NEW PLANT CREATIONS.

Luther Burbank Produces Four Won
derfuI Flowers and Sweet Squash.
Five new creations in plant life, the
prepared for the market and will be
commonly grown within a year, says a
San Francisco dispatch. The new
plants are listed in a catalogue recent
ly issued by Burbank. The first and
most wonderful is the improved Aus
tralian star flower. The variety just
perfected by Burbank is of unusual
beauty and color and is of the nature
of old fashioned everlasting flowers.
The Shirley poppy, new variety of
which has been called the Santa Rosa
strain by Burbank, Is an enlargement
of the regular cultivated poppy which
is commonly grown in California gar
dens. 1t is larger and more beautiful
than anything that has ever been Of
fered, and the colorS particularly are
blended in new manner. The Cali
fornia wind poppy is another variety
of the common cultivated poppy, diff
fering slightly from the Shirley poppy.
The Heuchera christata is new To-
liage plant, which is considered by
Burbank one of the most wonderful Of
his creations. 1t has large leaves OF
peculiar shape and brilliancy and is
one of the most striking foliage plants
known.
The Patagonia vegetable squash is
variety of garden vegetable which has
been imported from Chile by Burbank
and greatly improved. 1t is an apple
shaped squash, very sweet to the taste
and is expected to be a favorite garden

To be suddenly taken from the bright
lights of New York to an island which
is said TO be uninhabited and to re-
main there for three months will be
the fate of Alfred ]. Klein, a young
man in the taXidermy department of
the American Museum of Natural His
tory, says the New York Press. But
despite his fate he looked pleased with
the idea the other day when he said
the temporary exile was for the sake
of science, as he Is going to collect
skins of sea elephants, kind of seal
larger than a walrus, which are said to
exist in the seas about Kerguelen is
land, on the border of the Indian and
Antarctic oceans. Klein will also shoot
birds for the museums collection and
make thorough investigation of every
species of living thing there, not eX-
cepting MOSQUITOES and flies.
He will leave New York in the early
part of September and sail from Bos-
ton on q whaler. The voyage to the is
land will take about six months. Klein
will take with him the latest camping
outfit and canned food, but he expects
to live chiefly upon what he can shoot
on the island. The captain of the
whaler has made 4 contract with the
museum authorities to take Klein to
the island and give him occasional
help on condition that the whaler can
have all the oil from the sea lions
which Klein shoots, while he Us TO take
only the skins.
DIR. L. y. Lucas, who is connected
with the Natural History museum, Is
responsible for sending the young man
out on the expedition, as he thinks
that several important discoveries can
be made on that small place. which is
thousands of miles away from any
populated part of the globe Mosqui-
toes are said to exist there, but not
the kind found in this part of the
world, as they are not equipped with
wings. There are also on the island
peculiar species of tortoise and birds
which have never yet been seen in the
museums. Although the island has
been formally annexed by the French,
it has never been explored, and it is
only through the tales Of passing fish
ermen who have been ON the island

of earth In the immense ocean is worth

Apart from the animal wealth Of
Kerguelen island there are plants Of
different varieties which have never
been taken to the civilized part of the
world. Klein will collect specimens of
every form of animal and plant. He
will prepare the skins of the animals
and birds, and the plants and flowers
will be put into formaldehyde and
glycerin to preserve, and when Klein

will be named by botanists. A va

BABY IN 100000 SUIT.
Court Paper Served by Tickling
Child In Ribs.

Court Paper Served by Tickling
Child In Ribs.
The most difficult task Deputy
Sheriff Becker ever undertook was the
serving of year old baby with papers
in suit involving the title TO property
worth 100000, says a st. Louis dis
patch.
Little Clara Frances Watson, daugh-
ter of Alfred Watson and Maud j.
Hubbs, by a secret marriage, was
found to be one of the heirs of Captain
John a Watson, who was trustee of
the property upon which loan of
100000 was made many years ago.
The loan was repaid, but Captain Wat
son died before the records were per-
fected. 4 suit was instituted to quit
title, and it fell to Becker's lot to serve
the baby.
For half an hour he tried by coax
ing and playing with the tot to induce
her to take the court paper in her
hands, but she refused. Finally in
desperation he resorted to the artifice
of tickling the baby in the ribs. When
she threw her hands above her head
and laughed, Becker deftly inserted
the paper between her arm and her
chubby little body and bowed himself

States, would. it is believed, be one of
the most valuable flowers in the world.
Even the orchids that have been found
in explorations IN Borneo do not COM
pare in the matter of colors to the Ker-
guelen beauty.
The only difficulty in getting au-
thentic information from the place has
been the fact that no sailing vessels
or steamships pass anywhere near
Kerguelen island and the cost of char
tering a ship might not be repaid by
the results, as it involves considerable
risk. The officials of the museum
heard about the whaler which leaves
In September, and a bargain was
struck to take young Klein on the next
voyage. Klein was picked out be-
cause he was one of the healthiest men
in the employ of the museum and one
of the most enthusiastic. He has
shown considerable talent in his work
scum for more than four years
Although apparently satisfied with
emulating the life of the hero of De
foes book, young Klein takes the idea
of the voyage in the most serious way,
lie mas already prepared for the long
journey by purchasing many books,
which he will study on the tedious
trip and which will help him in the
scientific research in that remote part
of the world.
One thing made him Start, and that
was the possibility of the sailing YES
sci being wrecked after he had been
left on that spot, far away from every
where, which might mean his remain
ing far longer than he wished on Ker-
guelen island. But this fact did not
lessen his enthusiasm, although it was
pointed out to Klein that he might
come far nearer to living the life of a
Robinson CrusOe than he dreamed of
while he was safe and sound in civil
lied part of the globe
The whole trip will take about eight
cen months, presuming no mishap oc-
ours to the sailing shin
