"A UNIVERSE ALL ALIVE.
Greed of Man Who Gives His Life
to the Study Of Plant
Creation.

1 asked Mr.. Burbank this question,
writes William s. HARDWOOD, in "A Won
Worker of Science" in Century:
HAS anything developed in your
life work, and in your study Of the great
elemental forces of nature, to imperil
true faith or render dead belief in God
or the Immortality of the soul?"
He answered:
my theory of the laws and underlying
principles of plant creation is, In many
respects, Numerically opposed to the
theories of the materialists. | am a sin
cere believer in higher power than that
of man., All my Investigations have led
me away from the idea Of a dead,
material universe, tossed about by vari-
Gus forces, to that Of universe which
is absolutely all force, life, soul. thought,
or whatever name we may choose to call
1t. Every atom. molecule, plant. animal,
or planet Is only an aggregation of or
ganized unit forces held in place by
stronger forces, thus holding them for
q time latent, though teeming with in
conceivable power. All life on our
planet is, SO to speak, Just on the outer
fringe Of this Infinite ocean OF force.

r HE photographer smiled, for bust
ness had been dull that day, but
his Joy at the arrival Of customer
was tempered by the fact that the Gus
toner carried baby and was accom-
panied by her mother and large trav-
cling bag besides. After a preliminary
discussion of the styles Of photographs,
which occupied ten or fifteen minutes,
the young mother delicately raised some
of the wrappings from her infants face
and peeped In at him. "B'ess his darling
little heart!" she exclaimed. If he
isn't sound asleep!"
Her own mother looked over her
shoulder. "The ANGEL" she said.
TT seems pity to wake him up,
doesn't it? Look at the little fist all
doubled up"
Its bad, bad shame!" said the
elder lady. "Ze p'cious little fist!"
Suppose we don't wake him." sug-
gested the photographer, a CLEAN OF
hope in his eye. There's nothing looks
prettier than sleeping baby, and il we
just propped him up on those cushions
i could get good picture of him."
"That would be sweet, wouldn't it,"
said the mother. But can't have more
than a dozen now. Would 1t cost any
thing extra to have him taken asleep
and then awake?"
''Seventy-five cents extra for the ex-
ira pose" replied the photographer.
but thought perhaps you might pre-
fer simply to have him taken asleep. 1t
certainly does seem o shame to wake
him"
Good gracious!" said the grand
mother We've got to wake him, Of
course. Why, you couldn't see his
eyes"
"Of course, we must wake him."
agreed the mother. But don't you
think it would be nice, mamma, to have
some pictures of him asleep?"

to go to the extra expense, but you

rending scenes, but | never saw any

digging down for that $43. The doc

dad, but this seemed to be an overdose,
and was afraid he would collapse, and

to stimulate him, but he told me could
go plumb, and IL spoke to him again

out of his pistol pocket, and then talked
