IA7THUR BURBANK,
The Wisard of Fruit and Flowers.
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

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?

A Demon Woman.
Just at the present time the whole
world is shocked with a discovery
that has been made near La Porte,
Ind. 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.

MILLENNIUM IN 1?! 1.
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?

An Aeronaut's Prose
Poeny
By J. C. McCoy. ,
Now the clouds shut out from view
all that human eyes are used to know,
and a new world strange to man is
all our own.
We are alone in epace, where for
eternal years only time has dwelt.
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
