branches no forest tree except its own

At touch OF the stronger tree, the

ABOUT WORLDS FAIRS.
Where the Great International ExhibI-
tions Have Been Located.

Where the Great International ExhibI-
tions Have Been Located.
The great industrial exhibitions OF
the world have come to be commonly
known as worlds fairs In France they
have been held more or less regularly
for q century. In Paris they were
opened in 1898, 1901, 1902, 1906, 1919,
1928, 1927, 1884, 1889, 1874, 1855, 1867,
1878 and 1889. The idea of an industrial
exhibition was popular in Great Britain
when it was first suggested and the peo-
pie became enthusiastic over the project.
The first great exhibition was in 1851,
when it was held in the Crystal Palace,
Sydenham, a suburb of London. The
late Prince Albert, Queen Victoria S
husband, was among the most active in
making the exposition success There
was another exhi bition held there in
1862, and the Crystal Palace has been
made famous for these international ex.
positions. The two last international
expositions that have attracted to them
from abroad more exhibitors and visit
ors than any previously held were
those at Paris in 1873 and 1889.
1t is stated by the great steam and rail
transportation companies that thousands
upon thousands of Americans have
crossed the Atlantic to visit Paris, the
Eiffel Tower and the exposition during
1889. In the year 1858 there was a
worlds fair held in the United States.
New York had built Crystal Palace.
1t will be remembered that the Crystal
Palace of Great Britain was then in the
height of its fame and glory. SO New
York was not to be behind our European
cousins. On July IA, 1853, therefore,
the New York Crystal Palace was
opened The building was of glass and
iron, and was erected in the form of a
Greek cross. les dimensions were $50
feet wide by SOS feet long. The number
of exhibitors from abroad was about
1900 in all The exhibition was opened
by President Pierce and was continued
for four months. 1t is related that the
exposition gave American industries an
impetus that was felt for many years.
The Crystal Palace Of New York was
continued for many years as an annual
fair, and in lass. while one of these were
in progress, the place took fire and was
burned. The Centennial Exposition
was held in Philadelphia. New York
tried to hold world fair in 1883, but
~ Was abandOned.-Chicago Inter-oce an

A PATRIOTIC MEASURE.
The Chattanooga and Chickamauga Ma

The Chattanooga anu 49,
tionaI Military Band
A bill has been prepared by General
Grosvenor, establishing the Chatta-
nooga and Chiokamauga National
Military Park, which has the sup
port of the leading members of the
societies of the Army OF the Cumber-
land, the Army Of the Tennessee and
the Army Of the Potomac, and all the
leading ex-Confederate officers engaged
in the battles indicated. 1t provides
that upon jurisdiction being ceded to
the United States by the States of Ten
nessee and Georgia that the public roads
along the crest OF Missionary Ridge
from the north end of Sherman's Heights
to Rossville, the road from Rossville to
Netherlands Gap, and the road from
Rossyille by way OF Lee and Gordon'a
mills to Crawfish Springs shall become
approaches to and parts of the said Ma
tional Park. The park proper, TO which
title is to be obtained by the United
States by condemnation and purchase
after the eeding Of jurisdiction by the
State of Georgia embraces the battle
field of Chackamauga, and is to be
bounded by line starting on the Lafay-
cite road just north Of the Cloud House,
thence west to Netherlands Gap, thence
along the Valley road to the road from
Crawfsh Springs to Lee and Gordon's
mills, thence to these mills, thence
down the Chickamauga river to Reeds
bridge and thence to the place Of begin
ming, covering about 1000 acres.
The affairs OF the park are to be man
aged under the Secretary OF War by
three commissioners, one to be an army
officer. 1t is made the duty of these
commissioners under the Secretary of
War to ascertain and substantially mark
all battle lines. The Chickamauga

authorities of any of the States which

TO ascertain and mark the lines of their

park are to be allowed to remain If they
so desire TO on their lands of purchase
by the Government on terms which
amount to little more than agreement
on their part to preserve the buildings
which we're standing at the time of bat

on the field. An appropriation of $780,

LAYING FOR NUNS.
A Pennsylvania Veterans Encounter with
Dodging Red Man.


Dodging Red Man.
While we were lying at Fort Laramie
in 1865, a Kiowa Indian from Kansas
came on TO act as a Government scout.
He could speak English first rate, and
having lived among the whites for years
he had picked up a good many pointers.
We soon learned among other things
that he could put up his dukes" in
frst-rate style In fact when put
against our best man, Joe" as the In
dian was named, knocked him out in the
seventh round. We put him on to few
extra lodges, and then waited for the
fruit to ripen.
Troops we're pouring in for the Indian
war. and most of them were old vets
from the Army Of the Potomac. Most
OF these were in great hurry to knock
over an Indian, either with fist or bull
let. and the half-dozen redskins about
the fort had to hustle to save their ba-
con. One day when the sign was right,
we logged Joe out in true Indian style,
gave him his cue as to how he should
act, and sent him down among some
Pennsylvania troops. They spotted him
for a scalp-raiser at once, and were hust-
ling him around, when we appeared and
demanded fair play. The leader of the
hustlers was a big corporal of fstic
fame. and the minute it was proposed to
get up mill between him and the In
dian he jumped clear of the ground and
yelled:
'Whoopeel That hits mel I've been
laying for an Iniun! I'll give you my
head II he stands through the frat
roundi"
Arrangements were soon made. We
went out where the wagons were park
ed. cleared space, and the principals
were Eoon ready. Joe was as calm as a
May morning, having little to say,while
