PRESIDENT TAFT, in q speech
al Springfield, Mass, on Thursday,
Apri Is, expressed great indignation
and mentioned Colonel Roosevelt by
name repeatedly in a way that was
not at all complimentary. Mr.. Taft
told a crowd that filled Springfield's
Public Square how he believed Mr..
Roosevelt had not given him a
square deal" and how he had ''mis.
stated and distorted" the facts
concerning Mr.. Taft's conduct and az
tons IN the White House.
He concluded his speech with a
solemn warning to the people OF the
United states that in Roosevelt they
we're In danger Of a dictator. who
cree he received a third term, would
cling lie a leech to the White
House and never leave II until death
removed him"

Even tho Flowers Have Nerves.

Why does the sun-dew not put Its
Isaf-tentacles in operation when rain.
Crops fall on them. and yet is quick
% capture a fly? writes Andrew VII.
son in the Illustrated London News.
rhe only possible reply Is that the
plant has learned to distinguish be.
tween contact which means food and
that which implies only the needed
Ssin.
The sensitive plant (Mimosa) droops
Ne leaves on the slightest touch, but
not when it is watered. Placed In a
carriage such a plant lowers Its leaves
at first when the carriage moves, but
soon, accustomed to the motion, ex'
pands them. You can give sensitive
plant ether and abolish its sensitive
Asss, just as you rob the animal OF its
consciousness when you administer
the anaesthetics.
Clearly we have TO revise all our
actions of plant nervousness II we
would explain the actions even Of the
daisies which shut up their petals
when the wind blows and open them
v1der the influence Of sunshine.

FIRST OF THE WHITE RACES
Population Of Russia and Its Provinces
Shown by Recent Census to Be
Over 10000, 900.

We gather from the Russian Year
Book" that on January l, 1910, the
population OF Russia amounted to
160, ,74S.4 400. and together with the Fin
nish provinces the total population
amounted to 1S3.77S,S0O people. In
1914 years, from the autumn of 1897
to January, 1911, in spite of war,
cholera and famine the Russian pop
ulation has increased by 33,199,OOO
In point OF numbers Russia is first Of
all the white races.
The vast population is not entirely
OF Russian race; the empire counts
10 per cent of Tartars, 6 per cent.
Of Poles and considerable number Of
Lithuanians, Let's, Films and Jews.
In territorial extent Russia is the
largest country In the world. 1t is
A times as big as France.
Three-quarters of the population
are, 1t Is said. engaged in agriculture,
10 per cent. in various industries, 4-6
per cent. in private service, 3,S per
cent. in trade. All other occupations
do not engage more than 7.5 per cent.
Although in Russia agriculture is
generally the predominating occupa'
tion the largest proportion Of people
employed in this pursuit is found In
Central Asia, about SO per cent; the
second place is taken by Siberia, over
so per cent; followed by the eau
causus, about 70 per cent, and Po-
land, with only 56.6 per cent. On the
other hand, Industrial pursuits, min
ing Industries, etc, are more devel
oped in Poland, which engage l5.4
per cent of the population employed;
then comes European Russia about
10 per cent. the last places being
taken by the Caucasus and Central
Asia.

LOWERED OVER SHIPS MASTS
Commanders Of Vessels Supply New
Information as to Height of At
lantlc Waves.

1t Is very doubtful If the log of any
naval vessel of the world contains rec.
ords equal to those of the Roe Lieut..
Commander c. H. Woodward has
stated that he never expected to bring
his craft through the immense waves.
The Indicator on the bridge, which
was at times the only part Of the ves-
sci out of water, showed that the lit
tie craft rolled 80 degrees, being at
times clear over on her beam ends.
Just at the time when the command.
ers of the little squadron estimated
that the gale was at it's height and
blowing practically 90 miles an hour
the Roe's steering gear gave way and
she dropped into the trough of the
sea. This little vessels masts are
so feet high from the water line, says
the Christian Herald and although it
has been stated that the highest wave
yet recorded upon the Atlantic ocean
was not more than 80 feet in height,
Commander Woolward's estimate that
the waves of the recent storm over
topped his masts by several feet has
been borne out by the officers not only
of the smaller ships but even of the
battleship Delaware.

ALL HAD STARVED TO DEATH
Fishing Colony In the Far North,
Left Without Provisions, Sue
cumbed to Last Individual.

The Russian minister of marine re-
Gently received advices of terrible
occurrence in the far northern island
of Nova Zembla Some time ago the
head of an Archangel firm founded a
fishing colony in Nova Zembla, the
members of which were employed to
fish solely on his account. A steamer
was recently dispatched thither, but
when the crew landed they found not
a single living person. No provisions
had been supplied for the ten months
during which communication with the
island Is impossible, and the entire
colony had perished Of hunger. The
luckess fisherfolk, to judge by pen
ciled notes left by one of the victims,
a man named Chenoff, underwent ter
rible experiences before death over
took them. Chenoff seems to have
been the last man left alive, and saw
all his companions die one after the
other. This is his own account OF his
Impressions: 1--WE are at the end OF
our provisions and We can get moth
ing, not even the tiniest fish. A ship
appears; 1t is fresh delusion, for
she does not come our way. 1t Is ter
rible to see our children dying of
hunger. Driven by necessity, We are
taking the wool Of our clothing and
eating that. The children are
all dead. Only four fishermen and
two women are left alive. We are
suffering horribly. Two fishermen
ate the flesh of the dead, and they
have died as the result. |,
Chenoff, am the only living person
remaining, and | am tracing these
lines. My hands shake, my eyes are
growing dim, and | feel that the end
Is near"

source OF the coolness. Many causes,
that among others. contributed to
bring it about. and prominent among
them was Russia's treatment of Amer
lean citizens of the Jewish faith.
During the negotiations at Ports
mouth that very question was mooted
by deputation of influential American
Jews. Jacob II. Schiff among them,
who were received at the Wentworth
Hotel by Count Witte. They told him
that they were prepared to favor Rus
STA If Russia dealt fairly by them, but
that If they were kept out Of the
Cars dominions like plague-stricken
beings they could and would pay Rus
sia out In the long run. And they re-
quested the great statesman, whose
own wife is daughter of Zion, to use
his influence to better the status OF his
Jewish fellow citizens and Of their
foreign brethren visiting the Slav en-
pire.
1t is known that Count Witte took
cognizance of the warning and stated
that he would accomplish what was
islative and administrative Subse-
quent events have shown the value Of
that promise. The count attained to
the highest post in the empire soon
after that, but presumably he was
powerless. If not unwilling, to accom-
plish anything. Numerous endeavors
have been made since 1906 by influen-
tial personages in various countries to
coax or compel the Cars ministers to
modify the anti-Jewish penal laws or
at least those statutes which tell
against foreign Jews visiting Russia
Among others 1t may be said that
Signor Luzzatti, the ex-Prime Minis
ter OF Italy, bestirred himself more
than once in the same sense But the
fruits of their exertions were prom
ises, and these when tested proved to
be Dead Sea fruit. Today the Jewish
problem in Russia stands where It
then stood

Snakes In india.

Last year 22,47S deaths occurred In
india from snake bites, and 2.40O per
sons were killed by wild animals. The
6saths caused by snakes and wild ami
mails in the province OF Burmah in
1910 amounted to 1878 and so, respec'
lively. The number Of cattle killed in
India amounted to 93.074 by wild AMI
mails and 10000 by snakes. or the
Deaths of cattle in Durham 1851 were
caused by wild animals and 6,bSS by
snakes. Tigers and leopards were the
most destructive animals; elephants,
bears, wolves. hyenas, etc. being also
ssoponslble for fatalities. Rewards
amounting 10 si7725 were paid by the
government for the destruction in all
tadia Of 81, l,1o4 snakes and 1892 wild

Lumber Carried on eurro Back.

The forests of Mexico are situated
chiefly in the mountains at attitudes
sf 5000 TO 10000 feet. In the lowlands
q the tropics there are scattered ma,
hogany trees and variety OF other
hardwood timber. Owing to the inac.
feasibility of many Of the tracts OF
timber in the mountains. comparative.
" few railroads have penetrated them.
The chief means Of getting out the
Soughly hewed timber and bringing 1t
down from the higher attitudes Is by
burros. These little beasts OF burden
have powerful strength and endur.
ance. They follow the narrowest and
most dangerous mountain trails even
when their bodies are loaded with the
weight of enormous timbers. 1t IL
upon the backs OF these burros that
thousands OF railroad crossties were
brought down from the mountains,
thus enabling the construction OF the
more modern lines OF transportation.
