Doctors Of all schools, kinds and degrees are

has been o medicine used in general practice
or known to the medical profession, compe-
tent to cure asthma. They say there is no cure

asthma. The Red Cross Constitutional medi-

"The strange races that dwell west Of
the Mississippi" is the ContemptuOua
way an eastern paper speaks Of the peo-
pie Of Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and
other western states. Strange races In
deed. What kind Of strange races are
those that dwell on the Atlantic Sea-
boardH Poles, Czechs, Greeks and what
not. The east dare not critiCise the west
on nativity. There are more Americans
In Kansas than in Boston, New York,
Brooklyn and Jersey City combined. We
are the real Americans. There are more
union veterans in Kansas in proportion
TO the population than in any other state
in the union. The idea Of being in
suited continually by foolish editors
whose papers are read by snd--who rep
resent a mi-European population, is
getting pretty tiresome to Americans
whose ancestors have lived in this coun-
try 200 years. There are hundreds Of
thousands Of KsnsBns who can trace
their lineage back that far. If we choose
to have new ideas in this state, it is Cer-
tainly our right; perhaps it is evidence
Of superiority. We ought to be proud of
our grand American state Of Kansas.
Nearly every man, woman and child in
this state was born on soil over which
the stars and stripes were waving when
he was born. We don't propose to be
criticised as "a strange race west Of the
Mississippi" Stand up for Kansas, and
hurrah for America and Americans

Wild forest scenery only is needed to
make the logging camp realistic as well
as picturesque. Lying near it is low
wagon holding 36,O5O feet of timber
This load is one of the biggest shipped
out of Michigan on one car. The logs
are arranged in the form of pyramid
thirty feet high, and in the most airy
way possible. But for the thick chains
bound in and out of the logs one could
imagine the heaps topping over at the
slightest breath. Some of the logs
measure three feet in diameter.
The cabin is of hemlock, the logs be-
ing sawed in the interior, leaving the
rough bark outside. The crannies be-
tween the logs are stuffed with strips
of bark The gable is made of Norway
pine, as are the beams. The roof,
which is not yet completed, will consist
of hemlock scoops. These scoops are
the remnants of the trees after the in
terror has been scooped out. The logs
are then cut lengthwise and nailed to
the roof, one forming trough down
which the rain can trickle. another
with the bark up, forming bridge be-
tween the concave scoops. The height
of the cabin is eighteen feet, while
above the gables two tarmarac flag
poles shoot twenty feet in the air.
Every implement used by lumbermen in
northern Michigan will be exhibited in
the sleeping-room. Behind the cabin
will be ranged five logging cars, carry
ing loads of hard wood and headed by
a regulation logging locomotive. Sew
eral logwheels used for hauling logs in
the summer will be rolled alongside
the cars.
This exhibit will give the city people
some idea of the rough life of the lum-
herman in the dense pine forests of the
north and will illustrate to the uniniti-
ated the immense labor involved in pro-
curing material for the building of our

Especial Chicago Correspondence

The streets of Chicago now present
some strange sights. In an hours
stroll through the business section one
may come across the turbaned Turk,
stalking maiestically along under big
load of self-importance; the coal-black
Ethiopian, with his monstrOus earrings
and bangles of brass; the swarthy lit
tie Jap, with his beadlil1e little eyes
taking in everything that passes, and
vet pretending to see nothing; the
hooded Bedouin of the desert; the dried
up, mummified Javanese, whose ap-
pearance strongly suggests the need of
a good securing: and in fact speci-
men of almost every race under the
sun. They are all here. at any rate,
and if You don't meet them in our
streets all you need do, if you wish to
see them, is to take a trip out to jack
son park and there you will find them
without any trouble.
1t is quite a comical sight to see a
wild son OF the Sahara, clad in the
strange habiliments of his desert land,
scooting about among the teams on our
street crossings.
A number of Arabs were going down

crowded crossing. One of them gath

An Ocean OddItv

There are scores upon scores of diiler-
ent forms of marine animal life that
comes within the category assigned to
star fishes" but the most singular
specimen in the whole group is the
splendid Astrophyton-the'Sea Basket
of the sailor. 1t is truly a wonderful
specimen of marine life, having hun
dreds of long and short, straight, twist
ed and curled tentacles; and, but for the
geometric precision of the plan upon
which the star-lil1e body" is fashioned,
might be mistaken for a miniature,
circular specimen of the devil fish.
The center of the creature, the ''hub''
from which the five stout arms radiate,
is the body head and thinking machine
of our curious Astrophyton- The whole,
not including the labyrinthine tentacles,
which branch to all the points and in
termediate points of the compass, looks
for all the world like an animated Fourth
of July fire wheel. The five main arms
are divided into three each within a
short space from the astro's body. and
these three are almost Immediately sub
divided into innumerable other arms
and tentacles. the whole forming a net
by means of which it captures its prey
and holds its victims until the life has
been sucked out of them.--St. Louis Re

One of the leading attractions just at
present is the beautiful Fisheries build

fair grounds. The exhibits are rapidly
coming in, and among them are some of
the wonders of deep sea life. This

quented buildings of the exposition.
Here in the vast aquariums darting
about in the crystalline waters will be
seen the finny tribes of almost every
lake and stream on the globe, and in the
deep sea tank in the center of the build
ing will be found rare forms of salt
water life.

FISHERIES BUILDING.

Rhode Island. Oregon. Washington
North Carolina, Wisconsin. Pennsyl
vania, Missouri, Ohio and Minnesota,
Pennsylvania and Wisconsin will each
show its methods of fish propagation
and culture. There will also be water
ways by which fish climb the mountain
rivers and rapid-fowing streams. And
in addition to the live fish in tanks
these states will show models and pho
tographs of their hatcheries
The Japanese exhibit will be the
largest of any of the foreign countries
in the building. Besides the fish
products there will be models of the diff
ferent boats used in Japan. One Sec
ton of this exhibit will be display OF
isinglass made from seaweed. which is
made in many colors, and which, when
held to the light resembles the stained
glass used IN church windows. There
are said to be a great many fishermen
in the land of the mikado and they
take great interest in everything per-
tanning to the pursuit. Their exhibit
therefore will doubtless be very COM
plete and extensive.
The transportation of the fisheries ex-
hibitS from all parts of the world has
been attended with many difficulties
and much expense. Huge tanks have
been constructed and special cars and
vehicles have been fitted up, and with
all the pains taken there has been much
loss and disappointment experienced by
those interested in the displays. Sew
eral rare and valuable specimens of fish
life have died in transit, and some that
it will be impossible to replace.
The attempt is made TO reproduce as
nearly as possible in each tank the con-
ditions under which the fish who will
inhabit them naturally live. There
will be tree stumps for perch to lie I'M
der, rock reefs for lake trout. and grav-
ely bottoms for river trout. The plants
that will grow in the aquaria will also
conform to the character of those found
in the waters from which the fish are
taken. One immense tank, seventy feet
long, twelve feet wide, and five feet
deep, already finished, shows ridges of
rock peculiar to the river-beds of the
Mississippi valley.
among the recent arrivals at the
Fisheries building are two large Florida
alligators. They are perhaps the largest
living specimens that ever came to Chi
cago, being about twelve feet in length
and well proportioned. These southern
strangers are to be provided with spe-
cial tanks, and as they are very vicious
will be safely fenced in to prevent them
from reaching out and taking in any
careless visitor who might take them
for inanimate objects and venture too
close.

house commissioners had to content
themselves with showing to the world
how grain was graded, with the integ.

sixty-eight grades of grain now in
force will be represented by the &C.
tual grain, and an expert inspector
Will be at hand to explain how the
grading is conducted. All the ap-
pliances of the service will be there.
Where dampness is the cause of differ
ing grades, new grain will be supplied
as fast as the old dries out The west

wheat is graded on its arrival in Chi
cago in about five minutes. The other
lines of work of the commissioners
could not be well represented.

In addition to the live fish there will
be great many prepared specimens
displayed in glass cases There will
also be varied assortment of fishing
boats and tackle from different nations,
and queer models and implements from
the celebrated fisheries of the world
The process of Matching and rearing
fish will be fully illustrated, and the
lover of piscatOrial pursuits will here
find much to edify and entertain him.
Norway has a wonderful exhibit.
The fisheries of that country employ
more than eighty thousand men. and
nineteen thousand boats. The exhibit
now ready to be installed consists
largely of full-sized boats and models
of fishing vessels, equipped with nets
and other apparatus. Cod, maclzerel
and herring form the major part of the
Norwegian exhibit in commercial
sense, but the most interesting feature
about their space will be the display of
boats.
From Mexico will come illustrations
of the pearl fisheries OF the Gulf of
California, showing how the natives
descend to depths OF more than one
hundred feet to capture the precious
oysters.
Canada displays the famous methods
of Nova Scotia fishermen, and will also
send a creditable exhibit of the food
and commercial products of her fisher
les. There will also be a large collec-

we are told occurred at the building of
the tower of Babel. In Midway Plais-
ance, which has become part of the
fair grounds, one admission admitting
to both, where the foreign nations have
their buildings, the opportunities for
studying some of the strangest people
on earth are manifold. Here the Alge-
rians and Tunisians are busy with their
building material; there the Egyptians
are putting the finishing touches to
their booths: Ard wonder are the people
from Ceylon, deeply intent upon the

have composite city of villages from
the different countries on the other side

Il is wonderful how quickly some of
these strangers from abroad become
Americanized. The Egyptians are es-
pecially apt in their studies of our lam
guage and manners. This was quite
noticeable in one instance, when, a few
days ago, group of them entertained
their American visitors with their eff
forts TO converse in English. They
would try to pronounce every word that
was spoken to them and the mistakes
that they made were ludicrous beyond
description. One of them, keen-eyed
young chap with world of mischief in
his brown head, was born comedian
He possessed rudimentary knowledge
Of several languages, and he spared
himself no pains to entertain the crowd.
He first sung song in his own tongue,

vulsed his companions with laughter.

he vigorously beclloned his companions

great vehemence, something in his ma

teamstcrs. His brethren soon Joined

the corner they held a consultation,

not. Having decided the matter they
