mated. OF the large expositions since
the Worlds Fair closed which have
taken place or are to take place in
Europe at future date-the Bor-
deaux, the Buda-Pesth, the Berlin. the
Malmo, the Swiss, and now the Stock
holm Exposition-all show in their
artistic and ARCHITECTURAL planning a
certain indescribable influence from
the white dream CITY OF 1898. while
still adhering to each country's in
dividual taste in art. In former
European expositions the rule was to
gather everything under one roof. but
now they seem to recognize the idea
that separate buildings, while increas-
ing the preliminary expenses, add to
the beauty and attractiveness of the ex-
positions and also increase the rev.
enue.
At Stockholm the Industrial and
Manufactures Building will occupy a
space of 800 square feet. The towers
will have height of 100 feet, two of
them being provided with elevators.

OF the societies going over, the most
important will be the American Union
of Swedish Singers, of which Lyran,
of New York, and the Glee Club, of
Brooklyn, are prominent members.
The President is Mr.. Charles X.
Johanssen, editor of the Swedish news
paper in New York, Nordstjernan.
The union will be the official bearers
of congratulatory addresses to King
Oscar from the Swedish Americans
New York Times.

A Rainbow Face.

A strange case in which local doc
tors, as well as scientists from the sur
rounding country, are interested is
that of Clement Smith, coiored, of
BeIvidere, n. j., who drives the pub
lie ice wagon at that place. As the
sky changes the face of the colored
man takes on a different hue, and it is
said that his face is slowly assuming
the hues and colors of the rainbow.
The doctors who have examined the
man say they are puzzled. and the
only explanation they can give for the
strange freak of nature Is that it is
caused by the chemical action OF the
suns rays on the ice which is handled
by Smith daily. Mrs. Smith, the
mother of the young man, tried to
wash the lines from his face, but could
not do so. She is superstitious, as is
her husband, and fears something is
going to happen to her son, but he
goes about his work ss usual, not
minding the attention ne is attracting.

We Eat Too Much Salt.

A writer in one of our medical jour
nails calls attention to the fact that the
excessive use OF salt is most common
dietetic error, and yet one which,
curiously, is seldom referred to by
writer's upon dietetics. The conclu-
sion drawn from observations made
by Boussingault is that the use OF
chloride of sodium, Or common salt,
by human beings is rather matter OF
habit than of necessity. nature having
probably exhibited the same wisdom
in regard to the amount of chloride OF
sodium placed in our food as with
reference to the other salts required
by the system.

THE RACING OSTRICH.
Hitched to Sullky and Able to Cover
the Ground Like the Wind.

Hitched to Sulxy and Able to Cover
the Ground Like the Wind.
This ostrich does not hide his head
in the sand, as his .forebears used to
do on the plains of Timbuctoo.
He is dead game sporting ostrich
from the Rockies. He carries bit in
his mouth and does his running be-
tween the thills of racing sulky.
When he puts his head anywhere, it
is in manger or under the wire in
front of judges stand.
He is the pioneer of ostrich racing,
which, his trainer thinks, is the popu-
lar sport of the future.
The birthplace of this frst-rate
sporting idea is Denver, and the man
with whom it originated contends
that if there were ostr1ches in plenty,
ostrich racing could be made as profit
able an attraction as horse racing and
could be maintained at much smaller
cost.
He has vision of ostrich trainers
and Jockeys travelling over the s'cir-
cult" of the future, with ''strings" of
swift feathered bipeds, grooms and
exercise boys. He hears IN his dreams
the layers of odds crying "Timbuctoo
Bird to on; Alagazan Bird to 8
and out!" He foresees long delays at
the post, feeting "ields" of big os-
triches vanishing past the grand stand
in clouds of dust, and the snap shot
men pressing the button at the fin
ishes, while thousands cheer and the
great birds cackle.

Did you ever hear of a kangaroo

As you'll see from the picture, it's
really a cat. 1t has fur like a cat, it
purs like cat. and it can catch mice

Yesterday four miles north Of the city
the rib of a gigantic maStodon was

In 1872 and 1873 large number OIL

norton of the body. The rib found
was clearly proven to be the SMALLEST

Mr.. Phelps discovered the rib ex-
tending from the ground at the bank
of the river about one mile north of
