At the conclusion of the exercises,
which lasted far into the might, a
strange sight was presented in the out
pouring of the multitude toward the
gates. All the avenues were black
with the slowly-moving masses of hu-
manity. AS far as the eye could reach
in every. direction they came swarming
and surging through every opening.
From all quarters to the exits the
stream flowed on until the railway
platforms were chol1ed to standstill.

others quickly took the places of the
departed ones. Thus the. exodus con-

many of the Fourth of July visitors did
not reach their homes in distant parts
Of the city until well on toward morn

Thus Chicago has seen her Columbian
Fourth of July, and it is safe to say
that those who participated in the eel
ebration thereof will not soon forget
the day. Altogether it was a grand
day and surprisingly free from acci-
dents. There were few minor mis-.
fortunes, but nothing of very serious
nature occurred at the grounds.

The brute sprang upon the unsus-
pecting man and seized him by the
throat. He threw his arms around the
dog, clutched it frantically, and fell
with it to the floor. For moment he
writhed in its deadly embrace, beating
his feet in agony against the stones. At
last he grew motionless, while Semil-
lante buried her fangs in his neck and
tore it to shreds. Two of Ravolati's
neighbors afterward remembered that
when sitting in the doorway of their
houses that day they had noticed an
old man coming from Nicolas house
an old man accompanied by black
dog, which fed as it ran on piece of
Drowned meat which the old man held
in his hand.
In the evening the old woman re-
turned to her home, and that night she
slept peacefully once more.

sausage like necktie around the throat
OF the lay figure, interlaclng it tightly
with the straw. This done, she un-
chained the dog.
With one bound, the animal clutched
the throat of the manikin, and, with
her paws resting on its shoulders, she
began the work of destruction. The
ravenous brute fell back with a piece
OF the sausage in her nav, only to re-
turn again to the attack, each time
burying her fangs in the fastenings
and tearing the neck into shreds.
The old woman looked on in silence,
her eyes burning with excitement.
When the sausage was eaten-the les
son concluded-she chained her dog
again, starved it for another two days,
and resorted to the same strange pas
time
For three months she trained the an
imal to this kind of sport-to this savage
means OF procuring food. 1t was no
longer necessary to chain the brute, a
simple gesture sufficed to set it upon
the man of straw. She at last taught
the dog to attack the manikin even
without putting the meat around his
neck, and as reward for this trick
gave it smoking sausage afterward
AS soon as Semillante would catch
sight of the straw man, she would
tremble and turn her eyes upon her

When Mother Saverini thought the
proper time had come, she went to
church one Sunday morning, and, with
ecstatic fervor. confessed and partook
OF communion. Then, disguised in
mans clothes, and looking like de-
crepit tramp, she went away, accom-
panied by her dog, and Sandman
fisherman rowed her across the straits
In a linen bag she carried large
piece OF sausage. Semillante had been
fasting for two days. Every now and
then the old woman held the odorifer-
GUS meat under the animals nose
When they reached Longosardo, she
repaired to bakers shop and made
inquiry as to the whereabouts of Nico-
las Ravolati. He had resumed his old
trade of carpenter and was at work all
alone in the rear end of his shop.
The old woman pushed the door open
and cried aloud: "Hey, Nicolas!"

NAVAL couesz ar cosNsLL.


Branch oil Education insugurated In
f''ti,t.o5 OF European Powers.
One Of our great universities has
taken a step in the right direction
to foster the maritime growth of the
county 0y opening school of naval
architecture and marine engineering.
Cornell university has inaugurated a
school of this kind. As the only
school of naval architecture in the
Western hemisphere this new de-
parture of Cornell merits description.
The leading powers of Europe have
long had such schools. France has
one at Paris called the government
school of naval architecture Italy
has one at Genoa.
"How long does it take to com
plete the course?" inquired a writer
for the Washington Star.
The course occupies two years,
was the reply. ..but il is SO arranged
as to require three years prepara-
tion in a good technical school before
entering uron it. 1t is intended that
students of Cornell who have reached
their senior year in the course in
mechanical engineering may then
take up this course for their fourth
college year and finish 1t in one year
of po t-graduate work Students
from other technical schools are. OF
course. admitted under the same con-
ditiou. One OF the most interesting
courses in the first years study is
that OF naval architecture. which is
intended as a general introduction to
the subject OF marine construction
1t opens with a general examination
of the ship as floating body. and is
followed by course of lectures on
ship Resistance Propulsion and
Powering.' Wave Motion and the
Oscillation OF Ships The first years
course in shipbuilding and design is
also an interesting one. In it atten-
tion is given to the best practical
construction in the actual materials
OF the ship, which has up to this
time been treated by the student as q
geometrical body. The subject is
treated from q descriptive standpoint
and various systems OF shipbuilding
and their peculiar points are studied
Then. passing to details, we cover
the most modern practice in the in
Vulnerable details of ship construc-
tioL and fitting"
You study marine machinery,
also, in the first year, do you not'"
..Oh, yes. Of course, and devote es-
pecial attention to the peculiar con-
dition under which the marine en-
gine is obliged to work. and the ad-
vautages and disadvantages OF the
different types and forms OF engines.
In the second year the course in
naval architecture is much more ad
vanced. and is based on the more
general course OF the preceding
year. We take up several topics.
ard study them in greater detail
The work in this case consists prin-
cipally of lectures. partly of directed
courses of reading and partly of per-
sonal studies on the part OF the stu
dent under my direction. The sec
oud years courses in ship design and
marine machinery are combinations
of those of the first year"

ford the proof of the pudding is not the
eating in American estimation. Speed, a
high authority, puts the maintenance of a
good highway at one per cent. of its first
cost each year. This estimate has been
demonstrated TO be correct. Yet in more
than half the counties of California
to-day the cost of maintaining and re-
pairing roads is from fifteen to sixty per
cent. of the cost, and in the case of dirt
roads it is often the whole cost over again
each year, or nearly so.
Is it any wonder that among a people
who submit to such loss that one of the
chief counties of the state, through its
Board of Supervisors. replies to the invi-
tation to send delegates TO the State Road
Convention: 1--WE do not wish to be rep
resented in the Road Convention" That
is probably an honest expression; the
of that county might be in
danger of learning, by attending, that
there are some people who divide the

FRANCE will be unable to justify her
acts Of conquest in Siam. The world
will not accept her plea that the Siamese
bad violated treaty obligations. No
doubt they had, but the remedy was to
bring them to account without seizure of
territory in permanency, as it is evident
France has done. 1t is impossible for
the impartial mind to justify France in
the annexation of the left bank of the
Mekong; she cannot excuse the act be-
fore any fair international board. If the
Great Powers shut their eyes to this OUT
rage upon a weak nation by strong one,
it will be because they have some ad-
vantage to second, and not because JUS
