Infancy Of Electricity.

With AL the progress that has been made. san
guiEe men OF science are of opinion that the
world is yet on the threshold of electrical eXper-
iment. and that with the aid of this magical DOW
er of nature results will be produced surprising
what is now deemed impossible. Every patent
that is issued represents a new idea. a new ap-
plicaton of electricity or a new method for its
production. For every patent that is granted
dozen are rejected. and each application is the
result OF numerous experiments. Thousands are
busted in wrestling the innermost secrets of this
power and in finding new ways Of turning them
TO the uses of mankind. The age of steam pro-
pulSl0n. which WAS uShered in 100 years ago. has
been followed by the age of electricity which in
hess than twenty years has already accomplished
marvels. Achievement is so rapid and so CON
tlnuouS in this domain of human effort that i'm
aginatlon can scarcely keep pace with it.-New

At the conclusion Of the exercises,
which lasted far into the night, .
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 hui
mainly. 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 choked to a standst;ll.
AS fast as the trains could load and
leave they Topped off the crowd, but
others quickly took the places of the
departed ones. Thus the exodus con-
tinued until far into the night, and
many of the Fourth of July visitors did
not reach their homes in distant parts
of the city until well on toward morn
ing.
Thus Chicago has seen her Columbian
Fourth of July, and it is safe to say
that those who participated in the cell
ebration thereof will not soon forget
the day. Altogether it was a grand
day and surprisingly free from scci-

A Valuable Relic.

In the last month of her life riary
Queen of Scots amused herself making
bed quilt. Upon background of
red. green and black silk she worked
various designs with silk thread of
bright colors. In several places she at
tempted embroidered portraits of noted
characters of her time. The rescm-
blances, however, are striking. This
quilt was the gift of the queen to a
maid of honor who remained with her
through loss of power aud friends.
The quilt has been carefully treasured
by the descendants of the one to whom
it was given. 1t was brought bv them
to this country. and one of them, Sen.
ator John Bidlake, of South Dakota,
sent it to the fair.

dents. There were few minor mis-.
fortunes, but nothing of very serious
nature occurred at the grounds.
A worlds fair Sunday school building
has just been completed in the environs
of the fair grounds, which is attracting
considerable interest among church
people both here and abroad. 1t is a
beautiful structure, built after the
fashion of the fair buildings, and is q
model of architectural excellence. II
is located just across from the fail
grounds on Stony Island avenue, on
the western side, about midway of the
park. The object of the building is to
provide meeting place for those in
terested in Sunday school work during
the fair. The building will be removed
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1893-07-26

after the close of the exposition. The
lot on which the structure stands is
ninety by one hundred and fifty feet.
The lease for year cost five thousand
five hundred dollars. Arrangements
have been made for different classes.
The lower floor contains an auditorium
proper, called the intermediate depart
ment Three wings reach out from this,
in which are respectively the primary,
junior and senior departm ents.
A series of curtains makes it possible
to throw all four rooms into one. From
each there is good view of the plat
form, which is situated in the rear of
the building. Above is gallery. The
entire seating capacity will be twelve
hundred. A library is in the front,
which may be used as reading room.
1t will be occupied by the American
Bible society. A rare exhibit of Bibles,
including many old manuscripts, will
here be shown.
The building was erected by contri-
button from Sunday school workers
throughout the United States and Can
ada. The whole expense will be TWEEN
| ty thousand dollars, of which eighteen
thousand dollars has been subscribed
for. From time to time Sunday school
conferences will here be held.
Several foreign buildings have just
been dedicated. among them being
those of Cevlon, Venezuela and Costa
Rica. That of Ceylon On the lake
front to the north of Germany's build
ing is one of the most curious structures
at the fair. 1t is constructed of ma
terial brought from Ceylon and in the
doorways, steps and balustrades are
some rare pieces of native carving
Among the exhibits are a great many
odd articles formed of native woods
and grasses, and among the valuables
of the display are some very fine speci-
mems of filigree work in silver and cop
per.
The buildings of Venezuela and Costa
Rica are both marvels of excellence
INTELLECTUALLY and they both contain
many articles of rare interest The
commissioners who have these buildings
in charge are exceedingly affable and
courteous and do their best to make all
visitors thoroughly at home.
A MOST interesting exhibit in the Illi-
nois building is the farm scene on the
northwest wal, showing the fields of
grain, fences, barns, wagons, cattle and
all the accessories of well kept farm in
the Prairie state, all done in grasses,
seeds, grain and corn husSs and stalks.

Of revelry. For several days previous
10 the Fourth the interest in the COM
ing event had been waxing greater and
greater as the expected treat drew near,
and the pent-up enthusiasm of the pa
triouc spirits burst forth and found mo-
mentary relief in the surreptitious dis
charge of something with y bang to it,
and the louder the bang the greater the
relief. The hardy youngster Of the
street made himself exceedingly pro-
miscuous by the din which he created
spart from the presence of the blue
coated preservers of the city's peace,
and he kept 1t up so assiduously day
and night that quietly-disposed people

honor Of American independence, Co

PESSlMlSM AND DISEASE.
Gloomy Views of Life Only Entertained
by Unhealthy Minds.

Gloomy Views of Life Only Entertained
by Unhealthy Minds.
The final question Of all mature pes
simism-Is life worth living?-is in
itself proof of diseased mind. The
healthy mind never asks it. Indeed,
we have not penetrated very deeply
into the spirit of pessimism if we have
not discovered that, in its intense form,
it is invariably accompanied by ILL
health or bodily weakness or abnormal
sensitiveness to physical influences.
Of Leopard we read, in the pages Of
his latest biographer, that "he was
wont to turn night into day He
breakfasted between three and five
o'clock in the afternoon, and dined
about midnight. The mere
names of wind, cold and snow were
enough to pale him. He could not bear
fire, and formerly used TO pass the win
tiers three parts submerged in sack of
feathers reading and writhing thus the
greater part of the day."
OF such unhealthy habits and of the
constant physical misery which ensued,
partly from them and partly from 9th
err causes, the Dialogues" are in no
sense surprising result And Leo
pardi is only one among the great and
decrepit army of pessimists A pitia-
BILE multitude, we see them driven or
dragged or lettering across the arena
of thought in various stages of bodily
suffering or decay; some the sub
missive captives of pain, and others his
defiant conquests; some giving vent to
muttered whispers, others to loud re-
monstrance, but all seeing the world as
colored by their own wealness-Byron

dyspeptic Scnopenhauer with his in
herited susceptibility to pain, and 9th

and imitators distinguished, for the
most part, by the same unfortunate
characteristic of physical deficiency
If these men had been sound of liml

tied. but when night came there was
racket and fireworks enough to satisfy
the wishes of the most hilarious cele-
orator on the grounds. The pyrotech-
