ALMOST LOST BIG DISCOVERY
: Predatory Bird Carried Off Pod Con-
tanning Precious Seed That sPro-
duced Burbank Potatoes.

Luther Burbank recently told Colo
cry of the world-famous Burbank po-
tuto, which has only recently come to
light. While Burbank WAS expert
menting With potatoes about twenty
years aeo he noticed in his patch one
plant which held one particularly
promising pod of secs. To his prac-
ticed eye these seeds and the plant
which bore them would col4t,lin the
germ Of new and excellent potato.
If he had thought it necessary he
would have put Il watchman over this
one small seed ball. AS it developed
later. the money that would have been
required for, a watchman would have
been but Il. minute drop OF silver in
the ocean of gold which this one pod
was destined to produce.
Every morning Burbank would go
to the patch TO see how the pod was
faring, and often during each day he
would look at the plant to discover
the time when the pod could I, be
picked.
One morning he went into the patch
and the pod was gone. With the help
of workmen he searched for it. Final
ly, after hunting for hours, 20 feet
away from the plant, in the midst of
other plants, the pod was found.
Il think a bird must have picked
1t off and tried to carry it away" Mr..
Burbank told the Colorado potato men.

SOUGHT WATER; STRUCK AIR
Well Disgers Did Good Job, Though
Results Were Not What They
Had Expected.

It is said that near Thompson
Falls, in Montana, there exists q
well whence issues a steady flow of
air. During the hottest days of sum-
mer, it is reported, the temperature
of this curious well never rises above
IS degrees, according to the New
York Herald.
The man owning this well has put
it to good use, for over it he has
built refrigerating house in which
to keep the food for family use.
From the well to his store he has
also laid a pipe and through this
comes the damp air Of the well. The
end of the pipe opens into refrige-
rating room of the store, SO that
this man needs no ice to keep his
perishable merchandise in the best
of condition always.
1t seems that the well is not nat
ural one; that it was dug for the
purpose of supplying water, but that
when bottom was reached instead Of
water the air came forth with con-
siderable force. In winter there is
no appreciable lowering of the tenn
perature. The result is that the
owner Of the well can use both store
rooms for taking care of goods that
otherwise would be likely to freeze,

struck by the Santa Fe train, Califor-

and IL of the occupants OF the funeral

to splipters and portions of the bodies
strewn for nearly mile from the
Lawndale Avenue grade railway cross

Ten of the victims were instantly
killed. Another died soon after being
taken to hospital. and one other
victim will not survive. Some Of the
victims Of the grewsome accident
were beheaded. The impact from the
two. heavy locomotives was SO violent
that the largest part Of the wrecked
automobile that could be found was a
rear tire.
The hearse had crossed the track
and was closely followed by the
funeral car. 1t was squarely across
the tracks when the long train, pulled
by two locomotives, roared around a
sharp curve. A third funeral car was
100 feet in the rear Of the one demol.

He heard crash, but could see moth

and hurled into snow-filled ravine,
escaping without a scrath.
