SO soft and fair
Surmounts her face,
While little truant tresses spread
Ger her forehead
With dainty grace.
Her eyes are-nay. cannot tel
Their color we'll
For. when l gaze
Into their depths, love blinds my sight,
Judgment takes flight
In sweet amaze.
'Twere trite to liken to her lips
The ruddy hips
That hedgerows bear.
For with her mouth the fairest rose
On earth that blows
Would i'll compare.
A little dimple dents her cheek.
But, when / seek
To find It's place.
All trace OF 1t has vanished, while
roguish smile
O'ersprcads her face.
Her ears arc like two seashells pink
That on the brink
OF ocean lie
Sweet little ears to whisper to-
When no ones by.
So dear a maid did never live.
What would give
To take her hand.
And bear her Off this very day

A few words OF explanation must here be given
as 10 Axcl Hermelin's position In the Swedish
literary world For some years he was attached
10 the staff OF one Of the Stockholm evening
papers In the capacity OF reviewer and art critic.
While occupying this position he took 80 serious
a view OF his duties and responsibilities. and
wrote so exactly what he really thought az TO
the merits and demerits of new books and pict-
ures that he made many enemies. His Idea was
that the true function OF a reviewer was 10 weed

gian by birth, moreover did not contribute 10
his popularity, for 1t Is a curious circumstance
that lndistngushable as the Norwegians are
from the Swedes to the eyes OF foreigner. they
nevertheless cordially detest one another. And
that not only politically. but also individually
and socially.
one day In taking up the evening copy of an
"csteemed contemporary" Axel Hermelin found
that an author whom he had mishandlcd In MS

The exterior has been designed after
the renaissance, and the facade Of the
central hall recalls the stately old
southern mansions of former days.
The columns forming the colonadc on
the cast and west front are 3iI feet in
diameter 80 feet long, fluted and hav-
ing capitals designed in the Italian
renaissance. All the o~rnamentation
throughout the entire building is in
Italian renaissance, slightly tending
to the Florcntine school.
The capital facade Is ~surmountcd by
a cornice feet high with richly orna-
mented friezc and mouldings. over
the cornicc will be a balustrade ex-
tending around the entire building
with pedestals spaced at intervals sup
porting the tlambeaux.
These ~flambeaux have electric
lights, and as there are thirty-fivc or
forty they will produce "a very bcauti-
full effect at night.
The building designed for forestry
and minerals is to be erected of nat
ural wood, embracing all the foliage
found in the south, while it is proposed
to festoon the entire interior at the
ceiling line with southern moss and
greens. The spaces between the prin-
cipal posts and braces. which are
themselves formed of natural trees,
will be covered with bark. thus form
ing a most unique design. covering an
area of 10000 square feet, while Il roof
promenade, oil garden, of the same
area. is also provided, the entire sides
of which will be formed of palms and
palmcttocs. An enormous fountain
adorns the central portion of the
building. the background of which is
formed of minerals from all sections
of the south.
The Electricity building covers an
area of 10, 500 square feet, and is lo-
Gated on one of the most commanding
sites IN the exposition grounds. The
exterior of this building has been de-
signed wi h particular reference to the
effects watch may be gained by IA use
of numerous electric lights. 1t is also
proposed to illuminate the general
outline of all the buildings by mean.
descent lights. and the effect will be
delightful.
The Transportation building will
cover an area of - 1000 square feet, and
is conveniently located for the in.
stallation of the heavy exhibits pro.
posed for this building.
The Horticultural building will bc

Problem of star Gazing.

Prof, l.. l. barnard of the Lick oh.
s.rvatory, does not think much of the
scheme OF a Chicago man for building
an enormous telescope near San Diego,
Cal, which is to have the largest glass
in the world, made up of numberless
small lenses. He Is working on a
wrong hypothesis he says. "What
he wants is not n great glass of the
lind proposed, but To do what has not
been donc-find a means of quieting
the atmosphere. In other words, his
proposition is an a~bsurdity." Prof.
Barnard says people make a great mis-
take in coming to the Lick observatory
at night To see the stars, for they car
he seen far better in the daytime
People hock there, too, to see the moon
when it is full. THAT Is the very
worst time he said. They car see q
great deal more when 1t is only hal
full, for then the rising sun shines or
it, and all the mountains, valleys and
even the shadows can be distinctly OBJ
served. When the moon is full il
simply looks like a blur, or, at best, Q

ENTRANCE TO NEGRO BUILDING.
Already the big Manufacturers and
Liberal Arts building is shown to be
inadequate for the demands for space
in those departments, and n separate
building for liberal arts is already
being considered. This building would
he the natural home of an educational
exhibit. 1t is proposed to have a
sample Of the work of every pupil in
every school in the south. This would
bring directly before the world the in
tcllcctuul attainmcnts of between four
and five million children. 1t is need
less to say that this will rivet the in
tercst of the people upon the EXPOSE
ton.
The Negro building will be one of
the most interesting on the grounds.
II will afford more than -, 900 square
feet Of space. and vii! provide for II
large centra' assembly hall for negro
congresses, '"ith openings into rooms
for exhibits. An rpitome of the
race in thirty years of freedom will
naturally be interesting, but espec.
tally SO when presented in the form
of n panorama, showing the different
conditions Of the negro from his ma
tive stat, in Africa, with his matched
huts, by successive stages to the most
advanced type OF the race in America.
1t will form at once a picturesque and
instructive exhibit.
