ST LOUIS EXPOSITION WILL BE
GREATEST EVER MEL ON EARTH
Estimated Cost Exclusive of the Value of the Exhibits Is from
Forty to Fifty Million Dollars Miles of Wonderful
Displays in More Than Twenty Buildings
It is
months
now a little more than two
before the antes will open
upon the Worlds Fair at St Louis and
the public will be invited to see the
greatest exposition that has ever been
created Ti vast exhibit palaces are
complete aid many of them have been
finished lor several months Within
the next two months all of them are
to bo brightened with new coats of
paint so that on the opening day the
magnificent array of palaces will ap
pear as lresh as a newly blossomed
rose
No one no matter how vivid his im
agination can picture to himself the
scene that will be presented when the
Exposition is complete The more one
sees this great collection of exhibit
palaces and countless other buildings
the more deeply impressed he be
comes with the grandeur of the under
talcing As the days grow longer and
tho air becomes balmy with the
breezes of spring tho Exposition will
take on far greater activity than it
has seen during tho boisterous days
of winter In spite of the severe
weather work has not ceased upon the
construction of the Worlds Fair for
more than a day or two at a time and
there is every expectation and prom
ise that it will be complete on the
opening day
The buildings and grounds
food
The sea cow is
been loth to believe such a statement
But such is the lact The exhibit pal
aces of tho Louisiana Purchase Ex
position average much larger than
those of Chicago and are greater in
number About 130 acres of lloor
space are provided in the various pal
aces of the present Worlds Fair and
more than twenty buildings will be
used for exhibit purposes The larg
est of these is the Palace of Agricul
ture which covers twenty acres The
next in size is the Palace of Transpor
tation covering fifteen acres and con
taining four miles of railway tracks
for the exhibit of locomotives and
cars At the Chicago Exposition
there were practically no outdoor ex
hibits At this Worlds Fair about 100
acres are given up to outdoor displays
supplementing in a most pleasing
manner the hundreds of thousands of
indoor exhibits At the Chicago Ex
position one building was used for
no less than three important depart
ments At the Worlds Fair in St
Louis four buildings covering forty
five acres are given up to the same
four departments
The total cost of the Worlds Fair
is estimated at from forty to fifty
million dollars exclusive of the value
of the exhibits The Palace of Ma
chinery alone will contain exhibits to
the value of eight million dollars
AT THE WORLDS FAIR ST LOUIS
To mention the big things of the
Worlds Fair of 1904 would be to give
a catalogue of the greatest achiee
ments of man in many lines of en
deavor For example We shall see
the largest locomotive ever built
weighing ninety five tons and having
twehe driving wheels We shall hear
the largest organ in the world in the
most beautiful festival hall ever built
We shall see some of the greatest sea
coasrt defense guns manufactured for
the United States government In the
Government Building which is the
largest exhibit building ever erecied
by federal authority at an Exposition
there will be a model of a half of a
battleship for the Xavy display The
United States Government has also
erected a bird cage so large that tall
trees grow within the inclosure in
which will be held captive during the
at the eel grass required for the sea
cows food sometimes through ice ten
inches in thickness and often through
ice of five or six inches
Sometimes when the ice had moved
out with a shift of the wind leaving
open spaces access to the eel grass
would be easy but frequently the ice
would have closed in and then it
eight foot long i would be necessary to cut holes in it
weighs S00 pounds and has a noalthy
appetite In the first eighteen weeks
after its arrival here from Florida on
Sept 3 last it ate ninety bushels of
eel grass six bushels of fennel leafed
pond weed and two bushels of uiva
or sea lettuce making ninety eight
bushels of aquatic plants in all in
eighteen weeks or an average of
about five and one half bushels a
week which is about its present rate
of consumption
The eel grass and other things for
the sea cows table are gathered in
Gravesend Bay or the waters there
with connected Baymen say that the
present has been the hardest w nter
hereabouts on tho water in twenty five
rears On many days it has been nec
essary to cut through the ice to get
Swiss Industrial Schools
schools for
There are industrial
clock and watch making in Geneva
Locle etc there are
art and industrial working schools in
Zurich and other cities for women
and there are industrial schools for
the hand trades in most of the cities
The subjects
and towns of the country
jects taught in these schools are drawing
bookkeeping
ing arithmetic geography
ing German French and practical in
struction in the trade chosen by the
pupil
to get at the eel grass below
So the work of supplying the sea
cows table has been so far this win
ter attended by more or less difficulty
but there has never been a day on
which the sea cow has had to go hun

Brain Growth
Brain development is found by Prof
Seggel of Munich to have two periods
of acceleration from 10 to 11 and
from 17 to 18 in girls and from 12 to
13 and 19 to 20 in boys At the period
of most rapid increase in height from
12 to 14 years the growth of the
brain is less than one hundredth that
of the body but at 17 to 19 it grows
one thirtieth as fast and at 20 reaches
one seventh of the body growth

HE DID NOT UNDERSTAND
Amusing Error of Frenchman
That
Cost Him 5
A French visitor to New York an
enthusiastic automobilist has learned
a lesson as to how things are done
in America On several occasions
when speeding a machine through
Central park he has seen policemen
hold up a hand The result was an
increase of speed and a wave of the
hand in return The police have been
in the hopes of catching him and
finally one of tnem did so by placing
his horse in the autos track compell
ing it to come to a standstill In court
the Frenchman was amazed at the
cause of his arrest He took the sig
nals of the officers as commendations
and congratulations nd turned on
more power to show them vhat he
could do The lesson cost him S3
French Taxes Increase
Returns ot the revenue from indi
rect taxes in France in 19C3 show that
receipts amouned to GCSC8o2S0 an
increase of 2t3o7iSt over the esti

prey as neatly as an ordinary fish The
starfish lies upon its prey and folds

folds of the stomach The mouth o
