ALMOST LOSl (JIG DISCOVERY
Predatory Bird Carried Off Pod Con
taining Precious Seed That Pro
duced Burbank Potatoea.
l.iillier Iturhunk recently told Colo
rado potato men n Mory of Ida iHaeav-
ery of the world-famous llnrlmnk po
tato, which Ima only recently come to
llglil. While Hnrlmnk wan export-
mealing with potatoea about twenty
yearn ago he noticed In Ills patch one
plant which held one particularly
proiiilafiiK pod of Needs, To Ills prac
ticed eye these Needs and the plant
whleh bore llicin would rontaln the
germ of a new and excellent potato.
If ho had thought It necessary he
would have put a watchman over this
one small seed hull. As It developed
later, the money that would have been
required for n watchman would have
been hut a minute drop of silver In
iho ocean of gold which tills one pod
was destined to produce.
Bvory morning Hurbank would go
to the patch to Nee how the pod wus
faring, and often during each day he
would look ut tho plant to discover
the time when the pod could be
■vjdcked.
, l>nc morning he went Into the patch
and the pod wus gone. With the help
Jit workmen he aeurchcd for It, Final
ly, after hunting for hours, 20 feet
away from the plant, In' tho midst of
other plants, the pod was found.
"I think a bird must have picked
It off mid tried to enrry If uwiiy," Mr.
Burbank tohf tho Colorado potato men.
"Anyhow, there It Iny, and I picked It
tip mid planted the seeds, nnd that’s
how we have Burbank polutoos to
day."

Snored Mohammedan Rock.
A report on tlio Homo of iho Itoek
of Jcrusiilem Is shortly to lie pub
lished mid will he of grunt Interest to
the Moliiiiiunednn world. It may not
lie generally known (lull tills plane Is
the tliIr<l In sanctity of all the sanctu
aries of Islam, ami Indeed for a short
period It actually formed tho Klbln
toward which all Moslems prostrated
themselves in prayer.
Among (fie more Important religious
iiKNoclittloiiN of this rock we may mou- j
-lion It wus here that David and Solo
mon were called to repentance, and
on account of a vision David chose
Ihls site for his temple. From this
same spot Mohammed ascended to the
seventh heaven after Ids night Journey j
from Mecca, and lastly It Is to be tho
scone of the Great Judgment. The
historical associations are not less
striking mnl such famous names as
Omar Ahdel-Malek, Saladln and Sulei
man are all eomieJled with the rock.
Self-Luminous Animals.
Not less than Jilt different orders of
milmals lire self-luminous, we are told
by the new work of IS. Newton liar- 1
vey on "The Nature of Animal Light.'’ j
These Include many forms of pro- j
t oxoa. hydrolds. Jellytlsli, liryogon,
polyciuion- ami ollgoclmete worms,'
brittle stars, Crustacea, myriapods, In- j
seels, mulliisks, primitive chordntes
nud tislies. None of the luminous spe- !
cles Inlmldt fresh water, all being,
terrestrial or marine. The luminosity
Is sometimes shown by both larvae
and adults, ami In a few instances by
eggs. In experiments made, two sub
stances have boe»i Isolated—luclfcrnse,
an enzyme, nnd luelferin, a protcld—
and the light appears to result from
bringing these together tu the pres
ence of oxygen nnd water.
Recovered Coin After Fifty Years.
Fifty years ago when the founda
tions were being laid for the Wash
ington stntu^ In front of Independence
ball, in Philadelphia, John Nush, then
a twliceman, threw » 2-ccnt piece into
the hole being dug for the founda
tions. Recently when some changes
were being made to the statue, Nash
recalled tho Incident and stirred up
the dirt and uncovered the coin. It
will he hung In Independence hall.
Incidentally, Mr. Nush reeulled that
2 cents had a buying capacity at that
time treble that of toduy.
