too badly crippled to maintain her
supremacy. While no news. have
been received concerning the condi-
ton of the Japanese fleet it is more
than probable that Japan's naval
equipment has been seriously injur-
ed. If this be true the public will
not be given any definite information
relative to the Japanese naval
strength. 1t is critical hour fer
Japan al besJ. To successfully nego-
tiate peace she must make a show
of being able to maintain her sea su-

sian will insist upon terms which

ROOSEVELT ON THE HABITS
OF THE WOLF OF THE DESERT

These southern coyotes or prairie
wolves are only about one-third the
size of the big gray timber wolves of
the northern Rockies. They are too
small to NEEDLE with full grown
horses and cattle. but pick up young
calves and kill sheep as well as any
small domesticated animal that they
can get at. The big wolves flee from
the ne~ighborhood Of anything like
close settlements, but coyotes hang
around the neighborhood Of man much
more persistently. They show a fox
like cunning In catching rabbits, prai-
RE dogs. gophers and the like. After
nightfall they are noisy. and their
melancholy wailing and yelling are ia
miliar sounds to all who pass over
the plains. The young are brought
forth in holes in cut banks or similar

localities. Within my own experience

families. In one there was but a sin.
gle family of five cubs and one old ami.
NAL, undoubtedly the mother: in the
other case there were ten or twelve
cubs and two old females which ap-
p%arently shared the burrow or cave,
though living in separate pockets. In
neither cas- was any full grown male
coyote found in the neighborhoOd; as
regards these particular litters, the
father seemingly had nothing to do
with taking are Of or supporting the
family. | am not able to say whether
this was accidental or whether it is
a rule that only the mother lives with
and takes care of the litter; | have
heard contrary statements about the
matter from hunters who should know.

WIZARD OF THE
PLANT WORLD

An interesting analysis OF the prin-
ciples that have underlain the seem
ingly magical changes W rought in
the plant world by Luther Burbank,
wha has recently attracted particular
attention by his development Of j
~spineless cactus, Is made In the cur
rent issue of the Cosmopolitan by Gar
rett p. Serviss. "The Burbank ex-
periments,' says Mr.. Serviss. prove
that the plant world is plastic to
human touch, and that we may shape
it at will, and the only marvel is that
man should have been so slow in re-
alizing that he held a master hand
in the game Of evolution" The writer
touches briefly In passing on some Of
the achievements that have given Mr..
Burbank his reputation as the wizard
of the world Of plants, and by which
Mr.. Serviss declares he has done more
to change the forms Of plant life than
all the farmers, gardeners, h0rticul-
turists, florists and savants since the
beginning Of history. He refers es-
pecially to the famous white black
berry," to the plum-cot, recently
brought to perfection, and to the new
species of walnuts, and Ne shows
how the results have been brought
about mainly by the application Of the
principles Of cross.fertilization and se.
lection.
The old idea Of fixed species nj
longer obtains, but the Darwinian
theory that change can be effected
only as a result Of long ages Of de-
velopment has been exploded by this
investigator, who holds a rank in the
realm Of practical botany similar to
that OF Edison in the field Of cleo
tricity. He has not only succeeded In
producing varieties Of fruits, flowers
and trees-which has been done by
hundreds Of his predecessors-but he
has succeeded In p~erfecting species
that differ SO entirely from their plant
ancestors as to deserve the title
I"new." He has not only made a
broader application Of the science Of
tree and plant and vegetable culture
than any of his predecessors. but,
like Edison. has combined and oorrel-
ated the intimate knowledge Of nat
ural forces acquired in his investiga-
tious; Rnd nature has made such ready
response to his advances that his
achievements have seemed but little
| short of marvellous.
Mr.. Serviss suggests the secret Of
Mr.. Burbank's success when he says
that he is not afraid to use his imagin.
alton. although he never loses the dis
tinction between what Is imaginative
and what Is real. He might be called
a plant psychologist, SO intimate mas
become his acquaintance with the mo
tives underlying plant action. Mr..
Serviss shows that many Of his ex-
periments have been based upon the
fact that the kingdom Of plants has
stored up innumerable Impressions de-
! rived from its exchanging environ

ments. These impressions have pro
duced hereditary tendencies which at
any time may be re-awakened, and
which show their impress in the So
called sports which occasionally
make their appearance on plants
which in all other respects d~iscreetly
conform TO the habits and traits of
their nearest of kin. Under ordinary
circumstances, a sport" has but little
chance, but, given favorable surround
ings and intelligent watchfulness.

are the new %walnuts. both OF which

But while the n is noted for the
rapidity Of its growth and also for the
hardness Of Its wood, the other, while
not SO wonderful for its timber, is
especially remarkable as a food pro-
Queer. Mr.. Burbank is said to be a
philosopher. and at heart a poet. but,
for lack of time, not a writer. In work
such as his the words count for very
little, while the deeds count for q
great deal.
