Money Appropriated by Foreign Coun-
tries-Some Features.
Thus far an aggregate of $2,6 8 900 has
been appropriated by twenty-nine states
for representation at the Worlds fair.
Twenty-four foreign nations have now
officially accepted the invitation to partici-
pate in the exposition. Russia, Turkey,
Denmark, Persia and Egypt are among the
recent acquisitions.
The Catholics have chosen a committee
TO supervise the making of q national Cath
Ollie educational exhibit at the exposition.
Many prominent Catholics are much inter.
ested in the enterprise.
The American Society of Wood Engrav-
ers, which had a splendid exhibit at the
Paris exposition, and carried off all the
honors in it's line there, has decided to
make a similar showing of it's work at Chi
cago in 1893.
Minister Phelps has hopes of inducing
Baron krupp to exhibit some of his i'm
mense guns at the exposition. Baron Krupp
hesitateB, for, he says, it will cost him $3.50
600 to make an exhibit creditable to his es-
Enlistment.
The lumhermen of Washington have
promised to contribute all the material
necessary for the construction of the build
ing of that state at the exposition, and the
Northern Pacific has agreed to transport
WAN = VI 1 III Nubull
ton can expend upon its exhibit the entire
100000, which was appropriated.
The Kansas Worlds fair managers offers
prizes of $40 each for the best samples
of wheat, oats, rye, and other grains and
grasses, to be put in bundles eight inches
in diameter, each contestant furnishing
two bundles. Half of the samples received
will be entered for premiums at the exposi,
ton, and the Others to be used in decor
ating the Kansas state building at the fair.
Fl. c. Payne, special commissioner to
Mexico, says that country will! probably ap-
propriate at the start $3.50, 600 for the rep
resentation at the exposition, and that it
will most likely increase the amount to
$2,OOO,O0O later on. Mexico voted $4OO, OOl
at the start for the Paris exp POSITION, and
spent $1,3O0,000 before it got through.
Great enthusiasm is manifested over the
Chicago exposition, and Mexico will GER
tainly excel all previous efforts.

BIG AND LITTLE Fish.
The Finest Display Ever Made viii
Be at the Worlds Big
Fair.
Immense Aquarium for the
Denizens of Salt and Fresh
Waters.
tana's Finny Beauties Should He
In the Swim.

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE fish exhibit at the
Worlds Columbian exposition is to be
wonderful one, and not the least interest.
ing portion of it, naturally, will be the
aquarial or live fish display. This will be
contained in a clrcular building, 1876 feet in
diam eter, standing near one extremity oil
the main fisheries building. and in a great
curved corridor connecting the two.
In the center of the cil cular building will
be a rotunda sixty feet in diameter, in the
about twenty-six feet wide from which will
arise a towering mass of rocks covered with
moss and lichens, From olefts and ~crevices
in the rocks crystal streams of water will
gush and drop to the masses of reeds. rushes,
and ornamental semi-aquatic plants in the
basin below. In this pool gorgeous gold
fishes, golden ides, golden tench. and
other fishes will disport. From the rotun-
da one side of the larger series Of aqua
ria may be viewed. These will be ten in
number and will have a capacity of 1000 to
$4,000 gallons of water.
Passing out of the rotunda by the en-
frances a great corridor or gallery is
reached where on one hand can be viewed
the opposite side of the series of great
tanks and on the other a line of tanks
somewhat smaller, ranging from $50 to 500
gallons each in capacity. The corridor or
gallery is about fifteen feet wide. The en-
tire length of the glass fronts Of the aquaria
will be about 575 feet or over 5000 square
feet of surface. They will make a piano.
rama mover before seen in any exhibition,
and will rival the great permanent aqua
RUINS Of the world not only in size but in
all other respects.
The total water capacity of the aquaria,
exclusive of reservoirs, will be Is, 725 cubic
feet, or 100000 gallons. This will weigh
lisp .425 pounds, or almost 600 tons. OF
this amount about 10000 gallons will be
devoted to the marine exhibit. In the en-
tire salt water circulation, including reser-
voirs, there will be about $4,000 gallons.
The pumping and distributing plantfo the
marine acquaria will be constructed of vul-
canite. The pumps will be in duplicate and
each have a capacity of 5000 gallons per hour.
supply of sea water will be secured by
eyaporating the necessary quantity at the
Woods Hall station of the United States
Fish com omission to about one-fifth its
bulk. thus reducing both quantity and
weight for transportation about 80 per cent.
The fresh water required to restore it to it's
proper density will be supplied from Lake
Michigan. In transporting the marine
fishes to Chicago from the coast there will
also be an addition of probably 5000 gal
of pure sea water to the supply on each
trip.

A DartnrdIy Crime.

A most dastardly and cowsrdly crime
was committed at Davenport Wednesday
Someone entered the stable of Henry
Loreuz, who had a very fine mare, and
with sharp knife or razor cut the help
less animal on the launches in a manner
shameful in the extreme. 1t was beastiy
trick. Some time after the occurrence
Mr.. Lorenz went to the stable to feed his
horse and found the animal cut up as
stated, bleeding and suffering, Low, in
deed, must be the nature of the brute
who would be guilty of such outrageous
treatment of poor, dumb animal Who
did it, Mr.. Lorenz has not the faintest
idea. a physician was summoned as
soon as possible and the wounds of the
animal sewed up, it requiring seven
stitches.

An ord Maas B,s SWIM.

WI GaGit, proprietor of the Gsult
house in LeClaire. had thrilling ex>
perience and one which he will not soon
forget few nights ago. He was returns
ing from trip to Lyons on the steamer
10 Long on the night of July 4. and while
walking along the guards of the boat he
missed his footing and fell into the river.
de at once realized the danger in which
ne was placed of being struck by the
wheel and with few rapid strokes he
was soon out of its reach. 1t was pitch
dark and no one on board the boat had
seen his misfortune, but he was not dis,
heartened and turning his face
toward Illinois he struck out for the shore.
The accident occurred in the middle
OF the stream between Cordova and AL
bany, just opposite the mouth of the
Wapsie river. The swim for life was q
long and weary one, but Mr. Gault came
out the victor, reaching the shore so
nearly exhausted that he lay down upon
the sand where he remained sometime
before he was able to proceed any fur
ther. He finally reached Cordova about
4 O'Clock the next morning. and then
came on home to LIE Claire. As there
were quite number of people on the
boat he was not missed by anyone
and as he did not intend to return that
evening he was not expected BY his folks,
and who knew nothing of his terrible ex-
perience until the next day When it is
considered that Mr.. Gault is upward of
60 years Of age, and the suddenness with
which he was precipitated into the water
it was indeed a miraculous escape from
death. He was around again the next
day, and apparently is none the worse
for his perilous trip. The distance swan
was over half nile. and the time in the
water nearly an hour.

Lion Tanners.

The advent of Col. Boone and his five
liberated lions before the American pub
lie, is the latest circus sensation. These
lions are all set free in the circus ring,
aud are made to do every act that dogs
and horses have been trained to perform
the peculiar novelty of the perform
ance is in the entire freedom given the
lions-hitherto all exhibitions of trained
lions have been inside cage, never be-
fore have lions been seen running around
and performing, free from all restraint,
in circus ring.
Isaac A. Van Amburgh and Herr
Driesbach were the most famous lion
tanners ever seen ii this country until
Col. Boone arrived. The two first named
died years ago, and are only remembered
by those who have passed the half CEN
fury mile stone. A performer of more
recent times was Andrew Pierce, who
ranked next to Van Amburgh in lion
training. Frank Lawson was at
one time the champion in this line. Col
Thomas Davis, who was nearly cut to
death in a den of lions, in Chicago, was
also famous for his achievements in lion
training. A famous lion, known to older
circus men by the lame of "Old Parker, 8"
and who died at Central Park several
years ago, enjoyed the reputation of
having killed four men.
Col. Boones method of tanning and
training lions is entirely different from
the old-time customs. He never cuts
their claws. burns their mouths, use
heated irons. or any of the old-fashloned
methods. He educates the brute by pa
tience and kindness. and by SO doing is
enabled to take them from their cages
and perform them IN the circus ring or
anywhere else.
The colone! and his liberated lions will
be seen in the Adam Forepaugh sho VS..
which are 10 exhibit here on next Tues.
