ooh! This is horrid y This is

weeks at the Centennial 1876 We
heard many ladies use such express

ladies' say: "Oh, if it was not for tel

would never come to this horrid
place. Another lady said: "Let

about, harnessed up TO a buggy, then
people will know we have been h, re,

messed flea business was simply a
chestnut simply gotten up to make
still bigger fool OF tools " "Did
you see the two heas in harness" was
asked the unsuspeciIng; some would
unwittingly answer; "Oh, yes l saw
them" That was dead give away!
Two harnrssed feas - Many PEG

and say: "Oh it was the sight of my

You ask these simpletons: Tell US
something yoc saw and some point Of

generally comes. "Oh l saw every

EVERYTHING in week; EvERYTHI> C.
When the plain truth is that party is a
bigger fool than before he or she left
home! No mortal could see what that
fool claims to have seen in three
months. We say the Worlds Fair
visitors are mostly BIG FOOLS, and the
most empty headed ard most empty
pocket of all people. The short trip
is simply sham, delusion, hum
bug. Thousands go there and spead
a week and big money, who could

Plenty Of people vis,, iorc,sp coun'

The Danuer Of Hiah Bu Idings.

A lecture recently delivered by Gen.
eral William SOoy Smith before the
students Of the political economy d2'
partments Of the Northwestern Un'yer''
ity at Evanston, H., contains much foo1
for thought on practical lines. Tne
lecturer spoke of the risk in using steel
rs n framework for tall buildings and
the danger of placing them on insecure
foundations. He described the typical
great building now going up in Chicago
as a gaunt skeleton of steel rising aloit'
which is gradually clothed from story to
story with a rigid flesh OF stone AMI
brick. tile aud mortar, and with suca
integument becoming ha6ital elIiice.
The lecturer said that with each
change OF temperature the steel skeleton
oxnonds or contracts and becomes a
creeping, crawling thing, apparently
-
striving to throw of its clothing e'peo'-
ally if exposed to such heat as results
from the burning Of great quantities oil
combustible goods stored in it, or from
the burning OF neigbboring buildings
There is great danger from these IN 'p''e
Of the means usually employed to protect
the metal from heat-namely, the tile
covering put upon it, for this covering
will become so hot as to conduct enough
heat TO the steel to expand it and crack
of the tile. There may be steel build
;nos,n which the ire-proofng wa; so
we'll done that they will pass through
ordinary fire without such failure but Il
tbo stee, becomes even moderately heated
its stiffness will be measureably dImln-
is6ed and the strength Of the upright
members so much reduced as to cause
them TO bend and yield to the unequal
expansion of the horizontal beams Que
70 the same change in temperature. In
sucb case the building will be likely to
come down with crash. The Tribune
building at Minneapolis was utterly de-
.,roved rs result of the expansion
caused by heat.

How Sems Fires Originate.

A list OF unusual aud curiously caused
fires has been compiled and the Railway
Review mentions some OF the number
IL includes factory fire which was
traced to a railway truck, an over-heated
axle having thrown car from the track
and set fire to a petroleum tank from
which the flames spread to the building.
An instance is given in which bucket
greasy waste was ignited by the friction
of belt which sagged against it. In a
harmless case Of spontaneous ignition OF
oily waste, this material, with some
wood chips, had been thrown into the
fire box OF on idle locomotive, shortly
after which the workmen we're surprised
by the blowing of of steam by the
engine. Another fire was due to oily
waste in manner which could not we'll
be foreseen. Only heavy mineral oils
were used, aud a place was provided for
the waste, but cockchater crawIed
from the recentaclc directly to a gas jet,
when the creature was quickly con-
simed, aud the oily cotton ilaments ad-
herring to its body spread the fire. Well

change, the second at the Ship News
Office at the Battery, and the third in
the Western Union main Office. There is
wire to Fire Island, but this connects
with the main Office only. These wires
originally belonged to the Sandy Hook,

Company, an enterprise of the Maritime

Western Union few years ago.
The observatory at Fire Island is
about as tall as that of Sandy Hook. The
latter is nine stories high. 1t is mar

mense stays that run crosswise through
its interior. There are four portfolios on
each story or one on each side. These
portholes are used for the telescopes
with which the vessels are sighted. Out
side the portfolios are fan-shaped lodges
with covers to keep the telescopes from
falling when suddenly abandoned and
also to prevent the rain from falling on
the glass aud obscurlng the vision.
The telegraph company charges 81 for
reporting an incoming veesel. OF late
years an extra fee of twenty-five cents
has been put on by boatmen who wantto
know whether their boats are coming in
from cruise "light" or with a tow.
The chief marine observer receives
monthly salary of $50, and his two as
sistants $75 and 500 respectively.

Why He Didn't Tell Him.

George Butler, Canon of Winchester
Cathedral, was the son of Doctor But.
Ter, the head master Of Harrow. The
boy grew up to be a digniaed and
serious man, power in philanthropy
and the church, but that he had de-

anecdote of his earliest years.

The Fury Of Stalllsns.

Two fighting stations at MuncIe
caused great excitement on the street
for an hour recently. The horses are
owned by Guy Goramus, local horse
dealer, and they were kept in stable in
the west part of the city. The animals
exhibited great hatred toward each
other. The other evening they broke
their halters, kicke one side OF the barn
out aud came together with a crash,
locking their fore feet, aud with their
teeth tearing chunks of flesh from eaca
others necks and shoulders.
In this manner the animals fought
over several of the principal streets, tho
people afraid to interfere. At the close
the iron-gray got a firm hold on the
black horses lett ear and threw kin. He
then attempted to jump on his fallen
foe, and was driven away. Both horses
we're badly injured, aud one will die.
When the battle ended the horses were
a half mile from the stable. -Cleveland
