Burbank of California Inventa a New Dish Called Pomato. San Francisco, AprU 28. The Exam iner saya today that Luther Burbank of Santa Rosa, has succeeded In pro ducing another wonderful creation which will come under the head of potatoe experiments and Is known as a "Potato Fruit." Briefly summarised, the evolution is a matter of planting a tuber and gathering from the potato vine a luscious white fruit, one that Is delightfully palatable, and makes excellent preserves. Mr. Burkanb has named the new fruit 'Tomato." When compared with a tomato the pomato is smaller In size and Its meat la white Instead of red. It Is highly flavored. In other words, Its flavor is that of a fruit rather than a vegetable. Burbank Breaks of the creation of the pomato as resulting from the turning of the plant life In an opposite direc tion. . 'Instead of cultivating tubers we now cultivate fruit, and the tubers are of secondary consideration," , he said. "The fruit on the vine being the main object" Mr. Burbank has now some 10,000 varieties of potatoes with which he i-i experimenting. Most of them ar hy brid seedlings of his own creation. ,.

Dispatches from Pittsburg announcing that by the will of David James, who died on Saturday, it has been learned his real name was Jamison, that he had de serted his wife and three - sons In Brooklyn 40 years ago, have proved a great surprise to the only living eon who still resides In Brooklyn and gains a livelihood as a stationary engineer.

She knew nothing of his double life and the family In Brooklyn long ago gave up the husband and father as dead. One after another they dropped off iin til now only the one son mentioned remains and he will receive the en tire estate.
