They Arc Packed in Substantial and Work
manl,i<c Manner.
Of the various foreign countries whose
shipments of exhibits have passed
through the jackson park custom house
the packing cases from Japan have been
the most substantial and have preserved
their contents in the best shape. Two
or three car loads of these c:lhib-
its now piled in the north end of the
manufacturers building show the gen
cral workmanlille manner of the Japan
csc. Every case Is made of first-class
yellow pine, joined in perfect manner
and strongly bound with iron bands A
model of a pleasure boat three feet
long recently received serves as an eS-
ample OF the precautions of these peo-
pie
The outside case was of yellow pine
planned on both sides. Around this outer
case were broad bands of steel, held in
place by screws. Inside was n tin box
soldcrcd together and held from rolling
about by layers of rice straw. Inside
of the tin case was another wooden
case, finely finished, and inside of this
nestled in cotton batting was the model
of boat. The figurc-head at the Prov
was n gaudy Japanese pheasant, and
the whole craft was: lacqucrcd and
finished as the Japanese know SO well
how to do. This model was released by
the customs officers and was taken to
the Japanese headquarters at Sixty
seventh place.

GLADSTONE AS A READER.

1t Is the Premier's Habit Never to Lose
Minutes Time.
1t is rather discouraging to know that
if ono should read more hours day
than tho average American is able to
spend away from business, he would be
able to read only q few of the works
that arc really worth reading.
Mr.. Gladstone. however, is not to be
discouraged by this knowledge. He
goes upon tho principle that the only
way to get any reading done is to read.
In q volume of conversations, recently
translated, DR.. Dollingcr said: II think
it was in the year 1871 that 1 remember
his (Gladstone's) paying me O. visit at
six o'clock in the evening. We began
talking on political and theological sub
jects, and both became SO engrossed
with the conversation that it was two
In the morning when left the room to
fetch book from my library bearing
on the matter in hand. I returned with
it in few minutes and found Mr..
Gladstone deep in n volume he had
drawn out of his pocket-true to his
principle of never losing time-during
my momentary absence. And this at
the small hours of the morning."

SAVED A DOZEN LIVES.

Presence of Mind and Common dablo
Pluck of a Colorado Mine Owner.
81 have heard of some rare cases of
presence of mind" said q traveller to a
reporter for the St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat, but I saw o case few days ago
that struck me as among the rare ones.
We were coming south on the Santa Fe
from Denver few nights before Christ
mas. At about two o'clock in the morn
ing, somewhere north of Colorado
Springs, we went over an embanllment.
The papers were full of it and l won't
go into details but nobody knows how
q millionaire saved the lives of dozen
people that awful morning. AS soon as
we came to our senses we all tried tC
get out of the sleeping car. When w,
did we found that the forward end was
afro. Just then Bill Yankee & million
aire mine-owner, who has property al
over the state of Colorado, grabbed VI
an armful of blankets, and, jumpinp
across the flames, landed in q dccl
snowdrift. He was barcfooted and clad
only in his undcrclothes, but he didn't
seem to mind that bit He spread out
blanket, piled it full with snow and
threw it over the flames. This he did
time and time again until he had the
blaze completely smothcrcd. Their,
wasn't another man in the car VIII,
would have thought of that but Yam
kec, and tell you it was a pluclly thing
to do. l don't know whether I'd like tx
freeze or roast to death. 1t looked as
though it would have to be one or the
other there for while, but Yankee:
nerve saved u.s."

1t Is left to our four hundredth CEN

The startling announcement is made
that the whole range of the Andes is
slowly sinking into the earth's crest.
AS proof of this La Gazette Geograph-
iquo says that Quito was 8 1896 feet above
tho level of the sea in the year 1745; in
1900 it was only 0,57o; in 1881, 0,5G7,
having sunk 20 feet in the IS years fol-
lowing 1745, and but three feet during
the 81 years which interviewed between
1900 and 1881. In 1868 the city's level
had been reduced to $3.50 feet above
the level of the Pacific ocean. To sum
up the total, we find that Ecuador's
capital has sunk IS feet in 122 years.
Antisana's farm, the highest inhabited
spot on the Andes $4,000 feet higher
than Quito itself, which is tho highest
real city on the globe), is said by the
same authority to be els feet lower than
1t was In 1745.
