There is in this calamity a sugRes-
ton which the fair authorities will
doubtless heed, and that is the urgent
need of fire escapes on the large build
ing throughout the grounds and
especially those which have elevators
for carrying people to the roofs and
higher stories. It il hardly probable
that such another catastrophe will be
visited upon the fair, In fact no such
other dangerous building exists, but
outside means of descent are quite as
necessary on worlds fair buildings a.
ON any others in which human beings
are carried to great heights.
Dividing the public interest with
the foregoing calamity is the late
arrival of the Columbus feet and the

anchor in the basin before the White
city, and following quickly in their
wake came the Gokstab-find with her
crew of hardy Norsemen. Such naval
pomp and ceremony as was witnessed
upon their reception was never before
seen In Chicago, and possibly never be-
fore in the new world. The bosom of
old Lake Michigan has been heaving

From the time of their landing at
New York these strange vessels, which

of the historic craft of Erickson and
Columbus, have been accorded the
warmest receptions and have been
feted and honored, and now that they
have found safe harbor after their

This was divided into a great many
sections, with ingenious ventilating de-
vices which were automatic and kept

the natural heat of summer were
to be shown, including the direct ex-
pansion, the brine circulation and the
indirect circulation, where the air is
cooled on the top floor and then dis
tributed by means Of fans. 1t required
fifty thousand pounds of ammonia to

elements to found a new civilization
upon the shores of an UNEMPLOYED world.
The history of the caravels has been
published broadcast during the last
few months and has become familiar
to all. The history of the modern
Viking ship is of more recent date and
will prove somewhat more interesting
reading at this time. The ship Gokstab-
find was built about six months ago
after the design of the original ship
which was unearthed some time pre-
vious from a Norwegian mound It
sailed some six or seven weeks ago
from Christiania under the command of
Magnus Anderson, a splendid specimen
of Morse manhood, who had a crew of
twelve of his countrymen equal in
physique and daring to himself. In
this ship, which was open to the ele-
ments and rugged in the most primitive
fashion, these hardy mariners crossed
the raging main and after many hard
ships came safely to hand, completing
one of the most notable voyages ever
made to this country. Here. these
worthy descendants of the ancient
'creelx-men" find many countrymen
to welcome them and join with them
in the general rejoicing over their safe
arrival.
When the worlds fair is over the
immense temples dedicated to art, the
sciences and commerce will be despoiled
of their enhancing beauties, and the
buildings themselves will be sold to
some shrewd contractor, who will care
fully pull them apart board for board
and utilize thapile he accumulates in
constructing other buildings-not so
handsome but more useful. The Swed-
ish building will not suffer this COM
mon fate. Though it will be taken
down it will again be reared in its
present form. 1t will change its rest
ing place, but will still remain in Chi
cago.
It has been bought by the Martin
Luther college of Chicago, and when
the grounds and airy bowers of Jack
son park are deserted, and the place
that was the center of the world for six
months is only memory, the building
will be taken apart and removed to a
pretty site in Martin Luther college 40
, dition in the northwestern part of Chi
cago, seven miles from the courthouse.
The building is unique one, inasmuch
as it can be taken apart and put to-
gether again as often as is desired with
out injury to the building. 1t was
made in Sweden, inspected by all who
cared to see it. gently taken to pieces,

THE SWEDISH BUILDING

sand pounds would have been without
loss in bulk.
Great expectations had been based
on the popularity of the skating rink.
1t was in the room next the roof. The
ice was to be five inches thick. frozen
by pipes of circulating brine placed
close together. Balconies about the
sides were erected for spectators and a
band. The Hercules Iron company built
all the labyrinth of pipes and tanks, and
a German firm put in the boilers, SAID
to consume the smoke, thus being
capable of burning the very poorest
coal.

Especial Chicago Correspondence I

tSpeciat chicago correspondence
All Chicago, including guests and
worlds fair visitors, is yet In the throes
of horror produced by the lamentable
fate of the victims of the recent FIRE at
the cold storage building at jackson
park, and subscriptions are still pour
ing in for the benefit of the families
and dependents of the poor souls who
met with such an awful death The
exact number of lives lost in the flames
has not as yet been ascertained, but
according to the latest informa ton
twcnty-three charred and dismem bered
bodies were found in the ruins of the
Inflated building. The unfortuuates
were nearly all fremen, and the sad
fate Of their comrades has caused the
deepest sorrow among the members of
the department throughout the city.
Most of the bodies taken from the
ruins were so thoroughly incinerated
and disfigured that they were beyond
recognition, and the mourning rela-
tives and friends of those who were
known to have been lost in the flames
were more deeply plunged in grief by
their inability to identify their dead,
and the sad search among the black
ened and broken corpses for even the
faintest traces Of husbands, fathers
and brothers was pitiful in the ex-
IRENE.
The building burned was not the
property of the fair, as was quite gen.
orally supposed, but belonged to the
Hercules Iron company of Aurora, Ill.
The loss occasioned by the fire was
nearly a quarter of a million dollars,
and has caused the company to make

up for the purpose of preserving per-
tshable supplies for the fair during the
summer season, and was well stored
with provisions for hungry and thirsty
visitors. 1t also contained an ice-mau-

one hundred and twenty tons Of ice per
day, and an ice skating rink one hun

SHARKS AND SUCKERS.


How the Big Fish Garry Around the
Little Fish ON Their Backs.
The sharks in the marine section Of
the aquarium play every day and all
the day to big crowds. The sharks do
not seem to enjoy it much. There are
only two of them left now; there were
six at first, but the biggest one, FIVE
footer, and three of the smaller ones
died. Chicago-made salt water does
not seem to agree with them at all
Some folks who look at these sharks
indulge themselves in the pleasing
fancy that they are looking at real
vicious man-eaters, regular monsters
of the deep that 20 around amusing
themselves by swapping legs of sailors.
These fellows are no man-eaters,
though; they are just common sand
sharks caught in pound nets off the Car
DINA coast They are of q species that
seldom grows to be over five or six feet
long. They could not eat a man If
they tried, but they can make it lively
for the fish in sight when they get
hungry.
But whether these sharks are man
eaters or not they look exceedingly
sharky and wicked. They are long and
thin and clipper-like, and they fit
about their tanks like evil shadows.
They have curved mouths set away
back under their inquisitive shouts,
and the mouths have multitudes Of
needle-like white teeth. One of these
sharks, the larger one, has .
constant companion that causes a
good deal OF comment and guessing
among visitors. 1t is d slender fish
about eight inches long that has at
tached itself, apparently by its teeth,
to the smooth skin OF the sharks back.
1t sticks closer than q brother or q
leech. Some Of the visitors think it is
q young shark The guard will tell
you that it is a pilot fish, but that
shows that there are some things which
even Columbian guard does not know.
The fish is what the Carolina fshermeu
call sucker fish, remora. If you ask
Prof. Forbes of the fish commission he
will tell you that it is the ectieneis nau-
crates of lime.
That is a pretty imposing name for so
little fish, but the creature itself is
one Of the most interesting of swim
ming things The remora has set in
the top of its fat head an oval sucker
plate, whereby it has an easy time. The
remora attaches itself by this sucker
plate to the first big fish that comes
along and rides afotind just as lazily as
fat woman in roller chair. What
ever the big fish gets to eat the remora
has also its sharej it catches the crumbs
and leavings. There is no fish that has
more fun and an easier time than this
remora.
Some of the West Indians make this
parasite work for a living though. They
use him for an animated fishhook.
They tie string to his tail and let him
into the water to swim around until he
falls afoul of a turtle. Then when he
has laid firm hold of the turtle the wise
West Indian bags the whole outfit and
sets his remora for another turtle.

OPIUM CULTIVATION IN INDIA.

License Must be Secured from the Govern
ment-Fields Like Sheets of Silver.
As the cultivation of tobacco is pro-
hibited in England, except under spe-
cial license from the excise authorities,
so the cultivation of the poppy in Brit
ish India is forbidden unless license
has been taken out. When cultivator
takes out a permit from the opium de-
partment to cultivate a certain area
usually two-thirds of an acre Of his
own land) he receives an advance in
money to secure his allegiance, and he
binds himself to deliver to the opium
agent, at fixed price, ordinarily five
shillings Zone dollar and twenty-five
cents) pound, whatever opium may
be produced upon his land. When Off
cial supervision is efficient it is very
difficult for a man to cultivate poppy
on larger area than is covered by his
license without detection. The culti-
walton cannot be concealed. 1t is a sort
of garden cultivation, the poppy plants
being grown in little squares or beds,
intersected by tiny water channels for
irrigation whenever this is possible.
The growth of the plants is carefully
tended, and ut length the time comes
when they burst out into flower and
the fields look like sheet of silver as
the white petals of the flowers glisten
in the morning dew. These beautiful
petals are the first produce of the crop;
for the women and children of the cul-
tivators' families come forth and pick
them off one by one and carefully dry
them, so that they may serve afterward
as the covering of the manufactured
cakes of opium. Then the peoples, with
their bare capsule heads, remain stand
ing in the open field until it is consid-
cred that they are ripe for lancing.
The cultivators then come forth in the
evening and, with an implement not
unlike the knives of a cupping instru-
ment, they clarity the capsule on its
sides with deep incisions, so that the
juice may exude. In the early morning
the cultivators reappear with q scraping
knife and their earthenware pots, and
they scrape off the exuded juice and
collect it in their pots. And this is
crude opium Weekly

The music came softly, sweetly ont
to the old man and bis daughter as they
sat, half reclining, on the luxurious
cushions of the gondola, gayly deco
rated with Japanese lanterns.
The myriad of gay lights from the
cornices, from the roofs, from the
waters edge reflected in silver and gold
the fipples Of the lagoon. High up
along the balcony they could see the
flaming torches, 1ickering with Roman
"reminiscences, and the white, CHASTITY

looking down on the beautiful scene,
while all around the lagoon, sitting
upon the wide rail of the fence, lean.

about with eager, restless tread, they
could see the thousands of sightseers.

gurgling murmur of the fountains.

sympathetically sighed.
