CACTUS WITHOUT THoRNs.
Development by Luther Burbank
Placed on Exhibition.

The National Museum has received and
placed on temporary exhibition just OFF
the south hall a specimen leaf of a
thorniess cactus developed by Luther Bur-
oaak OF California. The perfecting of a
cactus without thorns means the provid-
ing of valuable forage plant which will
grow as well in arid as in moist regions.
The fattened stem of this novel growth,
often enormously called leaf is in
some of the best specimens nearly three
feet long, a foot wide, and three inches
thick, and Its surface Is very similar to
that of a watermelon.
According to the theory of the grower.
this species of cactus at one time lacked
thorns, but nature. in developing the
plant, provided spines as protection
from browsing animals of the plains on
which it flourished The task of turning
backward this course of nature seems to
have been accomplished in the production
of a thornless cactus.

and also the amount handled for the various
government departments throughout the coun-
try be carefully noted. I'VE are going to ascer-
tain where our deficit lies" said Mr.. Meyer.
land see if we cannot decrease it"
Mr.. Meyer then discussed the probable i'm
provements for New York City He hoped to
increase the sea postal service by adding more
clerks upon the ships already carrying them,
and also to have men placed on the lines not
now employing them The arrival of the for
eign mail already sorted was of material advan-
tage to the New York merchants, Mr. Meyer ex-
planned.
An estimate had already been made looking
toward the establishment of a late o'clock
mail delivery in sections of New York in which
it would be needed. 1t had been found that 62S
additional letter carriers would be needed Mr.
Meyer said. and if possible he intended that
New York should have them The Postmaster
General said that he anxious to see as per-
feet a service in New York as in London or
Berlin where a letter could be mailed in the
morning and an answer received by evening.
There was no reason. he thought. why this
could not be had in New York, with the addi-
tional o'clock delivery.
Mr.. Meyer added that he thought the pneu-
matte tube service would be completed within
offices on both East and West sides of this city.
This would also greatly facilitate the quick dis
patch of mail in Manhattan.
The Postmaster General waited at the post
office until Acting Postmaster Morgan returned
from Oyster Bay with his appointment as post
master The two had brief conference Mr..
Meyer will return 70 Washington to-day.
New-York tribune., 1907-08-15

MT Meyer displayed especial interest in the
future Of the rural delivery. He said that the
cfi'icIsm against it was i'll advised. and that
instead of its being an expense to the system
statistics showed that il was a money maker
In 1896, when it wos established said the Post
master General. the government expended only
Si3ou on it. The service then only an
experiment. During the same year the entire
postal deficit was SS,0G0oo0 The rural system
was greatly increased in the following ten years,
and in 1906 there expended on it S25,OO0.-
Vco but the deficit for the entire postal system
had increased only 100000
The cost of the delivery has increased and il is
expected that this year S35Oo0O00 will be ex-
pended il. But the returns for the quarter
ended March 1 show no deficit, and Mr. Meyer
expressed the opinion that the general deficit for
the year would show marked decrease.
The details of the proposed parcels post sys-
tem Mr.. Meyer said. he had not as yet worked
out 1t will probably be limited to eight or ten
pounds. This system, it was said. would not be
run in opposition to the express companies but
would be established simply to meet general
demand from the public
Stamp vending machines also will be intro
duced. similar TO those in use in Germany
These machines. which. it is expected, will in
hotels and public places. The first will be
placed in Washington and New York
The Postmaster General announced that he
would recommend a reduction of foreign postage
rates. He believes the reduction to a two-cent
rate from the present five cent charge to such
countries are in direct steamship connection
with the United States would greatly increase
the revenues.
As an illustration of the many contemplated
