strangers to civility. Well, 1t is interest
ing to note how quickly they have been
transformed into good soldiers. Already
they nave the bearing, the repose, the dig.
nifty mingled with the constituencies
which should ever characterize men who
are thrust into positions of responsibility
and delegated authority. This army Of
guards has been to me an exposition Of
itself-a display of the manhood of the
common people, and of the adaptability of
our young men to military service. It
presents an object lesson in the soldierly
qualities of Americans, and shows this
generation in a small way that which the
last saw on a grand and more terrible
scale-the ease with which our country
men may leave the pillow and the bench,
the railway brake and the desk, the coun-
ter and the school, and become part of an
effective, intelligent and thoroughly dis
ciplined martial force.
1t would be foolish t say these guards
are altogether perfect. They are not ideal.
But the other extreme, that reached by
the spirit of fault-finding which is alto
gether too prevalent in this country, is
equally absurd. The guards are a credit
to the country and the exposition, and
they are improving every day. Some peo-
pie ask why so many guards are necessary,
Two thousand five hundred is a pretty
large number of policemen for one city, it
is true. But it must be remembered they
have both day and night duty to perform.
Their vigil over the almost priceless en-
hihits here displayed never ceases. It is
estimated there are in the exposition goods
valued at $500. OO. 600 All fheSe ara oron

Competitive Floral Displav.

Pennsylvania and New York are about
to enter on a competitive floral display
that will result in the finest exhibit Of
cannas ever seen in any country. The
plants are to be placed in beds directly
east of the Horticultural building. The
Pennsylvanians will confne their plants
entirely to the new French varieties of
cannas, with a view Of showing the devel.
opment of the flower within the last de.
cade. There will be 5000 Of these plants,
and they will be in full bloom from the
middle Of July until the end of the exposi.
ton season. Uncle John Thorpe is au.
thority for the assertion that the cannas
are the finest outdoor acquisition to fori.
culture Of the last decade. Pennsylvania
is also to have 9 fine display of cacti, ex.
hibiting some 300 varieties in a bed 125x25
feet in dimensions. This collection was
got together by Albert Blanc, of Philadel-
phia, the first cacti collector of the world.

An international day at the fair is .
probability for the near future. Special
days have been set aside for the various
countries, states and societies, and plans
are now being formulated to combine all
nations and states in one hig celebration,
so that every visitor to the exposition on
that day can see representatives of all
races gathered together in one body. This
idea originated with John Bidlake, super.
~totendent of isolated exhibits at the fair.
He has mentioned the matter to Professor

In favor of it. Director General Davis has

many miles from the ocean, and the prob

ployment for the opportunity it would
give them to see the exposition and the
life which is in and about the exposition.
1t would indeed he surprising if among so
many men there were not a few whose
heads were turned by the exercise of "a

ignorant and rude. But in all the time I

and day, and wore a deep, smooth path
around his cabin. At least, that was the
story. Well, the rock crab is Just like
him. He knows NJ peace.
OF the crabs and all the salt
water fish must have salt water in which
to live. How to secure supplies of salt
water was a problem which the managers
Of the aquaria had to solve at the very out
set. They did it very neatly. At the
Woods Holl station of the United States
Fish commission, away down in Massar
chusetts, they eSaporated a large quantity
of sea water to about one-lfth Of its bulk.
That is, left the salt in but took away
four-ffths of the water. This very salty
salt water was drawn into big tanks on
wheels. just such tank-cars as are used for
the transportation Of oil by railway.
Here this water is restored to its proper
density blythe addition of water from Lake
Michigan, and in the resulting fluid the
ocean creatures appear to thrive quite as
well as If they were in the Atlantic itself.

Japanese Fine Art.

The Japanese paintings in the Art palacs
are peculiar, but equally as fascinating as
they are strange. One immense panel has
a war scene, full Of life and action, but SO
curiously drawn it is almost incompre.
hensible. The colors are intensely vivid,
with the same indefinite perspective that
characterizes everything on these walls.
The most successful landscape is a screen
worked in silk. A great cherry tree, white
In blossom, fills the entire foreground and
apparently stretches its boughs over miles

q river that has overfown It's banks and
half submerged houses. While according
to art rules it is possibly not accurate
from the standpoint of beauty, it is won
derful. Its value is also considerably up
in the thousands. There are scores Of
smaller efforts and plenty Of good carvings,
and in case yesterdays crowd is q criterion
