MENTS."

There has been q great Hutter or hit
birds as the result Of President HRr:
rison's observation to the correspond
emit OF the World that he did not Le-
lieve the convention at Minneapolis
would be controlled by "~individual
dlsappOintments."
Big Tom Reed came first to the
ground, with this characteristic
squawk: II had but two enemies in
Maine. One of them Mr.. Harrison
pardoned out OF the States prison,
and the other he appointed TO Office"
Hence Mr.. Reed would support even
his ancient enemy, Blaine, ia order to
defeat Harrison.
The other hit birds did not confirm
the Presidents impeachment in such
plain words as "the Man from Maine
Number Two" employed, but their
grievances are we'll known.
Mr.. Platt may not have been the
disgruntled leader whom Attorney
General Miller had in-miud when he
said, "There are men for whom you
can never do enough" but he WAS in
stantly in e~verybody's mind. He has
been given almost the entire control
of The patronage in New York. The
initial affront Of Erhardt's appoint.
ment' as Collector was we'll atoned for
in his subsequent removal and the
appointment Of Platt's young man
Fassett and afterwards Of his hencb-
man Hendricks. But all of this ap~
p~arently has not caused Mr.. Platt to
forget or forgive President Harrison's
failure To- appoint him Secretary Of
the Treasury.
Mr.. Ciarkson wanted to be a full
hedged Cabinet officer. He was put
off with an appointment as assistant
to Wanamaker, whose entire record
in pol tics consisted Of his work in
raising a big corruption fund for Quay
to use in promoting the election Of
Harrison--and mo questions asked"
Az 10 Quay himself, he was given
pretty much everything in Pennsyl-
vania, except a Judge whom he van ad
to own. But the President was dis
pleased at Quay's long silence under
the Worlds explicit charges Of cor
ruption and dissatisfied with his tardy
and most lame explanation. He gave
him, as he had given Dudley, the cold
shoulder of an honest If u~ngrateful
man. Hence the glitter of Quay's
knife.
Mr.. Blaine is the idol Of his party,
buth his letter of declination in Feb
ruary put at rest the purpose and the
hope of nominating him. This pur-
pose could not have been revived but
for the cooperation OF these three
leaders with others similarly disaf-
fected.
The question now is whether the
President is right in believing that
the Minneapolis Convention twill not
be controlled by individual disap-
pointments."-IN. Y. World.

Think of putting q massive glass
and iron roof over 30-acrc field!
That is what these mon are doing here
to-day, and | saw them ut work put
ting up the great iron trusses which
will support this ioof. These are vast
arms of iron each weighing more than
100000 pounds, and these arms spring
from the floor on each side and clasp
hands, us it were, away up there 211
feet above the floor. 1t is n good
sized church that has a spirc as high
as that, and there nj, ~ of these
trusscs, and their span is $50 feet.
They weigh so much that 35 piles have
to be driven down for each, and q
foundation of logs and iron built upon
them, for they would grind an ordi-
nary floor to powder. Each arm is IA
feet thick at the base and 10 feet thick
at tho apex. They arc made by the
biggest bridge building company in
the world, and this company will, am
told, get 100000 out of the job which
it does for this building alone. The
whole building will cost S1,5O0,O0O
and the lumber In it is quito as won
dcrful as the iron. 1t would take L.
100 acres of forest to supply it, and it
took just five .carloP dis of nails to fastcn
down the floor. Think how much
carload of nails is. and multiply it by
i've, and these nails were used for the
floor alone.
You cannot conceive the size of this
structure without seeing it. Three
hundred thousand people could be
seated on the floor and in the galleries,
and $4,000 could bc seated on the floor
alone. The Coliseum at Rome with
all its galleries could only seat 81, 900
people, and it was never rooted except
with canvas. You could put four
Coliscums on that floor and two pyra-
mids as big as Chcops would sit upon
1t side by side and leave room for the
Capitol at Washington. If the Glcat
Pyramid were taken to pieces and
carried here, its material could be
stored in this building and you could
look down upon its masses of stone

Tho Proper Way TO Sit.

a proper sitting position requires
that the spine shall be kept straight
and that the support needed for the
upper part Of the body shall be felt
IN the right place, says Caroline LIE
Row, in the Ladies Home Journal.
Therefore, sit as far back as possible
in the chair, SO that the lower end of
the spine shall be braced against the
back of the scat. II this back is
straight the shoulders will also rest
against it; If not, they will have no
point of support and it will be found
they do not need it. This position
makes no strain upon the ligamcnts
of the spine. 1t allows a proper no.
sltion of the shoulders, consequently
of the chest, consequently of the
lungs, stomach and every other organ
OF the body. Their work is carried
on naturally and comfortably, as is
also the circulation OF the blood,
which, in wrong sitting position, is
seriously intcrfered with. With the
feet resting sQuarely upon the floor,
the hands resting easily upon the
lap, perfect equilibrium and conse-
quently perfect rest Of the body is
secured. There is no strain upon
any part of the body; no muscle or
organ is required to do more than its
legitimate amount Of work The
arms should never be folded, for this
position not only causes strain
upon the spine, and all the other
evils already referred to, but, in adj
dition, places the weight of the arms
upon the stomach and the diaphragm,
thereby increasing the labor of diges-
tion and respiration. Placing the
hands behind the back, or folding the
arms behind the back, if possible, is
a good attitude to take occasionally,
giving as it does, the fullest expan-
sion to the whole upper part of the
body.

shown in the different buildings in
way mover dreamed of before.
The electric plant of the Worlds
Fair will cost more than 100000
and electricity will turn night into
day. The Manufactures Building alone
will have $4,000 lights and there will
be $4,000 electric lamps blazing
away every night. The effect of these
lights will be wonderful beyond des-
cfiption. There arc quarter of a
million psnos of glass on the Exposi'
tion buildings, and these will be turn
cd into gold by the glare of electricity,
and the 10000 panes of gl7ss In the
Electricity Building will fairly blaze.
The electrical water display will
surpass anything ever attempted. The
great basin which runs from the lake
to the Administration Building will
be encircled with electric lights and
lights will be sunk under the water,
and the effect will be lake of. gold.
The fountains will flow over electric
rays of all colors of the rainbow, and
there will be search lights, arc lights
and all sorts of electric appliances,
even to the most wonderful fireworks
operated by electricity and made to
go off by the playing of the keys of a
piano-liko instrument. SO that they
will change at the will of the player

The schemes for getting to the ex-

being worked by agents and by rail-

Worlds Fair Transportation and ex-
cursion companies all over the United
States which arc contracting to take
people to the exposition, to board them
a certain number of days in Chicago
and to bring them home for fixed
sum.
There is ono such company in Cali

BY tcn-horsc power gasoline engine
which is placed under the floor of the

Of the machinery employed; "On the
lido of the engine is solid metallic fly
wheel forty eight inches in diameter.
Resting against the fiat surface or side of
tits fiy-wheel is friction wheel, whose
circumference is OF leather, which re-
wolves at right angles TO the fly wheel.
q similar friction wheel, being on the
same shaft, revolves in unison with the
6rst friction wheel, and turns metal
1isk in the same way that the fiy-wheel
;urns the first friction wheel. The
metal disk in its revolutions works a
chain similar to a bicycle chain, passing
around toothed wheel, which is fixed
20 the hind hub. BY the mechanism
ased the power is not transmitted from
the 1y-wheel by means Of belt, as is
customary, but from the fat side of the
5y-wheel to the friction wheel. To
regulate the speed, the shaft around which
the friction wheels rcvolve can be a
lusted so that the first friction wheel can
De moved from the circumference Of the
iy-whecl towards its centre, while the
second friction wheel moves nearer the
circumference Of the metal disk" The

rear seat of the wagon, is fc to the en-.

are made to turn backward and forward
thus turning the wheels in any desired
direction. BY means of levers the driver
starts, steers, and stops the wagon at
will. The engine can be operated at an
expense OF one cent an hour. A speed
of twenty miles an hour can be attained.
The total cost of such wagon, weigh
ing oOoO pounds, would be $500. TIL,
