THE PARIS EXHIBITION OF 1900.
Everything VIII he Done Upon IL Grand
and Immense Scale.

Everything VIII De Done Upon IA Grand
and Immense Scale.
In the Revue des Dcux Mondes is n
preliminary survey of tho Forthcoming
cosmopolitan exhibition of 1900.
1t will bc held on the Champs de
Mars, great open space on the south
west extremity of Paris, already con
sccratcd by the presence of many SINH
lar fairs.
The French government sent out
their first announcement of the scheme
on July -, 1892, and last summer the
chamber of deputies voted preli1rl-
mary grant for the expenses connected
with "bcst plan competition" The
Chumps Elysccs will be considered part
of the exhibition, and there is even
talk of including the immense square
in front of the Invnlides. Indeed, the
scheme of construction provides for n
broad bridge which will join i'll per
manent fashion the Champs Elysccs to
the quay which runs on the river side
of Napoleon's historic resting place.
Architects, artists and builders were
invited to send in pluns and ideas. Every
kind OF liberty, i'll theory, was allowed
to those who took part in this curious
competition Thus the best scheme did
not necessarily require the retention
of the Eitfel tower or any other of tho
old exhibition buildings, with the
notable exception, however, of the
Trocadcro. Everything will be done
on an immense scale and if the ideas
which at present prevail among
its promoters are carried out tho
exhibition of 1900 will gradually
absorb the whole of Paris, and even
far OFF Vinccnncs will be utilized for all
that concerns athletic sports, intcrna-
tionalmatehes and Olympian games AS
is natural, u great point will be made
of anything relating to the past ccn-
fury, and the exhibition will be in moro
senses than one u centennial exposition.
The army and navy sections will be OF
very great interest
After Il period of four months those
who had entered their names as being
willing and anxious to enter the eXhi-
bition plan competition were told to
send in their schemes. No one compct-
itor fulfilled all the conditions, so
something will be taken from each of
the eighteen best sets of plans and sug-
gcstions sent in. The Seine will play q
prominent role in the csthetic side of the
exhibition, for 1t is proposed to recon
stitute on its left bank portion of the

TO SAVE THE BIRDS.

The Chicago Audubon Society the Only
One OF It's Kind.
The up-to-datc woman may have DO
itical bees in her Sunday bonnet, If
she likes, but the Chicago Audubon So
cicty insists she shall not indulge in
dead birds. This fashionable adorn-
mcnt is c1nphaticaliy declared to he
thoughtlcss cruelty. In word, tho
object Of this comparatively new and
unique organization of men and women
is the protection of birds. To this end
monthly meeting is held, says tho
Times Herald
SO extensive has become the killing
of birds for feminine fashion that the
subject is attracting widespread attcn-
ton among ornithologists. The Chi
cage Audubon society, however, claims
to be the only organization formed for
the condemnation of the use of birds
for millinery purposes
At the regular meeting held the other
afternoon Rev. George Pratt read u pa
per on Amateur ORTHODOXY" fol-
lowed by musical numbers. The au-
dicncc was made up mostly of women
who practice what they preach by not
wearing birds in their bonncts, though
they indulge in ostrich pluInes, on the
plea that this does not ncccssitate the
killing of the bird.
There are eight million birds slaugh-
tered annually i'll the name of fashion, +"
said Mrs. +. Irene Rood, president of
the society. CAS- an organization we
propose TO be instrumental in the pro-
lection of birds and in time introduce
such bills in the legislature. AT present
we are much interested in the bill now
pending, which relates TO the game
laws Of Illinois.
THE Chicago Audubon society is,
believe, the only organization of tho
kind in the United States" she CON
tinucd. There was one in New York
but it has disbanded."
The society numbers forty-four mem
bers and was organized several months
ago.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO.

a Bird's-Eye View of the United states in
1870.
In 1870 The United States covered tho
same tract OF the earth's surface as
now, amounting 10 100000 square
miles, says Scribner's. Hardly more
than fifth of this represented the
United States of l7s9. About third
of the vast domain was settled. the
western frontier running rreCularlv
parallel with the Mississippi, but near
or to that stream than to the Rocky
mountains.
The center of population was forty
eight miles east by north of Cincinnati,
having moved westward forty 1.-TWO miles
since leG0 Except certain Well-pcoplcd
sections on the Pacific slope and little
civilized strips in Utah, Colorado and
New Mexico the great west had but a
tcnuous population. Over immense re-
gions it was still an Indian fastness, re
joicing III a reputation which few could
verify, for rare scenery, fertile valleys,
rich mines and Il wondrols climate.
The American people numbered s.
b5s,37l souls. In the settled parts of
our country the population had den
sity of 3O.3 persons to the square mile,
southern New England being the most
closely pcoplcd. Much of western
Pennsylvania was in the condition of

never before, population increasing nj
remarkable rate and industries dc

had been skinned of the streams OF

| gallons in Pennsylvania alone, more
than ten times as much as decade

The west WAS rapidly recruiting itself
from the cast, the city from the coun-

one in five dwclt in cities.

There were an almighty lot of crows
around the hut we occupied, and one
day brought out my gun and shot into
flock. All escaped my shot except
one, which was lying on the ground
wounded. l went to the place and
picked the wounded bird up and found
that its left leg had been broken by the
Shot. Taking the crow to the hut |
amputatcd the leg, and taking hot
coal from the fire l burned the stump
so that it would not bleed. The bird
was then allowed to go at liberty, but
instead of leaving the vicinity of the
camp it hung around and the boys
would feed it with crumbs from the
table, and it became quite tame. 1t
would come limping into camp just
like veteran after his pension.
cat about meal time the crow could
bc expected at first, but at last it's visits
became more frequent. One of the boys
limited that the bird we were feeding
was not the victim of my gunshot, and
in investigating this theory we found

Up the alley leading to the spot where
the bird had been in the habit of re-

stretched over on the ground dead. We
made an examination, and sure enough
the bird had two legs as good and sound
as any bird flying. When it had como
into our camp it had hitched the other
up under its wing so as to deceive us
and secure food. 1t must have watched
us feeding the wounded bird and saw
an opportunity of securing food by iIni-

these three advertisements reveal is an
utter lack of practical knowledge and
of how to make ones way in the world,

but we are not quite prepared to be-

certain Deacon Il, who was very
bad-tempered old farmer, who used to
beat his oxen Numerically when he
thought they were lazy or in any way
at fault, He reformed late In life and
curbed his temper very much, when it
was observed that his cattle gave him
much less trouble than they formerly
had done. Asked by u friend to ac-
count for this, he replied: why, in

Tho End of q Flying Machine.

A sad accident lately happened to q
flying machine at Sydney, Ms. w. Tho
inventor did not accompany the ma
chine on it's trial trip, and as no one
volunteered the machine was allowed
to go alone. The following account Of
its performance has been sent over:
''llissing and snorting, it slid along
the tram for n distance of one hundred
feet, when, having reached the end of
the rails, instead of lifting its wings
and floating gracefully across the har-
Dor, it bumped against the rocks and
topplcd over on to the beach, part of
it becoming submerged by the waves.
Some of the hot cindcrs from the fur
mace came in contact with the light ma
tcrialS of which il was constructed and
set them on fire and in a few moments
Il portion of the framework and the ma
chipcry were all that remained of this
production of inventive genius The
manager explained THAT the trial was a
failure because there was not sufficient
wind to fill the sails, and no one had
been placed inside to sail it."
