WONDERFUL EXHIBITION.
Some sof the Great Features of the First
Greater America Exposition. 81
TIE SUPERB ELECTRICAL DISPLAY
from July I to November Il the City Of
Omaha Will Welcome Visitors to "a
Magnificent Exhibition. 4

Since the institution of the first
primitive fair for the exchange of
wares among ancient tradesmen, it
has been grander and more interesting
than its immediate predecessors. The
Greater America Exposition will be no
exception to this rule. In the variety
and novelty of it's educational and
amusement features it will without
question: surpass theoexposition of 1898.
Its exhibits are not only more numer-
GUS, but more novel and instructive
than were those Of "a year ago. The
amusement concessions, also more nu-
merous, present many novelties and
all are grander in design and proper
tionst than those OF any former exposi-
tion. The illuminations and pyrotech-
nical displays will 'he upon scale of
magnificence heretofore not attempted,
and:a line of special features and days
is contemplated of almost sensational
interest. i
One Of the crowning features of
the exposition is the electrical illumi-
nation. The display Of last year was
conceded to be the most effective ever

Menelik,s PhonoRraph.

Menalik, king Bf, Abyssinia, has a
phonngraph. Hrcame to him with a
message from Queen Victoria, and the
king was as pleased as baby with a
new rattle. He had the queens mes
sage ground out about forty-five times,
listening first with the ear tubes, and
rssceiving il in a blast from the big
brass trumpet. After he had heard
1T over and over again, he relapsed
into Solemn silence for a while, then
!: ordered a royal salute to be fired and
remained standing respectfully during
the booming Of the guns. After: the
king had listened until he was safis-
fed, he sent the phonograph into his
wife's part of the palace SO that sshe
might hear the. wonderful thing 1t
was great day in Abyssinia. ..=

NATION in the description, by Mr..
Hervy Laney, IN the Scientific Arneri-
can, of the way those insects defend
their homes. There is always a SEN
'tinel on watch at the entrance, and
when a stone is thrown at the nest,
the hand that threw 1t has been
marked as ssure as the sun sshines, and
before the aattacking parity can pos
ssibly turn the head he will feel a
stunning blow in the forehead aHd
possibly tdrop to the earth with pain,
for the hornet flies with such velocity
that the human body is not swift

way. I'm making such charge, Mr..
Laney says, the hornet flies with head
and tail together" and the sting is
driven deep. But il the boy gets 'be-
hind a. tree or bush anu throws from
shelter, he is likely to escape, because
the hornet seems to possess little
power Of locating the enemy by Sight.
When; the delivery of stone is fol-
lowed by successful charge Mr..
Laney thinks, it is because the hornet
possesses ''the faculty of marking the
direction Of missile thrown at ,the
nest.''

BANANA CULTURE.
The Largest Bunches Contain Fruit o,

. 7fTs = 81 . .a.ss
The Largest Bunches Contain Fruit o.
a the Most Delicate Flavor.
When planted in new soil the banana
does not require any plowing, but it
does when the lands have been much
used and have, of course, lost their
natural state Of porosity, says the
States Duty. When once the soil is
ready, holes are made one yard in
diameter, two or three yards distant
from one another, and about oneIhalf
a yard deep. In rich lands and new
lands no fertilizer is required, but 9TH
erwise basketful of some kind is use
full; a sprout is then planted, which in
three months time will grow to eight
and ten feet high, and, nine months or
a year after planting, according to the
variety, will yield fruit in the form Of
a bunch, which will count as many
sometimes as 200 bananas. In the first
two years the weeds have to be re-
moved, but afterWard the shade will
prevent their growth. In most places
no water is required, but half a dozen
irrigations, a year will be enough in
the ,driest lands. Once the plantation
is in full growth and producing condi-
ton, it does not require more attention
than the cleaning of the plants of their
dry leaves and the keeping of all the
detritus from the plants well gathered
round the trunk to fertilize it, allowing
N1pnfv nf for tho ,Nc,f to
come out. Sometimes these come in
such profusion that the expert laborer
has to extirpate them and only allow
a certain number to grow up. When
the plantation is in full growth and
production, the collecting of the fruit
is constant, and every week the planta-
ton can be gone through to collect the
ripe punches. AS if nature had provided
it, the largest punches contain fruit Of
the most delicate flavor, with sweet
ness and fine pulp, and they also are
those that keep the best, lasting for
many days, thus giving sufficient time
for transportation. The dry leaves and
trunks of the plants are useful for pa
per manufacture. When the bunch Of
bananas is ripe the tree or stalk, often
ten inches in diameter and twenty feet
high, is cut down with single stroke
of the machete; the stump dies, but
numerous sprouts are ready to take it's
place, and the plantation constantly re-
news itself. Many are in good produc-
ton for half century or more, and
wherever there is suitable transporta-:
ton for so heavy a crop it is very
profitable; The trunks are cut in pieces
and piled round the tree for fertilizing,

In the mater of exhibits the First
Greater America Colonial Exposition:
has been most fortunate. When the
exposition was first talked of some
doubt was expressed as. to the possibil-
ity of securing a sufficient number of
attractive exhibits to fill the immense
| buildings, but that doubt has been OBJ
scured by the necessity Of economizing
space lin order that all who applied
might be accommodated. The United
| States government building contains
especial exhibit. The :untire contents
| Of the famous Libby Prison War Mu-
scum are displayed. It is composed Of
the relies Of the wars of this nation,
| and is of great historical Importance
| and value. In one part of the building
| will be shown an immense collection
Of the relics and trophies of the late
| war with Spain; the campaign in Gu
i ba and Porto Rico. Frola the Philip
pine islands will come four car loads
Of curious and interesting exhibits,
relics Of Dewey's famous victory, tro-
phies of the war in and about Manila,
and interesting objects collected from
| various parts Of the islands. In addi-
tion to all this will be the regular gov
ernment exhibit of life-saving appara-
tus, etc., and in corner of the build
ngsthe fisheries exhibit will be shown.

buildings gives promise of far surpass-

DOG STORIES.
Some CANNES That Had Mania for
Burying Things.

Burying Things.
A mongrel terrier, excessively de-
voted to his mistress, was very jealous
of her love for the kitten. Often when
the latter had been caressed by the
lady the former would go off and
scratch hole in the garden, and then,
fetching the kitten, would bury it
therein. To prevent the kitten fore
ing it's way out, the terrier would post
himself upon the grave, and so, un-
happily for his purpose, would guide
to the speedy rescue of the latter by
its friends. Once he chose a pail of
SCOT for the death tomb. At other
times the dog and the kitten were good
friends and playmates. Another dog,
this time spaniel, resentful of the i'm
portation of a tortoise, which her mas
ter had bought for his children and
given the range Of the lawn, deter
mined to put her rival to death by the
same method. Very shortly after it's
coming, both the dog and the tortoise
could nowhere be found. Presently
the dog returned with her paws cover
ed with earth; not so the tortoise. Sus-
picious of the spaniel, her master coax
ed her to come and look for it, when
she guiltily drew off to the garden and
stopped before a small mound of earth.

vealed the tortoise. He who hides can

but would have lost his character one
day had he been without excuse. The
Skye was running in front of his mis-

surprised them by flying at a poor girl
and and holding her prisoner. When they
came. to her rescue they found her to

Mars Considered as an Astero4d.


The discovery last summer Of are
markable asteroid, since named Eros,
which periodically approaches sthe
earth" nearer than any other heavenly
body except the. moon, has led ia Ger
man astronomer, Herr j. Bauschinger,
to: suggest that Mars herself should
henceforth be regarded as an asteroid,
instead of a major planet. The COM
parative sma1lness of Mars mass .;and
the great eccentricity of its orbit. are
adduced as reasons for considering it
as "a member Of the asteroid family.
II the asteroids once formed "a single
planet, as some have supposed, then
possibly Mars is simply the la-gest"ex-
listing fragment of the ancient planet,
