Elk for scotland.

Colonel William Root of Laramie.
Wyo., recently received an order from
the representative of some wealthy
British sportsmen owning big preserves
in the Scottish highlands for number
of elk, deer and moose, to be shipped
to Scotland for restocking the preserves.
He has in former years secured and
sent over several consignments of big
game to Great Britain and the conti-
nent. The deer he says, stand the
long journey well, but the elk and
moose seem more delicate, have to re-
ceive the greatest care and most care
fully selected food, and after all fire.
quently die on the ocean trip. He will
hunt in the northern part of Wyom-
ing, where elk and moose still abound,
for the animals to fill this order. 1t is
much harder task, as may be
imagined. to secure these animals alive
and in good condition than simply ia
stalk and shoot them.

for long Pacific cruise He made a
record for gallantry in the rebellion
and after the war was on the Brazilian
station From 1879 to 1881 Admiral
Walker was connected with the Bur-
lington road, securing a two years
leave of absence for that purpose. In
1881 he became chief Of the bureau Of
navigation. which place he filed eight
years. Many of the improvements in
the navy are due to his suggestions.
Admiral George Brown was born in In
diana in 1895 and was appointed mid
shipman on the Cumberland frigate in
1894. Feb. Of this year will complete
his fortyseventh year of naval SER
vice. AS lieutenant in command of the
Indianola. Admiral Brown surrendered
his sinking ship to four gunboats near
Upper Palmyra Island Feb. "a, 1868. He
subsequently distinguished himself at
Mobile. Among other offices he filled
before reaching his present grade was
that of commander of a Japanese IRON
clad. This was subsequent to 1867. He
was permitted by the government to
accept the mikado's commission. as the
ship he commanded had been sold by
the United States.

Rear Admiral Thomas o. Selfridge is
miral Of that name. who was on the
retired list when his son received the
grade. The younger Selfridge was
graduated from the Annapolis academy
in 1853, and. as he was at the head OF
the first class ever turned out under
the present organization, was the first
naval officer to receive a diploma in the
service as now constituted. He was
recalled from the coast of Africa in 1860
and made lieutenant commander. His
career through the rebellion was so
brilliant as to dazzle. He escaped
drowning when the Cumberland Was
sunk by leaping through portfolio.
On the Monitor. the Usage, the Vindl-
Gator and Huron he did gallant fight
ing. and after the war, was promoted
thirty numbers by the board OF admir-
ais. Admiral Selfridge has done much
work in coast surveys and had charge
Of the corps which laid out the route
of the canal across the isthmus of Da-
rien. Admiral Selfridge was recently
recalled from the foreign squadron on
the charge Of mixing into French poll
| tics. Rear Admiral Lester A. Boards
| lee was born in 1886 and was appointed
acting midshipman in 1850. He was in
! one or two battles off the Chinese coast
before going into the academy, from
which he was graduated in 1856. He
signalized himself in various ways in
the war and was commissioned as COM
mander after its close. After filling
various commands he was appointed to
the Port Royal station. Admiral
Francis NJ. Ramsey is chief of the bu'
reau of navigation. This is a difficult
position and entails personal unpopu-
iarity during the incumbency. The
detailing for uncongenial service is thf
duty of the chief. Admiral Walkel

trict of Columbia. He made recorC

n. II. Burnham, of the Worlds Fair
Later he was made designer-in-chief
for the exposition, and abundant la
bors were then heaped on his shoulders.
He designed the Art Palace, the Peri
style and the Terminal Station. No
work at the exposition will remain
longer in the memory of the beholders
than these three widely variant mas
terpieces of architecture.
The Art Palace alone remains de-
light to the eyes of thousands each day,
and an ornament to Jackson Park as
the home of the Columbian Museum.
The Art Palace was the purest eXempli-
tication of the beautiful old Greek archi-
lecture among all the structures at
the fair It is of the Ionic style. The
main portion of the building is 500 by
800 feet. 1t is intersected east and
west, north and south, by great nave
ana transept, 100 feet wide and 20 feet
high. At their intersection rises the
tiattcned dome SO characteristic of the
buildings of the Greeks. The dome is

the main building are wings. partaking
OF the general style of architecture and
surmounted by smaller domes.
the main building is entered by four
portals, adorned with sculpture and
approached by broad sfights of steps.
Great Corinthian columns beautify
these entrances. Colonades extend
along either side and add to the classi~
cal beauty. The frieze Of the exterior
walls and the pediments of the entran-
ces were ornamented with sculptures OF
the masters of ancient art. The color
of the building gave the impression OF
white marble. The main walls were OF
brick, unlike those of other buildings
at the fair. They were covered with
white staff The building is lighted
through skylights.

SPLITTING BANK NOTES.
Clumsy Devices for Counterfeitin: Five
Dollar Bills.


Many devices have been resorted to
by counterfeiters to raise genuine bank
notes as we'll as to manufacture bogus
ones, but one of the most novel has
come to light within the last few days
at the United States subtreasurer's Of
flee in this city, says the Philadelphia
ltecord. 1t is not known whether the
plan was ever tried before, nor how
successful it was in this case, as it Is
not known whether anybody was caught
by it. The scheme consisted of splitting
S. and 81 note and then pasting the
back of the 81 note to the front of the
80 note and the front Of the 81 note to
the back of the S. note. The mechan
ical part of the work was excellently
done, but the fraud could be detected
the moment the note was turned over.
An effort had been made to change
the "one" to five" on the "one" side of
the new combined note, but it was done
SO clumsily that the fraud would have
been seen at a glance, and the only
hope of passing the notes as fives would
have been to pass them over with the
IS side up and trust to the man re-
ceiving it not to turn it over before
putting it away. The doctored notes
came to the subtreasury through one of
the banks, with the request that they
be allowed whatever they were worth.
The government always redeems notes
at the face value. and as the faces in
this case were of a 81 and a IS note Sc
