Investigators, but most of them have

Mr. Burbank's most famous produc-
ton, one that has made his name ia
miliar in all countries where it is
grown, was the Burbank potato. This
was his initial achievement in the world
of horticul- ure, and he was only fifteen
years Of age when it happened. He sold
his interest in the successful vegetable
to a prominent seed firm, and the Bur-
bank became the most widely cultivated
potato ever grown Some years ago,
long after he had developed his mag
nificent California seed farm, Mr.. Bur
bank added fresh luster to his reputa-
ton by introducing a stoneless plum.
This fruit bears a fully developed kerr
mel, but there is no hard she'll One may
bite into this plum without hesitation
and enjoy the nutty flavor Impaired by
the soft kernel. Mr.. Burbank is conf
dent that he could Danish the shell from
the kernel of any fruit and that he
could even produce a walnut without
shell. It would be a matter of ten
years, he stipulates. He exhibited re-
Gently blackberry bush presenting a

He considered this of so little moment
that he did not feature it. It was the
result of the application of Darwin's
theory inversely-the survival of the

those berries which in ripening did not
become pure black. Each trial brought
lighter fruit, and in time it was perfect

the fact that neither fruit contained q
single seed. 1t was a matter Of years,
but nature was avenged.
Some of Mr.. Burbanks best efforts
have been accomplished in the way OF
modifying the habits of fruits and flow
ers. He has converted tropical and
subtropicaI species into temperate zone
kinds and has prolonged the bearing
season of some old favorites and ad-
vanced that of others. He has provided
many hitherto perishable dainties with
long keeping qualities. improved havors
and enhanced form and beauty. Per-
haps the most useful modification pro-
1uced by this necroInancer in the realm
Of Pomona and Flora is that of Short
ening the fruit bearing age of slow
growing fruits The most noticeable
instance of this is to be found in the
new chestnut, which bears well formed
nuts eighteen months after the seeds
are planted.
Luther Burbank was born in Lancss-
ter. Mass, about fifty years ago. AS a
boy he worked in the Anes pillow fac
tory and invented a valuable appliance
which resulted in the offer of a partner
ship if he would remain. He had al
ready become so fascinated by horti-
culture that he declined the hattering
proposal
Soon after the seedless orange APP
peared a Colorado orchardist, John F.
Spencer of Grand Junction, Colo, con-
ceived the idea that what had been done
with the citrus fruit might possibly be
duplicated with the apple. With that
end in view he began a series of expert
mentation which covered a period OF
several years. AS a result he succeeded
in obtaining FIVE trees which produced
see6less and coreless apples.
The new tree is hardy and may be
grown in any climate. 1t is like the or
binary tree save for the fact that it is
apparently 1owerless. The fruit is dark
red with yellow dots and as a winter
variety compares favorably with the
Wine Sap in flavor and is a better keep
er than the Ben Davis. The lack OF
blossoms makes it practically a worm-
less fruit EGBERT SWEET.

ate as a Republican, but withdrew from
the party on account of it's financial
platform. being reelected in 1897 as a
Silver Republican. In 1903 he was re-
turned as a Democrat. In 1877 John T.
Morgan of Alabama made his bow to
the presiding officer Of the senate and
has had no trouble whatever in retain

William Boyd Allison was born in
Ohio on March 2, 1929, the little agri-
cultural village of Perry being his
birthplace. His father was a well to do
farmer, and the future statesman's
childhood wss by no means a record Of
early struggles. He was sent to the
Western Reserve college-then located
at Hudson, o., but later removed to
Cleveland and expanded into 1niver-
sity-where he distinguished himself as
a classical scholar. After graduation
Mr.. Allison studied law and began the
practice of his profession in his native
state. In 1857 he removed to Iowa and
succeeded almost Immediately in build
ing up a lucrative business.
At the breaking out of the civil war
Mr.. Allison was active in the organiza-
ton of volunteer troops and devoted
much time and money to the accom-
plishment of the splendid showing made
by Iowa during the contest. He was
member of the governors staff during
the entire struggle and was largely re-
sponsfble for the zeal shown by the ex-
ecutive department in military affairs.
In 1853 Mr.. Allison was prevailed upon
to become the candidate for his con-
gressiona1 district and was elected. His
service was so satisfactory that he was
kept in the lower house for eight years.
from 1863 to 1871. At the expiration of
that period he was elected to the United
States senate and has never been per-
mitted to make a change.

where he became largely engaged in
mining litigation and in the develop
ment of the Comstock lode. He was a
leading figure in the territorial council
and afterward in the constitutional
convention. When the territory became
a state he was elected its first United
States senator and served two terms.
the Pacific coast and did not return to
the senate until 1887.
John H. Mitchell, senator from Ore
gon, had only just reached the senate
chamber when Mr.. Allison arrived. He
is six years younger than the Iowa SEN
ator, born in Washington county, Pa,
in 1885. He also went to California at
an early day and engaged in the prac-
tice of law. He removed to Oregon in
1860 and opened an Office in Portland.
His political rise was phenomenal.
Within five years after his arrival in
Oregon he had served four years in the
state senate and was a candidate for
the United States senate. He was dis
appointed, however, the caucus uniting
on another man. He won at the follow
ing senatorial contest, but was not re-
elected. In 1885 he triumphed again
and served two terms. Again, in 1897,
he received the unanimous caucus nom
ination of his party, but the minority
in the legislature adopted tactics which
resulted in his defeat. In 1901 he was
once more victorious.
After Mr. Allison had been at wash
ington two years Francis Marion Cock
rell came from Missouri to succeed Carl
Schurz and has remained there to the
present day. A year later Henry Moore
Teller was sent by the brand new state
of Colorado to be it's advocate in the
senate. Mr.. Teller, who had never be-
fore held an office of any description,
retained his position until 1882, when
he resigned to enter the cabinet of
President Arthur as secretary of the in

which to accomplish notable results.
They must be years, too, of patient
never relaxing practice and willingness
to abide by almost imperceptible re-
suits. The student must adopt a regi-
men which win develop his own powers
to the utmost extent, and he must have
an absolute knowledge of the anatom-
icaI points of vulnerability of the hui
man structure. He must know his
anatomy more exhaustively than a
medical student. He must be so famil-
lar with the nerve distribution in the
human body that it is constantly before
his eyes. He must, in short, be able
without a moments hesitation to put
his finger on every spot which is not
secure against the manipulations of jiu
jitsu.
Having perfected himself in the mi
nutiae of anatomy, the student in jiu
Jltsu, familiar now with all the weaker
features of the human system, must
proceed methodically and determinedly
to correct those natural disadvantages
in his own body. Every weak spot must
be strengthened. He must be taught to
endure with equanimity a clutch at his

amateur and to accept with a smile

make a pugilist helpless. This process

of ME- Allison's confreres served as
presidents pro tempore-Henry B. An
thony of Rhode Island, NJ. H. Carpenter
of Wisconsin and Thomas W. Ferry of
Michigan. Both Anthony and Carpen-
ter were capable parliamentarians, and
the senator from Iowa had an opportu-
nifty to study the working of the most
dignified deliberative body in the world
at its very best. Ferry served so long
that he became in time one of the best
presiding officers the senate had ever
known. After Wilson there followed
quarter of a century's succession of ex
ohicio heads of the senate that are
prominent in postbeIlum history -
Wheeler, Arthur, Hendricks. Morton,
Stevenson. Hobart and Roosevelt; Sen
ator Allison has seen them all come and
go.
There are still two men in the senate
who were there when Allison made his
debut. The veteran William Morris
Stewart, first senator from the new
state Of Nevada, which he now repre-
sents, had been a member of the august
body for eight years. Stewart is also
Allison's senior by two years. having

he became a forty miner and immedi-

he began the study Of law, and in the
following winter he was made district
attorney, a remarkable example of le-
gal progression. Two years later he be-
came attorney general of the state. In

ksSg W.; tionaI stimulus by the
lsSaT1E1AE IL: introduction into occi-
I'm III: dental regions of the
Japanese system Of
personal defense and offense known as
jiu jitsu. For a number of years Amer
lean visitors to the island empire had
brought home accounts Of species Of
muscular exercise practiced in that re-
mote country which seemed to SAVIOR of
jugglery pure and simple. The recent
initiation of many americans into the
preliminary mysteries of the art has
demonstrated the fact that jiu jitsu is
a legitimate and mo st wonderful phase
of physical culture Moreover, it is an
art which occupies a. higher plane than
the mere muscular development Of
Caucasian athletics because its ac-
quirerient involves a knowledge of
anatomy and physiology which is not
essential in the crudar methods of civ
ilization- So convincing and so sug-
gestive of possibilities has jiu jitsu ap-
peared in the capable hands of certain
native exponents of the art who have
visited America that it is proposed, in
all seriousness apparently, to introduce
some of its leading features into the
system of police training in American
cities.
Translated literally the term jiu jit-
su means muscle breaking" More
literally construed, It may be called
muscle wrenciling." No japanese who
is a master OF the art will attempt to
do violence to the muscles of his OPP
ponent; he seeks his subsection by
many subtle twists of his joints and
pinches of his nerves He never wres-
ties; he regards it as an unrefned way
of seeking an end which may be reach
