Changes Radish Into Potato.

Paris.-M Moiiard, a weil-hnowu
French botaEist, has discovered the
way to turn radishes into pc, atoes. He
takes a young radish, "Pssteurizes" it,
plants it again, and it grow up potato.
The process by which this transforma-

The young radish is cultivated in a

Barr, Seq Jockey.
Carer of Great Skipper Whc WOn Kaiser's Cup For
 America.

By reason of his recent exploit of steering the schooner Atlantic to vic tory in the kaiser's transatlantic cup race Captain Charles Ban has estab- lished a new claim to fame. That Barr is the greatest of all racing yaehtsmen no one can dery. His rec ord of victories is sensational He is the wizard of the sea and seems to have supernatural ability to send yachts across finish lines in the van of desperate rivals.
 Barr is the embodiment of courage and confidence. Boastfulness is for eign to bis nature. He dislikes to be inactive, and when he hasn't a com mand is studiously looking still deep CT into the mysteries of his calling. No yachting skipper in the world exceeds him in his knowledge of the rules of racing. Quick as an electric flash in eases of emergency, he has escaped the many unpleasant incidents of his call ing which are often due to errors.
 Since the days of the Minerva, which he raced across the Atlantic, Barr has been well known and liked by yachts men. Although born in Gaurock, Scot land, he has been citizen of the Unit ed States for many years. His han ding of the cup defenders Columbia and Reliance and the deep interest in the success of these boats alone enti- tie him to premier honors in his calling and the friendship of the American people.
 Barr brought the Vigilant back from England in the spring of 1895, and then came near looping of hours from the record of the western passage. The yachting world has credited him with his full due in the matter of the Ingo- mars trip abroad last year, and the way that he cut down the successes of her opponents to a minimum is regard ed as marvellous. It looks nowadays as if when nautical victories are to be achieved those 'in charge, if ever in doubt, must fall back on Barr,
 Barr never becomes excited or ''rat- ted" At the finish of one of his most exciting America's cup races he quiet ly ate an apple while the ocean about him was pandemOnium and the wires on land and under the sea were telling the story of his achievement.
 At the Lizard, England, where the recent race finished, he celebrated the Atlantic's victory by smoking cigar
