IMPROVING ON NATURE.

For years the scientific gardener
has been gathering apples from pear
trees, and picking cherries and dam
sons off the same branches, and,
though the quest of the black tulip
has SO far been in vain, the blue rose,
We are told, has at last arrived at
Kew Gardens. Years ago horticul-
turists were interested in the an
nouncement that a nurseryman at
Essy, in Slavonia, had secured a wild
rose from Servia which was said to
give blooms of a deep violet blue, and
that, after two years of cultivation,
the rose retained its color But there
is still an uncertainty whether the
blue tint was natural or produced by
chemical means, in the same way as
another horticulturist is known to
have produced black rose. Most
people will be content, no doubt, with
the "red, red rose that sweet1y blooms
in June and nobody will very much
deplore the failure of the efforts to
produce roses of black, or blue, or
green or any other unnatural color.
More pardonable, perhaps, is the
hobby of the man who would grow
universal fruit tree. Even this, of
course, is contrary to all laws of ma
ture, and ought by natural law to be
abolished. But there is a farmer in
Herefordshire who insists, it is said.
on gathering-not grapes from this
ties, but pears and plums and apples
from cherry trees. Many years age
the enterprising farmer grated these
alien fruits on to his cherry tree. anG
by. careful cultivation the four
branches have been brought to fur
fruition. Many of the visitors to
Naples have seen a famous tree there
on which oranges and lemons grow
side by side.-St. James Gazette.

consequence. Recent literature of
fiction has teemed with protagonists
whose claims upon the sympathetic
consideration of readers consisted
mainly in successful evasions of for
nal and constituted justice
His Early Career.
There is no lesson or moral that Is
not perfectly obvious in Tracy's ca
reer and end The dispatches say
that the members of the posse who
were in at the death are quarreling
over the geographical disposition of
his body-not than anybody is ami
mated by a desire to give it decent
burial, but because there is fear
of crookedness in the dividing of the
considerable reward the state of
Washington agreed to pay for the
cadayer. The most charitable and
reasonable supposition is that the
man was a hopeless degenerate
that fibre of his moral and ethicaI
being had been twisted and tortured
in such manner that he was without
consciousness of right or wrong eA-
cept as they we're distinguished by
: the law which he spent the greater
part of his life in defying and violat-
ing.
He had lived under aliases here
and there. Some of his kinsfolk
have been described as good, gentle
jewellers in New York city. It is
known that Tracy was never a bic
thief-never a man who went after
large booty-and this would seem TO
argue that he was simply a moral
anarchist, lacking in intellectual guio,
ance. He was a thief in small
way ten years ago in Cincinnati, and
afterward was in a punitive institu-
ton in Chicago. He went to Colo
RADIO in 1896, became a rustler, and
killed one man in quarrel and all,
ether in abiding arrest.
He afterward killed a deputy sher.
Tiff who tried to arrest him for the
earlier murders, was jailed in Aspen.
Col, escaped after stunning the gaol-
er with blow of his fist, became a
highwayman in Utah, and went to
Seattle to become the associate of
petty criminals. He drank and
gambled whenever he had money.
but was not dissipated with regard
to women, although the northwest
towns like Seattle swarm with the
worst.
He Joined Merrill at Portland, and
there shot a detective who tried to
arrest him for highway robbery. The
two were captured, but Tracy stole
a locomotive, and managed to get
away for a week of liberty before he
was recaptured. After conviction.
he cowed his jailer with a revolver
and engaged in a pistol fight with a
deputy That was his last fight be-
fore being taken to Seattle to serve
the twenty-year term, three years
ago.
There is no question that we shall
have Tracy on the stage, and, in the
course of few weeks, in the dime
novels; but the world in general were
better had somebody able to take
the mans measure, spiritual and emo
tional, known him and observed him
as he was
