anew as Chairman Rosewater, after short
speech, which could not lie heard, handel

Finn again demanded attention from his
place in the Pennsylvania section but was
disregarded. minute afterward Senator
Root stepped to the front Of the platform

Said They Would Walk Out.
The Taft men know all this, and they
are determined 70 push their man
through, II possible, in the face OF an
almost certain bolt There will be a
big fight before the credentials commit
tee, and that eight may be brought "a
the floor on a minority report where the
whole thing will be thrashed out again.
Sooner or later, If the Roosevelt men
lose. they will be face to face with the
proposition OF walking out Of the con-
vention. Their leaders say they will
walk out at the proper time, provided
they lose.
So the highly complex situation has
simplifed TO that degree. There has
been a test vote. The Taft man won
by narrow margin, but il must not be
taken from this that the vote for Root
shows the Taft strength. on the vote
for McGovern shows the Roosevelt
strength Root had votes that will not

Jumping Jack Tara.

The rhythmic jumping of $50 blue
jackets saved H. NJ. S. Commonwealth
from the fate Of the Montagu when
she ran aground in q dangerous place.
The battleship Montagu was aban-
doned as hopeless wreck OF the Cor
nish coast, but her sister ship, the
Commonwealth, was safely got OF by
the muscular exertion of her crew.
The Commonwealth ran on to an
uncharted rock when returning from
target practice, and was lady dam
aged. She was SO nicely balanced in
her lodgment, however, that 1t was
decided. after reversing the engines

experiment of mastering all the avail
able hands on the extreme aft, and
setting them to jump In unison. The
regular jumping Of twenty-five tons
Of solidly-built seamen had the effect
of making the huge vessel rock see
saw fashion until she gradually fioated
OF with the rising tide. In fifteen
minutes she was afioat, and saved.

CHANGES IN FLOWERS
MODERN TASTE As COMPARED
WITH OTHER YEARS.
Gardens Of Today Would Be ThlngS
Of Wonder to Our Ancestors
All Countries Called on for
Beauty Of Color.

1t IL a truly astonishing thing to re
fleet that Shakespeare. for all his love
Of flowers, would have been able 70
name scarcely q single bloom in q
twentieth century garden, says the
Strand. He would hardly have been
able to distinguish the queen Of flow
ers itself, 80 greatly has the rose

As-for the begonias, the chrysanthe.
NUNS, the dahlias, the geraniums, the
fuschias and carnations; these were
unknown even to our great.gfandfath.
ers. Many Of our most beautiful flow
ers are purely modern productions.
Three centuries ago there were no
flower gardens in England. What
were then thought OF as gardens were
herbaria, places where rosemary, mint,
rue. thyme and sage grew, and per-
haps few primitive blooms, such rs
violets and primroses, were suffered
to exist, much as poppies and corn.
flowers do today.
Many we'll known plants have been
developed from specimens discovered
in various parts OF the world, and there
Is no doubt that number OF charm
ing novelties are still lurking undis-
covered In remote spots. The chances
of valuable finds are, however, becom-
ing unfortunately less every year. A
small army of collectors is always at
work In every corner OF the world
searching for new treasures to enrich
our floral store.
From South America came many
years ago the recently questionable
fuschia; from the hills OF northern
India and Tibet have been brought
many useful varieties; from China we
have had among other things many
new primulas; Japan has yielded
wonderful irises; Africa many varied
plants, usually OF most brilliant and
gorgeous coloring; while numerous
charming members OF the narclssus
family have been discovered in the
Pyrenees.
But this cannot continue indefinite.
ly, and even in the realm OF orchids,
for which perhaps the most systematic
search OF all is made, there is not
much left to be explored. For our fu-
ture novelties we shall have to rely
then chiefly on the skill OF our hybrid
lists, who are constantly engaged in
mating different species OF the same
family OF plants, and our cross fertil-
izers, who are doing similar work with
different varieties of the same species.
The flowers OF today are the result OF
cross.breeding. stimulated by electri-
city, drugs and hot water baths.
