After Considerable Trouble the Amer lean
Minister Succeeds ut Athens.
In q recent issue the Acropolis, a
newspaper published ut Athens, Greece,
gives interesting information concern
ing the art exhibit to be made by that
country. The paper says;
ITO reproduce at Chicago our ancient
works Of art, not only as an exhibit
worthy of Greece, but as means of
culture, was Minister Snowden's idea,
and this he has secured. The ephor
general, Mr.. Cavedeis. has already en-
gagged skilled workmen from Italy, who
are preparing the casts Such an ex-
hibit requires considerable expenditure,
which in the unfortunate condition Of
our finances It was difficult to grant;
notwithstanding this Mr.. Snowden sue
ceeded in obtaining from the late min
istry Of MIR. Dclyanni promise of the
required sum, but before this was con-
summatcd the ministry fell. and the
work Of year seemed lost. Not so,
however, for on the incoming of the
present ministry the indefatigabie rep
resentative renewed his efforts, and
with complete success The acceptance
of the invitation carries with it grant
Of three hundred Thousand drachmas-a
sufficient sum TO cover the expense OF
producing casts and forwarding all ex-
hibits to their destination The tradi-
tional friendship between old Greece
and young America undoubtedly influ-
enoed this decision. but it is also true
that without the intelligence, energy,
tact and popularity of the American
minister Greece would not have been
represented at Chicago

BRITAIN'S BUILDING.
First Foreign Structure at the
Worlds Fair.
It u Admirably Located and VIII Re-
semblc an Old English Country
House-Some Points In Its
Construction,

England's building at the fair was the
first one to be begun by foreign na-
ton. II occupies an admirable site, be-
ing situated near the lake shore Just at
the southern extremity Of the improved
part Of jackson park. Some patriotic
visitors TO the exposition grounds have
not failed to observe that the cement
guns that poke themselves from the
grim walls OF the brick battle-ship Illi-
nois are trained directly on Great Brit
aims building. This Is mere coinci-
dence, however, and Capt. Meade, who
has charge of the stationary ship in
which Uncle Sans naval exhibit Is to
be made, says that Il cannot be accepted
as any indication of hostility between
the two great powers
Although Great Britain's ex hibit is 20
be made in the big buildings OF the e2-
position, the royal commissioners
thought It desirable that they should
contribute at least one building to the
fair and in II establish their headquar-
ters- The site chosen for this structure
by Chief Burnham has been generously
praised by the English commissioners
Work on the building WAS commenced
a month ago, under the direction Of
Col. Grover, detailed to remain in Chi
cago as the special representative of the
royal commission until the building is
finished
Photographs of the building show
that the structure will re semble an old
English country house. and that is what
II is intended'to be, n reproduction Of
the best type Of half timber built
houses of the sixteenth century Many
good examples of this type of architect
ure are still extant-
Speaking Of the arrangeinent Of the
building Sir Henry said:
1T Is intended to use terra-cotta
somewhat largely in the lower story,
with rod facing and multioned windows,
80 that the building may be typical
example of an old English house. The
upper portion will be of half timber
construction, with overhanging and
projecting gables. AS the building will
be seen from all points, each facade has
had TO be treated enthusiastically. The
plan forms three sides of quadrangle
with the open side next the lake, in
closed by raised terrace with balus-
trade The center on the front or in
land side will be recessed, with steps
leading from both sides up the covered
portico, which will open into. large
center hall: off this will be, on one
side, large library and reception rooms,
and on the other the secrctary's Office
and the other rooms required for the
work of the commission. On the first
floor will be large suite of rooms and
Offices Il Is intended to fill up all the
principal rooms with wall paneling and
elaborate ceilings after the manner
of some Of the best English country
bousos.s

A VALUABLE CHERRY STONE.

II Had the Heads of One Hundred and
Tvofty-four Potentates Carved Upon It.
In q museum of curiosities at Salem,
Mass, there is preserved common
cherry seed or stone, followed and
fashioned like basket Within the
basket are twelve tiny silver spoons,
the shape and finish Of which cannot
be distinguished by the naked eye.
The name of the artist who con-
structed this little wonder has been
lost, but the actual existence of the
thing itself will not be questioned by
any one from the Old Witch headquar-
ters OF the Bay State, says the Philadel
phia Press
DR.. Peter Oliver, who lived in Eng
land during the early part of the
eighteenth century, tells of seeing q
carved cherry stone which would be q
wonder even in this age of fine tools
and fine workmanship. The stone was
one from a common cherry, and upon it
were carved the heads of ono hundred
and twenty-four popes, kings queens
enperors, saints, etc
Small as they must necessarily have
been, It is announced on the authority
of Prof. Oliver that with q good glass
the heads of the popes and kings could
readily be distinguished from those Of
the queens and saints by their mitrcs
and crowns. The gentleman who
brought this little wonder to England
purchased it in Pru ssia, allowing the
original owner FIVE Thousand pounds
sterling for his treasure Think of 1t,
twenty-five thousand dollars for

DEAD MEN TURNED TO STONE.
The Strange Spectacle 20 BE Seen where
Once City Stood.

Tho Strange Spectacle 10 Re Seen whore
Once City Stood.
Away up among the sagebrush Of
White Pine, far removed from the shrek
Of the locomotive and only disturbed by
the occasional prospector, y q strange,
silent city. Once more than thirty-five
thousand people carried on all kinds Of
business and traffic there. II was dur
ing the phenomenal rush 70 White Pine
in 1867. Many hundreds Of buildings
were erected. II was q wild, new city,
which never slept, and where were en-
acted all the scenes which In the telling
made Mark Twain and Bret Harte
famous This was the story which an
old White Pine man recounted to q San
Francisco Examiner reporter.
''Now, II You go there" said he, you
see only few of those buildings, for
most of them have fallen in and de-
cayed. Scattered log cabins yet remain
where mountain squirrels scurry TO and
fro at the sound Of mans footsteps
But It is not Of this that I started out to
tell you, but Of q second silent city
where hundreds OF men lie buried and
where scarcely headstone marks their
last resting place The headstones,
where there were any at all, were Of
wood and they quickly rotted away.
The formation all about there Is
largely Of limestone Water perco-
lating through II partakes of the
nature Of lime and this In many
cases has entirely petrified the bodies.
So II one were to dig here
and there In the great graveyard he
would find on every hand petrif1ed men.
In many cases they are petrifed SO COM
pletely that the entire remains, even
down to the features, are intact. The
quiet graveyard, stretching over many
acres, numbers among Its sleepers all
classes. There are those who died in
midwinter of pneumonia and typhoid
fever, for in those wild times men could
not take good care Of themselves Des-
peradoes are there also. Numberless
persons, Of all degrees, died with theft
boots on.
''The men who came there on fortune
bent embraced all classes. There was
the hardened prospector and the tender
foot, the professional man, the farmer
for the first time turning his attention
toward mines and the gambling ad-
venturer Death settled upon them,
high and low alike. Many an eastern
family perhaps to this day are waiting
for the return Of father, son or brother.
They have dropped out forever, and
there, caught by the underground ele-
ments and turned to stone, they will lie
till the end of time. It Is a lonesome
city to visit now, but twenty-five years
ago 1t was humming, roaring place not
unlike Creole at the present time, only
larger. It looks uncanny now and do
not often visit it, but when do am
constantly impressed with the uncer-
tainty of all human affairs The old
wooden headstones that yet remain are
exceedingly suggestive"

Russ.A.s GREAT RAILWAY.

10 WIN Cost o1SS, S2B, 900, and VIII BE
Nearly 5000 Miles Long.
The construction Of the worlds long
est railroad is progressing rapidly along
the river valleys and across the steppes
Of Siberia, says the Philadelphia In
quirer. The western extremity of the
road is the mining town OF MASK on
the eastern side Of the Ural range, and
its eastern terminus is at Vladi vostolx,
on the sea Of Japan. making a total
length of 4,7S5 miles, which Is nearly
twice the length OF the Canadian Pacific.
Its cost, including surveys, grading,
building, stations, rolling stock, and.
indeed. everything needed for Its con-
struction and equipment, Is estimated
at s1S3, 1926, ,0O0-an enormous amount,
but proftably invested, and far less
than the cost OF useless European
war.
The country through which the road
will run presents no great engineering
difficulties, and across the vast plains It
will hardly require the grading Of q
roadbed. It is also for the most part
fairly populous, much Of It being very
fertile and the rest rich In minerals; so
that along its entire route the road will
open up and develop q country Of mag
ni6cent resources and Of almost inex-
haustible agricultural and mining
wealth.
The various results which will even
tually follow the completion Of this
great work cannot of course be fully
estimated in advance. but some Of them
may be partially foreseen- One OF
these Is that by means Of this road
Russia leaps at single bound into the
indubitable position Of the most fOrmid-
able OF Asiatic powers Through this
road England rs made insecure In India,
and, whenever the contest for suprem-
acy In eastern Asia Is precipitated, the
whole northern frontier Of China win
be open at every point 10 the massing

But, altogether apart from It's avail
ability and importance In war, It's COM
mercial, industrial and political possi-
bilities are simply incalcuable. II viii
