iKorlds Fair Directors to Erect
Large Stone Pile
TO COST OVER 8350090
Structure to Be Built With Exposition
Surplus Will 3a Repository of
Louisiana Purchase and Other Relics
Statue of Thomas Jefferson to Be a
Feature of the Building
A formal tender to the city of SL
Louis of a memorial building was
made the other night at the St Louis
Country club by officials of the Lou
isiana Purchase Exposition company
The offer was made by President Da
vid It Francis speaking for the board
of directors of whom about seventy
live were present As guests of the
worlds fair officials Mayor Kreismann
and nearly all the city officials were
present the occasion being the sixth
anniversary of the opening of the
worlds fair
The plan of the building as outlined
by Mr Frauds is that it shall cost
from 350000 to 300000 and be locat
ed In SL Louis where De Baliviere
avenue enters Forest park and facing
Lindell avenue The dimensions are
to be 330 by feet with an archway
in the center over De Baliviere avenue
Over this archway the plan contem
plates a dome above which will rise a
statue of Thomas Jefferson
Mr Francis explained that the mo
tive of the directors was to erect a
building that should be a fitting com
memoration of the worlds fair of SL
Louis and of the part that Thomas
Jefferson took in making the Louisiana
purchase the event the worlds fair
celebrated The work on the statue
of Jefferson is now under way Carl
Bitter chief of sculpture at the worlds
fair having the commission
Structure to Be of Stone
The building is to be of stone and
the space on either side of the dome
crowned archway is to be used as a

DAVID H FBAXClb
repository of the records of the worlds
fair and of historical data connected
with St Louis and -the Louisiana pur
chase The city officials present were
well pleased with the formal offer of
the directors The offer will be re
ferred to the board of public Improve
ments and then a recommendation of
this board will be made to the munici
pal assembly and an ordinance framed
for the acceptance of the building
The memorial building is to be paid
for out of a surplus that remains in
the treasurer of the exposition This
surplus Is partly due to a waiver on the
part of the United States to a claim
on a part of the receipts The surplus
Is about the amount the contemplated
building will cost
The building will be approximately
on the site of the main entrance to the
worlds fair
Pantheon For St Louis Immortals
During the discussion of the build
ing and Its uses one suggestion that
found favor was that a part of it
probably one wing be made into a
pantheon to contain busts and pic
tures of men who have done some
thing for St Louis

The Harvard University corporation
has decided that a single official crim

than the tint now used which be
comes dull and brownish when con
trasted with the new color The ath

AN ARCTIC CAMP
Pearys Canvas Tents Which Were
Absolutely Snow Proof
A mans first night in a canvas tent
in the arctic is likely to lie rather
wakeful says Commander Peary in
Hamptons The ice makes mysteri
ous noises the Iojs hark and tkht out
side the tiiit where they are tethered
and as three Eskimos and one white
man usually occupy a small tent and
the oil stove is left burning all night
the air notwithstanding the cold is
not owrpure and sometimes the Kski
tnos begin chanting to the spirits of
their ancestors in the middle of the
night Sometimes too the new mans
nerves are tried by hearing wolves
howl in the distance
Tiie tents are specially made They
are of lightweight canvas and the
Hour of the tent is sewed directly Into
it The Sly is sewed up a circular
opening in it just large enough to ad
mit a man and that opening tilted
with a circular Hap which is closed by
a drawstring making the tent abso
lutely snow proof An ordinary tent
when the snow is Hying would be tilled
in no time
The tent is pyramidal with one polo
in the center and the edges are usual
ly held down by the sledge runners or
by snowshoes used as tent pegs The
men sleep on the floor in their clothes
with a musk ox skin or a couple of
deerskins wrapped around them
The kitchen box for our sledge
journeys is simply a wooden box con
taining two double burner oil stoves
with four inch wicks The two cook
ing pots are the bottoms of Ove gallon
coal oil tins fitted with covers When
packed they are turned bottom side up
over each stove and the hinged corer
of the wooden box is closed
On reaching camp whether tent or
snow igloo the kitchen box is set
down inside The top of the box is
turned up and keeps the heat of the
stove from melting the wall of the
igloo or burning the tent The hinged
front of the box is turned down and
forms a table The two cooking pots
are filled with pounded ice and put on
the stove When the ice melts one pot
is used for tea and the other may be
used to warm beans or to boil meat if
there is any
Each man has a quart cup for tea
and a hunting knife which serves
many purposes lie does not carry a
fork and one teaspoon is considered
quite enough for a party of four Each
man helps himself from the pot sticks
in his knife and fishes out a piece of
meat
The theory of field work Is that
there shall be two meals a day one
in the morning and one at night As
the days grow short the meals are tak
en before light and after dark leaving
the period of light entirely for work
Sometimes it is necessary to travel
twenty four hours without stopping for
food

Among the true cobras of India the
uaja is found all over India and
Ceylon Burma the Andaman islands
southern China and the Malay penin
sula and archipelago It ascends the
nimilayas to an altitude of S000 feet
It extends also over Afghanistan and
through Persia to the eastern shore of
the Caspian It may attain a length of
nearly seven and a half feet but it is
usually not more than a little over
five and a half feet long Najas vary
much in color and markings but have
generally the spectacle mark on the
back of the neck which they always
distend before making an attack
Fish In Former Times
Men of former ages unless they lived
near the sea or a river had great diffi
culties in gratifying their taste for fish
The great houses had their fish ponds
or stews but sea fish such as cod
bream sturgeon herring and sprats
were salted and the excessive con
sumption of highly salted fish in the
middle ages is said to have produced
leprosy Fish was also baked in pies
to enable it to be carried for great
distances

NATIONAL EOT
MOVEMENT
Scope of Project Formulated by
Highway Protective Society
SIMILAR TO ENGLISH BODY
One Aim of the Organization Is to Get
City Boys Off the Streets Basic Idea
Is to Further the Interests of Good
Roads Many Lads Anxious to Be
come Scouts
To save boys who have a tendency
to fall into tho delinquent class the
National Highway Protective society
in New York has formulated a com
prehensive plan to provide additional
playgrounds for children and a boys
scout organization similar to that
which has proved so successful In
England The support of Slayor Gay
nor of New York city will be enlisted
by the society and an appeal will be
made to every patriotic person for
contributions to the necessary fund to
engineer the scheme The project had
its inception about a month ago Colo
nel Edmoud S Cornell secretary of
the National nighway Protective so
ciety in outlining tho scope of the
plan said that the basic idea of tho
scouts organization is to further tin
Interests of good roads from coast to
coast
i How he asks can an army move
unless it has proper roads
I At a recent meeting of representa
tives of childrens aid societies of New
York city at which Colonel Cornell j
jiresHieu a ciiiiiiiiiuuo vl iivu was ap
pointed to request Slayor Gaynors
help in liaviug the city permit the use
of its unused property and of school
lots in summer as playgrounds The
advisability of asking owners of
cant lots to let them be used for ball
games etc was discussed A K
Wing couuel for the New York
Transportation company will take
charge of this plan The need of quick
action was emphasized by the report
that the number of children killed in
the streets was increasing with every
month
i But the principal object of the socie
ty is to put on foot the scout move
ment
In every locality it Is argued there
are many boys In summer who have
nothing to do but play on the streets
Slany would be glad to do something
worth while It is purposed to take
these boys ranging in years from
twelve to seventeen and organize them
into military companies
Scope of Their Field Work
The boys will spend the time out
doors mapping the roads constructing
bridges and performing other field
work An aeroplane department will
furnish plenty of excitement and in
struction in the fundamental principles
of aviation In short the scope of
work will encompass the latest scien
tific fields including wireless telegra
phy Aside from an effort to build up
character such as will mature into ex
cellent citizenship material the boys
will be taught to render the govern
ment a direct service it is believed
by gradually acquiring much desired
information that would prove valuable
in time of war
Primarily the scouts movement was
conceived by General Baden Powell of
England to instill and stimulate a mili
tant national patriotism He evolved
the idea of combining self sacrifice
self discipline and national service
with a dash of attractive amusement
in educating boys The moral and so
cial influence has been very marked in
England it is claimed
Chief among the basic elements of
appeal in tho scout movement is the
fact that it enables every boy to live
in a degree a life of adventure and dis
covery so dear to the puerile heart
Colonel Peter S Bomus TJ S A
retired has been chosen to head the
scout movement In the United States
His election as commander in chief
seems to have been a happy choice for
Colonel Bomus has an attractive per-
t
that should appeal to the boys
I Furthermore he has been an Indian
fighter and has seen service in the
Philippines Colonel Gifford Hurry of
New York has been appointed treas
urer of the organization
Many Wish to Become Scouts
An effort is now being made to en-
list the right kind of men in every
state in the Union to take charge of
the movement in different localities
A number of applications have already
been received but the society is tak
ing every precaution to secure the Le t
available state commanders If sutli
cient funds are obtained in time the
scouts will take the field this summer
I Already the plan has met with an
unexpected demonstration of enthusi
asm The other day nearly a hundred
ambitious youngsters charged upon the
1 offices of the National Highways asso
l ciatlon in New York cit in an effort
to enlist They were informed that
their applications were premature
Men in the regular army and national
guard have offered their assistance
These volunteers are located as far
away as Fort Riley in Kansas and
Georgia
j No one of doubtful character age or
physique will be admitted In the
ganlzation As soon as these and simi
lar preliminary matters have been
posed of recruiting stations will be
opened and the enrollment commenced
