LOUIS EXPOSITION WILL BE GREATEST EVER HELD 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 nr.a- a little more than two months before tho gates will open upon the World's Fair at St. I.ouis and the public will be invited to see the 'greatest exposition that has ever been created. The vast exhibit palaces are complete and many of them have been finished for 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 fresh 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 1 sees this great collection of exhibit palaces and countless other buildings, the more deeply impressed he be comes with the grandeur of tho under taking. As the days grow longer and tho air becomes balmy with the breezes of spring, the Exposition will take on far greater activity than it has seen during the boisterous days of winter. in spite of the severe weather, work has not ceased upon the construction of the World's Fair for more than a day or two at a time and j there is every expectation and prom- i ise that it will be complete on the opening day. The buildings and grounds, magnifl- ; been loth to believe surh a statement. But such is the tact. The exhibit pal aces of the Louisiana Purchase Ex position average much larger than those of Chicago and are greater in number. About 130 acres of floor space are provided in the various pal aces of the present World's Fair ami 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 ami cars. At the Chicago Exposition there were practically no outdoor ex hibits. At this World's 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 throe important depart ments. At the World's Fair in St. Louis four buildings, covering forty five acres, are giveu up to the same four departments. The total cost of the World's 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 milliou dollars. Exposition season, thousands of birds representing many species aud climes. The largest hotel ever built, contain ing 2.3'ii) rooms, is within the World * Fair grounds. The largest etatue ever cast will stand in the Palace of Mines and Metallurgy as the exhibit of the Iron Industries of Birmingham, Ala.

Kifty-one nations of the world and all of the states of the American Union will be represented in this extensive portrayal of the world's present-day effort. Those who are familiar with the Columbian Exposition a: Chicago have often asked if the Louisiana Pur chase Exposition would equal in ex tent or grandeur the celebrated Ex position of 18!)3. When told hat it would be twice as large In extent of . grounds and 50 per cent larger in exhibit space in buildings, they have ' To mention the big things of the ' World’s Fair of 1904 would be to give ! a catalogue of the greatest achieve ments of man in many lines of en deavor. For example: We shall see the largest locomotive ever built, j weighing ninety-five tons and having twelve driving whqpls. 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 coast defense guns manufactured for the United States government. In the Government Building, which is the largest exhibit building ever erected by federal authority at an Exposition, there will lie a model of a half of a battleship for the Navy display. The United States Government has also erected a bird cage so large that tall trees grow within the inclosure, in j which will be held captive during the tilde, and an amusement street a mile long, containing the most novel and wonderful entertainments, will furnish diversion to the guests of the Exposi tion. All St. Louis Is preparing for the World's Fair, which will open on April 30 next and continue for seven months. Hundreds of buildings have been remodeled into hotels, and thou sands of homes have l>pen listed, upon invitation of the World's Fair manage ment, to help care for the visitors. Every preparation has been made for a ppriod of unusual festivity, rnd 8t. Louis expects to give her visitors a delightful season of sight seeing and entertainment. Thirty-five miles of roadway have been constructed within the World's Fair grounds. MARKETING FOR THE SEA COW. It Is Necessary Now to Cut Through Ice to Get at the Eel Grass. The man who does the marketing for the Aquarium's sea row has had to do some lively hustling this winter to keep that big animal supplied with food. The sea cow Is eight foot long, weighs 800 pounds, and has a healthy appetite. In the first eighteen weeks cfter 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 ttlva, 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 cow s table are gathered in Gravesend Hay or the waters there with conneetrd. Hay men say that the present has been the hardest winter hereabouts on th*- water in twenty five years. On many days it has been nec essary to cut through the Ice to get at the eel grass required for the sea row's food, sometimes through ice ten inches in thickness and often through ice of five or six inches. Sometimes when Ihe 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 would lie necessary to rut holes in It to get at the eel grass below. So the work of supplying the sea cow's table lias been so far this win ter attended by more or less difficulty, but there lias never been a day on which the sea cow lias had to go hun gry. New York Sun. Brain Growth. Hrain development is found by Prof. Scgg*l of Munich to have two periods ! of acceleration—from 10 to 11 and from 17 to 18 in girls, and from 12 to 13 hnd 19 to 20 in boys. At the period of most rapid increase in height—from 12 to 14 years -the growtli 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 i 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 them did so by placing his horse in the auto's track, compell ing it to come to a standstill. In court the Frenchman was amazed at the cause of his arrest, lie took the sig nals of the officers as eonimendat ious and congratulations :.nd turned on more power to show them v hat. h« could do. The lesson cost him $3. French Taxes Increase. Returns of the revenue from Indi rect taxes in France in 1903 show that receipts amounted to $308,380,380. an increase of $26,557,580 over the esti mates, and $30,175,860 over 1902. before me and «ub«erl’ieStick i.arxnRY m.rr Won’t spill, break, freeze nor spot clothe*, fonts 10 cents and equals CO cents worth of any other bluing.
