Gods, Demons and Jewels for SnIe at
Auction-Revercd Chirese Idols.
Suppose a body of foreigners had come
to London, had gone to the National gall
lery and ruthlessly torn from their frames
some of our cherished Turner's and Land
seerS and cut them up: had made q dash
for Westminster abbey and chopped the
coronation chair to pieces; had hurried
oil 10 the Tower of London and torn the
royal jewels from their cases, pOckcting
some and trampling others in the dust
what would have been the feelings of the
English people, says a London newspa-
was enacted by the allied troops when
they got to Pekin. They looted jewels,
silks worries, gods, demons and affairs
They tore down gold. they ripped open
cases, they dragged down tiligree and the
work of great art and rare patience, the
revered idols of generations.
Some of the proceeds of this ruthless
lootlng will be sold at Stevens rooms.

DIDN'T LIKE PHILLIPS BROOKS.
The Greatness of Simplicity Not UA-
derstood by Farmer Folk.

Phillips Brooks eloquencc and his pow
er to sway audiences from laughter to
tears are well remembered by all who
ever heard him. Yet il is recorded that
once at least he was weighed in the ball
ance and found wanting, and by the
members Of a country parish at that.
His prediction for tersc Saxon words,
the ability to use which with effect is so
coveted by all orators and writers, proved
his undOng.
The great preacher had been invited to
spend a fortnight at the country house OF
a friend mp the Hudson. When his ac-
ceptance was received, the rector and yes
trymen Of the only Episcopal church for
miles around were greatly elated. Here
was q chance to hear the noted clergy
man and to draw the city people summer
ing In the neghborhood to the church.
A committee waited upon the clergyman
the day after his arrival and easily Oh"
tanned his consent to otficiate at the serY-
ice on the following Sunday.
The fact was duly advertised in the
country papers, and when the day came
the church was filled to the doors. The
city people were out in great numbers,
while the country folk had gathered from
miles around. The sermon was followed
with the closest attention, but on many
honest country faces there was q look Of
great disappointment

great buildings are decorated in har-
monious tints, and the effect is very
beautiful.
The centerpiece of the Exposition is
an Electric Tower 400 feet high, upon
and about which will be an electrical
display surprising any ever yet at
tempted. More than 10000 lamps and
a searchlght with a 30-inch protector,
capable of casting rays for a distance OF
fifty miles. will be used in the illumina-
ton of this tower.
There are more than thirty-three
acres of beautiful courts. There are in
all the courts large pools of water into
which hundreds of fountains will throw
their sparkling streams. Never before
has such a work been undertaken upon
so grand scale.
The united efforts of the builders of
the Exposition have produced harmO-
NOUS, artistic and brilliant ensemble,
and the Exposition presents most
beautiful spectacle.
In all the exhibit divisions the Pan
American Exposition will be very COM
plete. 1t is the aim of the Exposition
to show the progress of the Nineteenth
Century in the Western World. The
exhibits will be gathered from all the
principal States and countries Of the
Western Hemisphere and the new ISL
and possessions of the United States
government. Special efforts are being
made to bring together exhibits of ex-
ceptional novelty and of the highest
educational value.
The Exposition grounds are in the
northern part of Buffalo, adjacent to
the large and beautiful Delaware Park.
They are about one mile in length from
north to south, and half a mile wide.
There are $50 acres, including 1913 acres
of improved park lands and lakes. A
pleasing first impression is sure to be
obtained by the visitor, no matter by
which way he enters the Exposition
grounds. The situation of the grounds
and the manner in which they have
been laid out. render possible the at
tainment of this end.
The gates open on May LIST. and the
Exposition will continue six months.
1t is estimated that the total cost of
the Exposition, exclusive OF exhibits.
but including the Midway, will be
about S1O,0OO,00O.

Invention as a Profession.

1t has been often said that every man
is an inventor, if he had only the Gppor-
tunity of exercising his talents In any
case. it seems clear that the faculty III
invention is not SO much Of a born gift
as is generally supposed. Why should
not the technical pupils be encouraged 70
attempt at least 70 invent by the exercise
of some very simple means Of educatiouf
Surely it would not be difficult 70 prepare
series Of mechanical models more or
less imperfect in their operation, and call
upon the pupils to employ their wits in
deyising improvements in them. The in
tellectual training cntailcd by such a
course Of instruction would in itself be
most valuable. and the results peculiarly
interesting 1t would teach pupils TO
think and induce a habit Of mind in
the examination and criticism Of mechan
isms that should prove Of the greatest
use to them in their subsequent careers

GO HE Pan-American Exposition is
the first great public event of the
"a Twentieth Century. Its domi-
nant purpose is to illustrate progress
during the century just closed and lay
a strong and enduring foundation for
international, commercial and social
unity in the New World. In several re-
spects the Exposition outriyals all for
mer enterprises of its character. The
most important of these are the artistic
color decorations of the buildings, the
electrical effects, the original sculpture,
the hydraulic and fountain effects, the
horticultural and floral effects, and the
court settings.
The electrical display win be the most
complete ever made, the nearness to
the Exposition grounds of the great
plants which have harnessed Niagara
and put its tremendous power to com
mercial use, making this possible. A
Steel Electric Tower, an Electric Foun-
tain and the Court of Fountains furnish
opportunities for extraordinary out
door displays of electrical wonders
About half a million incandescent
lamps and one hundred searchlights are
used In the Illumination
The decorative lighting of the build
ings takes advantage Of the many
handsome designs in staff and brings
them out with translucent effects or
outlined with points of light. Advaut-
age is also taken of the numerous tow
ers, turrets and domes to produce a
starry effect.
Sculpture is used in the adornment
of the Court of Fountains, the Trl-
umphal Bridge, the Esplanade, the
Plaza, the Electric Tower, the Bridge
of the Three Americas, entrances to
buildings, and in many other ways,
there beirr upward of 125 original
groups of statuary, by Karl Bitter and
other scuiptors Of world repute. Over
500 pieces are used. The plastic Orna-
mentation of the buildings is very in
tricate and beautiful. All the buildings
are covered with staff, which is mould
ed into thousands of beautiful and fan
ciful shapes. The display Of original
sculpture is the most magnificent ever
used for decorative purposes at any ex-
position. Never before at any exposi-
ton has an effort succeeded to produce
a harmonious color scheme. All of the
