The gentlemen report royal treat
ment at the hands of the national COM

courtesy and their visit was most sue
cessful in every particular.
The committee visited Jackson PARK.
the location of the exposition, and hav-
ing an early choice secured a beautiful
and commanding site for the Kansas
building.
Kansas is the fifth state to secure a
location. The other states are Illinois,
California, Iowa and Indiana.
The sight is described as lovely one
in piece of ground sloping toward
lake Michigan, with frontage to the
south and west Of 10 feet on one street
and l2O feet on one of the main boule-
wards of the park.
Arrangements were also made for the
exhibition OF Kansas products In the
large building to be erected by the
government for the state exhibits. It
Is the design to duplicate each Kansas
item exhibited. In the general build
ing must be placed everything that is
shown for competitive premium contest.
Kansas will have a creditable exhibit
and come out with honors as she always

Origin of Mermaid Stories.

The dugong. a species of whale found
abundantly in the waters of both great
oceans, but especially off the coast OF
Australia in the Pacific, is Believed to
have furnished the slender basis upon
which all mermaid stories have been
founded. Its average length is from
eight TO twenty feet. 1t has a hand
much resembling that of the human
species and breathes by means of
lungs. 1t feeds upon submarine sea-
weeds, and when wounded makes a
noise like a mad bull. Long hair in
the female species and hair and beard
in the male add TO the resemblance of
the head and neck. The flesh Of this
species of whale is used for food, and
is said 10 have the flavor of bacon,
mutton, or beef, according to the part
of the body from which the meat is
taken. Orleans PicayuRe.

Brutes That Love Tobacco.

Professor Paul Meyerheim, the ccle
ora,ed animal painter contributes to
symposium" in a German publica-
lion devoted TO the tobacco trade the
following interesting observations on
overs of the weed:
What have observed about smok-
ing is not very interesting, so far as
nv own use of the weed is concerned.
smoke light cigars and have little or
no appreciation of high grade cigars.
But it may interest you 10 learn what
my models in the geological gardens
think about smoking.
There are. to begin with, the COM
mon brown bears. They are veritable
tobacco enthusiasts. Just blow to-
bacco smoke toward their cage and
you will see how they rush toward you.
and, with every sign of delight, rub
the back and the head against the por-
ton of the grating through which the
smoke passes. 1t is a very amusing
spectacle.
AT one time l treated sleeping
lion to a large pinch of snuff, which l
introduced into his nostrils with the
aid of a wooden modelling knife. His
majesty arose, sneezed with great
vehemence. and then lay down again
to continue his nap, apparently rather
pleased by the interruption. All kinds
Of goats, deer, llamas and similar ami
mails are passionately fond of snuff
and cigars. l once gained the friend
ship Of a very ugly guanaco by feeding
him frequently with snuff. Some
soldiers who later teased the animal
and were rewarded. as usual, by his
spewing all over them, remarked in my
hearing: why. the deuce! how the
beast smells of snuff"
Large parlans are also extremelE
fond of tobacco smoke. You see, do
not smoke for pleasure alone"
