Display of Electric Search Lights

with which the war vessels are provided.
Quickly following the Philadelphia's
lead the American ships showed the way
the lights are used in active warfare to
protect war vessels from attacks by tor
pedo boats. At times the projected rays
were concentrated at spots on the shore
and then turned far up the Hudson,
making objects plainly visible at dis
lance of five miles. Another signal, and
simultaneously every light in the feet
was tusned toward the zenith. The rays
converged until they formed an apex of
a brilliant, silvery pyramid of incalcula-
BILE height. Experts say it could be
seen Is miles away in any direction. 1t
was sight never before seen and never
to be forgotten by the land lubbers. In
conclusion the operators gave some ex-
amples of high art ray projecting and
described various figures on the heavens.

FROM Iron THROiTS.


German citizens. The jolly tars of all
the ships are hoping to be permitted to
participate in the land parade tomorrow.
The British flagship Blake, the Brazil
ian battleship Aquidaban. the Argentine
cruiser Ninth of July, the two German
warships, and the vicious,
UgIy-Iooking French Ironclad
the Jean Bart, seemed most to excite the
interest of the visitors. Our own mag
niticent white fleet, through one or more
of its representatives, has become some
what familiar to New York waters, but
its superb efficiency in comparison with
the foreign visitors was none the less
acknowledged. When lclose under the
bows of the British flagship its immense
size, 5000 tons, double that Of the big
Philadelphia, could be appreciated. The
German steamers are both new, the
Kaiserin Augusta, ON her trial trip, and
the Seeadler (Sea Eagle), built only two
years ago and on her maiden voyage.
The Kaiserin is reputed to have main
tanned level speed of 20 knots for an
entire day. This, of course, is sur
passed by the Argentine cruiser, which
can make % knots, and is the fastest YES
sci in the feet. 1t was a. matter of
amused surprise to many of the visitors
to be told that the immense masts of the
Jean Bart were hollow, with a winding
staircase inside leading to a fighting
tower on top. Had the strict discipline
maintained on naval review day permit
ted visiting to any of the ships, these
masts would have been one of the first
objects explored.
|, Even with the restrictions which naval
discipline imposed, the opportunity for
viewing at close range the crack ships of
the ten nations formed leading feature
in day which will be memorable for it's
spectacular effects, for the deafenlng
roar whicht the simultaneous discharge Of
$40 guns at once can produce, and for
the evidence of international friendship
which the peaceful presence of the war
ships of so many foreign powers in
American waters afforded.
The rapidity of the firing from the
American ships today was very marked,
differing greatly from that of the others:
which was much slower.
Among the distinguished guests on
board the Monmouth were Gov. Russell
Of Massachusetts, Gov. Morris of Con
necticut, Gov. Brown of Maryland,
Speaker Crisp, ex-Speaker Reed and.
many Senators and Congressman. The
Supreme Court of the United States,
whose members had been rendered invi-,
lions for the Monmouth. declined to ac-
scept them.
1t was fitting and dramatic close to
| the proceedings when, at the close of the
review, the flagship Philadelphia
| slowly steamed up to Riverside,
opposite to the tomb of Grant, and on
this day, the anniversary of his birth,
fred a salute to his memory.
At o'clock tonight, ray of light
shot upward from the Philadelphia. For
a moment it remained stationary, then
disappeared. That was the signal for

DANIEL H. BURNHAM. since then has had
the direction of the greatest mechanical
enterprise ever known to man. Perhaps
no man living is better qualified for the
work. This is no light praise, but since
it is based upon what Mr.. Durham has
actually accomplished it cannot be con-
sidered undeserved.
AS an artist and architect he had to
sit in Judgment on the work Of his asso-
ciates in planning the buildings and
grounds Of the white City," and as ex-
ecutive head of the department of con-
struction to see that those plans were
carried out to the minutest detail. Many
men doubted the possibility of conplet-
ing the exposition buildings on time.
The seeming impossibility did not daunt
Mr.. Burnham, who wasted no time in
words, but went ahead and worked. The
successful accomplishment of his great
task places his name high on the list of
those who have done great things in
architectural and artistic lines.
Mr.. Burnham is native of Jefferson
county, N. Y, and about AZ years Of
age. He went to Chicago in 1856, and
received his early education there. He
has devoted himself to architecture since
1857, and many of the largest and finest
business buildings in the Windy City,
and indeed in almost every big city in
the United States, bear testimony to his
genius and skill.

Under the management of Mr.. Palmer
The Examiner has taken front place in

line minds. The fact that it has caused
considerable keen criticism may be taken
as an indication that our wives and
daughters do not propose to accept the
dictum of the national council without
protest.
Four costumes are recommended. The
first, called the Syrian, has a divided
skirt which looks like pair Of baggy
Turkish trousers reaching to a point just
below the knee. Soft, lightweight ma
terial is suitable for this skirt An outer
garment to wear over scant Syrian
skirt may be something like the Russian
blouse made longer, an easy fitting
princess gown, Or something suggested
by graceful ulster or sleeved cloak pat
terms.
There is a modified Syrian" of which
the report says: "In walking the divi-
sion is simply limited at, not defined, as in
the Syrian, and the upper part of the
dress is more conventional and there
fore attracts less notice. Any Of the
short costumes which do not demand
Ieggings (and this does not are improved
by wearing extra high boots with
them"
A dress for the gymnasium and house
wear is recommended which will be
found great relief from long skirts.
On slender figures it is said to be really
beautiful. This suit requires no special
pattern. The fronts are cut in one piece
from the shoulder to the knee and the
dress buttons in front under the fullness.
In the back the waist is separated from
the trousers, buttoning together at the
waist line under the girdle
The American costume, which is
strongly recommended, is so easily made
that it calls for no special directions. Tt
demands leggings, which should be made
of material the same color as the gown.
There is also street costume which
looks very much like the American CO.'S
tune, except that it has a mans vest and
sack coat with balloon sleeves. II
should be made Of navy blue serge.
Tt is suggested that the Worlds fair is
good place for women to try the expert
ment OF wearing these novel costumes.

mand at Ascot, where he has to decide
the momentous question of who shall be
admittedto view the races from the royal
Enclosure. He came very near losing his
job last year, when there was an ener-
getic agitation for the abolition of the
hunt, buckhounds and all, because Of the
cruelty Of hunting tame deer, which
were the only kind that could be hunted,
as there were noiothers.
The queen and prime minister did not
view the agitation with favor, however,
and some Of the farmers and land own
ers protested against the abolition of
even a cruel sport that brought them
ducats, so the matter died out for a
time The Humanitarian society is still
interested in the question, however, and
bids fair to keep it before the people.
The secretary recently wrote to Mr..
Gladstone asking if the report were true
that the buckhounds were to be con-
tinued, and Mr.. Gladstone very diplo-
matically answered that no decision on
the subject had yet been arrived at.
