THE government geological survey
has undertaken a curious piece of work.
1t is digging the deepest hole in the
ground which has ever been attempted
by man. This extraordinary aperture is
located in the neighborhood of Wheel
ing, w. Va. 1t is eight inches in diam
eter and has now reached a depth of
400 feet, or nearly one mile. No diff
culties in boring have yet been en-
countered and the work will be contin-
ued so long as human skill can devise
means of going deeper. Interesting
geological discoveries will doubtless be
made, but the principal object of the
survey is, if possible, to reach a depth
that will throw some light on the ques-
ton of the proximity of interior fires to
the surface of the earth. Whatever
may be the final results, the progress of
the work thus far is rather reassuring.
If no signs Of fire can be discovered at
the depth of mile we should be willing
to take the chances against an early ter
restrial combustion.

HOW TO RUN THE FAIR.
Suggestions from Messrs. Depew.
De Young and Clews.
mr.. Depew Urges the Necessity OF State
Appropriations and Easily Accessible
Grounds-sIr. CLOVIS Discusses
the Financial Prospects.
lcopYRIanr. isoi.l

How to make the worlds fair ut Chi
cago q success is a question that has
engrossed the attention of many of the
ablest minds of the country for the
past six months.
1t is easy in broad generalization to
say that it depends upon management
and location. If 1t be granted that the
management Is able and experienced,
then location Is the first consideration.
The facilities for transit to and dis
tribution from the fair of its visitors
are vital to its permanence and finan-
cial prosperity.
Both the gate money and the charao-
ter and extent of tl-o exhibits will de-
pend upon the number of people who
daily visit the fair.
The total number who go once form
IN insignificant part of the aggregate
necessary to make a great exhibition.
1t is those who go many times over and
over again who increase the numbers to
Ahe proper limit.
Unless the grounds are quickly and
cheaply accessible and the great crowds
always present at the close In the after
noon and on fete days can be comforta-
bly, and quickly carried, visitors will go
but once and the fair will be failure.
The Paris and London exhibitions
were SO phenomenally successful be-
cause they could be approached by in
Vulnerable means of cheap conveyance,
and tens of thousands leaving at the
same moment, namely the hour for clos
ing, could find themselves without delay
in the steam cars, cable cars, street
surface cars, stages and carryalls on
their way home.
The management of the fair requires
during It's continuance as much of the
mind, the entire time and intelligent
and enthusiastic attention of as expo
rienced and able men as are needed to
run a state government or a great mu-
nicipality.
To permit politics to appear anywhere
In the management of fair of this char
acter would be fatal to the enterprise.
The exhibition will be nothing if not
universal, and If it incurs rightfully the
hostility of either republican or demo-
cratic states it will be a one-sided and
very tame affair.
The exhibition will not be national
unless all of the states are appropriate
" represented. The states cannot be
present in an attractive way without
the assistance of large appropriations
by their respective legislatures.
The foreign exhibit will undoubtedly
be fine, but distance and expense and
other obvious causes will unnecessarily
prevent European nations being repre-
scented with anything like the fullness
and richness that they were in Paris in
1889.
The benefit of fairs of this character
to the nations where they are held is in
calculable. The French fair in Paris
added such an enormous sum to the nor
NAL business of France that 1t produced
prosperity in every department of In
dustry, saved the republic from dissolu-
ton which was imminent, and placed II
| upon q permanent basis.

Her ConFsssor Declares His Belief tha4

New York, May 26 AT a meeting OF
the Catholic Historical Society last night
papers written by Cardinal Gibbons and
Rev. J. @. Walter, of Washington, d. c.,
were read.
There was much interest manifested
over Father Walters reply to the Gem
fury article, as it was expected to be
somewhat caustic, If not sensational.
Father Walter relates how he became in
volved in the unfortunate Surratt affair,
and declares his belief that Mrs. Surratt
was an innocent woman.

tion," says Father Walter, 81 was paste Z

say that from what 1 know Mrs. Surrati

N n. DE YOUNG DISCUSSES THE ATTITUDE OF
EUROPEAN NATIONS TOWARD THE FAIR.
In my opinion there isn't any ques-
ton about the success of the worlds
fair. Interest will increase as the
buildings begin to be erected and when
the enormous scope of the exposition is
developed by ocular demonstration.
My intimate knowledge of the
forthcoming exposition and my expert
ence at the Paris exposition of 1889,
which up to that time was the most sue.
cessful one that the world had ever
witnessed, convince me that this ex-
position will excel it in every particular.
First of all, the main buildings of the
exposition will be larger. The aggre-
gate frontage viii be placed in line
nearly two miles; there will not be less
than two hundred buildings on the
ground, and then a wonderful layout of
canals, fountains and basins which
mingle and pass through and around all
of the main buildings on the ground,
giving a. waterway of nearly six miles,
on which will be placed thousands of
boats, showing the popularity of all the
nations of the globe, such as gondolas,
Indian canoes, whale boats, life boats,
all of which will be manned by men,
who, for a consideration, will carry
visitors by water from one building to
another.
Second. Financially the exposition
starts out with cash on hand of 40 per
cent. more than the total expenditures
of the Paris exposition. The total ex-
penditures of the Paris exposition were
O., 500, 900. This included the money
raised by an advanced sale of the total
admission receipts. Now our great ex-
position starts in with a cash appropria-
from the city of Chicago of S10, 1000, 900,
s., 100000 from the national govern
ment, $1,so0,0e0 already appropriated
by the various states, and 50, 400, 900,
which is now under consideration by
various state legislatures. So that
the positive appropriation in sight is
SIS, 900, 900, and we can estimate that
$4,000, 900 of the So, 400, 900 to be appre-
priated will be added to this, making a
total of SIS, 200, 900. Gan anyone doubt
Tor a moment that with this enormous
sum the exposition, so far as the build
ings are concerned, will excel anything
known In the world?
Third. AS to the exhibits the exposi-
ton starts In with the assured large ana
general exhibits of our own country.
No one questions that we are the great
est nation In the manufacture Of ma
chinery, SO unquestionably that will be
great exhibit. ae.s.
In agriculture, horticulture and fort-
culture this nation can make one Of the
greatest exhibits of the world.
