inches upon the hips to preserve

In the savannas of South America
there grows a tree called by the ma
tives chaparro. which not only is not
injured but actually benefited by prai-
rie fires. The thick bark resists the
action of the flames, and the hard seeds
are supplied with kind of wings ow-
ing to which they are scattered broad
cast by the strong wind which accom-
panies a fire.

Governor Roosevelt's train followed
almost the same route as this in Indi-
ana, touching twenty-four places for
set speeches. About the same general
experience was his. Indiana being
considered a most important state, the
work was in excess of the general
Western average, but even with that
allowance the figures are significant of
the demands made upon the physical
and mental sides of these men.
Vocal Exertion.
In considering the campaign work of
man, the voice is the one thing that
gives uneasiness TO the speaker and his
friends. With voice gone, his work
Is at an end, and 1t Is known that the
voice is more likely to give away than
any other physical necessity in a cam
paign. If hand-shaking be thrust upon

Bryan's Active Work.

DTJdn'S ACt1Ve Work.
Bryan's first active work began on
Aug. 81, when he visited Chicago for a
conference with the national commit
tee. His letter of acceptance had been
weighing upon him, but in response to
calls he went South and East as far
as Cumberland Nd, back through
West Virginia, Ohio, and Indiana. to
Chicago. Then to Milwaukee, back to
chicago, and from that city westward
through a group of the centraEWest-
ern states. These were only prelim-
mary movements. His campaign proper
began at Papillion, Neb., on Sept. "a.
full three weeks after Governor Roose
yelts special train had pulled into De-
troit, Mich, for the opening speech of
his campaign.
AS an example of just how many du-
ties devolved upon these candidates.
some of the figures from Mr.. Bryan's
tour of Indiana have been gathered.

South African Distances.

Many people who read of the

ing the distance in South Africa.
Indeed, those who have not informed
themselves in this regard will be
surprised to learn that the southern
part of Africa, which looks so small
on the map, is a country of magnifi-
cent distances.
For instance, the distance from
Cape Town to Kimberly is G47 miles.
Mafeking, near the TranSvaal Dor
der, is 223 miles north of Kimberly.
Johannesburg, in the Transyaal, is
LOLA miles from Cape Town.
The distance from Durham the
British port on the east coast of
Natal, to Ladysmith is 189 miles.

and from Port Elizabeth to Pretoria
is 10 miles. It's several hundred

No Change at Meridian.

been able to run trains with some

down. The residents of that section
saw their first train for a week to-
day, and received their first mail.
The track south on the Mobile and
Ohio is in such shape that the train
is able to proceed at rate ofabout six
miles per hour. The other roads
converging here are still in bad shape
with no immediate prospect of estab-
lishment Of regular schedule,
