A CHILDREN'S ROOM.
Thoughtful Arrangement at the

Secretary Langley is on the eve of
springing one of his hobbies on the
public at the Smithsonian institution
in the shape of "children's room,"
n beautifully proportioned and dec
GRATED apartment forming the en-
trance to the new south front, now
about completed. His excessive love
of young children has led him to have
this room fitted about the walls with
low glass cases, in which will be
placed specimens of bird and animal

knowledge. Everything will he

The architecture of the south front
is in keeping with the rest of the IA
nous old building, and besides furnish

plain entrance which formerly marred
that side into one of great beauty.
Another improvement just completed
is the lighting of the dark corners
with electricity. In these are often
necessarily placed some of the rarest
birds, and their natural beauty is
greatly enhanced by the new lighting
arrangement.

Germany has been selling a great

WILD RIDE IN A TORNADO.
Miss MilIic Milton, n Texas Girl, Es.
Thrilling Experience, But
Escapes Death.

To be blown more than one fourth
of mile by raging tornado is some
thing remarkable, even though the
victim were torn all to pieces and
killed, but to be blown a quarter Of
a mile surrounded on all sides by
trees, houses, timbers and all the 9TH
er debris that tornado gathers un-
to itself in its wild fight, carried
through the air at 20 miles an hour,
and. despite all this, to escape even
the slightest bruise or scratch, might
be called miraculous.
That was the experiences of Miss
Millie Milton in the tornado that
passed over parts of Denton county,
Tex. When she was picked up by
some neighbors her body was appar-
emily lifeless, her respiration was la
bored and her pulse was slow. Med
ical assistance was procured and re-
storatives were applied, but they
availed nothing.
Three days after her experience she
began to regain her senses, only to
lose them again in delrium which
1t was feared would cause her death.
Now she has recovered consciousness
sufficiently to talk coherently.

KISSED BY A LABOISER.
Cleo de Merode Has n Unique Experi-
enoe While Walking Along One
of the Pnris BouIcvards.

Cleo de Merode. the Parisian'dancer,
was kissed publicly on the boulevard
Capueines BY a ragged laborer named
Gaspardin.
Cleo was walking with a young club
man. Suddenly Gaspardin, who was
coming from the opposite direction,
stopped, exclaiming:
"Ah! Here is my beloved" Then he
seized Cleo's waist and drew her against
him, caressing her face. Cleo's COM
panion began Gaming her assailant, but
Gaspardin promptly knocked him
down.
Before the assembled passers-by knew
what it was all about the dirty, mus
cular fellow had again EMBODIED the
frail dancer and was kissing her lips
repeatedly and franticalIy, despite her
cries and her efforts to avoid him.
Several men pounced upon the enrap-
thred madman and turned him.over to
the police. Before the magistrate the
culprit expressed no repentance. He
said he had fallen in love with Cleo a
year ago when he saw her on the stage.
Ever since ne had worshiped her photo
graph, vowing that IL he ever had the
least chance he would hold that girl
within his arms.
Cleo dc Merode says she will not ap-
pear against her assailant, and that
she sent influential friends to secure
his release

COALING STATION IN MAINE.
Navy Department to Buy Sixty Acres
Opposite Mount Pleasant for
the Purpose.

Initial steps have been taken by the
navy department toward tablshing
coahng stations on the coast of Maine,
opposite Mount Deseret. For some
time the navy officials have been seek
ing an opportunity to buy tract of
land In that vicinity for naval station.
1t was found that such place could be
easily fortified, and board which
looked into the subject year ago
named a number of places which were
deemed available rs coaling stations.
The site now chosen comprises tract
of 60 acres of land. The approach to
the place is seven fathoms deep, ami al
fords the best facilities for caring for
ships as war. A large feet could be
anchored in the vicinity, and the natu-
raj advantages are great, 1t will be an
important strategic point, as well as
convenient base of supplies in time Of
war. Modern constructions in the way
of sheds will be built. and the station
will be fitted out with automatic ma
chinery and other devices for handling
coal and filing fuel bunkers of vessels
of war.

A BIG GREEN PEARL.
It Is Found in Baked Oyster and
Changes Its Color.
Experts Puxxied by the Gem Dis
covered by Lieut.. WbippIe
High Prices Are offered
for II.

Whom Lieut.. Whipple, while at din
ner at the Waldorf-Astoria. New York,
bit on to ptarl of wonderful size
concealed in tho inner echo of baked
oyster he recqknized gem that has
since puzzled 1.-THE lapidaries of the
country.
The pearl has recently betrayed
Irish tendencies which are unaccount-
able. When |st brought to public
view it was of n pale pink hue. This
color was supposed to be the result of
the baking process to which 1t had
been exposed. But since then it has
gradually turned green, until now it
looks not unlike brilliant green pea.
Lieut.. Whipple was about to leave
while at dinner. He told George G.
Boldt, manager Of the Waldorf-Asto-
ria, Of the find. Lieut.. Whipple at once
asserted that the gem was Of great
value. He turned it over to William
Benedict, who carried it to jeweler
in Fifth avenue, ordering that it be
set in plain gold scarfpin. 1t was
recently forwarded to Mrs. Whipple,
who lives at Louisville, KY. Mrs.
Whipple valued the pearl highly, but
as she saw it gradually changing its
color she became superstitions and
feared that it might be exerting a
baneful influence upon herself or upon
her husband.
One Louisville gem fancier, already
the owner of several large sapphires
and diamonds, would like to add the
pearl to his collection. He offered a
generous price for it, but there is lit
tie probability that he will get the
pearl, for the reason that New York
jeweler has written that he will pay
an advance on any offer made by any
one else for the gem.
Mrs. Wmpple, who is still bit SUI
perstitious about the pearl, has not
determined whether to part with It or
not. She has written to her husband
asking for his advice. In the mean
time experts are watching the pearl,
and IL it works out to high price
finish baked pearls will probably be
the fad next season.
