She has two groups Of electrical exhibits in

or course It wonld be impossible here to
do Justice TO the French exhibit OF painting,

managers of the Department Of Fino Arts
have asserted that it is the best display Of
Frenc. art ever seen outside OF France itself.
1t hos larger space than is occupied by any
other country except our own. That the
United States has become al excellent market
for French art has been demonstrated already
for some OF the paintings have been sold, al
though they have been upon the walls hardly
two weeks. In oil paintings $50 artists are
represented, some bya single work and others
by three or four. The ''Societe des Aquarel-
listes Francais'' presents considerable
group, and 50 does the ''Societe des Pastel

such as vases, bronzes. medals. etc.

PERISHED IN A CYCLONE.
A Score ofLlves Sacrificed to Its Fury
In Kansas.

The most destructive and death dealing
cyclone that ever visited eastern Kansas
passed through Williamstown and the sur
rounding country in Jefferson County few
evenings ago.
It travelled southeast and took in a scope
of country half mile wide and about six
miles long. Not house, barn or tree was
left standing in its path. Itwas accompanied
by a terrible rain storm and midnight dark
ness. Eleven dead bodies were discovered
Immediately after it passed and It was known
that at least five more were killed.
The dead reported were: L. F. Evans,
Emery Evans, Mrs. John Hutchinson, Sam
uei Kincaide, Clara kincaide, Sadie kincaide.
Walter Kincaide, Eva Mncaide, William
K;ncaide, Samuel Stewart.
Their bodies were all horribly manSied.
Mrs. Hutchinson's arms and limbs were
found in q tree a mile from the house. Eva
kincaide's head was severed from the body.
Three persons were known to be fatally in
jured and many others were seriously hurt.
The fatally injured were James Baker,
William Goepfers, Mrs. Goepfert. 1t was
considered probable that at least twenty per-
SONS had been killed and thirty houses blown
down.

An ELABORATE DISPLAY.
THE FRENCH EXHIBIT AT
THE WORLDS FAIR.

Frances Industrial, Agricultural, Sci
entiflc and Artistic Development
Shown by Many Exhibitors in the
Chief Buildings Of the Fair-In-
tcresting Exposition Notes.
Pro5aIlv the mos. elaborate exhibit o. any
foreign Nation at the Worlds Fair. accori-
inS to a New York Post correspondent, is
that OF France. which has recently been
thrown open to the public in MI its branches.
OF course, France enjoys exceptional ad-
vantages on m occasion like the present. She
is emphatically tho Nation Of expositlons,
and is fresh from her great effort at Paris.
The exhibitors thus had the advantage OF re-
cent experience, and they were assisted also
by generous Government appropriation.
The great French section in the Manufactur-
ers' Building and the superb display III the
Art Bdilding are the most important OF her
contributions to the Chicago Fair. but in all
the other departments she is well represent
cd, and = good many OF the entertaining
shows in the Midway Plaisance are under the
management Of enterprising Frenchmen. The
official catalogue OF the whole French exhibit
has just made its appearance, and it contains
list Of I'll the exhibitors, and specifies briof-
ly what are their displays. 1t is printed IN
French. but the names of the articles shown
are translated into English for the benefit OF
American readers. From this catalogue one
can learn the full scope OF the French eH-
hibit
beginning with the Agricultural Building,
the groups embracing products OF aSricul-
ture are nine in all. with nineteen EXHIBITS.
They include olive oil, agricultural publica-
tions. grapes grains. etc. The group OF dairy
products is composed almost entirely OF
cheeses There are. also few agricultural
implements shown. but in this branch, OF
course, not much Of display can be looked
for, but the French works and publications
on agriculture are quito plentiful, and will
raDay examination. In conssrves. confec-
tionery. sardines, ETC., which come under the
head OF alimentary products, there are forty
SIX exhibits.
The department OF horticulture, viticuiture,
an Horticulture occupies the beautiful Horti-
cultural Building, and here France is repre-
serted by six groups. Tho largest Is that OF
wines and liquors. of which there are 202 ex-
hibits. They embrace cognsc brandies, al
cohols and nearly every variety OF French
uqueur and wine.
The French exhibit in the Fisheries Build
inc is not extensive, consisting almost en-
tirely O, examples of canned sardines In
the Mining Building there are twenty-four
French exhibits. the most important OF which
are probably the nickel ore and manufac-
tured articles of nickel.
The first two French groups in the Ma
chinery Building are devoted to motors and
engines. of which there are twenty-seven. dis
plays. and Of machinery for manufacture o.
textile fabrics and clothing nine are shown

THE FERRIS WHEEL.
To the Worlds Fair What EiGeis
Tower Was to Paris.

rover was To TdTlS.
The Ferris wheel is to tho Columbian ES-
position what the Eiffel Tower was to the
Paris Exposition OF 1889. 1t has not as yet
become as widely known as that sky-piercins
structure, but there is no doubt but that it
will be in time. 1t is called by engineers who
ure supposed to be competent to pass JudS-
ment even a greater engineering feat than
the Paris novelty. Whatever it may be to
the engineers, to the ordinary every day
visitor to the Midway who throws back his
head to look at the top it is pondero,IS,
great network of iron. There ls nothing
original in the idea the inventor has carried
out. 1t is little more than magnifcation
OF the ordinary '.razzle dazzle OF the county
fair.
There are thirty-six cars OF the wheel, each
capable of comfortably seating forty people.
The cars are twenty-seven feet long, thirteen
feet wide, and nine feet high, and each one
weighs thirteen tons. The wheel, with ITS
passengers, weighs 1900 tons. The whole
thing rests on two pyramidel towers at the
axis. The towers are 40 feet high, forty by
ftty feet at the base, and six feet square at
the TOP. Each tower has four feet resting on
a twenty-foot concrete foundation. Under
meath these are crossbars Of steel. The mo-
tive power comes from a 1000 horsepower
steam engine under the wheel. The wheel
is moved by cogs on the periphery, passlns
over p chain that looks like Dammoth D.
cycle chain.

Three of Them Shot Dead, and
Others Badly Wounded.

A gang OF convlcts employed in q quarry
broke for liberty at the Folsom (Cal. Prison.
They seized Frank Briare, lieutenant OF the
guard, put pistol to his head and startedt to
run up hill.
The guards were unable to shoots Briare
WAS in the grasp OF The aonvicts, and as they
were closely banded together a shot might
mean death to him. Just before reaching the
summit OF the hill Briare jerked away and
the guards opened fire.
The conylcts concealed themselves Us best
they could behind the rocks and returned
the fire. Tho guard was reinforced and q
terrific light took place. which lasted fully
half an hour. The guards using Gatling
guns, Winchester rifles and revolyers.
Finally ono OF tho couvicts held up his hat
on the end OF his rifle s!s token OF sur
render. Warden Aul, Cap ain Murphy and q
few guards advanced to tn, convicts' strong
hold, where they found thI co stretched dead
on tho ground and another badly wounded
by three or four bullets. None OF the
prisoners escaped, nor were any Of the
guards injured.

in Russia.

While the ancient Church OF Romano, at
Borisoglebsk, Russia, on the Volga, was
crowded with pilgrims from all parts OF
Yaroslav, who had come to take part in the
annual church procession, panic WAS
caused by q false alarm OF fire which had
been raised by thieves in order to facilitate
their operations. When the firemen arrived,
in answer to the tolling OF an alarm by the
sexton OF the church they found the door
locked.
Breaking it in they witnessed fearful
sight. In tho mad rush for the exit hun
drcds had been knocked down and stamped
upon, while others had been suffocated by
the pressure Of the great throng OF terror
stricken people.
The bodies OF 126 women and ten men
wero taken from the church. Nor was this
the total number of victims, rs several
other persons had been killed and twenty
fatally injured by leaping from windows
thirty feet from the ground.
