LUTHER BURBANK'S WONDER CAREER

The resoureefulneSs of Luther Burbank was the marvel Of tho world. He was called q plant wiz ard;" in reality he was a plant genius, From the timo when. as n New England farm boy, he startled the neighbors with his animal pumpkins" 10 his marvellous con- captions in California, his career was one to klndlo the imagination Of the world.
 Genius is not only the infinite capacity for taking pains, but re- quires infinite capacity. This Bur bank had in generous quantities. Tho bri)ianco Of his mind in con- ceiving the possibilities of "cross- ing" plants and producing new varieties was a source Of unstint- cd admiration, as well it might bo. But in addition 10 having a mind that could conceive tho elimination Of inherited characteristics in plants by cross-hreedng and the selection from different forms Of the same species to produce an en- tircly new variety, he also pos pcssed the infinite pains and skill 10 execute his conceptions In this he stood supreme. There has never been a plant genius like him, and with his passing there is none to take his place.
 The ptless prune, the edible cac- tus the elimination of thorns from this species until he achieved a spineess cactus which would furnish animal food In the desert. --were among his notable triumphs In experimenting with gladiolus blossoms 1t is said he raised moro than a million such blossoms in order 10 obtain the varieties he de. sired; and in perfecting the plum cot it is said he produced 10000 ss-fertilizations of the plum and apricot before the experiment was successful. His experiments with the cactus required patient effort for sixteen years.
 Then there was the achievement to lend perfume to plants, like tho dahia and verbcna. which lacked perfume. And the Burbank rose and the Shasta daisy-both famous for their magnificent beauty. Tho list Of botanical achievements credited 10 Burbank In the books will be fitting monument for all time.

 Fundamentally this is the per- sonal business Of the divorced mil lionaire. II is not the rublic's bus- ncss. Yet when such q marriage takes place the public cannot help taking more than due notice and wondering about it. Every man Of about the same age will In imagi- nation place himself in the shoes of tho millionaire; every girl will have cause 10 wonder whether after all, it is not better 10 be an 1 old mans darling than a young mans slave, as the saying goes, Most young girls will not envy Frances Uccnan, now Mrs. Brown ing.

SENTENCED TO DIE AT IS

It may or may not have been noted that Herbert Koerbcr, IS, of New York, the "cakceater" slayer of a restaurant owner, had a past that ought to furnish 0 moral 10 anyone having the raising of the newer generation at heart.
 Ten years ago his father dcsort- cd his family. Ills mother did the best she could to raise her boy, and seems 10 have held him in check. But when the mother died recently the home tics suddenly loosened, and the youth. instead of being in mourning over tho passing Of his parent, became entirely ir- responsible.
 Bad companions, with head quarters In a Harlem negro caba- ret, drink everything 10 pull down quickly came his way. While under the spell of these inn proprieties the youth took part in foray against the restaurant keeper and after q short trial the electric chair beckOns.
 The police are quick to aycngo such q crime after it is com mittcd, But what of the conditions that led up 10 the going-wrong Of this promising lad? The New York gangs arc not seriously molcstcd as they hang about tho street cor ners, the cabarets and tho dons of iniquity. The conditions breeding such acts of violence remain,

TROLLEY STOPS IN pLAINVILLE

PlaInvillc is confronted with one of the common complaints Of municipalities in this modern day where 10 put trolley cars, which at present are parked in the cen- ter of the main street at ten-min- ute intervals all day and part of lhe night.
 Plainvllle's troubles are of q double. .harreled nature in this re- spoct, there fing two trolley com nanies, eachNusing the center Of highway as parking space, or a terminal: The Connecticut company on one side of the railroad track and the Bristol & Plainville tram way on the other side, The cars of 10th companies interfere with the Tree flow Of automobile traffic and have the tendency 10 endanger fraffc.
 At this time it is a little difficult 0 solve the situation. which could most easily have been done at the lime the electric lines were built The point is the lines should have been compelled 10 have their own terminals throughout the towns of Connecticut, as is done in very many cities. There never was q sound reason why an electric line, any more than a steam railway line. should have been permitted to utilize the highway in the center Of town for terminal purposes. When trolley cars are scheduled to wait at the end of a line, the wait ing should be done i1 termi- nal: and tho same holds good for busscs. It was q mistaken idea to permit the trolley companies 10 be- sin operation with as little outlay as possible which brought about parking cars in the center Of the main highways in communities. The people of the various towns were so glad 10 get the electric car service that they didn't pay the slightest attention to such minor details. Now all the available land for terminals is occupied, in most instances, and the problem is greatly intensified
