To Complete the Historical Frieze Around
 the Capitors Rotunda.
 Washington Special New York Mail and Express: It has been the ambition of every administration to complete the historical frieze around the big TO- tdnda under the great dome of the eap- itol This fresco illustrates the history of the United States from the landing of Columbus. It has been con- pleted, except one panel or space. and as each administration has come and gone, designs have been submitted to fill that space with some event that occurred during that particular admin istration. The latest suggestion was made during Mr Cleveland's last term, when it was proposed to fill the vacant space with the scene of the opening of the Worlds Fair at Chicago. This pie ture was to represent MT. Cleveland touching the electric button and start ing the machinery of the Columbian exposition. Designs were drawn ard submitted, but the project did not quite please the congressional commit tee which has charge of the capitol. Within the last few weeks New York artist has come forward with another design to complete the historical frieze, and this time the subject is the free- dom of Cuba. The artist has treated the subject in an allegorical way. repre- senting President Mckinley as striking the shaekles off the arms of a female, supposed to represent Cuba, Some have proposed that the artist change his design, and. instead, add other fig ures, representa- Porto Rico, Hawaii, and the Philipp s as well as Cuba. No doubt, when .ress meets the de- sign will be SUI to the congress. sional ee,mr'

 The new steam yacht Victoria and Albert, which has been built for the queen at Tenby, will be on completion the handsomest and fastest yacht any British sovereign has possessed. twill rank only second to the emperor of Russia1s wonderful yacht, t!ee Polar Star, which is said to have 1t tsz3sse upon t 1,000,000. Nothing more s75.- ly elaborate than the fitting and t.s9- ration of the Polar Star could easi39 9a imagined. Money has been drilled into her frame in hundredweights. The decorations of the dining saloon, which will seat 150 guests, cost approximately S100,000. Exquisite paintings by some of the most celebrated artists adorn the saloons and cabins and all the woodwork is elaborately carved. There Is a fine library and music-room aboard and beautiful white marble fountain, while some of the ornaments are of the rarest. The Standart, the czar's smaller steam-yacht of 4,300 loAA9Y Ao 1liuCA luOlO 0'S1 than the Polar Star. She costs slight ly oyer S2,600.o00. This is only about half the price of the Polar Star, but the Standart is one of the most sump- tuous yachts afloat. There is accom- modation aboard for a crew of 300, twenty officers and eighty passengers. There are three magnificent suites of apartments devoted to the use of the emperor, empress and dowager ep- press, fine library, billiard-room and music saloon. The dining saloon is paneled in tulipwood; the door handles, finger plates and the lamp fittings are of heavily carved solid sil- yer. There is fine marble bathroom, with heavy silver fittings, and the walls and doors Of the principal cabin are elaborately inlaid with ivory and mother-of-pear1. So many improve ments and additions have been made to her appointments since she was first completed that she is now worth probably half as much again as she originally cost. The German emperor's famous steam yacht, the Hohenzellern, of nearly 1000 tons. was, considering her beauty and purpose, compara- lively inexpensive vessel, costing con- siderably less than $1,000000. She has very beautiful interior and splen- did accommodation for crew and pas sengers alike, and is considered one Of the fastest, smoothest-going yachts efloat-

 Nuts with Ease.
 A few New Guinea eeekatoos, a rare species in this latitude, have been brought to Chicago recently and have created much interest by their odd ap- pearance and actions. They are as large as pheasants and jet black in color. The bird is remarkable for it's immensely strong bill and the clever manner in which it is used. The bill 5 as hard as steel and the upper part has deep notch in it. The favorite food of this cockatoo is the kernel of the canary nut, but there is wonderful ingenuity required to get at it, for the nut is something like brazil nut, but it is ten times as hard. In fact, 1t requires the blow of a heavy hammer to crack it. It is quite smooth and somewhat triangular in shape. The cockatoo might throw the nut down, but it would not break. or it might hold it in it's claws like the parrots usually do with their food, and at tempt to crush it, but the smoothness of the nut would cause it to fly out of the beak Nature appears to have given the possessor Of the wonderful bill some intelligence to direct it's powers, for the coclatoo takes one of the nuts edgewise in it's bill and by carving motion of it's sharp lower beak makes small notch on it. This done, the bird takes hold of the nut with it's claws, and, biting off piece of leaf, retains 1t in the deep notch of the upper part of the bill. Then the nut is seized between the upper and lower parts of the bill and is prevented from slipping by the peculiar texture of the leaf. A sharp nip or two breaks off tiny piece of the shell of the nut. The bird then seizes the nut in it's claws and pokes the long, sharp point of it's bill Into the hole and picks out the kernel bit by bit The eockatoo has a very long tongue, which collects each morsel as it is broken off by the bill This is 8 wonderful process, for it is quite clear that without the leaf nothing could be done, and it proves how certain structures in birds are made to destroy certain parts Of plants Chicago Chronicle.

Asphalt Pavements May Re Made from
 These Substances.
 The notice of making asphalt arti- ticially from herrings and sawdust seems so extraordinary as to suggest burlesque. Nevertheless, this surpris- ing feat has been accomplished by Prof W, c. Day of Swarthmore college near Philadelphia. Specimens of the product are now in possession of the geological survey in Washington. and were shown to a Washington corre- spondent by Prof, Diller, one of the members of the scientific staff of that government bureau. Not long ago a very curious mineral substance. up to that time unknown. was found in Utah, deposited in veins which had once been Assures in the rocks. These Assures had been choked up by bitu- minous matter gushing from the bow els of the earth and in this way the deposits of gilsonite, as it is now called, were formed. It is a singu- larly pure species of asphalt, and is now being mined in a large way, the production of 1t constituting an i'm portant industry. The stuff is used for making varnishes For this purpose E It is especially good. because varnishes made of it will not crack. Conspicu- ous streaks of the gilsonite run like strips of ribbon over hill and dale, so that they can be followed with the eye for miles. Some of this gum asphalt" as it is popularly called, was placed in the hands of Prof. Day for analysis, and he found that it's make up was such as to suggest an animal origin, at least in part It is believed nowadays by scientific men generally that asphalts ordinarily are derived from vegetable natter Such matter, being laid down in vast beds during the coal-forming period. subsequently underwent chemical processes.

THE CHILD,S MIND.
Let HIm Look Into Every Phase of In.
 dustrfaI Life.

duStrial L1fes
 Expand the child's mind by showing from time to time scenes from all sides Of life. Take him today to studios and let him see how pictures are made; next week to silk factories, to learn the poetry of labor, and afterward to brick yard and an iron foundry, not forgetting the claims of great churches and monuments upon an elevating edu- cation. The alienation of city and country is delightful stimulant. When travel is possible we should give the child glimpses of mountains and sights Of the sea. and let him become &C., guainted with mountaineers and fisher men, even as he ought in town to know something of the ways and thoughts of the workmen. so that he may come to feel sympathy with all sorts of people and understand the merit of labor. Experience of this kind Is worth far more than theoriz- fng in school books. It is not particu- farly interesting to child to read that he should be grateful to all the people who supply him with his daily con- forts--to the farmer, the baker. the manufacturer and the builder. But when he sees how grain grows and is converted into flour; how furniture is wrought from blocks of wood and thread woven into cloth, the whole history of the objects about him is re- vealed. The different parts of life be- come connected and he gets a sense of the thread of harmony that runs through it all. And he has a moment of satisfaction, coming through feeling of kinship with the world, which is more useful than gratitude upon general prineip1es.-Florenc Hull Winterburn in the Womana Home Companion.

Told Of a Royal Lad.

A writer in London Telegraph tells the following story about the king of Spain as throwing light on that royal lads life: "One day, during his history lesson, the king asked his professor to tell him how Spain came to lose Chile, Mexico and other Spanish colonies. The story was narrated SC thrillingly and artistically that the roya. boy listened spellbound and con- tinued after it had ended to sit ab- sorbed in meditation At last thought having struck him, he looked up to his professor and inquired: What must do in older to get back these countries for Spain ?. The first and most im- portant thing of all, replied the eau tious and diplomatic pedagogue, is that your majesty should-should- grow up to be man. When you are man m! muttered the lad, disen- ehanted. 'wben I'm a man it is not a history professors advice that shall be asking. I shall have a prime min- tster to tell me then"

FILLING UP SIBERIA.
By This Method Russia Cuts Down Ha
 Great Surplus.

Since the commencement of the Trans-Siberian railway immigration tS Siberia has developed with enormous strides, says the London Leader. Be- tween 1882 and 1885 only 650,000 per- sons entered the country, viz, 5O,90S every year. In 1896 the numbers sud- denly sprung up to 203 .000; in 1898 they reached 205,060. The immtgra- ten is conducted by a committee ot officials, whose members portion out the land through which the Lew rail- way runs. Up to the present moment 15,600 ,000 acres have been occupied, ard this comprises all the available agricultural land But, notwithstand- Ing, the Russian government allows
 thousands of immigrants still to swarm Into Siberia, and to go to ruin in the barren and miserable marsh lands. The reason of the governments apathy is due to the fact that the officials wish thus to get riG of the starving thou sands in European Russia. There is 10 clvilizing influence with these fresh immigrants, The majority are beg ears with scarcely more intelligence than the As,atics already in Siberia The filling up of Siberia by the pres ent-dsy process is nothing less than the useless sasEihce of thousands of Rapless beings.

An English lady was re- gently sentenced to twelve months im- prisonment for ordering a costume that she was not able to pay for, and an English governess was sentenced to six weeks imprisonment for taking a cab without being able to pay the fare. The French are eminently practical people, and see no great difference be- tween running off with an article and getting it without paying for 1t.
