There has been another heavy fall OF
snow In Montana and North Dakota
which is interfering somewhat with over
land travel At Havre and for several
miles south of the Great Northern line
In Montana and North Dakota the storm
has been very severe. Both the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern were forced
to put snow plows In front of their trains
and managed TO push through without
becoming snowbound.

weather and clear tracks on the Western

I'm a short time the fame of this impressive
preacher and his marvellous doctrines extended
to remote sections of India. His zeal, his com
plete self-renunciation commingled with the in
tellect. gentleness and benignity of his charac-
ter, his godlike wisdom, his resistless eloquence
and his manly bearing together with his per-
sonal beauty, added peculiar force to the doc
trines that he taught, and filled the hearts of all
who beheld him and listened to his matchless
utterances.
Immense crowds followed him in his wander
ings, and delighted to hear the sweet and
soothing words that fell from his magic lips
Thousands upon thousands in every district be-
came his faithful and loving followers What
Raphael and Michael Angelo did for art during
the era of the Renaissance; what SavonaroIa
achieved in his heroic efforts to establish Il
Christian commonwealth; what Martin Luther
secured by sundering the icy fetters of ecclesi-
astical authority, Buddha accomplished for hu-
manity five centuries before the birth of Christ
Where Buddha died has never been definitely
determined, but it is an established fact that
no Oriental student would deny that his body
was cremated and the ashes scattered to the
winds cast into the Gunga's sacred waters
the modern Ganges.
According to the Lalita Vistara. which
abounds in poetic fictions Of the most tran
scendental character in honor of Buddha. it is
winds to all parts of the earth. and will prove
to be the seed of purity, morality and virtue.
"Numerous authorities might be cited to es-
tablish the fact that the bones of Buddba do NOT
exist in Siam or anywhere else and that the
paragraph in question was the conception of
some ingenious impostor without the s,iphtast
foundation in fact"

Glucksmann, No ii East Forty-fi -fifth-st. has
been pronounced by the subject "a remarkably
fine work of art and true likeness
The artist is an Austrian, about forty-ffve
years DID, and pupil of Professor Leopold Carl
Muller, of the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts of
Vienna. He painted portrait of the Archduke
Johann Salvador before that nobleman abdi-
Gated and assumed the name Johann Orth.
Johann disappeared shortly after the painting
was completed, and it is the only portrait of him
in existence. The Prince and Princess SchwarZ-
enberS, Countess Auersperg, Baron Kolisch
Countess Ceschin and the present Khedive OF
Egypt are among the portraits painted by Mr.
Smutny. A painting for which he received a
gold medal from the Emperor of Austria is on
exhibition at the rooms where the Paderewski
portrait now hangs.

THE MOVING SIDEWALK.
A STRIKING FEATURE OF THE FACILr

A STRIKING FEATURE OF THE FACHL-
TIES OFFERED EXPOSITION VISITORS.
Every international exhibition has had ifs
special features. The last Paris show had its
Eiffel Tower. the Columbian Exhibition had the
Ferris wheel and the present Worlds Fair has
a perfected moving sidewalk which will IN
doubtedly be one OF the notable features OF the
show An effort in that direction was made az
Chicago. but was less successful than the Paris
feature. The rolling platform is about two and
a quarter miles long. 1t consists Of floor
raised about thirty feet above the level of the
ground. This narrow platform Is an endless
chain There are ten points along the line o.
the moving platform where one may step on
and ten other points where one may step Of
but the platform keeps right on and makes no
stops for passengers In that respect il re-
sembles the Broadway cable cars in New-York
But the step on or of is only about two
inches. and the rate of speed is much less than
that of the cable cars. The progress is 50 SLOW
and the step and off SO slight that there IS
absolutely no danger connected with boarding
and leaving the platform The stations or
boarding places are distributed along the Champ
de Mars and the Invalides section From the

Mrs. William Playfair the wife of the well
Known physician, is the pOSSeSSOr of a diamond
10 which very special interest is attached
Some years ago DR. Playfair while attending
a patient from the Orange Free State, happened
10 notice in this lady's drawing room a piece
on bright blue stone, from which tiny brilliant
point protruded Seeing that his attention was
attracted by this specimen the patient begged
him To examine it, told him that il was min
eralogical curiosity, that diamonds We're rarely
found under those particular geological condi-
tons. and. finally begged his acceptance of the
stone adding that the gift was only valuahle
as a curiosity. DIR. Playfair willingly accepted
the interesting memento of a very pleasant ac-
qualntance and for some time the piece of blue
clay with its tiny glittering appendage was an
object of deep interest to all his friends One
day 1T occurred TO the doctor to show his bit of
blue clay to Jeweller who considered an
expert in stones. and to suggest that the latter
should break up the lump and see how much
OF the glittering matter lay hidden from view
To this, however. the jeweller was distinctly
aVerse. saying that they could see all there was
or value in ii. and that in breaking up the hmm
OF clay they would spoil very interesting snaci-
men DR. Playfair. however. insisted upon hay
ing his own way, with the result that a very
valuable diamond shortly afteryard
brought to light. Needless to add the. ORANGE
Free State was at once communicated with hnt
