AN APPLE MARVEL.
Burbank, The California Wizard,
Produces 2O8 Varieties On One
Tree By Grating.

Luther Burbank, the California
wizard, has taken advantage of an
old apple tree in his recent expert
ments and frightened it out of all
semblance to its former habits
through the trick he has played
upon it.
At the Board of Trade rooms in
Los Angles, CAL, are ON exhibition
POS varieties Of APPLES grown on
this ola tree. This is how the
wizard accomplished the wonder =
He took few apples from a Ger.
tain tree and planted all the seeds
of those apples. The seeds pro
duced saplings in course of time,
and these Burbank grated on the
very tree which had produced them
as seed. The 2O8 varieties of
apples were the result.
And there is. surely variety
among them. They run from
apples the size of quail egg v.
apples as large as pumpkins-that
is, young pumpkins. Some are
red, others green. Still others are
pink and striped and slotched.
One would think, judging by their
appearance, that they had grown in
20S different parts of the world.
Burbank has promised the Cali
iornia State Board of Trade that he
will give the material for an ex-
hibition of his productions that
cannot be duplicated in the world
His latest and greatest production,
as estimated by himself-the spine
less cactus-has been on exhibition
at the State Board of Trade rooms
and has attracted hundreds of Wis
itor every day.

Clean chopstieks Sure.

Seeing these quill toothpicks done
up in paper envelopes in the hotels
here" said the man from the far east
reminds me of the Japanese eating
places. In the bigger hotels or restau-
rants they hand you the chopsticks
done up in sealed envelope. This is
with the idea Of convincing you that
they never have been used before,
which is not always so. In the cheap
err restaurants they have a much bet
ter plan for setting your mind at rest.
There you get piece Of wood as
broad as two chopsticks split to with
In an inch>of one end. When you take
this piece Of wood you split it the rest
Of the way, and there you have the
two sticks. You can be sure then that
no other person has used them."-New
York Sun.

HOW THE MOON LOOKS.
Queer Variance In Impressions as to
the Same Object.

Queer Variance In Impressions as to
the Same Object.
l asked my men to compare the size
of the full moon to that of some OBJ
ject held in the hand at arms length.
explained the question carefully and
said that they were to describe an
object just large enough when seen at
arms length to cover the whole moon.
My list of answers begins as follows:
Quarter Of a dollar, fair sized canta-
loupe; at the horizon, large dinner
plate; overhead, dessert plate; my
watch, six inches In diameter, silver
dollar, hundred times as large as my
watch, mans head, fifty cent piece,
nine inches in diameter, grape fruit,
carriage wheel, butter plate, orange,
ten feet, two inches, one cent piece,
schoolroom clock, pea, soup plate,
fountain pen, lemon pie, palm Of the
hand, three feet in diameter-enough
to show again the overwhelming man
ifoldness Of the impressions received.
To the surprise Of my readers per-
haps 1t may be added at once that the
only man who was right was the one
who compared it to a pea. 1t is most
probable that the results would not
have been different If l had asked the
question on moonlight night with the
full moon overhead. The substitution
Of the memory image for the immedi-
ate perception can hardly have i'm
paired the correctness Of the judg-
ments. If in any court the size Of a
distant object were to be given by
witnesses, and one man declared 1t as
large as a pea and the second as large
as lemon pie and the third ten feet
in diameter it would hardly be fair to
form an objective judgment till the
psychologist had found out what kind
of a mind was producing that esti-
mate. - Professor Hugo Munsterberg
in McClure's.

In order to raise fund to fight the issue
the Association has levied a tax on each

GIBSON WORK.
How Foundations of Great Steel
Structures Are Built.

How Foundations of Great Steel
Structures Are Built.
The foundations for the great steel
structures are built by means Of CATS
sons In which the men can work under
a great pressure Of air. 1t is very
interesting sight to watch them, and
the best of it is that any one may see
them at close range from an adjoining
sidewalk. The caisson is a hollow steel
cylinder open at the bottom and just
large enough to permit man to work.
The workman climbs down ladder in
this tube and digs away the earth at
the bottom. AS the earth is taken
away the steel tube is gradually low
cred. The earth Is taken out by q
bucket. which Is lowered and raised by
q tall derrick at one side. AS the
caisson sinks, air Is pumped into the
compartment containing the man. This
Is to force back any water or dirt that
might fill the hole from the outside as
fast as the workman removes 1t from
within. The pressure of this afr is Of
ten so great that man can work but
an hour or SO at time At the top
of the caisson is a steel cylinder with
an air tight door at either end. which
serves as a kind Of vestibule to the
tube below.
When one Of the caisson workers
starts to go to work he opens the door
or lid at the top and climbs in, when
the opening Is once more tightly clos
ed. This door or lid Is air tight. Aft
err the opening to the outer air has
been closed the workman opens the
door at the bottom of this steel COM
partment and lets in compressed air
from the caisson below. 1t takes a
few minutes to become accustomed to
breathing this atmosphere, for the
heavy air makes the head ring. AS
soon as the workman can do SO he
climbs down into the funnel below,
closing the lower door Of the steel
anteroom as he does so. All this must
be done In the dark. If the workman
wishes to signal the outer world he
may. do so by striking The steel sides
of his narrow prison with his shovel.
He usually signals in this way when
the bucket is to be raised or lowered

One of the other suggestions that has
been made is by Senator Hansborough OF
North Dakota. He says that he intends
to introduce bill as soon as Congress
assemblies providing, for central bank of
issue located somewhere in the middle
west, in St. Louis or Chicago. This bank
would be allowed to issue noie circulation
on the security of government bonds or
other approved security in proportion to
the needs of the various sections of the
country. The circulation would be with
drawn when not actually needed.

Speaker Canon has arrived in Wash
iugton, younger apparently than ever
and fully alive to the financial situation.
But he professed to be in no hurry for
currency action. He intimates that he
will be pleased to allow such action when
the House decides on it, but says that the
panic is already passing and that it will
be better to wait till the pinch is entirely
over and then legisate at leisure instead
of attempting to hustle through some sort
of legislation without due consideration.
This suggestion is we'll enough in
theory, but the country has passed
through good many periods of panic
and depression before, and there has been
ample time between whites for currency
legislation; but it has always been talked
TO death and no action taken. 1t seems
rather the case of the man with the leaky
roof: when it was raining, he couldn't
fix it, and when it was not raining, he
did not need tt.
