Reading and InteiligeaGe.

Books cannot take the placs of expe-
rience, even with those who can read
as they should-that is, who can rely
on themselves to "disembowel" a book
accurately-a number which, even
among reading men, is smaller than
the world suspects. Masses of accurate
knowledge existed in the world before
books began-witness the older tri-
umphs of architecture and hydraulics
and much of it was handed from gen.
GRAFTON to generation. as the secrets of
farming and cattle breeding are now,
without any writing at all Even
knowledge, therefore, does NOT belong
to the men of books, who in ALI depart
ments rather preserve than create it,
while efficiency seems almost to belong
to those who study little. There are
exceptions, OF course, like Mr.. Gladstone,
who reads everything-though all his
reading does not teach him history
but sway over mankind has not be.

A Biblical Phrase.

In many of the grandest of Scriptural
phr ases there is not a little suggestion
of the simpl icity of childhood, and on
the other hand it not infrequently hap
pens that some childish speech reminds
one of the utterances of the prophets
of old.
An instance of this was given not
long ago by a lad of FIVE or six sum-
mers. He had probably never heard
the Biblical sentence wherein it is said
of Jehovah that He bowed the heav-
ems and came down." but it was in
much the same spirit that he asked his
father:
Papa, why doesn't the sky bend
down when God stands up?"
The chief difference was that between
conscious and unconscious imagery

twelve of his countrymen equal in
physique and daring to himself. In
this ship, which was open to the ele-
ments and rugged in the most primitive
fashion, these hardy mariners crossed
the raging main and after many hard
ships came safely to land, completing
one of the most notable voyages ever
made to this country. Here these
worthy descendants of the ancient
"creek-men" find many countrymen
to welcome them and join with them
in the general rejoicing over their safe
arrival
When the worlds fair is over the
immense temples dedicated to art, the
sciences and commerce will be despoiled
OF their enhancing beauties, and the
buildings themselves will be sold to
some shrewd contractor, who will care
fully pull them apart board for board
and utilize the pile he accumulates in
constructing other buildings-not so
handsome but more useful. The Swed-
ish building will not suffer this COM
mon fate. Though it will be taken
down it will again be reared in it's
present form. 1t will change its rest
ing place, but will still remain in Chi
cago.
1t has been bought by the Martin
Luther college of Chicago, and when
the grounds and airy bowers of Jack
son park are deserted, and the place
that was the center of the world for six
months is only memory, the building
will be taken apart and removed to a
pretty site in Martin Luther college ad-
dition in the northwestern part of Chi
cago, seven miles from the courthouse
The building is unique one, inasmuch
as it can be taken apart and put to-
gether again as often as is desired with
out injury to the building. 1t was

SHARKS AND SUCKERS.
How tho Big Fish Garry Around tho
Little Fish on Their Backs.


The sharks in the marine section Of
the aquarium play every day and all
the day to big crowds. The sharks do
not seem to enjoy it much. There are
only two of them left now; there were
six at first, but the biggest one, FIVE
footer, and three of the smaller ones
died. Chicago-made salt water does
not seem to agree with them at all.
Some folks who look at these sharks
indulge themselves in the pleasing
fancy that they are looking at real
vicious man-eaters, regular monsters
OF the deep that go around amusing
themselves by swapping legs of sailors.
These fellows are no man-eaters,
though; they are just common sand
sharks caught in pound nets off the Car
olina coast. They are of species that
seldom grows to be over five or six feet
long. They could not eat a man ii
they tried, but they can make it 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-like, and they fit
about their tanks like evil shadows.
They have curved mouths set away
back under their inquisitive snouts,
and the mouths have multitudes of
necdle-like white teeth. Ore of these
sharks, the larger one, has
constant companion that causes a
good deal of comment and guessing
| among visitors. 1t is slender fish
about eight inches long that has at
tached Itself, apparently by its teeth,
to the smooth skin of the sharks back.
1t sticks closer than brother or a
leech. Some of the visitors think it is
young shark The guard will tell
you that it is a 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 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 fish, but the creature itself is
one of the most interesting of swim
ming things. The remora has set in
the top of its fiat head an oval sucker
plate, whereby it 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
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 a living though. They
use him for an animated fishhook.
They tie string to his tail and let him
into the water to swim around until he
falls afoul of 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.

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 sugges-
ton which the fair authorities will
doubtless heed, and that is the urgent
need of fire escapes on the large build
ing throughout the grounds and
especially those which have elevators
for carrying people to the roofs and
higher stories. 1t is hardly probable
that such another catastrophe will be
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 fleet and the
Viking ship A few days ago the Santa
Maria. the Nina and the Pinta cast
anchor in the basin before the White
city, and following 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 heaving
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 harbor after their
perilous voyages in the waters of
Jackson park they will be held as
precious mementoes of the great navi-
gators who dared the anger of the
elements to found new civilization
upon the shores of an unexplored world.
The history of the caravels has been
published broadcast during the last
few months and has become familiar
to all. The history of the modern
Viking ship is Of more recent date and
will prove somewhat more interesting
reading at this time. The ship Gokstab-
find was built about six months ago
after the design of the original ship
which was unearthed some time pre-
vious from a Norwegian mound. 1t
sailed some six or seven weeks ago
from Christiania under the command of
Magnus Anderson, a splendid specimen
of Morse manhood, who had crew of

SOME STRANGE TRIPS.
Odd Methods of Freak Travellers Going ia

Odd Methods of Freak Travellers Going Ia
the Fair ---------
The Columbian year is developing an
unusual number of freak travellers.
Every year the United States has it's
wheelbarrow pusher, who goes from
Maine to California, or says he does on
foot; the traveller who sails from New
York to Liverpool in small boat; the
long-distance horseback rider, and so
on.
This year the list is far longer than
usual already and promises much. The
most notable of the odd methods of
getting to the fair is that of the Chad.
ron riders, but it is not the most unique
of the lot offered up to date The prize
offered in Texas for the milch COW that
gets to the fair first with fifty pounds
OF good butter made on the way will
bring out many contestants. 1t is con-
fidently expected by the promoters of
the enterprise that it will result in the
disposal at the Chicago stock yards of
an immense drove of Texan cows.
Not long ago two Colorado boatmen
arrived in Kansas City, having started

well when last heard from, but the pull
up the Mississippi from the mouth Of
the Missouri is starting the seams of
their souls on these warm July days.
| Bicyclists from California are on their
way to the fair, and a woman from the
far southwest scurried across the state
last month footing it every step of the
way from her home to Chicago. 1t is
reported that girl out in Colorado
now proposes to ride pellmell across
lots through her own state, Kansas,
Missouri and Illinois, in an effort to
beat the record of Cowboy Berry, who
won the Chadron race
Dozens of other novel plans of reach
ing the fair will be presented before
the 1st OF September, but none will
surpass. in its many odd features, the
race of the milch cows from the Lone
Star state.

the natural heat of summer were
to be shown, including the direct ex-
pansion, the brine circulation and the
indirect circulation, where the air is
cooled on the top floor and then dis
tributed by means of fans. 1t required
fifty thousand pounds of ammonia to
operate the system, this product being
used over and over again, and at the
close of the exposition the fifty thou
sand pounds would have been without
loss in bulk.
Great expectations had been based
on the popularity of the skating rink.
1t was in 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 a
band. The Hercules Iron company built
all the labyril tn of pipes and tanks, and
a German firm put in the boilers, said

Bob waited a moment Then he went
on:
''Poor sister can't 20 to school, or
nothing" rocking himself to and fro
in apparent deep grief; IAN there's no
wood got for the winter, an here he
wept aloud, and, seeing this, Minna too
wept aloud.
'Oh! Bob," she cried; "how could
you be $3.50" and she burst again
into tears.
Bob restrained himself from embrac-
ing her, and shook his head dismally.
"Dunno, Minna," he said, in chok-
ing voice; "but there amt no hope for
it now. It's all got to go, farm an all!''
"Never!" Minna said, Historically.

"'Tain't right to ask you," Bob said,
sadly and hypocritically. "You don't

mournfully. cts awful good in YOU

Most of the bodies taken from the
ruins were SO thoroughly incinerated
and disfgured that they were beyond
recognition, and 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-
treme.
The building burned was not the
property of the fair, as was quite gen.
orally supposed, but Belonged to the
Hercules Iron company of Aurora, Ill
The loss occasioned by the fire was
nearly quarter of million dollars,
and has caused the company to make
an assignment. The building was put
up 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. 1t 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 a 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

'Oh you did, did you?" was the dis
couraging comment. "Since it wuz

all you could do.''

OF the early summer evening, he went
thoughtfully across the field toward
her fathers cottage, now softened of
Its daytime angularities, and, to Bob's
imagination, nesting confdingly in the
trees.
'sHouse amt much like Minna." he
reflected, sadly. "Wisht could think
on some way to cotch her."
AS he walked, crushing down the
moist grass, he revolved dozen
schemes in his mind, all of which had
sooner or later to be dismissed as inn
practicable, in view of the uncertain
nature of the damsel in question. II
he could only be sure of how Minna
would take anything. But he never
could be. She was as wayward as the
summer breeze.
Suddenly, in the midst of his ponder
ing, an idea came to him-a Heaven
sent inspiration, SO beautiful, SO clever,
that the cunning little god himself
must have been hiding in a blue-bell
along his path. Bob gave an emphatic
clap to his leg, and the listening Cupid
might have heard short chuckle fol-
lowed by delighted exclamation.
"Gosh! But that'll do itv' as the
wooer sped along the path. Minna
herself met Bob at the door, and
gave him a chair outside, beneath
fragrant honeysuckle. She sat
down near him on the doorstep, and
leaned her head against the easement.
She looked very pretty, her black eyes
darkening the lids, and her face pale In
tne dusky twilight; her hair curling in
moist little ends around her small face
Bob looked at her, and his heart failed
him. But he remembered a certain
Thomas Anderson, whom report said
had fingered beneath the honeysuckle
for the past few nights, and brought
back his oozing courage.
They wuz talking about you last
night down at the pump, he remarked,
with assumed cheerfulness.
''Talkin about me-" said Minna, an
grily. "How dared they?"
/ ''Oh Lord!" gasped Bob to himself;
''if she gets mad before begin"
They wuz sayin'-sayin'-"
"Well?" sharply: "what wuz they
sayin'?"
They wuz sayin' how as you'd never
marry anyone, you wuz that uncertain
like and flighty-lilSe.
'Who said that?" said Minna, turn
ing wrathful eyes upon him.
II don't exactly remember" faltered
Bob.
"Most likely yourselfr' disdainfully.
Bob could not truthfully disown the
remark,as he had made it frequently,
in confidence, to his near companions
inH the village. So, after this unex-
pected home-thrust, he remained un-
comfortably silent.
Minna pursued her advantage.
Nice doings, them, fur a mani" she
went on contemptuously: "Talkin'
about girls when they can't talk back
for themselves"
If the reported conversation had not
been wholly imaginary, Bob would
have been stricken with remorse. AS
it was, however, although inwardly
