OVER 100000 IS SPENT IN
THE FIGHT FOR ROOSEVELT

WASHINGTON May 19.-More thar
$1,000,000 has been expended in this
campaign to procure the Republican
presidential nomination for Theodore
Roosevelt, and the daily expenses are
increasing as the time for the Assem-.
bling of the Chicago convention ap
proaches.
The headquarters in Washington is
costing about $4,000 a day. There re
main thirty days before the conven
ton will meet.
Each Roosevelt delegate has cost
about $4,000. If the Colonel should OBJ,
tain $40, the number needed to nomi-
ate, and the average cost should re-
main the same, the total would be
$780, 900.
Special Trains and other Items OF
Expense.
The items of expense INCLUDE every
thing from a postage stamp to a spe-
cial train, and from an office boy to a
general manager.
1t cost $4,000 for stamps to dis
tribute circulars in eight states.
The telegraph tolls have been about
$4,000 and the telephone bills as
much.
Roosevelt speakers have cost an
average of 500 a speech.
The weekly plate" service to news
papers runs up an expense account of
$4,000 or 100000 for the campaign.
Printing and lithographing will cost
100000 before the last delegate is
elected.
1t is estimated that about 1900 work
ers were in the field in the Illinois,
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Mary
land, Nebras and Missouri campaigns.
At st. Joseph, Mo-, workers were paid
$50 a day. For several days 1900
Roosevelt men were at work in two of
the Maryland districts. There were
lat in the Seventeenth ward of Balti-
moore. The Maryland men, 1t is esti-
mated, were paid at least S. each a
day.
There have been no Digns OF pow
erty about the headquarters of the Ma
tional Roosevelt Committee in Mr..
Munsey's building since the night that
George w. Perkins made the trip to
Oyster Bay to carry a message from
Senator Dixon, manager of the Roose-
welt campaign, to Col. Roosevelt, who
had just thrown his hat in the ring.

HOW WOOL TRANsPLANTs
SEEDS FROM AEAR

They have been discovering some
extraordinary plants in England,
plants which puzzled botanists, to
whom they were either utterly UNI
known or known as growing only in
far distant lands. One naturalist
picked on the grounds of the Bradford
sewage works 100 species OF foreign
plants Among these were several
Australian burrs, jimson weed, prickIy
poppies from Mexico, others native
to Peru, Siberia and the Azores.
All were Of a prickly nature. In.
vestigation proved that the dust from
wool combing establishments was be-
ing used as fertilizer and the washings
of wool were run into the sewers. The
hurrs of these foreign plants had come
in the wool and had grown. Other
plants had sprung from seed in rags
and others been brought in soil on
foreign timber.

The climate of Bermuda may be

the atmospheric conditions similar to
those surrounding a ship anchored

If you can picture in your minds

nearly fifteen thousand feet from the
bottom of the sea, but protruding less
than three hundred feet above the
surface of it, and reaching ont for
nearly twenty miles like the half clos
cd claw of some monster bird, you
can form a rough idea of that ocean
oasis, Bermuda. While discovered
in 1915 by Juan Bermudez, a Portu-
guese in command of a Spanish eXpe-
dition, it was colonized and settled
by the British in 1912. The consen-
sus of opinion of early chron clers
appears to be that the Spaniards en-
tertained superstitious belief that
the spot was the abode of devils, and
abandoned 1t in fear and dread. This
conclusion, however, is not compati-
BILE with the character Of the early
Spanish explorers, who, fired by the
