TUTHER BURBANK has rival in con-
Instructive eugenics, IL It may be so called.
His name is George White and he lives In
Eaton, O., which will now become famous
as the home of the scratches chicken, for
that is the type being evolved by White
through process of elimination and eugenics
as applied to poultry. White bred and cross
bred chickens until he produced a big white
fowl. with legs fit only for the tiniest of
bantams. He asserts that his new breed
cannot dig up neighbors garden and is not
so apt to stray from its own flresidc, because
its legs only reach the ground" In addition,
the new breed, being more sedate, is of
lesser temperamental mentality and prac-
tically devoid OF all neurasthenic symptoms.
He says nothing of its capacity for laying
eggs, however.

way to fulfil the alleged last will of Peter
the Great. This will, the object of 100 years
Of controversy, is said to rest in the archives
Of Petrograd, but so far as is known, no
modern eye has ever been laid on the orig
inal copy Of this mystic document. Accord
ing to Frederic Gaillardct a friend of the
elder Dumas, the will contained 10 clauses.
Peter asserted that in order to become great
Russia must always be al war with Europe;
jntermarriages with Germany are to be fos-
tered; Poland is TO be divided; Sweden and
Denmark melted to discord: encroachment
is 10 be made along the Black and Baltic
Seas; Austria is to be used as an ally against
Turkey and then defrauded OF its gain and
plunged into defensive wars against other
European States, and Russia made dominant
by policy of playing one State against
another.
