A UNIQUE EXPOSITION.
New York 60 he the Scene of q Caiifor-
nian Enterprise.

There Is to DO held in the near future In
New York an exposition that will be as
characteristic rs IL will DO unique. The
exhibition, which Is the enterprise OF the
most prominent merchants of San Fran.
cisco and other sections Of California, Is
intended to be an industrial, commercial
and generally characteristic exposition OF
tho state of California, and accordingly
bears tho namc of California state exposi-
ton. The exposition will DO held in Ma
ison Square Garden.
The exposition will include specimens
of CALIFORNIA; best known products, as
well as a characteristic display and fea.
tures such IA models of the 1S49 mining
camp, an electric gold mine, a quioksil-
yer mine, u hydraulic mine, sawmills, u
lumber camp, sections Of mammoth trees
and an 1919 log cabin. Besides these there
Is to bo "a wine cascade of new California
olaret falling over orsytal rocks at u height
of 35 feet, with q width of 20 feet. This
wide cascade, which will form one of tho
most prominent features, will DO placed
In tho rear of tho Garden, lighted by cleo.
trio lights, both above and behind the fall
in such a manner that IL will DO visible
from the entrance of the Garden on Mad.
ison avenue. Near this Irvine fall' at ono
side will BIO placed the huge display
Wheel of tho San Francisco board Of
trade, constructed like the Ferris wheel Of
the Worlds fair, bearing 10 cars Of glass,
each Of which is TO be filled with a differ
emit characteristic product Of California,
from peculiar mineral formations down to
fruits, grapes and flowers.
The general fruit and flower display, 1t
Is needless to say, will DO the principal and
probably tho most attractive feature of the
entire exposition.
To vary tho possible monotony of the
exhibition, which is to be open every day
and evening Of the entire month of May,
beginning with Saturday, May 2, special
performances by "a troop OF actors, ap-
pearing in tho role of '~'Vigilantes," and
of a troop of Californian vaqueros, ian
dango dancers and Modoc Indians are to
be given on certain days, together with
musical performances by various Califor-
MAN bands. In addition 70 this there will
be meetings, dinners and reunions of such
typical California associations as that OF
the Forty miners" and others. This is
tho first attempt of any state Of the Union
to hold such an exhibition Of its resources
outside of its own borders.

NEW YORK, Jan. "a. 1T is noticeable
being offered, while few days ago
financial institutions were inclined TO
scrutinize loans very carefully, but more
or less exacting, both la regard to col
~laterals and rates.
The professional element in Wall street
continues to dominate the situation but
there has been moderately good buying
OF stocks for investment accounts. The
impression prevails that just as soon as
the allotments of the new bonds take
place there will come a sharp and well
sustained advance throughout the entire
market. 1t is known that all preparations
hav We been made TO take the bonds with
out taking advantage Of the extension OF
time that the Government was prepared
to give.
Richardson & Clark, local bankers, have
offered, for the accommodation of their
clients who desire bidding for any OF the
new issue Of United States 4 per cent.
bonds. due 1925, to furnish the necessary
gold, which shall not be withdrawn from
the United States Treasury, TO pay for the
subscription.
Redmond, Kerr & Co. OF New York in
tend making a subscription to the bonds,
which close on Feb. 8, and have ar
ranged with Richardson q Clark TO allow
their clients to participate with them, al
lowing the bonds awarded them pro
rata in proportion to the amoun of sub
%scription received, n at the average
cost of the total amount subscribed for.
It is not unlikely that the market will
be higher. All the news IL most favorable
ana the apprehension that the Venezuelan
wal message gave rise to, Is, IL not wholly
sllayed, at least no disturbing factor!
The sentiment abroad is more bullish
than 1t has been in some time past, so
that the feeling, SO far as 1t relates to our
securities, is more confident than it has
been in months. According TO a San
Francisco dispatch Australia has bid
for 100, 900 tons OF wheat.

Missouri, Kansas Il Texas for the same
period records an increase OF s25, 900.

ton a canvass Of the Senate is being made
to learn whether a majority can be Sc
cured for a proposition to issue gold
bonds and retire g~rreenhacks, provided
that for every dollar thus retired q silver

The Bryan Dollar.

The silver dollar under the proposed
free coinage act will be Gs great in
purchasing power as the present dol
lar. We are opposed to dishonest
dollar. Those that charge that the
free coinage dollar will not be worth the
face value are begging the question.
We assert that it will. The ratio pro-
duction between silver and gold is now
in the proportion of 16 to l. The
quantity of silver to be marketed
is sixteen times that of gold.
Restore to silver its function as money
and its coinage value will be in the
sane proportion. The commercial
value OF silver will, by reason of the
increased demand, become the same
as its coinage value, and will bear the
same proportion to the commercial
value of gold as the quantity of silver
produced bears to the quantity OF gold
produced. Bryan and the Democratic
party are not welded to ratio which
would prove impracticable. 1t would
be impolitic now 20 concede the possi-
bility of the ballion value of silver not
rising to its coinage value. But in
case it does NOT, We are assured, and
we feel confident that such safe
guards OF legislation will be enacted as
will insure the parity OF both metals.
OF the ability of the Government to
insure such parity there can be no
doubt. 1t is notorious that the pres
ent silver dollar, which contains only
firty-three cents worth OF silver bull
lion, is equal in purchasing power to
q gold dollar, which contains hun
dred cents worth OF gold bullion, be.
cause of the credit OF the Government.
To the enactment of such legislation,
in case it becomes necessary, as will
insure the continuation of this we
are unalterably committed. New

Chinese Buttons.

Has the button craze been helped
by Lii Hung Chang and tho fashion for
things Chinese? Buttons play an i'm :
portant part in the dress OF Chinese
mandarins. Those of the first and
second class wear button of coral
red, suggested, perhaps, by cock S
comb. since the cock is the bird that
adorns their breast
The third class are gorgeous with a
robe on which peacock is emblazoned,
while from the centre of the red fringe
of silk upon the hat rises sapphire
button. The button of tEs fourth
class is an Opaque. dark purple stone,
and the bird depicted on the robe is
the pelican.
A silver pheasant on the robe and a
clear crystal button on the hat are the
rank of the fifth class. The sixth class
are entitled to wear an embroidered
stork and jade stone button; the
seventh a partridge and an embossed
gold button. In the eighth the part
ridge is reduced to quail and the
gold button became plain, while the
ninth class mandarin has to be content
with common sparrow for his en-
blem, and with silver for his button.

Great Names Die Soon.

1t is curious fact, one which does
not appear to have received the
amount of attention it deserves, that a
large proportion, perhaps the ma
jority, of our greatest men have died
childless, and OF those who had chill
dren large number predeceased their
parents. Few of the great names in
literature, science or art are to-day
borne of direct descendants.
The families of Chaucer, Shake
speare, Spenser, Milton, Cowley, But
Ter, Dryden, Pope, Cowper, Gold
smith, Scott, Bryon and Moore are all
extinct. There is DO direct descend
ant living of Sir Philip Sidney, Sir
Walter Raleigh or Sir Francis Drake,
Cromwell, Hampden, Monk, Marl-
borough, Clarendon, Addison, Swift,
Walpole, Chatham, Pitt, Fox, Burke,
Canning, Disraeli, Bacon, Locke, New
ton, Day, Gibbon, Macaulay, Hogarth,
Joshua Reynolds; all these are

Lost Recipes.

During the last two centuries even
there have been recipes lost. For
example we cannot now make china as
they used to make it. A piece of i'm
itation Grown Derby could instantly
be recognized as such, first, by the
color, which cannot now be repro.
duced, and, secondly, by the glaze
which the old potters used, and OF
which the recipe is entirely lost TO us.
The same applies to Lowestoft, Bow
and Chelsea ware--the glaze cannot
be reproduced. For long time it
was not known how cameo Wedg-
wood was made, and when that was
known the question arose, How was
the Portland vase now in the British
Museum, and the only specimen of
that kind of ware known-made? 1t
was not made on the same principal as
the Wedgwood ware, for although Jo-
siah Wedgwood tried, he could not
reproduce work anything like the or
iginal vase, the canoes on which stand
out as sharply as the moon ina cloud
less sky. Certainly the artist which
produced the Portland vase had a
recipe which is now lost, for not the
slightest idea of how it was made ex-
lists, nor can even reasonable theory
be evolved. New York Post.

Martial Music.

A question which has been agitating
the military critics OF Europe is in
what way music assists the soldier on
the march. All men, it is claimed,
having any appreciation of music feel
prompted to step in time Ito a march
tune.
Music on the march therefore sub.
'titutes new and pleasanter stimulus
TO exertion for the monotonous and
somewhat dreary work of keeping
place in the ranks. 1t is we'll known
that WEAKNESS is, as a rule, more
natter of mind than of body, and that
The muscles of the body do not tire
half SO soon as the nerve centres which
move them.
Music, by bringing fresh nerve
centre into play, will often, it is held,
Danish all sense of wearness, and will
even sometimes afford rest to the
usual nerve centre, so that when the
music ceases the soldier feels fresher
than before it began. Why mems
limbs should tend to move to music no
one knows, but it is practically the
same thing as dancing, and is believed
to have to do with the instinct all men
display, which urges them TO associate
with what is beautiful in nature and
art. New York journal.
