America at Antwerp's Great Exposition.

Right on the heels of the colossal
Columbian Exposition there comes an
other Worlds Fair, the Antwerp In
ternational Exhibition of 1894, 'under
the high patronage of Leopold H., the
King of the Belgians." 1t will be in
augurated May 5, with the fanfare and
trsppings of royalty.
When the visitor to the exposition
on the banks of the 'lazy Scheldt"
passes into the grand entrance on the
Place Publique next summer one Of
the most striking pictures to greet his
eve will be the facade of the American
building. It will be one Of the most
beautiful and pretentious pieces of
architecture on the grounds. Facing
the grand entrance from an advanta-
geous position on the right, its prom
inence will rival that of the Sale des
Fetes and will be excelled only by the
Galleries de lIndustrie, or main build
ing. 1t is regarded as the most prom
inent site ever accorded a foreign
country at an exposition.
The building will be modern Rem
aissance in style, 240x150 feet. 1t
will be constructed OF steel, iron and
glass, after the fashion of the exhibit
buildings at the Columbian Exposi-
ton, and interiorly it will be arranged
to serve as an exhibition hall. There
will be clubhouse features to the
building, but the main feature will be
it's arrangement for the display OF
American manufactures that may find
a market abroad. Around the main
hall will be rooms reserved for post
and telegraph Offices, telephone, in
formation bureau, money exchange,
writing rooms and newspaper file
rooms for American newspapers. In
addition there will also be barber
shop, smoking-room, ambulance and
drugs, check room and toilet rooms.
These rooms will open from the ex-
hibition hall, whose main entrance on

The Ocean as q Seed SOwers

The carrying of seeds by ocean cur
rents is one of natures most interest.
ing methods of distributing plants
through the world. Darwin, who de-
voted much attention to investigating
the matter, proved that many kinds
of seeds will bear immersion in water
for 100 days or even more and still re-
tain their vitality, so that when thrown
ashore they are ready to sprout. Not
few species, which will sink when
green, float if they have Glanced to
dry before falling into the stream
which carries them to the ocean.
For the very purpose of accomplish
ing this distribution by water, nature
has made the husks of many seeds
practically waterproof. Among the
familiar objects picked up on the
ocean beach are sorcalled seabeans.
It is popularly supposed that the
plants which bear these beans grow in
the water. The beans are found in
enormous quantities on the Florida
shore and in diminishing numbers
northward along the Atlantic coast.
They are the seeds of several varieties
of pod-bearing vines-climbing plants,
plentiful along the shores of the Ca
ribbean Sea. Each pod, resembling
an exaggerated pea-pod, contains q
number of seeds. The latter, falling
when ripe into the water, are carried
by the gulf stream around the south
end of Florida and mp the Atlantic
coast. There are three important
varieties, one reddish and fiat, another
more round and gray. and the third
much bigger and OF q mahogany color.

'Sweet Sixteen"

Hoods calendar, always welcome guest,
has made its appearance for 1884, and 1e
more beautiful than ever. The headis that OF
lovely girl Just ''sweet SIXTEEN" in delicate
and natural colors. Besides being thing oil
beauty, it is especially valuable for the gen.
eral information presented.
The figures are plainly printed IN pleasing
and harmonious colors, and the effect IS most
satisfactory. The calendars can be obtained
of any druggist, or by sending Six cents 10
stamps for one and ten cents for two to c. l.
Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass. Over eight mil
lions of them were printed to supply the
immense demand.
These calendars are issued by the pro-
prietors OF Hoods SaIsaparilla, the we'll
known medicine which has gained such
renown by its wonderful cures in cases
where the blood was poisoned or impure.
The great laboratory in which it Is made
has capacity for fifty thousand bot
ties day, and is the largest building in the
world devoted to the manufacture OF a
medicine The sales OF Hoods Sarsaparilla
in all sections Of the country are enormous
The proprietors have never claimed that it
would cure every ailment. but they show by
thousands of testimonials that Hoods
Sarsaparilla purities and vitalizes the blood,
builds up the system and cures those dis
eases caused by impure blood and debility,
such as scrofula, salt rheum. catarrh,
rheumatism, etc. 1t is great preventive
/ of the grip. and it restores the wasted vital
forces after siege Of that dreaded malady,
iortifying the system against future attacks.
The fact that great care is exercised in the
preparation of this medicine and that moth
ing has ever been claimed for II except as
warranted by previous cures has much to DO
with the confidence felt by the public in its
curative powers. The motto OF the pro-
prietors is, "It is not what We say, but what
Hoods Sarsaparilla does, that tells the
story" and it is what Hoods Sarsaparilla
has done, as shown by the published state
ments OF persons whom it hos cured. that
has placed it at the head in the field OF lnedi.
cine in the present day.

A Fire Test.

At Berlin recently an abandoned
warehouse was fitted out with tire-re-

building was fired. The Siemans fire.

test. 1t resisted a temperature OF
1900 G. for half an hour or so, bear

Creatures Bereft of Pain.

Facts seem to show that by the lower
forms of animal life very little pain, as
we understand the word, can be felt at
all. Lobsters, for instance, will vol
UNFAIRLY deprive themselves of their
great claws if suddenly alarmed by
some sound as that caused by the firing

in moment or two to the bait, with
its appetite unimpaired. ed.-New York

AMERICAN BUILDING AT THE ANTWERP EXPOSITION.

the south will be through a grand
vestibule 10 feet wide, approached by
a broad marble stairway.
There will be separate entrance on
the east side of the building, the en-
tire space of which will be divided into
rooms for the press and commercial
room where catalogues and literature
of exhibitors will be distributed. The
commercial room will serve IS an ex-
changefor the transaction of. business
by exhibitors.
The main exposition court is open
to the dome, but surrounded by a
gallery. In addition to broad stair
ways which lead up to the gallery
there will be two American elevators,
which in themselves will be novelties
there. Opening on to the gallery will
be exhibited rooms of the various
States, the largest ofthese, which will
be forty by eighty-two feet, will be
devoted to the United States Govern
ment. There will be eighteen rooms
on the second floor.
In the center of the main hall will
be an illuminated electric fountain
and soda water fountain, which is
peculiarly an American institution in
its modernized proportions.
The building is rectangular in de-
sign, while the space allotted to the
United States is irregular in shape,
caused by the Rue de Retranchement,
which runs obliquely through the ex-
position grounds. There is thus left
q pentangular piece of ground on the
west, adjoining the electricity build.
ing. On this will be erected model
fire station, where the system which
has made the fire service of the United
States unrivalled throughout the
world will be demonstrated. The sta
ton will have all of the latest devices
for fire fighting. An ambulance wagon
will also be placed in this annex.
In the rear of the American build
ing there will be a complete modern
shoe factory in operation. This will
be sn important exhibit, as this coun.
try is recognized to be far in advance
of the rest of the world in the manu-.
facture of shoes, as was conclusively
shown by the Chicago Fair, if that ex'
hibition were needed to demonstrate
the fact.
The American building and it's an
mex will contain 26, 500 square feet oi
space. In addition to this $4,000
square feet has been allotted to the
American section in the industry OF
main building; 10000 square feet in
the electricity building and 10000
square feet in the machinery building,
thus making grand total of 146, 500
square feet of space at the Antwerp
Exposition to be occupied by Amer
ican products. York Herald.

Transporting Fuel to Montana Mines.

Over in the Elkhorn country. a novel
method of wood carrying from the
mountain sides to the railroad is in
vogue. Wood slides have been dis
carded, also the more difficult wagon
hauling, the pack mule being the sub
stitute for both. Eighteen of these
burden bearers are employed carrying
fuel down the steep declivities. Sad
dies crossed by double half-circled iron
loops or hooks and girted by broad
leather belts, form the pack fixtures in
use. Each mule carries one-quarter
cord of four-foot wood to the load, the
string of eighteen animals transporting
four and one-half cords at every trip.
This method OF moving the fuel is said
to be the best yet experimental with.
