Interesting Discussions in Which
MIR. Roosevelt Figures.

The Biological Society of Washington
held its regular meeting at the asse sembly
hall OF the Cosmos Club last evening
Several prominent scientists were present.
among whom We're DR.. c. Hart Merriam
who was the principal speaker Of the
evening; Assistant Secretary Roosevelt,
c. H Townsend, Vernon Bailey, l.. D.
Howard, Prof Ward and DR.. Dali, OF the
Geological Survey
DR. Merriam read q very learned paper
ON the New Methods of Weighing Species
and Subspecies,' in which he strongly
advocated close adherance to the Homen-
clature of the different sciences which
created some very warm discussion
Mr.. Roosevelt was the first dissentinS
voice. He contended that when scien tsts
wrote for scientists they could use what
ever terms suited their purpose best. put
when writing for the general public they
should adopt a system Of nomenclature in
telligible to the ordinary reader
Drs. Ward and Dali then argued in sup
port of DIR. Merriman's theory, but their
opposition could not convince the ex-polics
commi ssiOner, who again took the floor
and fought out his point.

BLODGETf'S LOST PAPERS
Georgia Politician Claims to Have
Lost Valuable Documents.
Further That They Im piicate Col
Buck-DetectivesH Have Been Set
at Work to Recover Them.

Col. Tom Blodgett, OF Augusta, Ga, who
is stopping at the Slater Hotel, reported
at the Sixth police station yesterday that
some valuable papers were stolen from
his room about l p. IA. O'Clock on Friday
Col. Hodgett, when seen last night, said
he has strong suspicious as 10 who is
the guilty party, but refused TO mention
any name until the detectives had made
a report III the case. The papers, he said,
We're valuable only from political stand
point, and would be Of no use TO the
person who removed them, because he,
Col. Blodgett, had certified copies of every
paper which was taken.
tits stated by Blodgett that short while
after March 4, a strange man came and
engaged a room at the Hotel Slater at
which Mr. Blodgett and Stewart are stop
ping. This man, it is stated, made in
quiTies as TO whether Blodgett did not have
some valuable papers against Col. a E.
Buck, and his manner was such as excited
the suspicion Of Blodgett, who a once took
the papers from his own ruoIn and put
them in charge OF MI Stewart, friend,
who gave them to his wife for safe keep
ing.
after week or ten days Of scheTning. the
strange gentleman, it is reported, in con-
yersation with Mr. Stewart andotheTs, con
fesSed that he had been sent from Georgia
for the purpose of stealing the papers from
Blodgett
After the gentleman had left the hotel
Bodgrtt got his papers from Mr.. Stewart
and put them in his valse in his room at
the hotel, locking his door and always
keeping his key in his pocket.
Friday, Mr.. Blodgett says, he vent to his
room to get these papers to read TO some
one, as he delights to do, but ON opening
his valise he found that the papers con-
tanning charges against Col. A E. Buck
were missing, while other important pa :
pers even more valuable, We're unmolested.
Blodgett says that he has certified copies
of the Buck papers at his home in Al
pharetta, Ga, but that in the papers miss
ing are copies of letters which he wrote
to Col. Buck, of which he has no other
copies, and that his friends in the Senate
also have copies of the papers. Col. Blod-
gett is determined to sift the matter to
the bottom and has given the case to the

NORMAL EDUCATION.

At the recent meeting of the Ma
tional Educational Association at Mil
waukee, Wis, some interesting facts
were brought out in relation to the
amount of money spent by the ma
tions in the matter of education, and
it was shown that the United States
was the only country that spends
more for education then for war. This
is a very healthful indication. The
figures given at the association as to
the amount spent for war and educa-
tion by the various countries are as
follows:
France spends annually "a per capita
on her army and 10 cents per capita
on education; England, SO. Y for army
and 81 cents for education; Prussia,
81 GA for her army and so cents for
education; Italy, S1.52 for her army
and SO cents for education; Austria,
Sl.36 for her army and 81 cents for her
education; Russia, S2.04 for her army
and cents for education: the United
States, 80 cents for her army and 81. IS
for education. England, six to one
for war; Russia, seventy to one for
war: the United States, four to one
for education! The United States
spends more per capita annually for
education than England. France and
Russia combined.
This is splendid showing for the
United States and must in time throw
out tremendous influence for the
better condition of mankind, and have
its effect in lifting each generation to
higher and worthier citizenship
