ly Iratified.. Presence of fuel oil meant continuation of great lighting plants and power, plants providing juice 'for street , car systems.
