exports, and they were 81, 100000 more
than similar exports in August, 1896.
In view OF the fact that American
manufacturers are now busily en-
ployed in making goods with which to
supply the American market. it is quite
possible that there may be a falling off
in our exports of American manufac-
lures. We first need TO retain and sup
ply our home market. If, after doing
that, we can sell our goods profitably
in other markets, then let us secure all
OF such trade that is possible. But our
past experience has been that our sales
of manufactured goods to foreign coun-
tries were not all attended with q
profit. On such a basis we do not want
any foreign business.

Special to the Globe.
LONDON, June 19.-The dome of ST.
PauPs cathedral will be lighted the
night Of June % in a manner which
II is believed will produce an effect I'M
paralleled in beauty. 1t has been de-
cided to place upon the dome lines of
colored incandescent lamps, so that
after darkness has set in he stlu:tare
will seem to the observer like a huge
crown, poised above London rc..dy to
crown it the queen city of the world
This effect, I suppose, is suggested
by the method of lighting l remember
seeing employed on the dome of the
administration building at the Column
bian exposition in 1893 That idea it
self is very beautiful, but the result of
the carrying out of the one relative to
st. Paups will be splendid beyond COM
pare. The precious stones in the real
crown could easily be represented in
the crown of light, by lamps of green,
blue, red and crystal glass, while over
all on the summit of the huge cross it
self, it might and probably will be
arranged to have powerful arc light,
either plain, to sparkle as a white dia-
mond, or colored to initiate a ruby. 1t
will be difficult to find anything more
charming to dominate this whole strik-
ingly beautiful crown of fire.
The mighty ribs Of the great struc-
ture could be picked out with rows of
incandescent lamps, and it IS under
stood that this is exactly what will be
done. Circlets of the same sort of
lamps will be fastened about the stone
and the golden galleries. Small arc
lamps will be set here and there, repre-
senting the historic gems in the crown
of England. The whole, when viewed
from a distance, would appeal to the
millions of eyes to which it would be
visible as the actually Of that golden
link which binds together the myriad
nations and peoples Of the empire,
while their representatives Of every
color and shade thronged the streets
below No more fitting or typical SYM
boil Of rejoicing could be conceived than
that of Transforming the one structure
which dominates the heart Of the en-
pire into a mighty crown. Hundreds
of thousands of lamps would be re-
CURED and the cost of placing them
in position and lighting them up would
run into thousands of pounds.
Another idea is to light up the ex-
terror of the dome with searchlights
placed in convenient positions, the rays
being so directed that none shall pro-
ject into the atmosphere around and
thus spoil the effect This scheme. If
the lights are properly arranged, will
bring the great structure out into brill
liant relief and show it up as if built
Of silver. One peculiar result of this
mode Of illumination, when efficiently
done; is to convey the idea that the
dome is being lighted from within.
Last year, at Rouen, the dome of the
exhibition building there was illumi-
mated in this manner, and the effect
was of the most delightful and fairylke
character. 1t seemed, when seen from
a distance, as if the dome were a great
ball of silver, SO thin and airy that
the radiance Of brilliant light With
in was penetrating the metal and rem
deriug it luminous.

for a life saving crew, the reason for
the princes action is apparent. He has
ever since the day that in >omoany
with his father, the prince :unsort,
he first saw a life saving crew IN &C
ton, evinced the heartiest liking fer
the service.
Very many persons have been inC?in-
ed to doubt the bravery of The Prince
of Wales, but those who best know
him, who have seen him under circum-
stances where, if he had been inclined
to show the white feather, it would
have become visible, are thoroughly
cognizant Of the fact that underneath
the exterior of a fashionable man of
the world there beats a heart full of
courage. This fact was eXemplified at
Worthing, when the lfeboat exhibition
took place. The prince donned the Gil
skins and sou'wester that the life saw
ers wear, and taking the coxwain's
place gave the necessary orders like
q veteran. In the first place the crew
were summoned by the signal gun, and
almost in an instant stood inside the
great boat that is known to mariners
far and wide as the staunchest craft
employed in the saving of life on the
coast of Great Britain. Many persons
have an idea that the crew of life
boat seize their boat, dash with it into
the surf and then jump in and take
their positions. Not so with the Wor-
thing crew. Every man seats himself
in his proper place and holds his car
ready to ship or place in position the
minute opportunity offers.
The crew being in place, the boat and
it's freight are pushed down the oiled
ways on which they rest by willing
hands, and then the boat plunges in
the surf as if indeed she felt the thrill
of life along her keel The CoXwain Of
the lifeboat is the captain of the
crew. This was the position taken by
the prince When the boat took It's
maiden plunge into the surf, the prince
stood as erect as the mast Of the ship
in still water. He held the s-eering
oar in his hand and as the stauncn
craft thrust Eer lose into the waiting
waves he manipulated the oar So .ieft-
ly that she never lost Roadway for an

and if they make the installation per-
feet and use search lights of sufficient
power, the innumerable little rough

Or the Crystal palace, the dome should

sion of the marriage of the Duke and
Duchess of York. At that time the

the cornice and pediment above were
outlined in brilliant lines of gas lets.

1t will be seen, therefore, that ST
PauPs, which will occupy so prominent
place in the doings of that glorious
day in June, will be no less a center
of attraction during the reioicings for
which the advent of night will give the
signal.
A rather novel suggestion has been
made in reference to the illumination
which is so true that it is interesting.
1t is that electricity as an illuminant
for festive occasions is not the equal
OF gas, because it is too steady, too
cold a light. 1t is fire, of course, but

Special to the Globe
LONDON, June 19.-Only those to
whom the honor of personal contact
with her majesty has been accorded
can adequately realize how great in
her goodness. how commanding in her
intellect, and, with all her simplicity
of heart and sweetness of manner. how
immeasurably superior is our beloved
queen. That she herself is the last to
know this, but makes her power the
more complete, for her majesty is the
essence of an unaffected and natural
warmth of feeling which reaches all
hearts, and of which she herself is
the least conscious. Many an eye has
moistened at the queens kind words,
when l am sure her majesty has felt
surprised why those before her were so
much touched. Those who are await
ing an interview for the first time often
speak of their nervousness, and express
a wish that the ordeal (as some are
apt to call iO were over; but it needs

ledge. Once, twice thrice the boat ap-
parently headed for the shore and Then
as if she was as changeable as wo-
mans mind, turned about and made
for the open sea.
1t is almost like play. but very realistic
one. After circling about a little as if in
search of vessel in distress, the prince was
seen to shade hts eyes with his hand Then
he gave a quick order and the boat turned
in new direction readily as the dainty
haf-rater answers the helm when her skipper
Is sailing her. The crew of the lfe-boat puIled
like madmen. Had they been rowing to save
a hundred lives they could have done no
better, The prince encouraged them with
voice and gesture. Thost who were watching
the maneuyers through field glasses saw
the muscles stand out on the rowers' arms
like the rigging of a ship in gale of wind
raster and faster moved the big boat until
apparently the vessel in distress was near
at hand. Then with skill that only sailors
can appreciate. she rounded to beside or
within easy distance of the imaginary craft
to whose succor she had gone With gesture
full of nautical grace, the prince motioned
to the crew, as he was seen to speak to
them Reaching down in the stern sheets
he pulled into view coil of light line, which,
in turn, was attached to coil of rope. Civ
ing it wave about his head, after the fashion
of the American cattle man who is seeking
to throw lasso over refractory beast. he
gave the line skillful throw with tremendous
force.
The old salts who stood on the shore watch
ing and commenting on the performance with
true nautical freedom, gave a cheer at this.
why, bless is art" said an old-timer
who looked as ii ne had done nothing but
double the cape all his life, Il tell We he's
rum 'un Dashed if could done it any
better" Now, according to the sailormans
method of reasoning. there could have been
paid no greater compliment. This was
echoed by those about him, and il was evi-
dent the prince had made another conquest
though not a social one.
After putting his crew through a few more
evolutions the prince headed in for the shore.
AS the bow of the boat entered the surf the
prince and his crew were over the side like
cats, and Selling the craft, pushed her through
the surging waters and brought her high and
dry on the sands. OF course the sailors
who formed that crew will talk of the event
to their dying day. OF course the ancient
mariners who watched all that went on will
discuss it pro and con the remainder of their
natural lives Never before has Worthing
had such morsel of gossip to roll beneath its
tongue.
1t all came about because of the diamond
jubilee. One or two of the princes par
ticuiar friends who knew his ability thought
it would he great treat to royalty and its
guests if the cinematograph could be made
to show something of the sort which has
been described. The prince agreed.

a very few minutes only to dispel their
nervousness, and there are few, If
any, who have ever left the queens
presence without regret that the in
terview could not be prolonged, and
also with a warm desire to be received
again.
The moment her majesty enters the
room those who are awaiting her feel
that, beyond the presence of great
sovereign, a true friend has come to
them-one In whom they can trust !;
one whose kindness of heart and sense
of justice will never fail them, and
further and more intimate knowledge
of the queen and of her life but inten-
SITES and justif1es their first impress
sion.
There is a natural dignity in her man
ner which probably has never been
equalled, and it has nothing of that
chilling influence too often diffused by
those whose dignity is a mere as
sumption, and not, as with our queen,
the outward and visible sign of inward
grace. She has a heart which never
forgets; no matter how long the inter
val may be, she remembers and in
quires after all connected with those
to whom she is speaking.
There is not a servant in her several
households of whom she does not know
something, and in whom she is not, on
occasion, quickly and sincerely inter
eSted.
The sympathy of her majesty in all
accidents, misfortunes and personal
griefs, is too widely known to need
remark here, but 1 may add that the
solicitude of the queen, which is made
public, bears no proportion to the ever
active sympathy she feels and testi-
fies to in private, and which is of daily,
n most hourly, occurrence.
amid affairs of state, family inter
ests, and the numberlesS and incessant
calls uDon her time and attention, the
queen always has kind thought and
a kind word for those who need either
and in all the domestic relations of hei'
Hfe-aS daughter, wife and mother
she has set the most touching as well as
the most exemplary of examples.
By this train Of thought L am brought
to the queen as a mother, and surely
there cannot be a mothers heart
amongst US that will not warm up to-
wards her who has SO truly been a
mother to her people, as she has in
deed been a beloved and honored moth
er to her own children
From the outset our queen recognised
the immense factor for good of our
English family life, and in the carrying
out Of this principle the prince con-
sort and herself devoted themselves to
the personal superintendent of their
children, making of their palace a sim
pie "home'-in many ways far simpler
than those Of numbers of their subjects
and spending in the nursery what
spare moments they could steal from
their royal duties, to play with their
children, sometimes like children them
selves, and to show an interest, as real
as it was helpful, in all the pursuits
and occupations of the young princes
and princesses.

In a second, so it seemed to the spec

surf and out into the open. The disci-
pline aboard lifeboat is as strict as
that of the cutter of a cruiser It is
not the same sort. of course, but in it's
way just as severe. In order to secure
the best results. the entire crew Of
life savers must act in absolute unison.
