ST. 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.

representing many species aud climes.
The largest hotel ever built, contain

are devoted to the garden of roses.
Twenty acres are set apart for the ac
commodation of airships, which will

Those who are familiar with the
Columbian Exposition a: Chicago have
often asked if the Louisiana Pur

tent or grandeur the celebrated Ex
position of 18!)3. When told hat it
would be twice as large In extent of .

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.

How the Starfish Feeds.
A starfish can neither see nor hear.
Neither has it the sense af smell. In
spite of those seeming; impediments,
nevertheless, it seeks and devours its
prey as neatly as an ordinary fish. The
starfish lies upon its prey and folds
its ' arms” or rpys completely about
if. Then It pushes Its stomach out
through Its mouth and will wrap even
a large oyster and shell within the
folds of the stomach. The mouth of
the starfish is in the center of lia

‘There's nothing you can’t accomplish
