He had long chin whiskers and a

Spend Lots of Money.

Visitors at the fair are estimated Ia
have spent within the ground fifteen
million dollars, which is in addition to
the money paid for admission. OF this
amount three million dollars, accord
ing to Chief Clerl, Blackwell, of the de-
partment of collection, has gone into
the treasury of the exposition. More
over, business with the con~cessionaires
is increasing, and it is expected this
source Of income will net ten million

There are quite a number of their
houses built of Eastwood bark and
rooted with elm. They are symmet-
rical, orderly-looking structures. and
by no means so primitive as the mate
rial would indicate. The largest one of
the group is the council lodge. Origi-
nally the interior was divided into six
sections by mat partitions. The repre-
sentatives of each tribe occupied a sec
ton in their debates, and when a de-
cision was reached among each squad
of petty chieftains the dividing mats
were thrown aside and a general debate
ensued.
The council lodge now is used as a
sort of bazar. in which relics of the
days when the Six Nations were the
warriors of the continent are shown

Description of the Most Interesting Event
! in His Career.
His Royal Highness Somditch Phra
Orc sad hiruj Chowfa Maha V%ajirunhis,
heir to the throne of Siam, was born in
1877. He is a very bright and interest
ing boy. The king takes great pains
with his education, so that he may well
fill the high position he is to occupy.
His majesty is very fond of his chill
dren, and on public occasions is fire.
quently seen accompanied by the
crown prince and others of the little
princes.
BY ancient custom in Siam, a lock of
hair of every young child is allowed to
grow long OF the top Of the head, and
is kept coiled up. The wealthy often
fasten it with jeweled pins, and the
head is adorned by circlets of white
flowers, projecting above which isseen
the little jet-black topknot of hair.
When girls reach the age of about
eleven, and boys are from twelve to
fourteen years old, this topknot is cut
off, and afterward the hair is worn
short by both men and women.
The cutting off of this topknot is the
occasion of a joyous festival, and is
made an interesting era in child-life.
In January, 1891, there vas observed
at Bangkok a very interesting old
Siamese custom called the ''Sokan,n or
~hair-cutting ceremony, celebrated in
honor of the crown prince. 1t was at
tended with some very novel perform

Propitious days are sought for, and
priests are invited to assist, to involve
blessings upon the children, and to
avert misfortunes and evils.
Relatives and friends assemble and

which are kept until the time comes
for the children to take the response
bilities of life upon themselves. No

garded as a mark of respect and good
will to be present and make some gift

THE GREAT CLOCK TOWER,
wonderful Timepiece with Neither Main
spring Nor Pendulum.

spring Nor Pendulum.
The great clock tower in the Manu-
features building commands the won
der and admiration of every visitor. 1t
is n hundred and fifty feet high, has
four ~seven-foot dials seventy feet above
the main floor of the building and con-
tains a complete chime of nine sweet
toned bells, weighing fourteen thou
sand pounds. The mechanism of this
great timepiece is vastly different from
the ordinary town clock which sur
mounts the courthouse, church or pub
lie school at the home of the rural Wis
itor. 1t comprises the latest horolog-
ical inventions and is part of a system
OF more than two hundred self-winding
clocks which are all controlled andreg-
ulated by the master clock in the pa
vilion.
The great tower clock is part of the
exhibit of a large clock company, of
New York. The selt-winding clock in
its simplest form consists of an ordi-
nary train from the center arbor to the
escapement-the other arbors and
wheels and the handspring being omit
ted fine spring six feet long and
.006 OF an inch in thickness, attached
at its inner end to the arbor and at its
outer end to the spring barrel. A small
electric motor concealed in the clock
case carries the spring barrel once
around. thereby storing sufficient en-
ergy in the spring to run the clock an
hour. AS a result of the frequent wind
ing and reduction of friction the power
required to run a self-winding clock Is
only one forty-sixth part of that used
/ n ordinary clocks. The motor will
run a year without attention at a cost
OF less than twenty-five cents. The
master clock at the pavilion synchro-
nizes all the clocks throughout the ex-
position grounds and buildings by an
hourly electrical impulse which in
stantly corrects every clock to the sec
ond.
The fact that the company produces
an accurate tower clock which will CD
crate perfectly without reference to
the steadiness of the tower or the loca-
ton of the controlling clock is leading
to the introduction of the electric tow
er clock in many places where the or.
binary weight and pendulum clock
would be impracticable.

estry building, in the southeastern por-
ton of the grounds. Here. dwelling in
a state as nearly copied after the man
ner of their forefathers as circum-
stances and surroundings will permit,
are representatives of the six tribes of
the state of New York. These tribes
nee formed that great federation
known as the Six Nations, then a great
power, but now a mere shadow of their
former greatness.
The names of the tribes are the Onei-
das, Cayugas. Onandagas, Senecas, Tus-
and Mohawks. They all meet
in a big bark council lodge. and M
queer feature of their meetings is thai
their native dialects differ SO that they
all have to speak English

up in robes, such as their fathers wore
when New York city was a much
smaller village than 1t is now, and hold
a sort of state reception. 1t is intended
later to reproduce some of the national
customs and dances for the benefit of Wis
itors. but they have not got that far as
yet. The men who represent the Six
Nations are almost all of them men of
distinction in the tribes.
There is Chief Jack of the Tus-
caroras, who is the secretary of Iro-
quois nation; Solomon O'Bail, the
grandson of old Chief Cornplanter, a
one-time friend of George Washington,
In whose honor the president directed a
medal to be struck off; and not least in
the list is Deerfoot, the matchless run
ner who has even raced in England,
and whose run of an hour has never
been beaten. An old man he is now,
but hale and fond Of sitting in the big
council tent attired in his buckskin
suit and r%ecounting events in his STIR
ring life with a little chuckle of ap-
probation. At the mention of the
prince of Wales the chuckle deepens,
and he tells that he dined with the
prince some twenty or thirty years ago.
1--WE were pals" he laughs, with an odd
mimicry of the English accent. Solo
mon O'Bail is a sturdy old fellow of
near seventy, who still clings to the re-
ligion of his fathers undetled by any
admixture with the creeds of the aliens.
He is a sociable old gentleman, and al
ways ready to answer questions, and
often puts himself to great pains to ex-
plain some little thing to the visitor.
Among the other oddities on sale are
a number of grewsome corn-husk masks
used in the new year dances. One of
the visitors questioned Mr.. O'Bail about
these and drew put an interesting &C.
count of the three yearly dances of the
tribes.
The civilization of the Six Nations is
at present precisely like the civilization
of the rest of New York state. They
have the same schools, the same
churches, and the same habits. This
camp at the fair grounds is as much a
revival as the spelling bee or old-time
singing school, with which our modern
churches regale themselves occasion
ally.
The coal miner is generally above his

among the buildings. In the general
rush for the leading points of interest
these lesser features are overlooked,
and when the hasty visitor has done"
the fair and returned home and reads
in his family paper a description Of

he regretfully exclaims: why, / didn't

that he might have had more for his
money had he used his eyes to better
advantage.
Common interest naturally centers
in the main buildings of the fair and
these are constantly thronged with
eager sightseers. People get in among
the wonderful collections of the arts
and industries, and so intent do they be-
come upon the magnificent displays of
mans skill and ingenuity that their
time slips away, and they suddenly
awaken to the consciousness that if
they are to see all of the fair they
must skip some things, and they hurry
along from n point to another, and
this way lose much of superior interest.
