PIowed Hin n Meteor In California,

About year ago great meteor fell
at or near Table mountain. The fall of
the visitor from unknown spheres and
the CONSERVATION it caused among those
who were witnesses were told in a graphic
manner to reporter of this paper by
Professor George H. Stout, superintend-
ent of schools, and created wide interest.
Searching parties were organized, and
several scientific gentlemen came here to
get if possible piece of the meteor. Mr..
Stout received letters from all over the
United States and even from Europe.
But despite strenuous efforts no trace of
the mysterious mass could be found.
The other day, however, Charles E.
Bloomfield, who resides some miles to
the west of where this meteor was sup
posed to have struck, discovered what is
undoubtedly a fragment of the same.
He was blowing his field when the i'm
plement turned up a mineral mass which
Mr.. Bloomfield Immediately recognized
as not being Of the ordinary character
He brought the came to Oroville, and it
is now on exhibition. The fragment

Color In the worlds Fair Buildings

Color In the Worlds Fair buildings.
The choice of an "off white for the
basis of the decorative plan of the fair
was in the last degree felicitous-prima-
rily because it offers the best field for
the animating wizardry of the sun and
because it shows to the best advantage
the beauties of architectural and sculp-
tural ornament with which the build
ings have been enriched, but also be-
cause it gives better relief than any other
tone could give to the floating gonfalons
on the cornices, to the turf, TO the floral
decorations everywhere, to the vegeta-
ton in the lagoon and finally to the
stream of pedestrians which moves cease
lessly beneath the shadow of the MAN.
moth buildings.
Just because it does give such strong
relief to any darker tints coming into
contact with it, it is important for such
of the latter as are comprehended in the
painted decoration to be manipulated
with taste. / think they have been, in
the main, in the buildings on the Court
of Honor. In that one of them, for exam
pie, which stands as the head and front
of the exhibition-the Administration
building-the glimpses of color caught
between the columns of the loggia in the
second stage of the composition are of a
character to heighten perceptibly the eff
feet of the tonal scheme and yet remain
in the subordinate position which be-
longs to the recessed walls on which the
decoration is laid. This wall is painted
a dull red.
Seen from the ground, the roof of the
loggia throws deep shadow behind the
columns supporting it, but so large in
scale is the building that even at a dis
lance the color actually counts and is as
distinct factor in the beauty of the
structure as are the white surfaces from
the ground to the wall above the loggia
or the gilded splendor which thence up
to the crown of the dome is the most
dazzling mark on the horizon.-Royal

English Military Punishn ems.

Our old English military punishments
were not destitute of ingeniously de-
vised discomfort.
For instance, there was the wooden
horse on u movable stand, made in the
similitude of that animal, with head and
tail attached to increase the likeness, of
planks nailed together and meeting in a
sharp ridge. Upon this ridge, us upon
the back of horse, the culErit rode
astride with his hands tied behind him
and his legs dragged down by attached
muskets to prevent, according to a
CHASTITY joke of that time, his lorse kick
ing him.
There was also the picket, kind of
torture in which one hand was fastened
to hook in post above the head of the
criminal, while his suspended body was
supported by his bare heel resting on a
wooden stump, narrowed, to cause him
the greater inconvenience.
These punishments were discontinued
as leading to rupture and lameness. In
running the gantlet or the gantlope the
wretched soldier ran between two lines
of his comrades and was beaten by
switches and insulted by the worst of
them--a form of torture degrading SOL
diers to executioners, and perhaps the
most cowardly and intolerable ever con-
ceived.-London Tit-Bits.
