finally secured for the unfortunate nav
igator an audience with the queen of
Spain, who with the king was then in
camp with the besieging army before

have had an opportunity to discover the
new world.
Prominent among the big buildings
at the fair is the huge refrigerator or
cold storage pavilion, which is located
on the extreme western confines of the
grounds and just back of the Transpor-
tation building. In this building Will
be kept all the perishable goods, such
as meats, vegetables, ETC., for use in the
restaurants at the fair. 1t will be very
complete building in every respect for
the purpose, and in addition to its other
features it will contain, upon the top
floor, skating rink cighty-ive by one
hundred and eighty feet in extent,
where, during the hot summer months,
visitors may indulge in the novel and
refreshing pastime of skating on the ice
while the thermometer is doing its best
to melt and boil the mercury on the
outside.
TO the average citizen the process of
ice-making is profound mystery, and

toward the coast of northern Europe

Spent a Fortune to Match Color.


One can not turn away from Chinese
art objects-porcelain particularly
without deep impression of the dig
nifty and value of their "solid colors."
Many attempts have been made by
European manufacturers to initiate
them, but without success. The at
tempt to reproduce the sang de bout,
or "bullocks blood" cost an English
man thirty thousand dollars before he
abandoned the effort in despair. The
Chinese themselves have always set the
highest value on their achievements in
this line. For long time they refused
to part with the choicer examples OF
sang de boeuf, Coral" peach blow"
and crushed strawberry, and it is only
in recent years that the foreign
devils" have been able to obtain them.
The objects have no other decoration
than that of single color, ranging
from darkest to lightest shades from
black, deep red, the darkest blue or
green, the most vivid orange, to palest
pink or violet or delicate canary. 1t is
because we have in them the perfec-
ton of color united with an antique
simplicity of form that their art value
is so great. Carpet and Upholstery

professor of instrumental music has

girls, adopts at the far-famed Ha-

were that the girls would be taken
to the Worlds Fair at Chicago and
take the place of the late Hawaiian
Band at Thurston's Cyclorama.
Everything went along smoothly
until yesterday evening, when one
of the girls wanted to know how
they were going. They wanted to go
first-class cabin on the steamer, but
the professor was in doubt and told
them he would see about it. The
girls demanded an immediate an
swer, not only as to their passage,
but also requiring him to file bond
with the Government, to oinsure their
safe return. This the professor OBJ
jected to and finally threatened to
get another quartet of dancers. 1t

them out of the country privately
