A descendant of the famous poet,
Dante, Count Dante Serego-Alighiero,
the mayor of Venice, died recently at
his villa in Gargagnano, near Verona.
His family descends from the author of
GA Diyina Comedia" on the female
side only. The last male descendant
of Dante, Pietro di Dante, died in the
year 1547. His daughter was married
to a Count Serego of Verona, and he
obtained the right to add his family
name to that of his wife. The family
of Serego- Aligheiri is very numerous
and wealthy and most of its members
live in the province of Venezia.

FAIR AMERICAN GIRLS.
The Center of Attraction Mt the Recent
Festivals at Dresden.

Festivals at Dresden.
Two young Chicago girls had a royal
experience during the recent festivals
at Dresden. The young girls. whose
homes are on the north side, are cous-
ms, and they are living in Dresden
with their mothers studying languages
and music. Both are very beautiful and
are much sought after, not alone in the
English colony in that foreign capital,
but are very popular with the residents
OF the city, says the Chicago Chronicle
Miss Georgiana Haskell, the older of
the two, is tall fair girl, with violet
colored eyes and pink and white com
plexion. She has a wonderfully beau
tiful smile and her face is radiant when
lighted up by it. Her cousin, Shirley
Fuller, is directly her opposite in feat
ures and coloring. She has very dark,
heavy hair and large dark gray eyes,
overshadowed with long dark lashes.
The cousins are very devoted to one
another and make such a beautiful
picture when together that If for no
other reason than that il is not to be
wondered at that they were invited to
preside at a booth at fancy bazaar
given by one of the churches in that
gay capital. The fair was held just
before the holidays and the mothers of
the young girls, after allowing them to
accept the invitation, stroye hard to as
sist in making the sale success. With
their deft American fingers they made
the most elaborate lamp shades; made
them by the dozens and every shade
and color of the rainbow, to the delight
of the good church women who had the
bazaar in charge.
When the fair came off it was the
talk of Dresden. So many beautiful
articles were offered for sale and every
body who belonged to the world of
fashion attended. No booth was more
popular than that presided over by the
young Chicagoans, and they could have
sold hundreds of the beautiful many
colored' shades had they had them.
The evening Of the day before the
bazaar was TO end messenger arrived
from Queen Caroline Of Saxony, who
announced that at noon on the next
day his royal mistress would visit the
fair. The patronesses were delighted
at the honor their sale was to receive,
and all the young people were filled
with happiness at the thought that per-
haps she would deign to buy something
of them. The young Americans, when
relating at home that night the antici-
pated pleasure Of the coming day, were
told they should reply. Eyes, your
majesty" should the queen happen to
address them.
The next morning, bright and early,
everyone was at the festival, trying, IL
possible. to make the place look gayer

If Wizard Tesla says truly there will

something of the genius who is to be

his mother, who constructed looms and
churns for household use while her
husband preached the word. AS boy,
in the Polytechnic school at Gratz, he
first saw a direct current gramme ma
chine and was told that commuter
was vital and necessary feature in all
apparatus. He at once was interested
in electricity, but continued to pursue
his mechanical and mathematical stu
dies until he was ripe for graduation.
Incidentally, he mastered half a dozen
languages and finally secured position
as assistant in the government tele-
graph engineering department at Buda-
Pesth. Soon he left that employment
across the Atlantic. He secured work
in one of Edison's shops and at once
entered on an entirely new stage OF
development. So quick, bright and
original was he that Edison soon be-
came personally interested in him.
News of Tesla's wonderful discoveries
was spread abroad and he leaped into
the foremost rank as an electrician.
Indeed, there are those who contend
that he is greater than Edison's self,
although his discoveries have been in
an altogether different line. His last is
an indication of his trend, and if the
human body is to share in the blessings
that have been showered on man by
modern electrical research the one man
to point the way is Nikola Tesla. What
ever comes from him will command the
attention of scientists
