In the event that this effort fails the

1t has been said that the Pan Amer

City by day and City Of Light by night,
and If this be true it should prove the
most beautiful sight of it's kind ever
created for the dclectation of the hui

Much has been written about the illu-
limitations of the Exposition, but the
public is scarcely aware of the mag
nificence of the scene which is to be
created by the use Of incandesccnt
lights in such generous profuSiOn about
the main court of the Exposition and
the buildings Immediately surrounding
it. When one says that 100000 of
these lights are to be used, the figures
look large, but they are nevertheless
true. Nor does this include all the
lights that are to he used in the general
illumination of the Exposition, for on
the Midway several concessions, such
as the Thompson Aeric Cycle, Streets
Of Mexico and some others will use as
many as 1000 lights each. In the
buildings and about the border of the
grounds will be arc lights, while incan-
descent lamps will also be used by
many individual exhibitors. Thus the
figures 100000 will be considerably in
creased. The illumination of the Elec

WOMAN BUFFALO HERDER.
She Raises BuffaIoes for Diversion
and Has n Hundred ON Her
Texas Ranch.

Mrs. Mary A. Goodnight, of Good
night, Tex, enjoys the distinction of
being the only woman in the world
who owns herd of buffaloes. There
are 100 in the herd, more than half
of which are pure bred, the remainder
being "cataloes," as a cross between
a buffalo and Galloway cow is called,
writes +. j. Dawson, in the ladies
Home Journal. The cataloes have
shaggy hair, but their color varies
from jet black to light brown, and
they are most readily distinguished
from the pure bred by their horns,
which are longer. The cataloes are
also much more tractable, and can
soon be taught to eat out of ones
hand. But the full-blood buffaloes-
of the Goodnight herd at least--never
repose full confluence in man. Big
and powerful as they are they are
timid and run away at the slightest
although they have taken food
from their owners hand from the
side of fence; nor will they
close quarters. Even with this repu-
tation for timidity Mrs. Goodnight
does not regard the pure bred buffa-
loes as trustworthy, and does not
consider it safe to go among them on
foot. Mrs. Goodnight also has herd
of IS elks. In the great park, two
square miles in area, each animal
herds with his kind. Even the pure
blood buffalo looks with royal con-
tempt upon his plebeian halt-brother,
the catalo, and the two keep wide
apart in separate and distinct groups.

prove to be of more genuine benefit to
those interested in the proper care of
live stock than any previous effort in
this direction. Stable construction Is
a question that appeals with great
force to every farmer who Is anxious
TO secure good results. The question
of expense is great barrier to the
proper building of this necessity. I'm
fortunately some of the early examples
of good stables were built by men of
large means, regardless of what the
cost might be. AS result practical
farmers were slow to take the matter
up, as the idea of a properly construct
ed stable became at once associated
with great expense.
One oh Ect of Mr.. F. A. Converse,
who has charge of the live stock and
dairy products at the Exposition, in
building Il model stable at the Exposi-
ton is to counteract this erroneous i'm
preston.
A properly constructed stable is not
necessarily an expensive one. Cleanli-
ness, fresh air and sunlight, with q
modulated temperature, may be OBJ

posed to the sunlight, but protected
from cold winds. The floor should be
of cement and carefully designed to fa-
ciltate cleanliness in every particular.
Double doors, fly screens and dark
blinds should be provided and made to
fit properly.
A system of ventilation should be
provided that will ventilate. Anything
will not do. BY excluding the cold and
the light ordinarily we also shut out
the fresh air. without which no an
imal can thrive. Many stockmen are
careful about the quality of the food,
though careless about everything else
in connection with the stable. In this
manner they are protecting their stock
in one direction while leaving them ex-
posed in many others.
Stable air is devtalized by passing
through the lungs. it is also being con-
taminated by chemical decomposition
of the eXcrementum as well as the
fumes arising from the fermentation of
damp bedding, etc.
To thoroughly understand how to
properly ventilate a stable it is neces-
sary to study the circulation of air at
changing temperatures, which is gov
erned by fixed laws and may be easily
understood. Warm air is lighter than
cold air. Generally speaking, foul air
is heavier than fresh pure air from the
outside, even at the same temperature
Starting from this well known princi-
pie, ventilation should be arranged ac-
cordingly. Fresh air should be let in at
the top and the foul air taken out at
the bottom.
