Blackberry Minus Thorn.

Santa Rosa, Cal.-Luther Burbank
has developed a blackberry that is
minus the thorns. Burbank has been
at work for 10 years on this plant and
as a result he has secured a bush
which has banrches as smooth and
free from thorns as cherry tree.
Several semi thornless blackberries
have been brought out by other exper-
imenters, but this Burbank berry is
said to be the first that is really free
from thorns. The plant wizard has
many specimens Of the, new plant
growing in his big garden here.

Pasadena In flying machine that
held together only through the good
will of Providence. Calbraith P. Rod
gers, the transcontinental aviator,
glimpsed the Pacific ocean Saturday.
as he scared over the gray top of
Mount Wilson and settled down in
Tournament Park, amidst clamorous
multitude, waiting to welcome him at
what was virtually the finish Of his
flight from Sheepshead Bay. N. Y.
Rodgers landed at 4:10 o'clock in the
afternoon.
Rodgers appeared on the sky line
shortly after o'clock, q few moments
after he had risen at Pomona, 20
miles away. He was sighted first by
telescopes levelled at him from the
solar observatory on Mount Wilson,
and word flashed down the mountain
by telephone caused swarming of
20, 900 people to Tournament Park.
The aviator, flying at height of
s, 200 feet, lowered over the city for a
few minutes, then warping the planes
that previously had been as motionless
as the spreading pinions of a soaring
eagle, he sailed in wide spiral and
volplaned down to the greensward in
the middle of the park.
Rodgers literally was mobbed. He
was borne hither and thither by the
surging crowd. Eager hands clutched
and scratched him, but his leather
clothing was strong enough to resist
attack, although afterwards the aviA-
tor declared his ribs would surely
manifest black and blue marks Of an
over-enthusiastic greeting.
Rodgers started on the last dash Of
his fight from Banning, little town
out in the desert, where his arrival
had interrupted the only diversion of
the year-the funeral dance of the
Mojave Indians. The aviator saw q
squaw, 1O1 years old, who had danced
all night and day, fall in swoon.
Then he took the air at noon.

Wheat Holder Lets Go.

Chicago-A. J. Lichstern, who is
credited with being one of the largest
holders Of cash wheat in the United
States, has sold lO0,O bushels of
No. red winter wheat to millers at
sic under the May option. These are
his own terms after having refused a
remarkable offer from the millers for
s, 600, 900 bushels. It also was an
nounced that within the last week he
had disposed Of 1900, 900 bushels at
his own terms. The 5000, 000- bushel
bid was probably the largest ever made
for q single transaction in wheat.

Of Manchus.


of Manchus.
Shanghai-The central machine of
the revolutionary government does not
trust the throne, nor does it agree
with the thrones terms. It is, there
fore, proceeding to arrange to control
the nations affairs in expectation of
the success which it regards as certain.
The retirement of the machine dynasty
will be demanded.
The official list drawn up includes
DR.. WI Ting Fang, at one time minis
ter at Washington, who has accepted
the post of secretary of foreign af-
fairs; Wen Tsong Yao, at one time
Chinese resident in Thibet, to whom
the post of under secretary has been
offered; Ehr Tang, at one time direc-
/ tor of the American council of Canton,
who has accepted the military cover
norship of Che Kiang and Kiang Su
provinces; Ii Ping Shut, head of the
Shanghai gentry, who has accepted the
civil governorship Of those provinces,
and Yu va Ching, leading merchant,
who has accepted the mayoraIty of
Shanghai.
The Chinese chamber Of commerce
has declared for the rebels and urged
the consular body to prevent the i'm
perial fleet from entering >the Whang
Pc river. The populace fear repeti-
tion Of the Hankow brutalities.
Perfect order was maintained in
Shanghai and the outlying districts
the first night after the capitulation
of the city to the revoldtionists.
Ii Ping Shut, responsible head Of
the new administration in the native
city and suburbs, is completing his
Organization. He informed the cor
respondent that he recognized only the
republic and would guarantee order.
The only disorderly clements now in
China, he said, are the ex-officials,
their supporters and the Manchu
troops, who never again would be per-
mitted to control.
There is reason to believe that the
revolutionary sentiment throughout
the South strongly favors the uncon-
ditional abdication Of the emperor and
the establishment of an entirely new
regime.
