Fifty thousand pounds of ammonia to

close of the exposition the fifty thou

Great expectations had been based
on the popularity of the skating rink:
II was i'm the room next the roof. The
ice was to be five inches thick. frozen
by pipes of circulating brine placed
close together. Balconies about the
sides were erected for spectators and

all the labyrinth of pipes and tanks, and
a German firm put in the boilers, said
to consume the smoke thus being
capable of burning the very poorest

The loss of this building will be
severely felt by the concessionaires at
the fair who depended upon il for sup
plies during the heated term, and it is
highly probable that the destruction of
the supplies stored in it will occasion
much inconvenience and SOME loss in
various quarters.
There is in this calamity a sugges-

doubtless heed and that is the urgent
need of fire escapes on the large build-

A kissing Fair.

Halmagen, = Roumaniau country
town of twelve hundred inhabitants,
holds its annual fair on the feast of st.
Theodore. On this occasion the place
swarms with newly-married brides
from sixty to eighty villages in the dis
trict; widows who have taken fresh
husbands remain at home. The young
women, in festive attire and generally
attended by their mothers-ih-law. carry
Jugs of wine enwreathed with flowers
in their hands They kiss every man
they meet and afterward present the
jug to his lips for a nip" The indi-
vidual thus RECALLED bestows a small gift
on the fair Cybele. Not TO partake of
the proffered wine is regarded as an in
suit to the young wife and her family.
She is, therefore. reserved toward
strangers, and only kisses those whom
she thinks likely to taste of her wine.
The kissing is carried on everywhere
IN the street, in the taverns. and in pri-
vate houses. The origin of this custom
is yelled In obscurity. Some say that
1t dates back 10 the time when the
Turks made frequent raids into Tran
sylvania and carried away all the young
women they could lay their hands on.
Such of them as contrived to escape
from captivity happening to return to
Halmagin at the time of the fair kissed
their friends and relatives. and even
strangers who congratulated them on
their wonderful deliverance.-Ru

visited upon the fair, in fact no such
other dangerous building exists but
outside means of descent are quite as
necessary on worlds fair buildings as
on any Others in which human beings
are carried to great heights.
Dividing the public interest with
the foregoing calamity is the late
arrival of the Columbus feet and the
Viking ship. A few days ago the Santa
Maria. the Nina and the Pima cast
anchor in the basin before the White
city. and follow ing quickly in their
wake came the Gokstab-find with her
crew of hardy Norsemen. Such naval
pomp and ceremony as was witnessed
upon their reception was never before
seen in Chicago. and possibly never be-
fore in the new world. The bosom Of
old Lake Michigan has been reaving
considerably of late, and it might well
heave with pride at such gorgeous dis
plays as have been made upon il since
the great fair was opened.
From the time of their landing at
New York these strange vessels, which
have been produced in the likenesses
of the historic craft of Erickson and
Columbus. have been accorded the
warmest receptions and have been
feted and honored, and now that they
have found safe harhor after their
perilous voyages in the waters of
jackson park they viii be held as
precious mementoes of The great navi-
gators who dared The anger of the
elements to found new civilization

DINA coast. They are of species that
seldom grows 10 be over five or six feet
long They could not eat man il
they tried, but they can make 1t lively
for the fish in sight when they get
hungry.
But whether these sharks are man
eaters or not they look exceedingly
sharky and wicked. They are long and
thin and clipper-liSe, and they fit
about their tanks like evil shadows.
They have curved mouths set away
lack under their inquisitive shouts,
and the mouths have multitudes of
needle-like white teeth. One of these
sharks. the larger one, has a
constant companion that causes a
good deal of comment and guessing
among visitors IL is a slender fish
about eight inches long THAI has at
tached itself, apparently by its teeth,
to the smooth skin of the sharks back.
II sticks closer than a brother or a
leech. Some of the visitors think IL is
a young shark. The guard will tell
you that it is pilot fish, but that
shows that there are some things which
even Columbian guard does not know.
The fish is what the Carolina fishermen
call a sucker fish, remora. If you ask
Prof. Forbes OF the fish commission he
will tell you that it is the ectieneis nau-
crates of lime.
That is pretty imposing name for so
little a fish, but the creature itself is
one of the most interesting of swim
ming things. The remora has set in
the top of its fat head ar oval sucker
plate. whereby il has an easy time. The
remora attaches itself by this sucker
plate TO the first big fish that comes
along and rides around just as lazily as
a fat woman in a roller chair. What
ever the big fish gets to eat the remora
has also its share; it catches the crumbs
and leavings. There is no fish that has
more fun and an easier time than this
remora.
Some of the West Indians make this
parasite work for living though. They
use him for an animated fishhook.
They tie a string to his tail and let him
into the water to swim around until he
falls afoul of a turtle. Then when he
has laid firm hold of the turtle the wise
West Indian bags the whole outfit and
sets his remora for another turtle.

THE WORLDS FAIR CITY.
Notes on Current Events at the
Columbian Exposition.
The Horrible Cold Storage Fire-Arrival
of the CaraveIs and the Viking ship
The Swedish Building and
Its Future Purpose
lspecIal chicago corresponaence !


All Chicago, including guests and
worlds fair visitors. is yet in the throes
of horror produced by the lamentable
fate of the victims of the recent fire at
the cold storage building at jackson
park, and subscriptions are still pour
ing in for the benefit of the families
and dependents of the poor souls who
met with such an awful death. The
exact number Of lives lost in the flames
has not as yet been ascertained, but
according to the latest information
twenty-three charred and dismembered
bodies were found in the ruins of the
Inflated building. The unfortuuates
were nearly all iremen. and the sad
fate of their comrades has caused the
deepest sorrow among the members OF
the departing mt throughout the city.
Most of the bodies taken from the
ruins were so thoroughly incinerated
and disfigured that they were beyond
recognition. aud the mourning rela-
tives and friends of those who were
known to have been lost in the flames
were more deeply plunged in grief by
their inability to identify their dead,
and the sad search among the black
ened and broken corpses for even the
faintest traces of husbands, fathers
and brothers was pitiful in the ex-
IRENE.
The building burned was not the
property of the fair, as was quite gem
orally supposed, but belonged to the
Hercules Iron company of Aurora, ILL.,
The loss occasioned by the fire was
nearly quarter of a million dollars,
and has caused the company to make
an assignment. The building was put
mp for the purpose of preserving per-
ishable supplies for the fair during the
summer season, and was well stored
with provisions for hungry and thirsty
visitors. II also contained an ice-man-
ufacturing plant capable of freezing
one hundred and twenty tons of ice per
day, and an ice skating rink one hun
dred and eighty feet long by eighty
feet wide. Can ice-so called from the
system employed in making twas to
be the principal production. Condensed
steam, thoroughly filtered, was to be
used exclusively, making the ice posi-
lively pure. The plant was to supply
only ten tons daily by series of sub
merged pipes filed with pure water. For
the safe keeping of eggs, butter and
meat used in the restaurants sixty
thousand cubic feet of space were used.
This was divided into a great many
sections, with ingenious ventilating de-
vices which were automatic and kept
the rooms each at the desired tempera-
ture. All the processes of overcoming
the natural heat of summer were
to be shown. including the direct ex-
