is, therefore, of less interest to catalogue
what he has done than TO trace his method
aili speculate as to what may ultimately
be attained in useful plan differentiation.
The most important of the accomplished
results is undoubtedly the change effected
in the desert cactus, diyesttng 1t of spines
ard thorns, eliminating much of its woody
fiber. and making it an Industrious fruit
bearer which will grow on arid lands and
be = delight and source of life rather
than a nuisance and an fncumbrauce even

nurseries two lines of work are followed.
which Mr.. w. S. HARDWOOD, in an apprecia-
tive article IN the Century. describes brief
" and intelligently as follows:
1. Cross pollinatien, which includes cross
ing, the mingling of strains within a spe-
cies. and naturalization, the breeding togefh-
er OF different species.
?. Selection, choosing out such plants as
are lest adapted to the purposes OF the ex-
perimenters.
Mr. Harwood uses the following striking
uiustration of the method and process:
Fer all these untold centuries the plant
has been going forward upon an unbroken
line: now 1t Is suddenly disturbed. Its life
habits are broken up, 1t receives the most
powerful shock nature can give. 1t Is vast
er than the shock of death, for 1t Is death
swiftly blent into a new life. The new
plant sets out upon its journey, never to
return to the old ways.

means In the ~pomato." new and de-
lfeious fruit. which is In fact variant OK

PLANT SURGERY.
Science Aids Nature in Production of
New Species.

From the New York Times.
The results accomplished by Mr.. Luth-
er Burbank in Santa Rosa, Cal. in what
may be called plant surgery are ex-
tremely interesting, and. if not already
fruitful of important practical benefits,
promise to confer such benefits upon
future generations by giving us great
variety of new food products and i'm
proved blooms possessing beauty and
p1easure-gfying qualities. The terms
unnatural and abnormal" which have
been applied to Mr.. Burbanls's results in
plant, differentiation, do not seem to
have been in any sense well chosen. On
the contrary they are in the highest de-
gree inappropriate. Slowly and with
what would appear to be fncalculable
trouble, nature is constantly doing or
trying to do, through the centuries what
science is assisting her to accomplish in
brief seasons.
The results thus far attained by Mr..
Burbank, working under grave difficul-
ties and discouragements, and often sad
Iy hampered by lack of means. are prob
ably of little moment compared with
those which may be reached In the en-
of the row generous and
even enthusiastic recognition. and with
the ample means now at his disposal. In

ed on the street near the "Y" just after
he had stepped from train 46. Policemen
Mccarthy and Beauregard OF the sixth
precinct arrested him and locked him up to
await the arrival of an officer from Fred
erick county. Sergt Hodges was on duty
in the police station when the message
asking for his arrest was received. 1t was
then about IL 30 o'clock. and an hour later
Turner was In custody.
The message was received at the Balti-
more and Ohio depot from the operator at

sage that 1t is reported there Is a negro
on No. 40. beating his way, who attempted
TO assault a young lady at or near Wash

be notified to look out for him.
Yardmaster Robey took the message to

The sergeant went out with three officers
and Turner was arrested on X street near

train He denied that he had committed
any offense in Maryland. but in order that
there may be no mistake made, the police
deemed il advisable to hold him. In all
probability he will not be surrendered to
the Maryland authorities, in event of his
Identification, unless papers are received
for him. as 1t has been reported to the
police that the people about the vicinity
of Washington Junction are In an excited
frame of mind, and may not permit his
removal to the Jail at Frederick.
.'If he is identified as the young womans
assailant," said an officer from a county
adjoining Frederick to Star reporter
this morning, "he will never reach Freder-
lex City alive"
The Prisoners Statement.
In conversation with a Star reporter this
morning the prisoner said that his home Is
at 1914 10th street northwest with his step
father, Grandson Bunggay, and his mother.
More than a year ago, he said. he went to
Connellsville, Pa, and worked at carrying
the hod. Being sick and unable to work, he
concluded he would return home and made
the start on the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road Monday night about 10:45 o'clock.
The train reached Cumberland the following
morning about O'Clock, and that after
noon he left there on freight train coming
as far as Cherry Run. From the latter place
he rode as far as Martinsburg, where he
stopped long enough to purchase some
thing to eat. While there, he stated, he
spent the last So cents he had when he
left Conceivable. He then beat this other
freight as far as Brunswick. Fearing he
might get arrested IL he attempted to ride
