A Connecticut physician says that
artificial hearts can be substituted for
the real ones when the latter are worn
out. He says the heart is a force-pump
to send the blood through the veins and
arteries and bring it back again, and
that an artificial heart can be con-
structed to work automatically with
clock work. He would join the arteries
to the artificial heart. one at Il time.
and then remove the old heart.
His explanation, however, is so mysti-
fed by scientific language that it is

A SPLENDID PAGEANT.
Chicago Day Parade, with Preside
of the United States at Its Heas

Chicago Day Parade, with President
of the United States mt Its Head.
Before the eyes of the president of the
United States, his cabinet and host of
guests of honor, including the premier
of Canada and the vice president of
Mexico; before a cheering multitude
that packed the streets of the line of
march, peopled roofs and filled windows
with faces, the pageant climax of the
fall festival, the Chicago day parade,
took place Monday afternoon. Led by
President Mckinley, who received an
ovation all along the route, the impos-
ing procession wound through the
streets, resembling lanes, between the
gorgeously decorated sky-scrapers, ris-
ing like great, flaming towers, and
through the splendid court of honor.
Both war and peace contributed to the
long, brilliant column that moved in
martial fashion.
Grand Spectacle at Night.
While the pageant of the afternoon
was most brilliant and memorable, it
lessened in no degree popular curiosity
and interest in the grand spectacular
show of the festival, the parade of all
nations, which started at eight o'clock
at night. The Chinese dragon was the
most popular feature. 1t was 800 feet
long, carried by 200 men and emitted
fire, and this section showed lavish
use of money as well as a great deal
of thought and time. Led by platoon
of so police officers, the United States
section came first It's float was Co
lumbia, representing the original 10
states, brilliantly illuminated. The
sections following presented floats
typical of life in the various countries:
Germany, Venezuela, Switzerland, Bra
I'll, The Netherlands, Austro-Hungary,
Scotland, Armenia, Assyria, Belgium
and China.

The Ceremonies.

After prayer by Rev. Dr. Gunsaulus,
and addresses by Secretary Gage and
Postmaster General Smith, the contents
of the box to be placed in the stone were
read. Then President Mckinley stepped
forward and was handed the trowel
filled with mortar. The president cast
the mortar under the stone and Phin-
ney's band played America.
The president then walked back to
his seat and the derrick men let the
stone down in its soft bed, while cheer
upon cheer went up from thousands of
threats.
Secretary Gage then introduced
United States Senator William E. Ma
son, who delivered an address.
At the conclusion of Senator Mason's
address Secretary Gage announced the
formal laying of the corner stone. The
spectators arose at the first turn of the
windlass. As the block descended there
was an impressive silence and DIR. Gun
saulus invoked the Divine blessing on
city, state and nation.
This was the closing event of the pro-
gramme and the crowd was dismissed
by Mr.. Gage. The procession of ma
tional dignitaries from home and
abroad left the grand stand and under
escort of city detectives walked west on
Jackson boulevard TO the Union League
club.
