70 BE MAGNIFICENT

The Splendid Worlds Fair Buildings.
To Visitors the Columbian Exposi-

Imposing Structures Will Present a
Spectacle OF Surprising Beauty.

BY THE WATER ROUTE.

The most delightful, probably,
though not the speediest means 10y
which the visitor may reach the Ex-
position grounds, will he by steamboat
on Lake Michigan. A ride of six miles
from the embarking point at the
Lake Front Park, with the towers and
gilded frames of the fair buildings
constantly in sight, will take him
there. When abreast of the sight, a
grand spectacle of surprising mag
nificence will be before him-the
vast extent of the beautiful park;
the windings of the lagoon; the
superb array OF scores of great build
ings, elegant and imposing in their
architecture and gay with myriads of
flags and streamers floating from their
pinacles and towers; and towering
above them all, the lofty Proctor
tower. In the northern portion of the
grounds he will see n picturesque
group of buildings, perhaps forty or
fifty of them, constituting II vcritable
village of palaces. Here, on n hun
drcd acres or more, beautifully laid
out, will stand the buildings of foreign
nations and of number Of the States
OF the Union, surrounded by lawns,
walks and beds OF flowers and shrub
berry. How many of them there will
be cannot be stated yet, but it is GER
tain that they will be numerous and
will vary greatly in size and style of
architecture. They will be ranged on
wide, curving avenues, will include
some OF the most ornate, costly and
palatial structures and constitute per-
haps the most interesting portion Of
the entire Exposition. In the western
part OF the group will stand the Illinois
building, 4OOxlJ0 in size, and costing
S350,0O0. 1t will be severely classic in
style with dome in the center and n
great porch facing southwark. In this
portion of the park, too, will stand the
Fine Arts building which is to be mag
nificent palace costing half a million.
Just south OF the foreign and State
buildings may be observed a consider
able expanse of the lagoon, with in
let to the lake, and incompassing
three islands. On the largest one
will stand the U. S. fisheries building,
700 feet in length and flanked at each
end by a curved arcade connecting it
with two round pavilions in which
will be aquaria and the tackle exhibit.
This building, designed by Henry
Ives Cobb, OF Chicago, will be in the
Spanish style and conspicuous because
OF liberal use of color.

PRIDE OF THE LADIES.

Passing the Woman's building the
visitor can turn towards the north
east and inspect the foreign and State
buildings in the northern portion of
the park of which he is supposed to
have caught general view from the
steamboat deck, or he can turn sharn-
ly to the west into Midway Plaissance
and ascend the Proctor tower. This
will be constructed of steel and be
$50 feet high or about 100 feet higher
than the Eiffel. From its top the
view obtainable of the Exposition
grounds and buildings and of the

Hoary old superstition AS though

Possession does not constitute right.
A man only has the right to do what
he ought to do, not what he pleases to

Poetry
THE NINETY M NINE

There are ninety and nine that live and die
In want and hunger and cold,
That one may revel in luxury
And be Tapped in its silken fold;
The ninety and nine in their novels bare,
The one in a palace with riches rare.
They toll in the fields, the ninety and nine,
For fruits of our mother earth;
They dig and delve in the dusky mine,
And bring her hid treasures forth;
And the wealth released by their sturdy DIoWs'
To the hands of the one forever flows.
From the sweat of their brows the desert blooms
The forest before them falls,
Their labor has builded humble homes
And cities with lofty halls;
And the one owns cities and homes and lands
And the ninety and nine have empty hands.
Dear God! how long will their wrongs be dumbi
How long the hopeless strife,
Ere the hearts that die and the souls DenumOed
Shall quicken in new born lIfeT
And the empty hands that toll from birth
Be clasped in a band that spans the earth?
Ere the night, so dreary and dark and long,
Shall that glorious morning bring,
When over the world their victOr's song
of the ninety and nine shall sing,
And echo afar from zone to zone,
"ReiOice. for labor shall have its Own!'

NOTICE TO THE BRETHREN.

Copies of President Folks official
plan for organizing a lecture system,
which is sent out by the instructions of
the National Legislative Council of our
order, has been sent to each County
Secretary in the State and to the State
and District Lecturers and Stew
ards. Be sure these circulars are
carefully read, studied and explained
at your next county meeting. Do all
in your power to see it's requirements
carried out. We must haze a uniform
understanding of our secret work, a
higher appreciation and more thorough
knowledge of the noble principles of
our Order and unity Of action wherever
our interests are concerned. 1t is i'm
possible for us to have these things
without a thorough system of RctUTjn9.
If we follow the "plan" we will soon
have that. Lend your aid and inf1u-
ence, my brother. Be sure to attend
your county meeting and look after this
all-important matter.
Yours fraternally,

FERROD.-A new artificial stone,
which can be melted and cast in
moulds, is said to be a compound,
partly chemical and partly mechani-
cal, of iron, sulphur and silicon, with
more or less foreign matter. It's nor
NAL color is a dark slate, which can be
modified by pigments. The material
has the hardness of bluestone, and can
be worked by the usual stone-cutting
tools, turned in a lathe, orphaned. The
tensile strength is from $50 to 1909
pounds per square inch, and compress
sion of 5000 to $4,000 pounds is with

Fahrenheit. The new stone is described
under the name "Ferroid."
IODINE AS A DETECTTvE.-Some in
teresting researches on a method of de-
tecting changes in written documents
have been communicated to the Paris
Academy of Medicine by NJ. G. Bruy-
lants. It is shown that when paper,
sized and calendered, is partially moist
ened, then, after drying, subjected to
the action of iodine vapor, the parts
which have been wet assume a violet
tint, while those which have escaped
water grow yellow or brown. The in
tensity of the c%oloration varies with
the time Of exposure to the iodine.
Places where water has previously
fallen and dried may still be detected
after the paper is completely saturated
with water, the parts which were first
wet being turned an intense violet blue
by the iodine, while the other parts be-
come blue. Even rubbings, such as
those which are made by bread crumbs
and elude discovery by other methods,
are clearly brought out by iodine vapor,
and erased tracings of a soft pencil are
made legible. The certainty Of the re-
suits depends much upon the quality
of the paper and the lapse of time,
irregular wetting or rubbing giving
fainter differences after three months
or more than when the manipulations
are recent, and the indications being
less clear or thinly sized paper.

THE SQUARING OF THE CIRCLE-AN HIS
TORICAL SKETCH OF THE PROBLEM
FROM THE EARLIEST TIMES
no TILE ppESENn nAN
TO THE PRESENT DAY.

For two and a half thousand years,
both trained and unframed minds have
striven in vain to solve the problem
known as the squaring of the circle.
Now that geometers have succeeded in
giving a rigid demonstration of the
impossibility of solving the problem
with ruler and compasses, it seems
fitting and opportune to cast a glance
into the nature and history of this very
ancient problem.
The problem is of great antiquity.
