"a Wonder Worker of Science
(Salt Lake Tribune)

| Nooto t<ohO LAAboAOJ
Mr.. Luther Burbank of Santa Rosa,
CAL, is one of the great geniuses, not
of the present time alone, but of all
time. He is worker in the field of
nature, and his work has attracted
the notice of the great scientists of
the world, for he has demonstrated
that the perpetuity of vegetable
species can be interrupted, and the
nature and species of plant, flower
or fruit, altogether changed. Wise
men from all parts of the world go to
see his wonders, and to note how he
works his miracles. An old notion
that man could not originate a new
species of growth is SO far set aside
by his experiments, that those who
see them wonder what will be the
limit of this wizard of botany in his
daring and successful creations. He
takes plant from Siberia, say, fixed
in type, another from Australia. each
with its Enthusiastically distinct
life; with his finger tips he puts the
pollen from one into the stigma of
the other, and from the cross is grad
ually evolved an entirely new and
distinct species, whose permanence
becomes fixed.
He has worked through poverty and
distress, year by year, needless Of
the scott of undiscerning neighbors.
until his shining success puts him
among the highest of the earth's mag
nificent original investigators, a man
whose labors will rebound to the i'm
measurable benefit of humanity. He
has produced fruit trees that will
Withstand the frosts along the Allan
tic seaboard; originated the "plum-

wild blum, Japanese plum, and the

Omitting the lesser commendable

He makes no gibes.

To one who knows.

Touching the bare and unlovely

Liverpool offered no encouragement fol

The local market openei steady 7 to II
points higher in response to the cables

buyers were selling, thus lending weight
to the argument that the reduction of
certain short lines yesterday was for the
purpose Of selling on any bulge, and by
noon the market had irifted back to
about the opening figures. After this,
trading which had been fairly active be-
came quiet and the market dropped into
an irregular rut.
The advance in Liverpool was partly
reactionary, partly the result of a better
feeling as to the Russian situation. In
respect to this latter, we can hardly fig
ure how it can be regarded as anything
but bearish, for even if this is not a revo-
luton, Russian industrials are unsettled

RUSSIAN WAR PICTURE
A Terrific Arraignment of the Russian
Governments Course in Drafting
Fathers of Families and Fore
2 ing Poles and Finlanders
into the First Line
D. - of Battle. -z,-

Extracts from a remarkable letter
received from Polish woman who is
in very close touch with the actual war
situation in ssia.-New York World J
In the first lines Of battle are placed
not Russians, but peoples prosecuted by
the Russians-poles, Jews, Finlanders.
Our brother Poles constituted 40 per
cent of the first Manchurian army.
Among the groans and prayers of the
dying, our Polish tongue was heard on
all the bloody battle fields It filed the
darkened earth with curses for the per-
petrator of this devastation.
It is false that voluntary contribu-
tions are given by the Poles. These
voluntary contributions are deducted
from the salaries of officials without
their consent, or obtained from citizens
by threats. They knew the money
would disappear into the pockets Of Of
fetal thieves who fattened on the hard
earnings of the Russian people. Today
the Russian papers report that hero
who received decoration for courage
on the battle field had not even shirt
on which to pin the symbol It is false
that the injured rise from their beds
and rush into the lines eager to fight
again. The injured have no beds; the
moneys appropriated for the purpose
are stolen.
Il is not enough that our brothers are
perishing by thousands in foreign
land, paying with their blood for the
|perfdy Of that government which tore
from them their freedom and their
fatherland. Our people are brought to
the last stage of misery. Tens of
thousands without work-fathers who
can not feed their childrer-walk the
streets of Warsaw and Lodz.
Yet there is not enough misfortune
Mobilization is announced Another
10000 victims are drafted from the
land-the land of graves and crosses.
You can not imagine the savage de-
spair which overpowers the masses
torn from the plow, from the hearth,
from wife and children.
You do not know that women throw
themselves under the wheels of the
trains that carry their relations to the
Far East: that cases Of sudden death
and madness occur every day; that in

They take widowers with large families
of small children. One Of these men
called to the service hung his three
small children and reported the fact to
the military authorities There was no
one with whom to leave them.
Another called to the ranks on the
day of the death of his wife, who left
him a 2-year-old baby and a newborn
infant, took an ak and killed the chill
dren and placed them in the coffin with
their mother. Another fman when
called to the army, killed his wife, his
chiliren and himself
We see it all at close range We hear
the means OF agony, we see the misery
and oppression OF the people and we
are told that the war is going to last
long, very long.
A Polish woman protests against
that in.quitous> determination. She
calls not in the name of a clique or
party, but in the name of those peasant
women who threw themselves under
the car wheels; in the name of those
others who with their little children are
thrust helpless into the streets; in the
name of those wEo suffer, weep and

contribute to the illusion. costumes and

early California life will find pleasure
in the play, in spite of its melancholy
theme.
Miss Calhoun herself is a Califor-
nian, once of San Jose, but for some
years past sojourning in London. To
this fact is doubtless due the sympa-
thetic handling of her material. The
actress herself appears as Ramona and
shows herself player of considerable
charm and cultivation. Miss Calhoun
is particularly pleasing as the young
Indian maid, girfish, spirited and alto
gether attractive. She looks the part
charmingly, with her long, shining
braids of black hair and olive skin.
There are some good people in sup
port of the actress and the whole pro-
duction is interesting. The play sug-
gests wide and attractive field for
the dramatist.
An engagement soon forthcoming. for
Shakespeare's Merrie Month of Nav.
will be that of Julia Marlowe and E.

welded is not an angel, nor does she
look like one.
Therefore if her nose be uptilted, he
wants ii that way in her portrait, and
without reduction. If she be scant of
hair. he wants her to be honest with
posterity and own up to it in her pic
ture. If. her mouth be big enough to
whisper into her ear he wants it just
that way-no rosebud embellishments
for him. / veritably believe if she had
a wart on her nosetip. he would want

These husbands say the artists,
"are the limit for wanting true like
nesses' the appallingest thing in the
world to a woman. Now, where's the
poor artist at ?-between his IDEAL
ism and the vanity of the woman on
one hand and the brutal frankness OF
the husband on the other-he who
pays the bill?
Now this was exactly the position of
Chairman. He painted the woman as
he saw her-or to be more explicit as
he wanted TO see her. He emphasized
the glory of her midnight eyes, he
deepened the tone of her ripe lips, he
gave to her ivory skin the tint of the
tea rose-she was ravishingly lovely
and lovable-and the woman smiled
at the embellishments" and approved.
Not so with her husband. who squinted
at and scrutinized the splendid crea-
ture and then condemned it-he
wanted picture of his wife-and that
wasn't his wife as he saw her. Re-
