BIG ARCTIC BEARS.
Smithsonian Institution Win Try to Catch
Some.


Smithsonian Institution WIN Try to Catch
Some.
The biggest bears In the world are
to be found on Kadlak island In the
Gulf Of Alaska, south of the great
shoulder of territory that stretches out
into the Pacific: end DIR. Frank Baker
OF the Smithsonian institution has sent
ElwoOd HOfer, II well-known guide and
hunter of the Yellowstone park, to
catch one or more of those great mon.
sters for the national geological park.
The Kadiuk bears are Of the polar
breed, perfectly white with long.
heavy fur, and at full growth are twice
ms large as the ordinary black bear of
the Rocky mountains, weighing from
2,40O to 5000 pounds, and standing as
high as an ordinary cow-the biggest
carnivorous animals living. The tracks
they leave In the snow are often meas.
ured fifteen inches long and ten inches
wide. They are very savage and fight
desperately when attacked. Several
have been killed, and the skins have
been brought Ia this country, but no
Kadiak was ever captured alive.
DR.. Carlton ii. Bean, the fish expert
who is In charge of the department OF
fisheries at the Paris exposition. while
making nn exploration Of the fishing re-
sources of Kadak island last year. saw
n good many of these bears, and de.
scribes them in graphic terms. He
says that while climbing n rocky hill
one day he saw Il large drove of them
near the coast running about and play
ing like SO many lambs. There must
have been $50 or 200 In the bunch, he
says. and some of them were enor-
nous.

An Idea Of What It Costs
to Hold One...

What is the actual cost OF the na-
tional convention Of one Of the great
political parties? This question is more
easily asked than answered, as I have
iound In endeavoring to secure an ac-
eufate answer to 1t. Party leaders,
convention managers, convention off,
elais either do not know or will not
.eii the details Of the expenditures on
tn's account. They seem to be part of
Tue Dody OF secrets which one national
committee hands down to another, and
which all national committees en-
aeavor to keep from the public. The
national conventions are largely under
tne management of the national COM
mittees. National committees select
tne time and the place. make the ar
rangements with the cities which en-
tertain the convention, manage every
tning but the actual proceedings, and
WIND up the business affairs after
wards.
Inc actual work Of arranging for the
eohVentionN convenience and comfort
and the convenience and comfort of
tne newspaper men and other specta-
'ors Is delegated by the national COM
mittee to subcommittee. and the OH
GERS OF the national committee. as a
RUE, control the expenditures. Pre-
sumaoiy, the. accounts are submitted
70 the national committee and duly
audited. and. presumably, vouchers are
produced for the expenditure of the
money. But. II SO. very little seems
TO be known about the accounting, and
some OF the political leaders say that
1t Is not always either rigid or ex-
act.
The fact is that the fund for the en-
tertainment of the convention is now
adays made large enough by the city

Though not more than years old. he

In which the hens scratched up the

he came running in to his father in

entertainment of the national COM
mittee as a body and as individuals
may cost several thousand dollars.
Music In the convention may take
from 800 to $500 a day.
The stenographic work at the Chi
cago convention of 1896 cost about
$500. and the edition Of several thou
sand copies Of the printed report Of
the proceedings cost several thousand
dollars more. The tickets of admis.
sion are always very carefully design
ed and engraved, and are guarded az
1ealously as the most precious Jewels
to prevent them from being counter
feited. They are kept In a safe depos-
1t vault from the time they are deliv-
cred by the engraving company until
the time they are issued, Just before
the meeting Of the convention. 1t is
claimed that convention tickets have
never been counterfeited. AS q COM
plete set OF them may be worth from
$l5 to $40. there Is obvious reason for
taking every precaution to keep them
from being counterfeited.
In all this nothing has been said
about the payment Of money for the
services Of the scores Of subordinate
officials and assistants Of various
kinds. 1t is well known, Of course.
that the officers Of a convention re-
ceive no pecuniary compensation.
They serve for the honor and glory Of
1t, although allowances are usually
made to the sergeant-at-arms and
similar officers for their personal ex-
penses.

ORIGIN or CHEMICAL ELEuESTs.
G. Cecil Fry, in knowledge.

G. Cecil Fry, in knowledge
PrOut's famous hypothesis (of the evolution OF
all the other elements from One) has several
times since the year 1915 received a finishing
touch from the merciless critics, but, like the
cat with a marvellous vitality, il still survives
after much abuse. The only mistake that PrOut
made-a very natural mistake at the time-was
in taking hydrogen as his starting point. For if
evolution Of the elements has really taken place
some modification of PrOuts hypothesis must be
true. The atomic weights of the elements must
be multipIeS of that fraction of hydrogen which
may result from the dissertation of hydrogen
The fact that the verifiCatiOn of this is beyond
the reach of analytical chemistry is beside the
question: but ii is worth noting that some Of
the most accurate atomic weight determinations
ever made due to the controversy over
Prout's hypothesis which has. in this way at
least borne practical fruit. 1t has long ago been
noticed that the essential elements of living mat
ter are all Of relatively low atomic weight.
Sir Norman Lockyer has also pointed out the
interesting fact that these elements are precise
Iy those found in the hottest stars. In other
words, organic evolution began among the
earliest and simplest chemical forms, and the
marvellous mobility and Elasticity of the prOto-
plasmiC cell are due to IT'S being formed from
the simplest and, presumably. the most mobile
and most plastic Of the elements We have here
"a quite new bond between man and the stars"
