'OTHER i3URBANK, the so-, called "plant wizard," who is now seventy years of age, 16 not so much a wizard as a woiker apparently. -W. V. Woehlke Igives the following facts about him In the American Magazine: "Fifty years ago Luther Burbank did not stand out from the masa of other New England youngster*: On the contrary, he was rather belovf the average size and not at all robust. • He worked in a plough factory for fifty centata day, clerked in a furni- ture store, and started out to study medicine. Then a long siege of ill - health, caused by a sunstroke, over- took him; and in 1875 he went to California to regain his strength, and to acquire a seed farm. He had just sold his first discovery, the Burbank potato -500,000;000 bush- els of this famous tuber have been grown so far—and the $125 he re- ceived for this plant barely enabled him to pay for his ticket*: After his recovery he found :steady employ- ment and saved the larger part of his wages that he might reach hie goal, a nursery of his own. "Hisreal chance did not come un- til the third year, and even then it was a chance to do what everyone said could not be done. An. impatient leeee` , • ikeibpe#'$f#f,'-f 481;lirta , stVele . I LUTHER BURBANK. fruit grower- was making the. rounds of the California nurseries looking for twenty thousand young prune trees to be delivered ready for plant- ing within ten months,. Not a nursery would undertake it. Such a -thing was -• considered impossible:. But .when the struggling i nursery owner of Santa Rosa heard ef the order, he went after the contract _ for the 'twenty thousand trees, and .; immediately started to produce 'them. ".'Because no other seeds would sprout so late in the season, he planted almonds in beds of - moist sand, covering them with cloth to maintain the proper moisture and. 'temperature.. As the almonds sprouted, they were removed one by one to the nursery rows. Then he ecosured the surrounding orchards for. prune. buds, • and as soon. as the young almond trees were far enoh advanced, _the, prune buds were nd- ded into them and the tops of the young trees were broken off, thus• forcing them to' make a new grow.h, Within a little more than six mon is_ young Burbank had delivered 19,025 prune trees ready for planting. He had. done the impossible." The high development of Mr. Bur - bank's Sepses, particurlarly his sense of color, is mentioned. -'by the writer, who continues:. "Through conscious and deliberate training, Mr. Bur - bank's eyes have become able to. detect 'the_minutest detail with etartling clearness. He can see at a glance whether a building is even a quarter of an inch /out of true, or whether .a wall devidtes an inch per. hundred feet from a straight line. " `There is no magic in it,' explain- ed Mr.. Burbank. 'Every person witha good nose and a good pair of eyes can reach the same sen- sitiveness by practice, patience, and concentration. Of these, concentra- tion is the most important. Long hours of labor are valueless if the mind wanders. The aiverage man rare- ly sets the- undivided force of his mind to work on a single task con- tinuously. He thinks .of the auto- mobile he is going to buy, the show' he is going to see, or the raise he thinks he •ought to have.' " They Love Their Tea. "Let's have some tea,"- says the woolly South American savage to his brethren, and they run for their tea- cups. Paraguay tea, known' as mate; is widely used in South America. In country districts the natives drink their mate through a thtiametal tube thrust into a sun -drier, gourd. A sieve inside of the metal- tube holds the tea leaves in their place.

Ants have' assumed a new role in Africa—that of enemies of aviation. Reports from surveyors of the pro - Posed air route from Rhodesia to Cape Town say that ant hills have interfered seriously with the placing of airdromes. To understand this phenomenon one must understand how ubiquitous • is the ant in South Africa. Ants are to be found everywhere, from Arctic regions to the tropic, from timber- line on the loftiest mountains to the shifting sands of the dunes and sea- shores, and from the dampest forests to the driest deserts, Not only do they outnumber in individuals Aall other terrestrial animals, 'fiut their colonies, even in very circumscribed *localities; often defy enumeration.. -One subfamily of. the ants, the Dorylinae, embracing the wonderful driver ants of Africa and the legion- ary ants of the American tropics, are highly carnivorous, but nevertheless succeed in forming immense colonies, often of hundreds of thousands of in- dividuals. This they accomplish by relinquishing the sedentary habits so characteristic of the great majority of ants. ' - They keep moving in long files through the jungles, capturing or killing all the insects they encounter, and even oveprunning dwellings; and, in their search of cockroaches and other vermin, driving out the human inhabitants. From time to time these strange ants bivouac for the night or for a few days in some hole in the 'ground, or under a tree, but soon continue their predatory march. Evi- dently they are able to remain carni- vorous, and at the same time to de- velop large colonies, only because they are nomadic and can thus draw their food supply from a large area. One of the earliest departures from an exclusively animal diet ie seen among the ants which attend plant lice, scale insects and leaf- hoppers and feed on their saccharine refuse. This waste matter is merely plant Sap slightly altered in chemical constitution by passing through the dis tive tract of the insects, and cont ining much water, some sugar and little nitrogenous matter. ants are so inordinately fond this food that they not only a quire an intimate acquaintance with the habits of the adult plant lice and scale insects, but actually collect and sfefre their eggs in the nests dur- • ing winter in order that they may during the ensuing spring distribute the hatolitng young over the roots or 'foliage of the plants. Certain indielduals, the "replets," of the colony refrain from leaving the neat and foraging for food and become converted into fiagens- by dis- tending the crop to such enormous dimensions that the abdomen looks like a transparent bead. In this con- dition they hang by their claws from the roof of the nest chamber and thenceforth spend all their lives re- ceiving liquid food from the tongues of the foraging ants, storing it in their crops and regurgitating it to hungry individuals when the liquid food supply outside the nest becomes inadequate. ,Thi e Of bourse, apt to be the case periodically in dry re- gions, so that we find the true honey ants only in deserts like those of the Southwestern States, Northern Mex- ico, South Africa and Central Aus- tralia. Sidelights on -the Russian Court. In the "Revue des deux Mondes" the Queer? of Roumania contributes some pages from her diary, written on her hearing of the death of the czar. The Queen herselfwas grand- daughter of Czar Alexander IL, and ehe knew the Russian Court quite Intimately. "Without any doubt," says her ma- jesty, "the Czarina is largely respons- ible for the conduct. of her husband; she discouraged him instead, of en- couraging him, she used her influ- . ence on the wrong side. But in all :justice I must recognize that her in- tentions were good, and cannot be blamed; she believed firmly that she was right, never doubted the excel- lence of her judgment, sure that all that. she did would be the best for her husband, her country and- her people. He was weak; of the two she had the stronger will; thus she led him withoet hesitation towards what she considered the light, and what was really, alas, darkness. "The czarina is one of those per- sonalities that arise from time to time in history. Their power remains inexplicable, and one cannot see from where they drew their force. Perhaps Alexandrareally loved her husband; she certainly adored her son; but her attitude towards the world was al- ways hostile. Placed as she was above everything, dominating her husband, she held a terrible power in her hands; if tenderness had held a place in her heart she might have accomplished miracles;, but with her distrust of every one she held great and small at a distance, as if each wished to rob her of a right that was hers alone. "Considering herself infinitely su- perior to the whole world, she imag- ined that she could only have been placed there to show to others the errors of their ways." Their Own Tongue. The miesionary who was just be- ginning to understand Chinese stood listening to a group of the mission children as they talked together— some of them in English and some ixi the native dialect. Two tiny tots par- ticularly interested beg. They were talking rapidly and volubly, but the missionary could not understand one word of what they were saying. Fin- ally she asked one of the older chil- dren: "Are thoee children talking Eng- lish or Chinese? I can't get anything they seed" "You wouldn't," the child explain- ed, "but they understand each other. It isn't any language, but all the lit- tle bitey ones talk it. They get it off Gad, -and they keep it till they're three."—World Outlook. Children Cry - FOR FLETCHER'S CASTO RIA ellisemeimmoomesaselea The Rider of the King Log By HOLMAN DAY HARPER & BROTHERS (Continued from lost week.) The colonel showed anger. "Are we to infer that you hold the opinion 'that our company has come up here to tear down insteadeof build up?" "Your question is too general, sir! I will not reply. Let us particularize! If the Temiscouata should be in full control i. -'the Coban would you con- tinue to operate the Sainte Agathe sawmills, the spool-vfood mill, the box -board factory at Base Falls, and all the other mills' the X. K. owns or feeds?" "Our business is to make paper, Miss Kavanagh." "Yes, and your mills are far down the river—a long way from Sainte Agathe!" She stood up. "If youleel that I have said too much, gentlemen, or have been too outspoken, please consider that I am trying to protect a sacred trust WI have tried to make you understand that I'm not merely an obstinate girl. Oh, you would un- derstand if you had, seen my father's face when he looked down on the lit- tle village! And es he felt so feel I! Business would call it selling. I would call it betrayal—fand Pd never have another happy day. I'd not have the heart to go to my father's grave! I want to do my best. I want to succeed. I want to protect my own peoplee-save their homes for them. I ask this of you as much for them as for myself—please let us alone!" She apoke with all the earnestness of her soul, and when she had finish- ed she put her hands to her face, hiding sudden emotion. "I rather resent your insinuation that a responsible corporation is handled by ogres," stated the colonel. She controlled herself instantly. "I beg your pardon,. sir! I see I ought to have declined to give you the explanation you asked for. I fear I have exposed only, sentiment insteaeof sense. "Miss Kavanagh, I respect your sentiment—I compliment your ambi- tion. But the Temiscouata has its interests, to -o-, and I 'warn You that—" She broke in sharply. Her de- meanor Was as cold as his. "I hall construe a warning as a threat. I do not want to quarrel." She turned and walked out of the room. • The astonished president of the Temiscouata called twice to her, but she paid no heel He kicked his chair away from himself. and went to the window and watched' her hurry- ing down the slope to her canoe. She was so small a thing to be such a demoralizing trig in the mighty ma- chinery of the Great Temiscouata! When the colonel turned from the window his son smiled on him with unusual exuberance of rancor -reviving amiability. • "What are you grinning at, sir?" The father seemed to be in no measure soothed by the smile. "Do you see any humor in the contumacy of that confounded girl?" "Not exactly!: But the tableau just now reminded Me of something which has always given me a laugh every time I' have remembered it. That's all!" He strolled toward the door of the billiard -room. "If the meeting's over, Deakins, come in _ and take a cue." "Reminded you of what?" insisted the &Aerie' snappishly. "The time the whole pack of the Beechwood Kennels was held up in a farmer's dooryard by a cat protect- ing her kittens. It had to be seen to be appreciated." The last statement seemed to be justified by the gloomy countenances of the directors; they did not show that they saw anything funny in such a state of affairs. "Gentlemen, I trust and believe that Isieave none of the qualities of a buccaneer in Me," declared the president. "But the! idea of that girl holding up a sensible adjustment `of affairs on this river in order to constitute herself guardian of a lot of able-bodied men is damnable non- sense. Whim! It's trio -thing else!" He cracked his knuckles on the table. "It's an act of kindness to her, in the long run, to make her sick of her job." Donald Kezar, rebuffed when he had offered himself as her companion in her adventure that day; edas standing on the shore, watching Clare edurn across, the river. Ueder his breath he was reiterating a4certain determination which Colonel Marthorn had just voiced. On the other shore Donald put out his hand to assist her. Clare Kavanagh, journeying be- tween those two poles of malefic men- tal influence, may have felt psychic sense of evil intent toward her. When she had gone out from the presence of those who represented so much power, out of that room of warmth and sumptuous furnishings, the sleety rain beat upon her face and mingled with her tears. Suddenly she feet afraid and very lonely and a helpless. She pulled down the brim of her hat and hid her face from Explorer Pratt when he held the canoe steady- for her, At that moment he typified for her comforting strength and protection, ' consoling friendship end loyalty. Her enthusiasm and her self-reliance were gene. Those men whom she had faced alone had not seemed to under- stand. They had given her no as- surance that they would -co-operate with 'her or keep their hands off her interests_ Mutely, but none the less effectively, they had impressed on her that they -considered as business folly her guardianship of what was to her a sacred trust. After that contact . "..so"_.m.0r-vg— OssleeesPeetVI-' with cynicism the feeling that she was back with her own produced re- action in her ardent and impulsive nature. She clasped the outstretched hand in both her own and looked up at him. "Oh, Donald!" she sobbed. It was appeal by helplessness, it was unpremeditated surrender, it was hunger for sympathy. There was not in her any of the thrill of the convic- tion that she was in love with Donald. But in her need and her loneliness she would have been glad if he had put his arms about her; she knew she would not mind the presence of Mr. Pratt. She was quite prepared to astonish that gentleman by turn- ing to him, holding. Donald's hand, and announcing that there stood the man whom she had chosen. But the lover did not realize that triumph beckoned to him from her brimming eyes 'and her upturned' face. In the case of other girls who had looked up at him in that fashion he had been bold and pronipt and had conquered. But he had coinvincied himself—and she had seemed to fur- nish plenty of facts—that her emo- tions were not like those of other girls. She had depressed her opinion of precipitate love -making. So he did ot guess what she was offering. He displayed' the same sullenness with wilich he had. seen her depart on her errand. "You ought to have taken me along with you. You have been over there alone and they had their chance to browbeat you. I can see what the trouble is!" Could he see? She lifted her press- • ing palms from his hand. "You're no match for that gang of robbers. You ought to understand it and hand the whole thing over to me!" His emphasis on the last word pricked her. pride. For a moment she put her forearm, across her eyes, steadying herself. Mentally she was stepping backward, as one walks back from the edge of a cliff, seeking safety after the dizzi- ness of a, desire to throw oneself into the depths. She had been about to give him her pledge—and she knew that to whomever she gave her pledge it would not be fickle promise. In spite of her mingled emotions a few moments before, her new mood was that of exultation which she could hardly understand. It was not fully explained by the thought that she had escaped making a fool of herself. That thought whs merely comforting and did not account for the deeper sense of joy and freedom. "Hurrah! That's over!" she cried. Donald turned sour gaze in 'the direction of the log palace on -the hill. "You ought to have taken me along, I say!" "I almost did take you. But it has come out all right." He did not in the least understand what her ex- pression signified. "Break camp," she commanded. -"There's a tight roof on Dolan's House!" CHAPTER XX Colonel Marthorn comes into contact with a paragon of probity and has his suspicions -aroused by excess of virtue and superlative of .promise. When Kenneth informed, his sister that Clare Kavanagh had hurried away from the house Miss Cora show- ed only languid concern, "Really, I don't know as I remember how the girl looked—that's as much interest as I took in her at -school. My only distinct memory is that she was very pert in some petty affair about money --and I left her in disgust. I hope father managed to set her where she belongs." "He did seat her—at the foot of the long table!" "Kenneth, whatever she is up here or whatever she has done, father is - very much. annoyed. All the way up- river he has been talking about that girl and her obstinate folly. Hasn't he disposed of her for good?" "She came—she saw—and I think it's fifty-fifty on the conquering pro- position. --I believe if I'd had the say in that meeting I would have capitul- ated," he added. "If that's humor, it's very unpleas- ant, Kenneth." t "Perhaps it isn't humor. Since I have heard 11/liss Clare Kavanagh present her case to our folks, my mood I realize now, hasn't been humorous. She's the squarest little brick and the bravest little champion who ever made fast her helmet with a hat -pin and went forth to battle." He sounded as if he meant it. With astonishment she made comment to that effect. " (IA mean it!" - l'ie gave him a reproachful look. They had been walking in one of the glass-sheltereci porches after Dea- kins had been called away from the billiard -table by summons to a confer- ence in the big room. "But you mustn't worry about me, Cora. I have meant it when I have said that a certain experience has been good for me.

And, in course of time, everybody will forget all about me—and I'll raise whiskers and be a hermit up here." "That's senseless—any such sacri- fice." "But it isn't sacrifice! It's the way I'm feeling these days. I don't have a distracting theught to keep me from the job. Even this little taste of house party rather bores me. I know we must go in now and; play' cards. If it weren't for this rain I'd be on my way back up -river!" he added, wiee manner revtalii c;sgust. "There I go! Hesitating because of rale Why Cora, a few more days of his sybanite ism will spoil me for the woods. It's dangerous staying here!" He paus- ed and peered! through the rain -streak- ed glass a the porch. The Kavanagh tents had disappeared from the knoll on No Man's Gore. "She land her folks have gone, rain or no rain! It makes me feel guilty." He did, not hide from himself' that he also felt a sudden pang of queer loneliness. He had not been conscious of any especial comfort because Clue was sojourning across the river; but now that she had- gone away the whole place seemed to be divested of some point of peculiar interest. He gazed upon the mist -shrouded, bend of the river and through him ran that sudden, familiar, tingling thrill which is the preliminary of the set- ting forth upon adventure. "I don't think it's going to hold on to rain long," he continued, speaking as much to himself as to Cora. "I believe make a start." "A start?" she demanded, incred- ulously. "Yes! Back to the job!" "But father says we are to rest here a week or two. You must stay here with ns! He expects you to stay." "I'd be making a fine exhibition of my spirit of enterprise, loafing here a fortnight under the eyes of five of the directors just at the time of year when, we're hustling to get ahead of the snow with our surveys!" They went to the card -room, answering a summoning signal tap- ped upon a near -by window. Young Mr. Marthorn took advantake of every dummy band to rise and make pro- tracted! survey of the weather, star- ing up toward the mist -shrouded bend'. After a time Colonel Marthorn came into the card -room. He apol- ogized to the guests because he was obliged to call Kenneth beck to the business meeting. At the door of the big room son halted! father. "I'm glad you called me out, dad! I warn you that I shall make further excuse out of it and say that I must be back on my job. r want to get away to -day as soon as possible." "It's out of the question." "But I have shown you the- plans and the maps—" "We have been, discussing the plans. We believe that there must be important modifications." He opened the door entickly, giving Kenneth no. time for questions or further objec- tions. The maps were outspread on the ' table and the president of the Great Temiscouata tapped finger on first one and then another while he dis- coursed on the changes which had been considered. Several times Kenneth tried to get in a word,' but I was checked impatiently by his ; father. One of the directors took I down the president's instructions. "I hope I have made myself clear, said the colonel. • ; , "You have, sir!" "And provide you with a copy of my instructions so that you maar cheek up your memory." "Thank you! But allow me to ob- serve that by sticking carefully to the details of your instructions I may be hampered in the grand -design. Yon have only the mos and figures to go by, but I have actual and practical knowledge of the section and the resources." "I have not spoken of any grand claim as you call it." "Oh, no! Nor did I expect you to waste time in dwelling on the details of the obvious." "I fail to see any particular thing that is obvious in my suggestions as to change of plans," "I must respect your statements, sir." Kenneth was blandly polite. "IVIY training obliges me to group causes in order to estimate the effect Sinceyou gentlemen are 'not practical engineers, it may be that you have concerned yourselves with the details only of the changes—missing the effect of the grand design. I don't care to proceed on any misunderstand- ing, In order to be distinctly efficient I must be posted as to your real mot- ives." Colonel Marthorn knew better than any of the rest e�f them what depths were covered by his son's de- lusive hufaility.- "Motives?" "Yes, sir! Your changes are not developments of the hydraulic re- senrces of the river. You're taking the river by the neck and throttling it,. so far as the rights of anybody else are concerned+. r ask you to be frank with me; otherwise we can't co-operate properly." "Those changes are for our best interests, sir!" - - _nres, but if you don't want to hog everything for the Temiscouata slid choke everybody else, you'd better' not suggest those changes." The colonel was silent, choler painting red patches on his cheeks.
