A German scientist with all kinds
of knobs on his head has discovered
that yawning is healthy pastime. It
is wholesome, like oatmeal and
brown bread. Yawning, it is said,
stretches the muscles of the brain,
maybe, or the tendons of the head,
sends the blood to the jaws and sharp
ems the appetite and intellect. 1t is
a cheap remedy, accessible to young
and old, rich and poor, and if it is as
, efficacious as our Teuton says,
health is surely within the reach of
everyone in this country.

Secret service officials are not dis
posed to give the greatest credit to the
information that the men were to at
tempt the life of the president. Such
an attempt by a foreigner is at least un-
usual, and the only thing which could
induce one to make it now is the sue
cess of the Italian who killed King
Humbert. This action may have caused
Italians of a criminal bent to think
over what they might do in this coun-
try. Ever since the assassination of
King Humbert greater precautions
have been taken to protect the presi-

Strongly Resisted.
Contrary to the press reports of Friz
day, Consul Fowler's dispatch shows
that the attack on the city met with
strong resistance. The japanese force
engaged with the advance, according
to the understanding of the officials
here, numbered 10000 men, so that the
loss suffered by them was over one per
cent. Allowance is made for losses in
the forces of the other armies, but it
is presumed that it was in proportion
to that suffered by the japanese.

''To-day is not only day of national

The Future.
Proceeding to discuss the probable
tiles of a cessation of hostilities, the
Morning Post assumes that the United
States are willing to abandon any idea
of further aggressive action, but it
questions the disposition of Germany
and the other powers to agree to such
course.
The other papers comment guard
eddy on the general situation, owing
to the lack of definite news when the
editorials were written. Most of them
advocate stern inquisition regarding
outrages and the punishment of the
leaders, even if they have to be pur-
sued all over China.

Elaborate designs have recently been
completed for the electricity building for
the Pan-American exposition, to. be held
In Buffalo, N. Y, May i to Nov. l, 1901
Displays Of all kinds in the practical and
artistic uses Of electricity, together with
complete exhibits Of electrical machinery
and appliances, are to be conspicuous
features of the great exposition.
The designs contemplate a very hand
some and commodious building. The
structure is to be 800 feet from east to
west, and $50 feet wide, giving an exhi.
bition space of $1,000 square feet
The south facade fronts The Mall and
the north fronts the Midway. The east
end Is toward the massive Electric Tow
err while the west faces the grand canal.
The building is long, low and inviting.
The design of the facades shows artistic
grouping. The openings Of the pergola-
ike Iogsias, placed at frequent Intervals,
present delightful effect, showing more
and more Of the details of the pilasters
and openings as the eye travels to the
END OF the building farthest away from
the observer.
There IS pleasing ending at each
corner or the structure, with q loW-domed
pavilion tower, and the building is in
terrupted at the center by double-tow-
cred entrance. This entrance, wide and
high, is spanned by an ornamental arch
and supported on each side by columns.
Srhe towers, also, have minor entrances
through them,

color scheme follows that OF the ma

THE STADIUM.
The completed Stadium for the exposi-
ton will offer to the lovers OF sports the
most spacious and splendid arena, ever
erected in America. The Athletic carnival
TO be held during the great exposition win
oe--erIe most notable in the history Of
American sport. The cooperation Of
games and contests has been secured. Wis
itors to the Pan-American exposition may
therefore expect to witness the meeting
Of the most famous athletes of the world
in competitor for prizes worthy Of their
best feats of endurance, strength and
skill.
It is said that the great Colosseum at
Rome, built in the first century of the
Christian era, could accommodate 1000
spectators. The Pan-American Stadium
will be 129 feet longer and but ten feet
narrower than the historic amphitheater
Of Rome. The Stadium, however, will
have larger arena, and the seating ca
pacity Is estimated for $4,000 people. The
top row Of seats will be sixty feet above
the ground, and every seat will command
