working on for some time he will be
enabled to dispense with SO much for
eign material as to practically have the
entire building constructed Of glass.
There will be so little other material
used in it's construction as to make it
impossible to discover anything but
glasswork about the building.
The exhibits in the interior will be
entirely of glass. There will be fancy
glasswork of the various ages since
glass was discovered. The most highly
priced glassware of the world will be on
exhibition. The process of glassmaking
will be illustrated and skilled workmen
will be employed to take orders from
visitors for any kind of glass cutting or
blowing specimens desired as souvenirs
of the exhibit
Apart from the interest that such an
exhibit will have from an educational
point of view, the beauty Of the scene
in and out of the building when it is
lighted up at night can be readily i'm
agined. The electric lights will illum-
mate the flashing crystal interior and
the maze of glassware will scintillate
and CLEAN and glow in all the hues of
the rainbow as the rays catch the cut

will certainly see a sight not often en-

A LUMINOUS PALACE.

Will Be the Prettiest Building at the
Paris Exposition.
Written for the Sunday Standard.
Paris, Feb. 3.-The prettiest building
of the exposition of 1900 will be the
luminous palace to be erected near the
EiffeI tower. 1t is intended to make
the palace, inside and out, the finest
thing in glasswork ever seen. The pal
ace was designed by Mons. Ponsin, the
celebrated artist in stained glass 1t is
to be in height 10 feet and in circum-
ference It's feet. The entire structure
will be of crystal and artistic effects
will be produced by combining richly
stained glass with electric lighting.
In front of the building there will be
crystal grotto, giving the approach
to the luminous palace the appearance
of a lake of ice. After passing through
this fairy-like grotto, the visitor will
come to the glass porch which is to be
reached by a broad flight of glass steps.
The art of the designer has been used
to the best effect in the planning of the
entrance The stained glass designs are
all to be beautiful specimens of work.
manship representing various scenes in
the progress of the glass industry, from
the time when glass was first discov-
cred. The various improvements will
be traced, from one era to another, until
the present day The whole broad front
of the building is to be given up to
these stained glass scenes, and the first
thing to catch the visitors eye will be
the educational art work that appears
at the entrance.
The crystal walls Of the palace are to
be partly plain glass and partly stained
glass. Where stained glass can be used
so as to show to advantage at night
time, when the building will be electric
ally illuminated, the beautiful pictures
of this popular ecclesiastical form of
decorative work, stained glass will be
chosen in preference to plain glass.
Care will be taken, however, TO not only
make the building rich in gems OF STAIN
ed glass art, but as a whole primarily
beautiful to the observer VINO sees i;
from short distance.

New Orleans, Feb. 2.-The glories of
Mardi Gras are to shine more respland-

always a magnificent monarch, but he

pansion to regions Oriental will have
prominent place. There will be novel;

shape of expansion floats. Cuban cars
and modern features interspersed with
ancient magnificence. All the old ia
yortes will be there.
Comus will lead the parade, with
gorgeously costumed bodyguard. The
leader will be enthroned on a splendid
car, around which will be floating
winged figures. The car called Title

Ulysses and his followers will be shown,
beseeching Aeolus to still the winds
that they may proceed upon their voy
age.
In the tableau upon another car will
be shown the scene Wherein Gree re-
stores Ulysses companions from swine
into men. The poem recites that Circe-
"In her potent hand
She bore the virtue of the magic wand,
Then fastening to the sites, set wide
the, door,
Urged forth, and drove the bristly herd
before;
Unwieldy, out they rushed with gen.
eral cry,
Enormous beasts, dishonest to the eye.
Now, touched by counter charms, hey
change again.
And stand majestic, recalled to men.
Those hairs, of late that bristled every
part,
Fall off-miraculous effect of art
Till all the forms in full proportion rise,
More young, more large, more graceful
to my eyes"
Three enormous tusked boars will be
seen at the rear of the float, ferociously
rushing from the sites, while Gree,
seated upon her throne, changes them
with a wave Of her magic wand back
into handsome men.
Among the humorous floats will be
one called Captain links of the Horse
Marines" The chief figure on the float
will be that of the doughty commander,
who has been rendered famous by the
poem which tells Of his having fed his
men on pork and BEANS Seated
astride of a horse whose starved s.p-
pearance is in strict keeping with the
story, Captain links will look the peer
of any military officer in the land. The
front of the float will be ornamented
with a decrepit old Indian, true t'ep-
resentative of Poor Lo," whose latter
ed costume and closely held blanket
conceals the deadly tomahawk which
his fathers waved with skill and uner-
ring aim before the white man drove
him to the reservations. Instead now
ever, of being engaged in any warlike
business, the Indian will be addressing
himself to the duties of cooking, large
army pot being suspended from three
stlted series of uprights, under which
a fire is burning briskly. A hut will oc-
cupy the rear of the float. and in front
of It two soldiers, who have been fsd
on pork and beans, stand guard.

up, but enough is known of the TEA

of the parade to be assured things. Al
