'While Berbank was experi- menting with potatoes about twenty years ago he noticed in his patch one plant which held one particularly promising pod of seeds, To his prac- ticed eye these seeds and the plant whicl'bore ‘them wonld contain the germ of a new and excellent potato. If he had thought it necessary he would have put a watchman over this one small seed ball, As it developed t le’money that would have been required for a watchman would-have been: but:ar:minute:drop - of sllver 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 the time when the pdd could:‘be picked. 2 ¥ 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. “I think a bird must have picked it off and tried to carry it away,” Mr. Burbank told the Colorado potato men. “Anyhow, there it lay, and I picked it up and planteG the seeds, and that’s how‘we have Burbank potatoes to- day.” Watermelons Left Upholder of In. diana Product Gasping. Harry Grimsley, a Terre Haute Ro- tary club man, comes from Georgia and is still in love with his native state, He boasts of its wonders, and the last time he discoursed on It, wus telling of the wonderful bargains he got in watermelons. “Why, we got the very biggest ones for only five cents,” he said. i “But they aren’t so big as the oiles ‘we have up here,” persisted one of Lis listeners. *“Why, out on my farm we hdd some half as big around as half the top of this table, We didn’t eat any of it except the core, and yet the whole family had enough of it und more.” “Down there,” drawled Mr, Grims- iley in his most southern drawl, “we & { never eat nearer than two-feel of the rind of the melon and yet there's always more than enough for a fam- ily in one melon.”—Indlanapolis News. Sacred Mohammeédan Rock. A report on the Dome of the Rock of Jerusalem fis shortly to be pub- lished and will be of great interest to the Mohammedan world. It may not be generally known that this place is the third in sanctity of all the sanctu- aries of Islam, and indeed for a short period - it actually formed the Kibla toward which all Moslems prostrated themselves in prayer. Among the more important religious assoclations of'this rock we may men- tion it was here that David and Solo- mon were called to repentance, and on account of a vision David chose this site for his temple. From this same spot Mohammed ascended to the seventh heaven after his night journey from Mecca, and lastly it is to be the sceng of the Great Judgment. The historical associations are not less striking and such famous names as Omar. Abdel-Malek, Saladin and Sulei- wan are all connected with the rock. Self-Luminous Animals. Not less than 36 different orders of animals are self-luminous, we are told by the new work of E. Newton Har- vey on “The Nature of Animal Light.” These include many forms of pro- tozoa, hydrolds, Jjellyfish, bryozoa, polychaete and oligechaete worms, ! brittle stars, crustacen, myriopods, in- sects, mollusks, primitive chordates and fishes. None of the luminous spe- | cies inhabit fresh water, all being ierrestrial or marine. The luminosity 15 sometimes shown by both larvae and adults,-and in a few instances by | eggs. In experiments made, two sub- ! stances have been isolated—Iuciferase, an enzyme, and luciferin, a proteid— end the light appears to result from bringink these together in the pres- Recovered Coin After Fifty Years. Fifty years ago when the founda- tions were being laid for the Wash- ington statue in front of Independence hall, in Philadelphia, John Nash, then a policeman, threw a 2-cent piece into the hole being dug for the founda- tions. Recently when some changes were being made to the s!atue, Nash recalled the incident and st'rred up the dirt and uncovered the coin. It will be hung in Ihdependence hall. Incidentally, Mr. Nash recalled that 2 cents had & buying capacity at that time treble that of today. | Smoke Injures Galvanized Iron.
