UNDERWOOD DIDN'T KNOW
THOUGHT HIMSELF STILL CANDI.
 DATE BEFORE CONVENTION.
Announcement of His Withdrawal From Race by Manager, How
 ever, Is Approved.

Washington, July 4.-Representa- tive Oscar Underwood, who ran third in the presidential race for 45 ballots, maintained his same calm imperturba- bility when the news of his withdraw al and the stampede to Gov. Wilson was taken to him.
 He was in his office in the capitol, surrounded by many friends in con- gress, Republicans and Democrats alike.
 Underwood has withdrawn" was flashed over the wire.
 The Alabama representative smiled and said:
 "1 did not know that I was with drawing. Senator Bankhead is in charge of my campaign, and my friends there know best what to do. It is news to me, but what the senator says goes"
 Underwood's advice had been that he was to get tryout as the third candidate to break the deadlock. He fully expected that action in the course of the day, and when Virginia voted for Wilson he thought return would be made to the other candi- dates on the succeeding ballot.

glass which have been sought by collectors
and are treasured in museums.
In 1854 Leopold made models of plants in
flower. In 1862 he had completed a col
lection of about sixty specimens of orchids,
modelled in glass.
In 1886 the Blaschkas were induced to
resume the construction of plants in flower.
They also constructed models for zoology.
Since 1890 all their time has been given to
flowers. They used only fresh material; so
had to obtain it close at hand from the neigh
boring greenhouses and gardens, drawing
from the royal gardens of Saxony and
Dresden. America was drawn upon, plants
being sent to be cultivated in the garden of
the Blaschka studio.
In 1892 Rudolph Blaschka came to Amer
ica to study the fora. He made a most
thorough study of plants as to color, also
made microscopic drawings of details and
of species, and took back specimens pre-
served in alcohol and dried for study. He
made collections from all parts of our coun-
try, even the Pacific Coast. During Sec
ond journey in 1895 he was called home by
the death Of his father. The Son is still iv-
ing; but so far has not disclosed the secret
of making glass models from plants, and if he
does not before his death the art will pass
away. -SaLena Sheets MaYtin

GLASS FLOWERS

IN the University Museum of Harvard is
collection of plants modelled in glass. 1t
is wonderful collection both in size and in
the beauty and accuracy of the work. 1t
includes Towering plants, from the simplest
to the most elaborate and complex, being
done in the natural color of the particular
flower modelled, with buds, leaves. and stems.
This is known as the Ware collection. The
plants were modelled by Leopold Blaschka,
founder of the art of modelling specimens in
glass He was born May 27, 1922, in Aicha,
a town in Northern Bohemia. His father
was mechanician in electrical apparatus
and an artifcer in glass. Leopold began work
as goldsmith, devoting himself to cutting
and setting precious stones; but later
changed his work to metal and glass work:
In 1853 he made voyage to the United
States in sailing vessel, making drawings
of marine invertebrates which he collected
and from which he constructed in 1853 the
first glass models for the Natural History
Museum of Dresden. These created wide
notice, and were the beginnings of business
that was limited only because he employed
no assistant but his son.
Rudolph, the son, born in 1857, was ed
ucated to be naturalist, and readily en-
tered into this work with his father. They
studied and made models of marine forms in

he fell sprawling among the aloes.
But this was the only shot fired; for the
attack had been on the center of our line,
and the Indians there had needed no help
of ours in repulsing it. OF all the Apemen
who had rushed out into the open, do not
think one got back to cover.
But the matter was more deadly when we
came among the trees. For an hour or more
after we entered the wood there was des-
perate struggle in which for time we hardly
held our own. Springing out from among
the scrub, the Apemen with huge clubs
broke in upon the Indians and often felled
three or four of them before they could be
speared Their frightful blows shattered
everything upon which they fell. One of
them knocked Summerlee's rifle to match
wood, and the next would have crushed his
skull had not an Indian stabbed the beast to
the heart. Other Apemen in the trees above
us hurled down stones and logs of wood, oc-
casionally dropping bodily on our ranks and
fighting furiously until they were felled.
Once our allies broke under the pressure, and
had it not been for the execution done by our
rifles they would certainly have taken to
their heels. But they were gallantly rallied
by their old chief, and came on with such
rush that the Apemen began in turn to give
way. Summerlee was weaponless; but was
emptying my magazine as quickly as could
fire, and on the farther flank we heard the
continuous cracking Of our companions rifles.
THEN in moment came the panic and the
: collapse. Screaming and bowling, the
great creatures rushed away in all directions
through the brushwood, while our allies
yelled in their savage delight, following
swiftly after their flying enemies. All the
feuds of countless generations, all the hatreds
and cruelties of their narrow history, all the
memories of i'll usage and persecution, were
to be purged that day. At last man was to
be supreme, and the man-beast to find for
ever his allotted place. Fly as they would,
the fugitives were too slow to escape from
the active savages, and from every side in
the tangled woods we heard the exultant
yells, the twanging of bows, and the crash
and thud as Apemen were brought down
from their hiding places in the trees.

that Lord Roxton and Challenger had come

Sleep"
Challenger's eyes were shining with the
lust of slaughter. "We have been privi-
legged, he cried, strutting about like game
cock, ito be present at one of the typical
decisive battles which have determined the
fate of the world. What, my friends, is the
conquest of one nation by another? 1t is
meaningless. Each produces the same re-
suit. But those fierce fights, when in the
dawn of the ages the cave dwellers held their
own against the tiger folk, or the elephants
first found that they had master, those
were the real conquests, the victories that
count. BY this strange turn of Fate we have
seen and helped to decide even such con-
test. Now upon this plateau the future
must ever be for man.

But it was different out upon the rose
tinted waters of the central lake. 1t boiled
and heaved with strange life. Great, slate
colored backs and high, serrated dorsal fins
shot up with fringe of silver, and then
rolled down into the depths again. The
sandbanks far out were spotted with un-
couth crawling forms, huge turtles, strange
saurians, and one great, fiat creature like
writhing, palptating mat of black greasy
leather, which Topped its way slowly to the
lake. Here and there high serpent heads
projected out of the water, cutting swiftly
through it with little collar of foam in
front, and long swirling wake behind, rising
and falling in graceful, swanlike undulations
as they went.
1t was not until one of these creatures
wriggled onto sandbank within a few hun
dred yards of u.s. and exposed a barrel-shaped
body and huge fippers behind the long ser
pent neck, that Challenger and Summerlee,
who had joined us, broke out into their duet
of wonder and admiration.
APlesiosaurus! A freshwater plesiosau-
rus!" cried Summerlee. THAT should have
lived to see such sight! We are blessed,
my dear Challenger, above all biologists
since the world began!'
1t was not until night had fallen, and the
fires of our savage allies gfowed red in the
shadows, that our two men of science could
be dragged away from the fascinations OF
that primeval lake. Even in the darkness
as we lay on the strand, we heard from time
to time the snort and plunge Of the huge
creatures which lived therein.
A T earliest dawn our camp was astir, and
a an hour later we had started upon our
memorable expedition. Often in my dreams
have thought that might live to be a war
correspondent. In what widest one could
l have perceived the nature of the campaign
which it should be my lot to report? Here
then is my first despatch from a field of
battle
Our numbers had been reinforced during
the night by fresh batch of natives from
the caves, and we may have been four or five
hundred strong when we made our advance.
A fringe of scouts were thrown out in front,
and behind them the whole force in solid
column made their way up the long slope
of the bush country until we were near the
edge of the forest Here they spread out
into long, struggling line of spearmen and
bowmen. Roxton and Summerlee took their
position upon the right flank, while Chal-
lenger and were on the left 1t was host
of the Stone Age which we were accompanying
to battle-we with the last word of the gun
smiths art from St. James's-st. and the
Strand!
We had not long to wait for our enemy.
A wild, shrill clarnor rose from the edge of
the wood, and suddenly body of Apemen
rushed out with clubs and stones, and made
for the center of the Indian line. 1t was a
valiant move; but a foolish one, for the
great, bandy-legged creatures were slow of
foot, while their opponents were as active as
cats. 1t was horrible to see the fierce brutes
with foaming mouths and glaring eyes, rush.
ing and grasping but forever missing their
elusive enemies, while arrow after arrow
buried itself in their hides. One great fellow
ran past me roaring with pain, with a dozen
darts sticking from his chest and ribs. In

mocks are made by E. L. Rowe & Son.
Inc. and bear our small silk name label.
We made them first for the U. S. Navy
forty years ago. They have since then
become the most popular piece of porch
furniture all over the world Don't judge
them by the limitations made with light
weight canvas and unskilled workmanship.
The Rowe Gloucester is made of duck
weighing 81 OF. to the yard Fighter weight
is too weak. 1t is made by sailmakers-
no other class of workmen know how to
sew and fit and handle sail canvas so thatit
will wear well and not sag or lose its shape.
Rowes Hammocks have consistently given
ten years of continuous outdoor service. We
nerey had one returned to AS as unsatisfactory.
They are firm, strong, comfortable. They
present essential advantages of which other
makers have not even learned the need.
Some of the dealers selling Rowe's Glouces-
ter Hammocks are named below. Ii you are
not so located as to deal conveniently with
