Luther Burbank has attracted a vast amount of attention because he has attempted, and to a considerable extent succeeded, in doing something quite novel, at least in this country. He Is breeding up plant, fruit and vegetable life. He Is the godfather of the sugar prune, a -riant in com I pariaon to Its ancestor, the French prune, of which California produced I 110.000,000 pounds of the dried pro-4 c*uct in a year. The sugar prune ripens earlier and Is of immense com- I mercial value. Burbank Is also tho maker of the wed less plum, which k* accomplish- I ed by eroelng two varieties of the Pruns trluora. The white blackberry's triumps of the wizard of horticulture's triumph*. I Sixty-five thousand bushes were used I In tests before he developed this phe oomenon. Re haa given to the arid deserts* a new species of gras? which will grow on the plains without water. He con verted the cactus Into an edible plant. The wild potato of South America also received hie attention. From a single eye of this potato he develop ed 120 hybridisations and grew a large tuber of good quality Mr. Burbank has made endless ex? periments with the potato. He keeps en his farm at Santa Rosa no less then 10.000 varieties for experimen? tal purposes. He has grown potatoes of every shape end color, round, I long, short, square, pure white, pink, crimson, purple and yellow. Burbank potato seedlings have been shipped all I over the world. The late Cecil Rhodes planted 10,000 of hie seedless plum trees in South America, and now they I have multiplied Into the millions. I1 "I worked seventeen yean to pro-1 dooe a raspberry, free from all thorns I ?without a pricker In it nor a par- 11 Hole of rutty brown," he said. 11 Mr. Burbank haa eliminated *he I fuiatnees and acid from the quince?I In fact there ,1s hardly a trait or vege- I table that has not been experimented I upon by Mr. Burbank, sometimes to I their improvement, sometimes on-1 < satisfactorily. In tho flower eons ne I hat ennobled many flowers. x He has grown a crimson poppy, a| Shasta or larger growth of the ox-eye I daisy, and he has produced various I new colors of roses, notably his lat- I sex, the blue rose. Theue results in I plant life are obtained through ae-1 lection and crossing. Ha Implants the I pollen of oha upon the stigma of! the other. Ha gathers his selections I from all over the world, and whan I Che cross produces a seed he plants I It and experiments until he secures I MM desired result A strawberry Is crossed With a| blackberry, or one of a species with I another. Sometimes thousands of I plants will grow when but one de-1 estops the Ideal desired. From 100. 000 appls tree seedlings but ons was I selected. From ?1,000 bushes but one I whits blackberry was chosen. If r. Bur bank's work has been widely recognised, commented upon I and not Infrequently criticised. The I Catasgle Institute of Pittsburg award ed him 110,000 a year for ten years I for experimental purposes. Mr. Burbank Is a Uving example of his own theory of trantmisrlon of I tialt*. His mother's family ?ncluden I ?be famous horticulturists Rom and I Burp res. From his father he In ? I Nerited a bent for mechip-oal Invon-1 t'ona A a boy he lived) on a farm I n i took a great Interest in grape I rroa Ing. He was born In Lancaster. I a'ass., an J educated in the grammar I schools, immediately going Into the I Ames Plow-works, but his love of na ture led him to take up experimental work and he went to California In I 1S7I to secure a suitable climate. He started a nursery business to maintain his experiments, acquiring! sufficient property and achieving no- I table success, he gave his whole at- I tentlon to his great passion. Nature I has been his only school, for he Is I not a book scientist. He lives moder- I ately and Is himself a man of the sim? plest habits and desires. "My aim Is to benefit mankind, and if I can Im? prove our fruits it Is my duty to ful? fill my destiny," he has said. He Is a tireless worker, a man of quick perceptions and keen discrim? ination. He eschews publicity and aeldom leaves his farm, shutting hlm ?elf up and protecting his time from all Intruders. He Is fifty-eight yenrt old and a bachelor. He never uses tobacco or alcohol In any form, be? lieving them both detrimental to in? tellectual work. The sum total of hh theory of plant life Is, to use his own words. "That there Is no weed which will not sooner or later respond liber? ally to good cultivation and persistent selection."?L. J. Simpson In Tech? nical World.

While as yet the mystery of the affair has not been solved, nor its extent been fully revealed, enough has been discovered to leave no doubt that near that quiet little town lived a woman who in her deeds equalled, or surpassed, all the female fiends of which there Is a record. This woman was known as Mrs. Quinness, a native of Norway, who passed as a widow and some years ago bought a little farm near the town of La Porte. She seems to have lived without having much in? tercourse with her neighbors, but while she lived Isolated yet there was no suspicion that she was other than she seemed, a woman not socially in? clined, but otherwise above reproach. She has been living with her three children, which were believed to be hers, and who attended the public schools. One night about a week ago her house burned down. When neigh? bors, attracted by the blaze, arrived nothing could be done to save the house, and when the Are had burned itself out the discovery was made that the woman and her children had per? ished In the flames. At least the chi rred corpses of the three children were found, and also the remains of a woman believed to be Mrs. Quin? ness. But a much more horrible dis? covery was mode. The body of a man was found buried In the orchard at the back of the house, and this And was quickly followed by others, until eleven fresh graves had been found close by the woman's house. That \hey were killed by her with or without accessories cannot be doubted, and this presents her as a fiend Incarnate, a woman who in cold blood munjered one victim after another, buried them near her house, snd then calmly pursued her course until she could kill the next How many persons were thus killed In this quiet little farm house has not1 yet been determined, since the search for > graves has not been completed. Nor Is It known why the killed her vic time. % One of them, at least, was a man whom she had tared to her home through a matrimonial adver? tisement and who carried with him a considerable sum of money. Per? haps him the killed to get his money, and perhape others of her victims were murdered by this fiend for the earns reason; but not all of them. For one of her victims was a young woman whom the had adopted it a daughter, and whom the could not possibly have killed for money. Since these horrrlblc discoveries hsve been made It Is believed that the woman's body found In the burn? ing house Is not that of the murder? ess, but a body substituted by her to create a belief that the was dead, while the really escaped. Efforts are now being made to gain certainty on thlt point But whether the escaped, or her? self fell the victim at last to another murderer, there Is no doubt that this woman, who lived unsuspectedN for years amid surrounding neighbors, excels Lucretla Borgia and all the other 111 famed murderesses of whom there Is record, in the number of her victims snd the cause and circum? stances of the many murders she committed.

Baltimore Man Says Two-Thirds ur . I the People Will Dii-?Cancels His I Life Insurance. Seriously believing that in October, 1914, or in the year following, the millennium will come, the existing or? der of earthly things will change and I that two-thirds of the people of the earth?the wicked two-thirds?will go down to eternal death, Mr. Charles H. Anderson, senior partner in the com- I mission firm of C. H. Anderson & Co., I on South Calvert street, has canceled two policies of life insurance, which would become effective at that time, Mr. Anderson is well known in the commission trade and, being a busi-j ne*ss man, he sees no use in continuing to pay premiums on policies that will do him no good, because the mix-up I that's coming will turn the insurance companies upside down. The policies canceled were issued by New York I companies and are of the 20-year kind, one expiring in 1914 and the other after the time the millennium I is due. Lots of things are going to happen In 1914, air. Anderson says, and he supports his belief with a line of Scripture argument. He believes that there's going to be a great trou- I ble on earth. There will be financial I panics, he says, cities will be burned I down, earthquakes will come every I day, riots will break out and anarchy blossom, armies and navies will kill I each other trying, to put down up risings and insurance policies will not be Worth a snowball in the place which he says does not exist. "To prove that those things will happen," he said, "all you've got to do is to look at the things that are happening now. The trouble Is be-1 ginning. Look at the panic laax Octo- I ber; look at the outbreaks of anarchy I and all the other trouble in the world. In 1914, when the millennium comes and ?hrist comes to rule the earth, all the existing forms of government will be wiped.out and nations w^ill I cease to exist. I "That's proved in the third chap-1 ter of Zephaniah, in the eighth verse: 'Therefore, wait ye upon me, saith the Lord, until the day that I rise up to the prey; for'My determination is to I gather the nations, that I may as- I sembie the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all My fierce anger; for all the \earth shall be | devoured with the fire of My jeal- I ousy/M Mr. Anderson is in earnest about the coming of th4 millennium. He I says he has been studying the Bible I for 10 years to get at this conclusion, I and he has read, besides, the writings I of Biblical scholars who believe the same thing. He believes Christ is on earth now, Having come in 1878, which was the end of the gentile age in which we are now living. The years between 1873, the end of the age, and 1904, which he says is going to bei the time when the good and the bad are separated, are the years of har vest, in which the decision between who shall die and who shall live is being made. . The date when the end is coming is determined, Mr. Anderson says, by Biblical chronology, which shows that the year 1873 was just 6,000 years after the creation of Adam. I That, he says, ended the age. "The Lord made heaven and earth in six days," he said, "and as 1,000 years are as but a day in the sightj of the Lord?you'll And that in thel second epistle of Peter?the age shall I end. We are now in the harvest per- I iod, which is the beginning of the end. "The Lord came on earth in 1873.1 That was his second advent. He came thief-like, as the Bible says he would, and he is preparing to come into his inheritance and rule the earth. We cannot see him In the flesh, but he I is here. '\ "When the millennial dawn comes I two-thirds of the people, the sub? jects of Satan who now rule the earth, will go down to eternal death. While the other third, people who have be? lieved In God and loved him; will re? main in eternal peace on earth. This will be f!he promised land. "Now, I don't believe that nil busi? ness will stop and that the whole : world will be destroyed. I believe I that with the millennium all that is wicked and bad and corrupt and not according to the law of God will not survive the trouble that will come, and will perish." In view of all this Mr. Anderson added that there wouldn't be an in? surance policy left that would be worth 10 cents on the dollar.?Balti? more Sun.

Without direction to our way we trav? el on, for in these regions so remote to all mankind direction is unknown ?no east nor west nor north nor south, does mark our path. The hori? zon, man's constant friend below, has disappeared, and eyes, burdened by never ending distance, give up the quest of limitless space. Sound fled from solitude so great, afraid to be alone, and even to our care she seems to be afraid and echoes back to safety from the cloud below. As far as eye can reach the scene is clothed in white, as though the snow of ages piled on snow of ages gone before, is bleached for? ever by a never sinking sun. Fantastic shapes of splendor un described are reared within the time of thought, but for a glance alone, and soon dissolve to give us a chance to view new shapes of greater splen? dor far, arisen at our side. The sun in splendor undisturbed since placed on high by nature's God, shines down though blue which skies imprison, and will shine on until the end of time shall come and man will be no more. \ Faculties brought from below and used to tell us ivhere we are and where we. go are all at fault in this strange place, and though we fly as | on the winds and with a speed equal- | led by thought alone, still it is as If WS yet stood still and let the sloth pass by, for here no speed Is known short of the speed at which the light is bunched from worlds unseen and travels yet to meet our night.?New York World.- ?
