curities of the steel trust during the
depression of 10000, and the storm
of criticism hat broke forth from the
thousands OF investors in the United
States and in Europe who put their
money into these securities, had been

Some of His Accomplishments.
As an example of business capacity
of a remarkable kind, Mr.. Morgan was
almost without parallel. He was as
capable as any of the Rothschilds in
the money line, and his achievements
as an industrial organizer surpassed
any similar feats performed by other
operators in the United States or
abroad.
Among the concrete results Of Mr..
Morgan's intellectual labors were:
Reorganization of the Buffalo &

Plant Magic

BY Frederic j. Haskin.

The old song writer who called for
"a cherry without any stone" can pro-
cure it now. The fair lady who sighed
Tor roses without thorns, and The small
boy who wished for thornless black
Derry bushes, are not making unreas-
sonable demands. because these objects
are now o~btainable, They have been
brought abou through the magic-like
science of one man and are trivial
matters compared with the many
greater attainments in plant Develop
ment and production he has been able
to bring about. Whether or not Luther
Burbank is going to fulfill all of the
expectations of those who are depend
ing upon his ability to make the desert
yield a heavy addition to the food sup
ply of the world, there is no disput-
ing the wonderful things he already
has done while working quietly and
patiently upon his little experiment

No scientist ever received during his
life time more positive and gratifying
recognition of his work from the gem

the past Is years. Before that time
ms work was paved with difficulties
as great as those experienced BY most
other scientists. He suffered priva-
tons of many kinds, and aver now is
accused by some persons of being a
mere chorlatan, who, by an adept use

credit for his work. These detractors
are comparatively few, however. and
the sclentltlc men are disposed to
most of the things he claims.
While thousands of enthusiastic ad-

and giving him credit for

of the spineless cactus and its possi-
bil1ties as an addition to the food and

Burbank are convincing proof of it's
practicability. About 10 Years ago he
began to study the cactus with a view

instead of the enemy it always has
been regarded. He recognized it's good
qualities. namely, that it was hardy
n would grow Where nothing else
would in the blistering heat of the des-
ert, and that it had much nutrition
stored in it's thick leaves and golden
or crimson fruit. His first two OBJ
Jects were the removal of the sharp
thorns covering the branches, leaves

llpfous skeleton of the leaves which
made them indigestible. The cactus
selected by Burbank for his expert
ments was the Opunta species. native

breeding these away he gave nature ,
a chance to devote her energy to i'm

this IN a manner that seems absolutely |

When Erin's sons went out to war
In stirring times of old,
They had no waving battIe-fIag
To lead their heroes bold,
But with them rode a harper gray,
Who bore a harp of gold.
The army camped at fall of night
Within a dewy glade,
The harper found a messy couch
Beneath the bIackthorn's shade,
And on a bed of shamrocks green,
His harp of gold he laid.
Behold! a square of emerald silk
Next morn before him lay,
And on it, 10! his golden harp
Returned the suns first ray.
The banner ireland carries still
Upon St. Patrick's Day.
