Worlds Fair Art,

Modjeska visited the Worlds Fair grounds
in Chicago recently, and demonstrated that
for an AmericaniZed foreigner she is about as
patriotic possible, says the st. Louis RepuB-
Tic. After looking around for some time she
noticed the great allegorical figures adjoining
the Agricultural Building, and they deeply
offended her patriotism and originality. Why"
exclaimed Modjeska, g in all the glorious beauty
of America could the artist not find some
thing more typical than Greek mythology
to decorate the Agricultural Department at
least? Now" she continued Z" if they had
ornamented the superb walls with Cinnamon
/ should have seen the bearing of that nation
upon the cabbage industry the celery ques-
tion az the Chinese have charge of the greatest
gardens i'll the West. But Greeks-why Greeks?
We have nothing in common with Greece, her
goddesses bundles of impossible wheat splitting
grain and pomegranates. What splendid
entablature they could have created with some
honest prairie scenes Now. it does not sound
very artistic, but tribe of Seattle Indians pick
ing hops, their annual and characteristic trip
down Puget Sound to the gardens, a cowboy
celebration and roundup aud a hundred other
wild West subjects might have been chosen
which would interest aliens who do not know
about these beauties of the New World and who
have been staring at buxom eorn-fed deitiei all
their circumscribed lives"

Paino, of Boston, Mass, to defend Americas
cup will be 100 feet over all. Her water line
will be not quite So feet. She will have 224
feet beam and draft of 49, feet. The hull
will have a draft of trife less than five
feet. The 49, feet draft gives the boat a
much smaller lateral plane than is generally
considered necessary to prevent sliding off to
leeward when on the wind. To offset this the
fin keel will be hollow and through it the
center board will be dropped to the requisite
depth.

sharper than was intended two weeks ago too

The city was strong fortress, too. Some

There is discomfort among the residents Of
Cuba including both the native Cubans and
the Spanish. The heavy tax placed upon those
engaged III business by the Spanish Govern
ment threatened to create revolution, and
the people were worked up to a high degree of
excitement. Seeing the state of affairs the tax
was quickly repealed, but the discomfort re-
mains and reconciliation seems impossible.
Many Cubans arc at Key West preparing them
selves for military service and spend some
time each day in drilling on tho beach and
learning to shoot accurately A revolution will
begin sometime this month, so it is believed,
but the matter has been kept so quiet that
very little is known. Our Navy Department
has taken the precsution to keep the Atlanta
near at hand. The Kearsarge has been sent to
the island and will cruise around the coast, so
that in case of trouble the United States will
have two vessels ON the scene.

Rome-ancient city of the Cesars-which
at one time boasted a million of inhabitants,
now contains less than 100000 There are
extremes of wealth and poverty as everywhere
else, Italy is noted as a land of beggars, but is
not so bad as formerly On the other hand,
mobiles ride about in all the glitter that wealth
and aristocrscy only can give.
Picturesque costumes are rare. The peasant
dress is rapidly disappearing. only in few
portions of the city does it yet remain. 1t is
pity too, for pretty Italian face under the
quaint head covering is much more interesting
than under the latest Partisan hat Then
those curious little customs which the traveller
enioys so much are missed in modern Rome.
