II there's one thing more than any

occasion TO go through cemetery, he
says, he gets the "willes,' and it takes
him n whole week to recover.
Ordinarily, he's brave man. The
things that he does to roses, and lilacs,
and holyhoCks, and Eucalyptus trees,
without so much as a "by your leave" is
proof of this. But the cemeteries get his

ITS horrible. barbaroUs. Funeral de

color and taste that Rome and Greece
might have been proud of, and no flow

The professor has not vet fashioned
funeral design to meet his conception OF
the requirements of good taste. but he Is
giving the matter grave consideration
and it Is safe to prophesy that before
long our cemeteries win be models for the
world to copy.
In the meantime his little cottage on the

his grandmother. Mrs. Clotilda F. Cohen,
S5 years old and then shot himself at
his home 334 South 21st street, March

tate valued at $500 to his father. Charles
j. Cohen, president OF the Chamber of
Commerce The will was offered for pro-
bate today.
The WILL which was dated March 30 and
written in ink, didn't bear the names of
any witnesses. II was made out on a
sheet of paper evidently torn cut Of a
note book. The entire testament covers
less than 20 words. Besides bequeathing
Isis estate to his father he names him as
executor and requests that he should per-
form his duties without the filing of a
bond.
On the top of the paper the date of
March 49, which was the day before the
tragedy. appears Then the following

made up to murder his grandmother
whom he idolized in order to save her
from suffering and also TO end his life.
Cohen was 80 years old. He killed his

But it's all in the interest OF science.
Referring TO himself variously as big
beaned, high-browed recluse" and "bit
or mud flung from the wheel of journal

hours communng with William James
and Lombroso in an effort to solve the
problem OF harmoniZing the flower world
and eventually making things grow

THE trouble with most of U.S." said the
professor dogmatically, Juggling vigor-
ously at his vivid red tie, lis that we
spend our lives running around on the
rim of a penny when we might be going
it on a silver dollar. If we think big and
act big. we grow big.

l!eve with BerGson that everything is

Because of this belief the planter

for some of the benzoI he is now manu-

as the juice distilled by the eucalyptus

100 feet iu height, and II is walters
theory that " this same liquid is APP

While waiting for the giant trees to
develop, the professor has grated lilacs
on to his privet hedge; has caused the
first German double hollyhock in the
world to grow from slips; Is making
rose and lilac bush, pine and an apple
tree live amicably together in one COM
mon box. The rest of his time is devoted
70 pondering over the problem of whether
a rose has intellectual perception or only
intuitional instincts. whether they are
capable of the grande passion or can only
love in a weak Intellectual way.
When he finds out, he's going to write
a book about it, the Professor, Mean
