ABOUT BURBANK.
What He Has and What He Has Not
Done.


In this period Of rapidly changing
conceptions and steadily broadening
interests it Is unsafe for man to
publish his personal views concerning
such parts of the new combined
science as lie beyond his own expe-
rience. OF course he must have some
conception Of the results and theoret-
ical ideas in the different departments,
and the better he develops it the more
it will aid him in his own work. But
whenever publication Is not absolute
ly necessary in order to show the con-
cordance of all our biological knowl-
edge with some newly discovered
principle, such conceptions must be
considered as of personal value only;
otherwise their publication may cas-
lily lead to a false appreciation Of a
mans real merits.
In some magazine articles and pop
ular books, the authors. needless of
these principles, have given rise to
much misunderstanding Of the merits
of Burbank by a certain amount of
effusiveness and unconscious exag-
gerating. In many Of these cases II
Is evident to the scientific readers that
the author was not scientist himself,
and it remains an open question
whether the incorrect and sometimes
absurd statements must be imputed
to the author Of the article or to Bur-
bank. The main impression, however
has not been favorable to Burbank,
especially among eastern and Euro
pean readers. More than once, in per-
| Sonal cCnveI sat.on, I noticed a cer-
tain doubt as to the validity Of Bur-
banks scientific ideas, and even as to
his right Of giving an opinion on
scientific discoveries. 1t became ap-
parent to me that much injury
lad been done to the reputation
Of a man who has contributed largely
| to the wealth Of his nation and other
| countries, and who has in his life
time rediscovered and introduced In
to American horticulture many Of the
leading principles Of plant breeding
| which, though known in Europe, were
as yet unsuspected in America.
In some cases direct statements have
been made which have lessened the ap-
probation Of Burbank's merits by sci
entific readers, precisely by the en-
deavor to give to his work scientific
significance, which in reality 1t has
not. It has been contended, for in
stance, that Burbank overthrew the
Mendelian laws; that he opposes the
theory Of mutation; that he has proved
the inheritance Of acquired charac-
ters, and assumes that natural species
originate by means Of crossing. Ev'
erybody knows, however, that he is
not engaged in special scientific inves'
| legations concerning these points, and
1t is only natural that the conclusion
has been drawn that he has no right
to pledge his great name in favor oi
the opinions he is reported to defend

MAKING RESTITUT1oN.-TWo years

Mr.. Perkins belated restitution af.
fects neither the morality nor the le-
gality of the original transaction. Mr.
Jerome is still free to present all the
facts in the case to a grand jury ano
ask for an indictment for grand lar.

with the uniform practice Of the New
York insurance companies in refusing
to accept restitution from employees
in such cases.
By returning the money Mr.. Perkins
is no longer liable for a civil action
But the criminal aspects of the case
are exactly as they were before Mr.
Jerome instituted proceedings before

which did not present the facts of the

CHAR Bands.

"If there is a man in the world who
does not deserve to be buried in con-
secrated ground he Is the fellow who
devised the scheme Of putting paper
bands on cigars" said an old smoker
to a Star reporter the other day. 1.-THE
banded cigar is a nuisance to the man
who buys a cigar for its quality and
not for the looks Of It, The band does
not cost much, it is true, but to- the
factories turning out cigars by the
thousands of boxes 1t must constitute
an appreciable item. 1t does not i'm
prove the cigar. Nobody except the
rankest snob would smoke a cigar
with the band on, and even he would
have to take the band off when the
fire got down to it, And further, slip
ping the band off ruins the wrapper OF
more cigars than does anything else
If you cut the band to save spelling
the wrapper, 1t is an unnecessary trou-
BILE, and the chances are that at the
moment you do not have knife or
pin or a toothpick or anything else
that will answer the purpose.
LAS 1 say, the cigar band Is sign
of snobbery. The best cigars that were
turned out Of Havana used to be those
made for a European sovereign. They
were made of especially selected to-
bacco and put up in locked boxes, in
cidentally they cost from rs cents to
81 each. But they never had band
on them. They were the real thing
and did not need it. "A good wine
needs no bush, you will recollect. Then
some one originated the scheme OF
putting bands on expensive cigars. The
cigars were wrapped in oil paper and
tinfoil. The band was put on partly as
an additional ornament to the wrapper
and partly from utilitarian motives, to
keep the wrapper in place. But the
scheme struck the fancy Of the dealers
and spread like wildfire. Bands were
put on unwrapped cigars and were
supposed to be mark Of distinction,
and now it has gotten to the point
where If you are poor and have to pa
tronize a five-cent smoke, you get
your band and mucilage and broken
charge; but 1 strongly suspect at the
expense of the quality Of the cigar

THE JUST JUDGE.-Recently, during
the process of impaneling a jury for
the circuit court in the District Of Co
lumbia, one of the talesman requested
the court to excuse him from service;
he offered many excuses, but the chief
one was the fact that he was deaf.
Very gently Chief Justice Bingham,
who was on the bench, asked the tales
man If he could hear what he, Judge
Bingham, was saying.
"Oh. yes. sir" replied the reluctant
but truthful citizen.
How then, pray, does your aft1iction
affect you?" queried his honor.
We'll, Judge" answered the man,
after a moments thought, II can't

Bingham, smilingly. Il suppose we
must excuse you, for it is plain that
