. WHAT AMERICANS SPEND. The Round Trip Ticket to Europe Represents About a Quarter of the Average Expenditure. " Every year Americans spend abroad a constantly increasing sums of money, says tienry C. Nicholas in Public Opinou. Before leaving for Europe the tourist purchases a letter of credit covering the sum which he expect? to spend while abroad These letters of credit are purchased m?i* ly from Wall street bankers,and give a founda? tion to work upon in est:mating the amount of monev annually spent abroad un vacations. Experts ou foreign ex? change agree that fer the Jasfc five years an averaee of .more than $100, 000.000 a year has been spent by American tourists abroad. Present in? dications are that fully 150,000 cabin pasengeis wiil cross the Atlantic east? ward this year, and the cost of the vacations of these 150,000 tourists will amount to notless than $150,000,000 or an average of about $1,(;00 apiece Cf this amount ?37,500,000 represent passage money paid into tue treasuries cf the various steamship lines. This figure is based on an estimated average of $250 a round trip for each cabin passenger, ?ceordtiig to * ell-inform? ed steamship officials, this estimate is if aythiug. toe conservative. Fully one-half cf the passengers crossing the Atlantic in the first cabin pay more than that one way, while many pay many times that amonnt. The average, however, would be about S250 fer each cabin passenger, or a total of $37,500,000 for the 150,000 passenge s who will go to Europe this year. According to foreign exchange ex? perts, the average tourists spends abroad three times the cost of fcis = round-trip ticket across the Atlantic. Tbis would give an average expendi? ture abroad per ton rst of $750, which is declaTedto be weil within the mark. This wonld indicate that the 150,000 " tourists who will go to Europe this summer will spend abroad, a total of $112.500,000. Add the passenger fares across the Atlantic and voa have a -grand total of $150,000.000. represent? ing what the annual Earopean vacati? on of Uncle Sam's citizens will cost this country this year. If this $150,000,000 was kept at home it would pry the entire expenses of GreateiJNew York for a 12-month and leave a handsome turpins remaning. It would Durcbase all of the seats, on the New York Stock Exchange at the highest price at which a seat has ever sold, and leave a balance almost suffi ciectgto move the wheat crops of the nation from farm to market It wonld he more? than sufficient to defray the pension list of the United Slates Gov? ernment for one year. Gomez No 3Iore. Elbert Hubbard, brushed by the divine afflatus, arose from the table snd dashed off his ''Letter To Garcia" that thrilled a nation under arms.

THE BOWEX-LOOMIS CASE. President Roosevelt, as Well as Sec retary Taft, Take Sides With Loomis. Washington. Jane 20.-The dismis j sal of Herbert W. Bowen, for som. jears United States minister to Ven ezuela, ?ud tbe exoneration of Assi* taut Secretary of State Francis B. Loomis, of the allegations brough against him by Mr.- Bowen, are the ! outcome of the Loomis-Bowen contro I veris? w hich bas attracted wide as ? tention for mauy months pese. This ? disposition of the case is made by Pres? ident Roosevelt in a letter addressed to Secretary Taft, made po bile to ? nisht, approving Mr. Taft's report ou his findings and conclusions in the case. The Fresident scathingly ar? raigns Minsiter Bowen, declaring that bis conduct "is fsoecially reprehensi? ble :" that Mr. Bowen asked one of bis witnesses to sinter the employ of a certain company for the purpose, "in plain words, of stealing" documents which, he hoped, might incriminate Mr. Loomis, and that Mr. Bowen has "evidently for many months, indeed, for the last two years? devoted him? self" to bunting np scandal and gossip until it became a monomania, and caused bim " to "show complete disloyal? ty" to che country he represented. The President says he had boped to promote Mr. Bowen, as during much of his service he bad one good work, but that bis usefulness in the diplomat? ic service is now at an end. The Pres? ident adds that he would direct that Mr Bowen's resignation be requested, but for his statement that he would con? sider a resignation an admission of misconduct, aud his dismissal is ; therefore ordered. The President states that it appears that Mr. Bow? en, while minister promised the pub? lication of attacks OD Mr. Loomis and furnished to the press documents pend? ing before the State department for approval, and that his explanation is inexcusable, and shows his"'eutire un? fitness" for the service. Even if Mr. Loomis had been guilty, says the President, Mr. Bowen's conduct wonld be unpardonable. The latter quotes certain correspondence and testimony. The report of Secretary Taft on tte case, on which the President's action is based, is a voluminous document reviewing the charges and the evidence taken. In his report Secretary Taft says that there was nothing dishonorable in the transactions in "which Mr. Loomis figured, but that he was not discreet. The report says that Mr. Loomis was not justified in becoming per^ortally interested in any of the schemes, either with a mere nominal interest or a substantial interest. Be holds, however, that Mr. Loomis has been "most cruelly slandered," com? mends him for the self restraint witn w hieb he has met the charges, and pointe out that Mr. Loomis's bitter experience in this case makes it un? necessary to point out tbe moral that a minister cannot afford i a the country to which he is accredited to make per? sonal investments. Discovery of a Successful Soil Inocu? lation Method. T. R. Robinson, of the Department of Agriculture,, Washington, writes as follows in the Country Calendar for June. " The bacteria of the soil known as ni trogen-fixers are decidedly of the beneficial order. The particular group which nature bas adapted to infect the roots of leguminous plants (peas, beans, etc. ) promises to become, at no distant date, au important factor in agriculture. The conception that these myriads of protein-builders could be enlisted in the work of maintaining and extending tbe available sources of tiie world's food supply is to some not so new. as to be startling. The researches of several famous German scientists, notably Nobe and El i Itu er, showed irearly a decade ago the possi? bilities along'this line. "After trying numerous combina? tions, the key-note was struck in the omission from the medium nf all com? bined nitrogen; forcing tbe bacteria to utilize for their very existence, tbe nitrogen in the air about them. A further step was made in findng that this medium need not be solidified with gelatine, as was previously supposed. The production of a pure culture in liquid form was of vital importance, aa influencing the effective power of the organisms and the ultimate meth? od of distribution. "The liquid culture, furthermore, renders possible a manner of distribu? tion at once simple and effective. Using an absorbent, such as cotton, tbe oaeteria are taken up, and, after the cotton is carefully dried, they re? main dormant in much the same way as set-ds. waiting for the oroper con? ditions to revive them. When again immersed in water, even after a year's interval, growta is promptly resumed. It thus becomes an easy matter tosend quarter of the worldd a dry culture whose action,'nuder the proper condi? tions, can be predicted with as much certainty as that of yeast cultures or yeast cakt s,*o commonly used as leaven To basteu the growth of the organ isms, it was found exp' dient to furnish witti the cort?n starter certain nutrient salts, carefully proportioned to the amount of liquid culture to be prepar? ed. With the food thus supplied, two days gives a growth of bacteria seffici eut to change clear water to a milky liquid, ready to treat seed or soil.

Manning, of Sumter, vice president of the Sumter T?l?phone Manufactur? ing Company, is hi the city on busi? ness. Mr. Manning, who is an inter? esting talker, spoke today to a Record represeirative quite interestingly of his company and Sumter'3 outlook. Said Mr. Manning:"! have just ar? rived in Washington for the purpose of probably selling a t-ousand or r> ore of phon^? to the government. They are largely u *d by the signai service. "I have never know:i the company to do a better buisuess than we arr doing at this time Without telling the aggregate amount of cur annual sales, I will say that we are receiving so many orders for our phones that w bave nov recalled every agent from the road, in other word-; we have no need to drum trade-enough comes witbout.it. Continuing Mr. Manning said: f Yes, Sumter and South Carolira are all right. We are hoping to build a new railroad soon from McBee, on the Seaboard Air Lire, to Charleston, via .Sumter. Some of pur best local men are behind the movement and I have no doubt that it wiJl..be built soon. At this time the. Atlantic Coast Line is our principal railroad." Mr. C. T: Mason, also of Sumter, and president of the Sumter Tele? phone company, is with Mr. ManniDg at the Raleigh. In speaking to a Record rep-esentative Mr. Mason said : [ am justly prend of Sumter and the record she, is making in the industrial world The railroads, it is true, have done a great deal for us in recent years, but all of the people in my town are industrious and thrift and have done a great deal towards helping themselves. ! "Abone eight years ago we began manufacturing telephones and can truthfully say that our business bas increased so steadily that at this time we are running on full time to supply orders receh ,d from all over the w orld. We now have something like three or four acres of floor space in our main factory and we emplov about turee hundred men in the work. While Mr. Manning is vice president of the com? pany I am tlie head of the mechanical department and we are here now iu answer-to inquiries sent out by the government tor phoue manufacturers to submit bids for supplying several thousand phones." Mr. Yates Snowden, who was a few days ago elected to the chair of history and political economy in the South Caroilna college will leave the city for New York tomorrow to continue bis studies fie will after remaining in New Yo?k for a month, return, in all probability, to Columbia, and take part in tbe summer school work. Speaking of bis election to the chair in tbe college, Mr. Snowden said to day: "It is entirely unnecessary for me to express the way I feel at having been elected to sach a place. While I realize that perhaps none can fill tbe chair of Prof. Means Davis with such splendid success as he did, I consider it an honor which I never dreamed of receiving to hold a chair in such an historic institution as the South Caro ins college I wll remove to Colum? bia by the opening of the next session in September.''-W.

There are millions of acres of arid land upon the globe, much of it, even wit!? the most persistent irrigation, yielding but scantily, and enormous reaches of it devoid of all growth but the cactus a foe to man and beast : but Mr. Burbank resolved that he would reclaim it, not by irrigation, though welcoming its aid, but by means of the debert itself-the desert and its cactus.' its heat and its sun. So for a period of over ten years he has worked with the utmost persistence and skill until at last he has developed a cactus plant which will convert tbs desert into a garden. He has made the cactus tnornless, taking from its leaves the bard, woody substance, the spicules, so dangerous to animal life. More than tbs, he has made it adaptable TO any climate. He has bred this dread? ed scourge of the desert, this pariah among plants, until it bas become the producer of a delightful, nutritious food for man and beast-until, in his estimate, considering the unused acres of the world where it will thrive, it will afford food for twice the people now upon the earth.-'Century Maga? zine.

Mr. J.

If the rabbits could be got together they would weigh more than the fifty million sheep." There is no mistake about the truth of thi?, for whilst the traveler through? out the interior of South Australia rarely sees a sheep (tbe runs are fuKy stocked with about 4 sheep to the square mile), hordes of rabbits are seen everywhere. Samples of meat ex trsct prepared from rabbits have been submitted to medical men, matrons of hospitals, and chemists, ard it is said that they have unanimously testified to its value as a delicious, delicate and strengthening food for invalids.
