Started With Ten Potatoes and Nc Money-Remarkable Work With
 Young Prune Trees.

In 1885 Burbank came to California. He sold all but ten of his stock of potatoes for $125. He finally reached Santa Rosa with less than q dollar in hts pocket, but with the precious ten potatoes. Here, after years of strug- gle, he finally secured a few acres of land for nursery and for experi- mental work in plant breeding.
 Just one incident of those days will illustrate his persistency and resource fitness. A fruit grower wanted 2.OOO young prune trees to be delivered within ten months. None were In the market and the nurserymen all said 1t was Impossible to produce them in so short a time. Not so Burbank. He promptly accepted the order. AS the season was far advanced. he planted almonds in sand, supplied them with just the right moisture and kept them covered with cloth to maintain an even temperature. As the tiny sprouts ap- peared they were transplanted in the nursery.
 He then secured from nearby prune orchards thousands of prune buds and as soon as the small almond buds were old enough the prune buds were budded into them. In less than seven months the order was filled and the seemingly impossible had been accom- plished.--Arthur H. Chamberlain in Thrift Magazine.

MOST DANGEROUS WHEN HURT
orano- outano, When Wounded, 10 Be- yond Any of the Ordinary
 Feelings of Fear.

Fighting full-grown Orang -outang with weapons as primitive as the na- tive blow pipe is extremely hazardous work, and the natives of Borneo avoid 1t except when beast becomes a menace to the village. An orang. eutang in battle is ferocious. It will bite its arms. tearing the flesh away and infiicting frightful wounds. If there are two of the animals, they bite and hug each other
 An orang-outang that has been struck by an arrow can follow the native in the trees or on the ground while the poison is taking effect. The only refuge from the frenzied creature Is the smoke of a fire, and. when 1t Is sufficiently eDraged, even that will not stop 1t. The best chance lies in keep ing 1t so harried that 1t does not know whom to attack; once 1t decides on a particular native, the native is as good as dead.
 When the poison begins to work, after an animal has beer wounded the natives end the fight with knives The possibility of an orang- outang is a danger that all the men must be prepared to face, and the duty of engaging in an OraDg- -outang hunt is no less important than that of making war.-Charles Mayer in Asia.

Earth 10 Slowing Down.

Happily for our convenience, the process Is extremely slow. but all the same the fact is that the days are setting longer.
 This does not refer to hours or daylight increasing with the advancing year. but to days as timed by the revolution of the earth on It's axis.
 The earths power of rotation, says writer in the Popular Science Monthly. is growing weaker and as a result It's revolution on it's axis Is slowing up. Which means, of course, that the day Is lengthening.
 An epoch must eventually arrive when the day will be equal in length to the year; that Is. to the time 1t takes for us to revolve about the sun. Then the earth will always turn the same face toward the solar luminary, just as the moon now always turns the same face toward us. and one-half of our planet will have sunshine all the year, while the other half Is in total and permanent darkness.
 That Is, if the sun still Is shining. It may become a dim and chilly orb before then.
