BURBANK ON CACTUS Startling Statements Made About His Thornless Variety. GOOD PRODUCER OF MILK. California Horticulturist Says Cow* Prefer Cactus to Any Other Kind of Foddei—Believes Improved Specie* Will Be Most Important of Plant* For Arid Regions. At the irrigation congress held In Sacramento, Cal., recently Luther Bur bank, the horticultural expert of Cali fornia, gave a talk on cacti, says the Florists' Review. Among other things be said: "One-third of the earth's surface Is desert. Nearly the whole of Australia, except a narrow rim along the coast, has been found to bo almost useless for any purpose except sheep raising. The cactus which was introduced there and also into South America was one of the poorest varieties and was taken there probably for ornament on account of Its large and luxuriant thorns, and It has since taken posses sion of those countries. It is destruc tive to sheep, often getting Into their eyos, and when once introduced on the land it costs more than the value of the land to eradicate It. "Fifteen years ago I was examining and studying forest plants for dry re gions to see what improvement could be made upon them, and it struck me that the cactus, If the thorns could be taken ofi, would be one of the best for desert culture. I found by raising them from seed that ninety-nine out of a hundred would be thorny, but onco in awhile one would be found that had few or no thorns. 1 carefully saved the seeds from these, and after grow ing thousands and thousands of seed lings I finally produced one that was absolutely thornless. "Now, as 1 wished to get a cactus that would produce a great amount of nourishment, of course my first object was to get it thornless and next to get a variety that would produce the greatest quantity of forage per acre. That has been well accomplished. I haven cactus that, set out in rows 3 by C feet, produces 200 tons of food per acre. Twenty tons per acre from beets, carrots, turnips or cabbages is considered a good crop. Some of the older cacti will produce as much as a hundred tons. "The cactus Is not as nutritious as the beet, but there Is much more water in It. By analysis some cacti produce per cent of starch, while others pro duce but the one-twentieth of 1 per cent, showing the difference in con stituents. My object is to combine this great productiveness with great nutri tion, and when that is done my opinion is that the cactus will be the most im portant plant that there is on earth to day for arid regions. I have taken the wild Colorado cacti, planted them thickly in a small bed and given them no water; then 1 have planted four or five of uiy improved cacti in the same bed, and the improved cacti starved the others almost to death. With the same treatment they will grow three or four feet in height, be in perfect vigor and often weigh five to seven pouuds each, while the Colorado wild cacti are drying up for lack of mois ture. The ability of the improved cacti to root deeper from their greater indi vidual growth gives them the oppor tunity to strike deeper and take the moisture up, while the common wild cacti cannot reach it and hence starve to death. "Every animal that eats vegetation of any kind is very fon3 of the cactus, and for that reason It has thorns. Oth erwise it would have been either out of existence o - it would have taken Borne other means to protect itself. Cows relish cactus and when used to It prefer it to any other kind of fod der. It produces good milk and Is used In the Hawaiian Islands and northern Africa for that purpose extensively. If people only knew what cactus Is and knew the benefits to be derived by planting the Improved sorts, it would soon prove to be the greatest thing ever known for reclaiming arid soil naturally." Ballooning Good For Invalids. It has been prophesied that society will take to ballooning for rest and to get its nerves soothed so they may un dergo further tension in the social whirl, says the New York Press. Cer tain European medical men think air Balling efficacious In even worse mala dies. They advocate the "balloon cure" for tuberculosis. The contention Is that so wide a range of altitudes Is obtainable by means of a balloon that the treatment Is letter than a sojourn In nn Alpine village. Where even by climbing the patient cannot vary his altitude by more than a few hundred feet, going up In a balloon an Invalid may be conveyed In a few minutes to an atmosphere in which there are no mineral particles or bacteria. Telephone Buoys For Submarines. Detachable telephone buoys are to be used to prevent any recurrence of submarine disasters, which have cost a number of men in the French navy their lives, says a Faris special cable dispatch to the Chicago inter Ocean. In case a submarine vessel goes to the bottom and Is unable to rise a buoy will be loosed by the imprisoned crew and sent to the surface to attract at tention and summon help. Persons at tracted to the buoy can then talk to the men below, learn their exact pre dicament and the best way of over coming it. The minister of the navy recently ordered the equipment in stalled on all submarines. First Pocket Handkerchief. The pocket handkerchief was not In vogue until 1540, when a beautiful Venetian lady appeared carrying one, and from this time it came into com mon use in Italy. The French were quick to follow the fashion, and pocket handkerchiefs were made of costly materials and richly embroidered. They were brought to England from France, but Germany was slow to adopt .their use, and when at last the pocket handkerchief was introduced it represented the great wealth and noble lineage of its possessors.—Lon don Mall.

Visitors at Pittsburg Prison Mistaken For Criminals and Locked Up. Benjamin Braznell, a young million aire coal operator of Pittsburg, was entertaining J. W. McGarvln, a wealthy friend from Altoona, I'a., the other afternoon and took him around to detective headquarters to Introduce him to Captain McGough, says a Pittsburg special to the New York World. Both men expressed a willing ness to see the city prison In Pitts burg, and McGough gave them a pass and turned them over to Sergeant Atlolph Metz. Sergeant Metz was busy and turned them over to Detec tive Morgan, forgetting to tell him that they were visitors. Morgan took the two men back Into the cell room, and before they knew what was happening he was relieving them of their valuables and other pos sessions. They protested, but it did no good, for Morgan was a former pugilist and wouldn't take any back talk. He almost dropped dead, though, when he fished a SI,OOO bill out of Mr. Braz nell's pocket and as much more out of Mr. McGarvin's clothes. When he had relieved them of everything he locked them In separate cells and took a hat -1 ful of money, diamonds and other val [ uables Into Captain McGough's private i office. | While all this was going on Mr. ' McGough hod been summoned to an other part of the building, and it was nearly an hour before he returned. "Them's big guns we've got, cap tain," he announced. "I got about a ton of junk from each of 'em." McGough almost had a spasm when he discovered that his millionaire | friends were in cells, lie is still try ing to explain to them that It wasn't a joke, but they refuse to believe him. DR. SENN'S ODD ADVENTURE. How Noted Chicago Surgeon's Process of Identification Proved a Success. Dr. Nicholas Senn of Chicago, one of the most widely known surgeons in the United States, who died at Chicago the 1 other day, traveled in Wyoming several years ago, and in the small town of ! Sundance an odd adventure befell him, says the Chicago Record-Herald. He had a letter of introduction to a ranch er called Walton, and, stopping the i first man whom he met in Sundance, he said: "I am looking for a chap named Walton. Do you know him?" "Well," said the stranger, "there's a j good many Waltons hereabouts. Which Walton might you be looklti' for?" "John Walton," said Dr. Senu. "There's four .John Waltons in Crook county," said the native. "This one keeps very fine stock." "All the Waltons keep mighty fine stock." "This Walton," Dr. Senn pursued, "is rather tight—you know what I mean—rather close fisted." "Close fistedness, sir, runs in the Walton blood." "Well, I am informed," said Dr. Senn, "that this particular Walton—l don't suppose the story Is true, but they say that this particular Walton once stolo a lot of chickens from his ! sister." The other smiled faintly. "I reckon I'm the man vou want." he said. Price of Peace. A story Is told of Verdi, the famous composer, which shows that he was j willing to pay a good price for what he considered comfort. A friend who went to call upon him In a small wa tering place found the composer In a little room which ho Informed his vis itor served him for dining room, sit ting room and bedroom. "I have two other rooms which are large," he said to his friend, "but I keep articles hired by me in them. 1 have there ninety-five barrel organs." He paused to note his friend's sur prise and then continued: "When I came here my ears were tortured by hearing them play 'Trova tore,' 'Rigoletto' and similar stuff. I hired them from their owners. I pay about 1,500 lire for them Rnd enjoy my summer's rest undisturbed by the sound of my own compositions." Women and Their Fears. Not half the horrors that women sup pose are going to happen to them ever do happen. Vet it is in the nature of the gentle sex to expect and look out for them, to anticipate what fate may never send. In the form that women nurture it, too. It Is so nebulous, so vague, so terrifying, because so scanti ly defined, as to be absolutely possess ive.—W T Oman's Life. EGUETQIHQ NEW!
