FIRST IN THE WORLD.
EEg-Shaped Church to be Erected in
Buffalo.

bundlO.
Plans for church structure to be erect
ed at the northeast corner OF East Utica
street and Wohlers avenue were fled yes
terday with the bureau Of buildings. and
IT accepted Buffalo will have the first
gg-shaped building in the world, says the
Commercial. The design is so curious
and the plan SO original that th,.
building is destined to arouse wide
spread interest, although from the cost of
the building and its small ground space
the little church would otherwise attract
almost no notice. 1t will be occupied by
Lutheran congregation.
The plans call for 5000 wooden struc-
ture GO feet long and 35 feet wide at its
largest point. At the larger end tower
will be built, which will form the en-
strance to the building. The interior viii
be SO divided that the main auditorium
will include one-half of the esg-shaped
building, with the pulpit at the small end.
Ihes rest Of the building will be used for
Sunday schoolrooms and ciassrooms. The
two portions Of the building will be sepa-
rated by rolling partition, which can be
roiieu upward out Of sig ght, throwing the
entire structure into one large room Over
the Sunday school room gallery will be
bulit. When the partition is rolled uI,
500 persons can he accommodated in this
space, which will be called the chanel.
The National Acoustic association nre-
pared the plans, Of which E. Henri Kelly
is the architect. The new building wifi
be begun about September /.
The author of the design claims for II
great many advantages and has uat-
cnted his invention.

Revival of the Cronuet.

All lovers of croauet will turn their
eyes today toward Wimbledon, England,
where the competitions for the associa-
ton gold medals will be held. No further
evidence of the revived popularity of this
old game is needed than the number of
tournaments arranged for this season.
They have already been held on the clas-
sic heath Of Ascot, aud the Scottish
championship was competed for at Edin-
burgh, where the grounds are said to be
game in the North is due largely to the
enthusiasm and energy Of Mrs. Macfie.
who was the champion last year. The
contest for the gold medals is always an
animated one, for the gold medal is real
ly the blue ribbon of the croquet world.
Two of these medals are given annual-
ly: one is open to all silver medallists; the
other to women only who hold silver med
ais. The tournament arrangements for
this season have one noticeable and ap-
proved change, namely, the abolition of
time games. which caused so many heart
burnings and disappointments in the past.

When the Tots Travel.

especially in hot, dusty wea ther, it will
be found great comfort to have with you
q bottle of soft soapy water to which has
been added some good cologne. To keep

been used. It is most 500 othing to a nery-
.ons child TO have its dry lips and heated

convenience, and at the same time de-

day in q crowded car she answered tlit,

by passing her the bottle md several of

fragrance Of the cologne other eyes were
turned their way, and eventually she said
that the other mot Tiers should take and

An Important Result of the War.

The London Statist predicts great
wave of#prosperity for this country. based
upon the employment of large amounts
of American capital in Cuba. Porto Rico
and the Philippines, and Wall street is en-
couraged, but it forgets that if capital
seeks advantageous opportunities abroad
all this money will be taken from our
financial centers. If it finds better out
let elsewhere the tendency will be to sell
our securities and put the money in more
profitable investments. How will this
help Wall street? The most important
result of the war. as far as the main
tenance of prices on Wall street is con
cerncd, is the establishment of our finances
on a sounder basis, because of the fact
that the new revenue law puts an end to
the dread of n deficit. The revenue law
and the tariff law ceniointly will bring in
more money than is required to pay the
expenses of the government, and there is
no reason why we should not proceed at
once to wipe out our public debt with the
surplus. in Leslie's Weekly.

Ancient Names of Cuba

The ultimate survival of the original
lndlan name Is Of somewhat rare occur
renee in the history of Spanish conquest.
when Columbus first saw Cuba. about
sixteen days after his difficulties had beer,
laid at rest by the sight Of Quanahaui. he
the shore of Asia. Further to ineratiate
himself and his designs with Queen Isa-
bella, he named the place Juana. in honor
OF her son, Prince Juan When. a few
years later, the prince died, Columbus
promptly transferred the honor of the
name to Ferdinand. the bereayed father.
and for time Cuba was known as Fer
nandina.
This act of fattery could not have had
the desired effect, for the island was next
put under the patronage Of the greatest
of Spanish saints by being called SAINT
Iago.
Ihe next name suggests probable t,erils
of the deep from which colonists escaped
by plous recognition of the ever watchful
care with which the Virgin protects mari
ners. They named the haven of refuge
Ava MARIA. Other colonists, noting the
irregular. Jagged coast lines, called their
home La Lengua de Pajaro (sparrow' $
tongue). Finally the use of the old In
dian name became established, and today.
we speak of the island as it has been
spoken of by generations that passed
away in happy ignorance of the oppres-
sions that were to crush their race to the
ground and blot it from the face of the
earth. The original Havana was on the
southern shore of Cuba-San CristobaI
de la Habana. SO called in honor of the
disccveref. Bafaeoa first enjoyed the
honor of being the capital. then Santiago
de Cuba became the chief city. but about
the year 1919 the name Havana and the

the city on the northern coast. where they
still remain. 3
