The Society of American Artists in
New York has elected women to mem
bership, thus recognizing their equality
with men as artists-or rather, recog.
nizing the fact that in art there is he
sex. If they have never put any OF
their women members on their juries
can we wonder, or should these womer
complain? Probably the day will come
when some woman member will win SC
high reputation that she will have to
be put on the jury, lest the outside
world say that the jury does not really
represent the best minds in the society.
But that time has not yet come, and its
coming can be fastened only by good
hard work ON the part of individual
women, who don't think of their sex az
all in connection with their pictures.

lain who was, for four years, consul
general to Belgium.
Mrs. Chetlain is an eastern woman.
She was born at Lowell, Mass, and
lived there long enough to remember il
as the home of her childhood. After
her marriage to Gen. Chetlain and her
long residence abroad, Mrs. Chetlain
settled in Chicago, where she is now
one of the leading women in all matters
social and educational.
The Fortnightly club of which Mrs
Potter Palmer is an enthusiastic mem
Der, and the Friday club, both claim
Mrs. Chetlain in their ranks.
But, besides being club woman and
an enthusiast upon special topics, Mrs.
Chetlain is, and has always been, an
earnest worker. In 1862 President Lin.
coin appointed Mrs. Chetlain to one OF
the post offices in the Uuited States.
She now holds a copy of the commission
signed by him. Her appointment
marked new era for women. 1t was
the first time woman had been per-
mitted to tread upon the territory SO
long considered the property of men.
Mrs. Chetlain held the post of post
mistress for long time and only gave
it up when compelled thereto by family
duties.
Her work in Chicago this summer
is very arduous. As the lady manager
from Chicago she is pledged to receive
guests with Mrs. Potter Palmer in the
reception room of the Woman's build
ing twice week. She has charge of
the press work of the womans build
ing. The duties of making out the
programme for the entertainments is
hers. And the expediency of receiving
or rejecting late exhibits is also left to
her Judgment.
Later events have shown that Abra-
ham Lincoln was not mistaken when
he decided that women had brains and
that new fields could be advantageous.

AT THE AQUARIUM.
Latest Arrivals to Peer at Visitors fror
Lagoons and Glass Cases.

Latest Arrivals to Peer at Visitors from
Lagoons and Glass Cases.
Surgeons and sword fish too big to
stretch their legs in the aquarium tanks
are the last distinguished arrivals in
the Fisheries building. They were
dumped into the lagoon about the CEN
trail fountain, where they are now at
home to visitors. Some of them are big
enough to eat babies with the ease
of Gauges crocodile. The other new
corners are long chaps with tusks for
teeth and cruel looking jaw sand pecul-
lar freaks that both swim and walk,
spelling their weary fins with trip on
stubby legs. Deep sea toads, big enough
to furnish steaks and family roasts, sit
sulllily on the clammy bottoms of the
tanks of brine, with strange monsters
for companions. This last collection
makes the aquarium complete. How
ever, the plan is to keep the special
cars constantly in transit to bring new
creatures and more of the old ones
each trip.
The aquarium is not large enough to
accommodate the crowds. The popu.
larity of the exhibit has exceeded ex-
pectation. 1t is now among the favor
ties, with the interest increasing daily
Some enthusiasts are working to have
this feature also made permanent as a
park attraction when the exposition is
closed.

of summer, which we have every right

providing the weather bureau does not

pier will afford a cool retreat from the
glare of the white buildings. Here the
boats unload their passengers, and this
also will furnish a very taking subject
for contemplation. On this pier, which

given out as the intention of the direc-
tory to open the grounds to visitors on
Sunday and charge only twenty-five
cents admission.
This action on the part of the direc-
tory, or the intelligence that such ac-
ton was contemplated, greatly annoyed
the church people of the whole coun-
try, and steps were taken to prevent
the opening if possible. 1t has been
reported that pressure was brought to
bear on the national commissioners in
order to defeat the intentions of the di
rectory. How true this is cannot be
stated, but this much is certain, the
commissioners have done nothing up to
the present writing to thwart the
wishes of the directory. The latest
move on the part of the board was to
amend the rules, which precluded Sun
day opening, to read as follows:

Population of the Fair.

1t seems that the term city" as it
has been applied to the worlds fair,
with various descriptive adjectives, is
not so purely imaginative as would APP
pear. In the daytime with a throng of
twenty thousand sightseers in its gates
it is city, of course. But the fair has
a permanent as well as a transient
population. The census of this munich
pality varies, but worlds fair man
who has been figuring up little says
that the permanent population alone is
about fifteen thousand by day and five
thousand at night 1t includes exhib-
itors and their assistants, Columbian
guards, and workmen of various sorts,
including janitors and Others.

extends about block out into the
lake, just south of the grand entrance
to the lagoon, there is a movable side
walk which takes people its entire
length. THIS in itself is unique fea-
ture, and one that will command large
patronage.
Aside from the points named there
are a number of other choice spots
which will be much frequented by those
who tire easily of the exhibits in the
great buildings of the fair.

Especial Chicago Correspondence

There is at present much uneasiness
in certain quarters about the Sunday
opening of the fair. The directory
promptly closed the gates on the first
Sunday in obedience to the mandate of
congress, and made no effort to open
on the following Sunday, but at one of
its meetings, held few days ago, that
body came to the conclusion that con-
gress could exercise no authority over

Greatest Show the World Ever Saw.

That the fair as an exhibition is
bound to be success is admitted even
by its greatest enemies. Men and news
papers that have decried it for two
years and predicted great and humili-
ating failure are ready now to concede
that Chicago has done more than it
promised to do, and that if the people
of the country do not respond and go
and get the benefit of the exhibition
they will lose sight of the greatest
aggregation known to modern civiliza-
ton. That the worlds fair will de-
serve this distinction when it is fully
under way is only stating a plain fact.
The outlay of sSS, $50, 900 in preparation
would compel the greatest show the
world ever saw unless there had been
shameful waste. OF the latter there
seems TO have been very little. Prob.
ably no previous fair can show less;
while the sl6, 900, 900 worth of exhibits,
making an aggregate expenditure of
$50, 900, insures an exhibition sur
passing anything of the kind recorded
by history.-Philadelphia Press.

How the Young Man Happened to Get &
 Weeks Vacation So Easily.
 These are busy times among the worlds fair people, and the man who gets "a day off, is counted fortunate. This state of affairs, says the Chicago Tribune, bothered clerk in one of the departments who had arranged to get married last Wednesday. He wanted at least week to get used to the new order of things, and, what is more, he did not want his fellow-laborers in the cause of Chicago's great fair to learn of hls matrimonial intentions un- til after the agony was over. So it was with fear and trembling that he waited on the chief of his department.
 ''Mr. Smith," said he, 'I would like to get little vacation, say week from next Wednesday,"
 'Um-," said the chief 'What's that about Wednesday? You want a weeks holiday, eh? What for?"
 The matrimonially inclined young man blushed trif1e, stammered little, and finally blurted out:
 ''I'm going to get married on that day and l don't want anybody to know anything about it.
 ''Going to get married Wednesday," {" echoed the chief in surprised tones. 'Well, my boy, so am I, and I don't want anyone to know about my case either. Take the week. I'm going to take two"

 A fussy little woman went to an or plan asylum to adopt an orphan. She picked out little girl with red hair, and, after giving receipt for her. left.
 She returned the next day, says the New York Herald, and said to the sJl- perintendent: My husband thinks this orphan won't suit. Haven't you got any with black hair and blue eyes?"
 The superintendent hunted through the institution and found nothing of the color wanted. It is rather a rare combination anyway, I have heard. Then the woman got mad.
 ''Why don't you keep proper assort- ment of orphans?" she demanded. "What's the use of running place in this one-horse way? Over in the Brook lyn home they've got orphans of all colors. You'll ruin the business if you act like this. Don't you find your GUS toners are going elsewhere? When do you think you'll have orphans with black hair and blue eyes?"
 'The colors aren't fashionable" said the superintendent, 'but I shall be pleased to communicate with you and fill your order when I am able to do so.
 Well, see that you do," answered the woman, little modified. "These institutions aren't half what they used to be. Don't keep me waiting longer than a week.
 And she left the red-haired one and went home. Every time the bell rings she thinks it is an congressman bringing her orphan order with black hair and blue eyes.

 "Here, boy! say, boy! come herein black my shoes!''
 The young gamin grinned, unslung his blacking kit, and set to work on the dainty boot set before him.
 ''I just think I've got as much right to get my shoes blacked in the street as men have" said the girl, saucily.
 ''Oh, Mabel, you mortify me. Come away, that's dear"

LAUGHING GAS.
interesting Information Given by
 Dentist.
He Describes the Process by Which the Queer Stuff Is Made Its Remark
 able Effects Upon Some People.

"I inhale about twenty gallons of laughing gas every day" said surgeon dentist who, according to the New York Mail and Express, makes business of pulling teeth. "No, I don't do it for pleasure, but for the purpose of show ing patients how to take it. The i'm portant thing is to inhate the lungs with few big brcaths from the gas bag; then complete unconsciousness supervenes and no pain whatever is felt. On the contrary, the dreams of persons under the influence of nitrous oxide are usually most agreeable. An Irish girl who came to me the other day to have tooth extracted exclaimed on awaking: Sure, thought I was at a waker A German told me that he dreamed he was in a lager-beer saloon. A little boy said that he thought he was up in the air, bolding on to the tail of kite
 ''That enormous bag like balloon which you saw dragged into the office a few minutes ago is filled with laugh ing pas. It is made of canvas coated with rubber and holds two hundred gallons. The quantity suffices for only about twenty-five patients, because they waste good deal from not know ing how to take it. The stuff does not cost much to manufacture, however. It is made from nitrate of ammonia, which is a salt obtained by boiling am- monia in nitric acid. We buy it in gran ulated shape, and all that is necessary in order to get the gas from it is to boil it in water. In the laboratory we put five or six pounds of it into a long, necked flask, beneath whichis a lighted Bunsen burner. The flame is very hot, because atmospheric air is rapidly SUD- piled to it.
 1.-The nitrate of ammonia salt is melt ed in the flask, and the gas which it gives off by evaporation passes over through tube into sealed jar partly filled with water. Bubbling up through the water it passes through another tube into a second water jar, and so through four jars successively. Being thus passed through water several times it is perfectly purified. When first generated it contains good deal of impurity, especially oxide of iron, WHICH COU16S 1TOn Il0 HOu N0SS6IS III which the ammonia was boiled with nitrate acid. But all impurities are re- moved in the manner I have described; and the nitrous oxide finally goes through a pipe into great metal tank. The tank is composed of two big cylin- ders, one partly filled with water and the other set upside down inside the first. If you will take a tall tumbler and invert it inside of another tall tumbler that is slightly bigger and which has some water in it, you will have the idea exactly.
 "The expansive power of the gas is so great that it lifts the inside cylinder steadily out of the outside one, the water meanwhile keeping the nitrous oxide from escaping. When the tank is filled the operator knows it by the height to which the cylinder is elevat- ed. To fill one of these huge rubber bags with the gas he simply draws the gas off from the tank into the bag until the latter is completely inflated and can hold no more. ..g

 Tax-Payers with Dismay.
 While France, England and Australia are confronted by more or less destruc- tive civil broils in the shape of strikes and loclzouts, Germany is somewhat grimly preparing for the international conflict which we are constantly told is inevitable, but which somehow or other has not yet come off, says the Review of Reviews. In order to bring the Ger man army up to the numerical strength of the French, the government has pro- posed to increase the annual draft by 70,000 men a year and to reduce the term of service from three years to two. They also propose to add S2O,OOO,OOO a year to the army estimates, which al- ready amount to S100, ,000,0 per an mum. There is great hubbub Tn ter many over this increase Of the burdens of the Fatherland. Already German industry suffers to an extent almost in- conceivable in countries which are not plagued with conscription. me pros pect of increased taxation on beer, to- bacco, etc, fills the common man with dismay Bismarck also has lost no time in letting it be understood that he is as much as ever opposed to reducing the number of years of military service, and by-election in Bavaria, in which an auti-government Catholic nearly de- feated a ministerial supporter of the center, has caused grave uneasiness in Berlin. Negotiations are going with the pope, who, curiously enough, seems likely to have the commanding voice in fixing the quota of soldiers in the army of the first Protestant power on the continent-the Luther celebra- tion notwithstanding.
