WORKING MIRACLES.

How does Mr.. Burbank work his
wonders? Here are two plants - one
from Australia, perhaps, the other
from Siberia. Each plant has Its char
acteristics, its life habits, its structure,
it's hereditary tendencies--a life distinct
from all others. Each has preserved
it's identity one thousand years, per-
haps ten times ten thousand years, not
varying to any great extent through
the long centuries. He takes these two
plants and gives them the opportunity
TO unite. Struggle as each may, with
the fervor of ten thousand years Of
habit powerfully upon II, it cannot
overcome the change.
The pollen from one of the flowers
has found its way to, the stigma Of the
other, borne by the sensitive finger tips
OF the man accustomed to walt with
patience the outcome of his projects.
A year passes. The seed from the new
plant is planted. From it may come a
plant like both Of its ancestors, or like
neither-like nothing yet born In the
vegetable life Of the world. i.
And this is what is sought; to make
it different to break up its life tenden'
cies, to reconlbine the hereditary infiu'
ences of its ancestry. In the breaking
up it may produce q whole series Of
monstrosities, the most strange and
grotesque plants that ever took root In
the soil Of, the earth. Some Of the
plants are hideous, and all such are
put to death. + {
For the object is not to produce abb
normally. but a splendid form, plant
which shall have the best characters
tics Of both parents and become new
and powerful factor In the beauty and
utility of the race. The next year ana
the next there are more seeds and more
plants; and in few years SO great /.
the progression, there may be fivt
hundred thousand. Bear In mind thai
some Of the greatest botanists De thi.
and other days have carried in their In
vestigations into plant life and made
their deductions and formulated d do2,
en- plants. Mr.: Burbank has used al
many as ambition plants for a single
test, and he has more than once rejec
ted every one Of the million, save, per
haps, half a dozen. Or even less. =
When the great mass Of plants in 1

REPUBLICANS TO CONFER.
Nesting Of State Central Committee in
Baltimore This Evening.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, December 10, 1903
Representative Sydney e. Mudd will go to
Baltimore this afternoon to attend a meet
Ing OF the republican state central COM
mittee to be held this evening at the Hotel
Rennert. This meeting is designed primarily
for the purpose Of receiving the report of
the special committee named last summer
to prepare amendments to the party con-
stitution. Mr.. Mudd is chairman of the
special committee, and it was at his re-
quest that the meeting was called by Chair
man John B. Hanna. It is Mr.. Mudd's
wish that the report concerning amend
ments to the constitution should be referred
to the entire committee.
The situation regarding the organization
OF the two branches of the legislature Is In
most unsettled condition, and 1t is agreed
that some clever politics will have to be
played by the faction that captures the
prizes. The organization leaders profess
to claim that things will work out all right
and that there will be little friction In the
caucus so far as the organization of the
senate and house is concerned.
Gov Warfeld is busy preparing his mes
sage, and 1t is believed that he intends to
recommend the passage of corrupt prac-
tees act and that he will urge the legis-
lature to keep itself free from the CRATER
and the lobbyist The governor is still
firm in his position relative TO the speak
ership of the next house, and will, 1t is be-
lieved, use every effort at his command to
secure the election of DR.. Richard s. Hill
of Upper Marlboro.

EFFECTS OF THE GALE.
Revenue Cutter onondaga in Search Of
Vessels in Distress.

The United States revenue cutter Onon-
daga has put to sea from Norfolk on the
lookout for vessels that may be in distress
On the coast, in consequence of having been
disabled in the great storm that swept up
the coast last week. The cutter took on
coal and stores as soon as the storm began
and sailed as soon as 1t was safe for her
to venture out In the teeth of the bowling
gale. Last winter, after several gales. the
Onondaga went out on relief trips, and was
the means of saving many thousand dollars
worth of valuable floating property. The
cutter Window is cruising on Chesapeake
bay on the lookout for vessels In distress
in consequence of injuries received in the
recent storm, but as far as known there
was but little injury done shipping on the
bay and its tributaries by the gale.
Reports coming from points along the
coast state that the gale was one of the
most severe that has been experienced in
years, and steamships from coast ports are
limping into port showing the effects of the
terrific battering they received from the
heavy seas. They are all from fifteen to
thirty-six hours behind their schedule
time.
The barkentine which was seen at anchor
on Cape Henry during the gale Saturday
last was the Westfield OF Jacksonville, Fla,
and not the Baltimore barkentine White
Wings. as was reported. The Westfield was
brought into Hampton Roads yesterday
by tug In badly damaged condition. hav-
ing lost one of her anchors. nearly all her
canvas and spars broken. She was bound
from Jacksonville to New York with a
cargo of timber aboard, and was In grave
danger Of going ashore when the tug reach
ed her. During the gale the huge seas made
clean sweeps over her and carried away the
greater part of her deck load of timber and
everything that was not securely fastened
to the deck.
The westfeld was formerly the British
barkentine South America, and was built
at Carrickfergus. ireland. In 1891.
