The building is to be 400 square
feet, surrounded with mammoth orna-

ture will be covered with rolled silver,
which will reflect the dazzling glories
Of the rising and setting sun. The silver
to be used in its external covering will

high and $50 feet in circumference.
The root of the lantern will be of
glass. Wide avenues will traverse the
ground floor, ut the intersection of
which elevators will ascend to the roof.
The interior OF the building will be de.
voted to a perfect and practical exem.
plitication of the uses Of silver, from
the mine to it's most intricate and ar.
tjstic adaptation to the beautiful in
art and the indestructible in science.
The contributions of silver will be in
the nature of loan, and when the ex-
position is over the building Will DO

Revolution In the Boot Trade.

'The wooden peg, as far as the cob.
bier is concerned" said Uncle George
Wayman, en- old.time shoe cobbler,
''has about played it's part and will
never be heard Of again. The steel
nail or tack has taken its place, and is
used exclusively by cobblers now, ex-
cept in building heel, where we Gun
run in few wooden pegs before We
put on the last top, which is nailed on
with steel nails. The wooden peg
makes much easier wearing Job, but,
rs nearly all shoes are now factory
made aud the welts put in them are
very thin, they are not strong enough
to hold the pegs SO We can shave off
the ends. If we used the old.style
shaver it would cut the welt to pieces.
Shoes are manufactured so cheap in
the past few years that people find it
cheaper to buy new pair Of shoes
than to have them cohbled to any great
extent. Time was when shoes were
made so that they would wear out
three or four sets Of heels md soles,
but that time has passed. It is rarely
these days that they will stand moro
than one set OF heels and soles. Few,
very few, persons think of having
shoes made to order any more in COM
parison to the large number in former
days. This ready-made shoe business
has been steadily growing for the
past twenty years. As for boots, ex-
cept for a few old.fashioned persons
who will not change, they are seldom
made any more. Many is the hun.
dred pair Of boots Ihave made for the
older residents Of Georgetown and
Washington. But MI OF my custo.
mers OF forty years ngo are long since
dead. Why J. am left over do not
know, but l. was taught and always
believed that God moved in myste.
rious way His wonders to perform.
There was time when l had q mum.
Der Of customers who wore four pair
OF boots in year. got from $40 to
$12 for each pair. I haven't made q
pair OF boots for over two years. -

Jumping Beans.

Mr.. Yeatman Woolf, writing to the
Pail Mall Gazette, says he has had ex-
periments in hand with the co-called
dumping beans" for tho last two
years, and he finds that the apparent
leaps ore an illusion due to the eccen-
trio shape of the beans, and the char
acter Of certain Of the complicated
movements thereby rendered possible.
In support Of his contention he mem
tlons TINT, after carefully removing
the woody fiber OF some beans 60 as to
leave intact the silken bags containing
the live maggots, the beans, despite
the decrease OF weight, although they
still continued to move, did not ap-
pear to Lit themselves at eli from the
sheet OF blarkensl glass upon which
they lay. He claims to have been
able 70 thoroughly clear up tue cause
of the motive power by keeping many
maggots in artificial wax houses with
windows inserted. When the grub
has covered up al aperture with its
silk, it afterward darkens the same
with juices formed out of the excrets,
until it assumes q brownieh color. In
one instance bean was found to con.
tain parasite (ichneumon) tucked up
alongside the cocoon, but dead. From
the tact OF the interior Of the bean
having silk lining similar to all
those containing maggots, and from
the escreta, it is presumed that the
ichneumon parasite had eaten the cat

The Human Brain and Animal Brain.

The number, the extent, and the
significance OF the resemblances and
peculiarlties of the human brain con.
stitute some of the most difficult NOR.
biological problems. Compare the
appearance presented by the human
head cut in two in tho middle and thai
of the head of a chimpanzee which has
been prepared in the same manner.
Then compare the brain OF a child at
birth, as seen from the side, with the
brain OF o young chimpanZee. Upon
comparison of these two aspects of the
divided brains, the resemblanccs are
seen to be very much moro numerous
and significant than the differences.
Indeed, the differences are insight.
cant: the resemb]ances are startling.
Nobody has yet succeeded in defining
what it is that constitutes the human
brain as different from tho brain OF
any other animal. We may recognize
it. Any skilled nnctomist would re :.
cognize the human from the animal
brain; but that IS a very different
thing from formulating the differences,
and that is what VIC aim at. It is one
of the objects for the remainder of my
life to be able to say in words what il
is that dilrerentiatcs our brain from
the brain of other animals.

The First Soup.

The eSilcs who took refuge in Lon
don at the time Of the French rcyo-
luton met the poverty and the hard
ships of their lot with much courage.
They never begged and it was often
difficult to induce them to accept the
funds subscribed for their assistance.
The women did not accept the par
tally worn and soilcd clothing OF
wealthy and chartably inclined la
dies, as most women of their condi-
tion would be glad to do, but man
aged with the cheapest materials to
dress neatly and ta,tcfully.
Their necessities developed an in
vcntiyc spirit. The records of the
London patent office at the beginning
of the eighteenth century have on
every page such names as EloEdcau,
Dupih, Cardoncl, Gastincau, Leblond,
and Courant. How ingenious they
were in utilizing the most unpromis-
ing Of materials is shown by their in
yention OF Il now famous dish.
When The London butchers slaugh.
tered their beef they were accustomed
to throw away the tails with the ref
use. The French women bad the
bright idea Of buying them, since
they could get them for next to moth
ing, and making soup of them. And
thus they gave to England the pop
ular ox-tail soup, which loyal English.
men now consider an essentially na'
tional dish.-Youth's Companion.

The question of postal savings

demand on the department for the
establishment OF this system has been
