Located on the Midway, adjacent to
the Amherst gate, visitors to the Pan
American Exposition will find an i'm
mense circular building This is the
home of the great war cyclorama; the
now famous Battle of Mission Ridge"
The great battle painting is sixty feet
high, and three hundred and eight feet
in circumference. 1t is more than the

tutcs the majority of panoramas, for it

From the SUBMITS of these lofty

The scene before you represents the
last Of those three memorable days in
November, 1868, which commenced

Blows are raining about the ridge,

Young girls in Japan are employed
to perform a task which cannot be
done in the same time and with the
same ease by any other body Of work
folk in the world. They are engaged
at the different ports in loading the
large steamers with coal. The coal
barges are swung alongside the vessel,
from stem to stern Of which are hung
q series Of platforms, the broadcast
nearest the base and diminishing as
they rise. On each of these platforms
a girl stands. Men on the barges fill
baskets containing about two buckets
C coal each, and pass them to the girl
standing on the lowest platform. She
passes them to the girl above her, and
a continuous and unbroken line of
baskets pass into the vessel from 10
in the morning until 4 in the after
noon.
The girls viii handle from sixty to
seventy baskets of coal per minute,
and over 1000 tons of coal a day.
This really arduous toll they perform
as if it We're mere play, for they keep
up a running fire Of jokes, and their
laughter is continuous. They often
break into a song, the notes of which
are clear, melodious and stimulating

Eating Locusts.

The Filipinos in Manila are having
nm unexpected feast It came to
them like the mama to the Israelites,
being furnished by a swarm of locusts,
which recently flew over the city. To
these people the locusts are a great
delicacy. The insects are served dry
or In a pot-pourrl They are also
made into pies and cakes, and in some
instances ground into powder and
stepped in liquid so as to make a bev-
erage At times catching the insects
becomes a very profitable business. In
Manila and the other large cities they
sell at 50 a sack, gold. These sacks
hold about a bushel. When dried the
locust can be kept indefinitely, The
natives never eat the grasshoppers
green, but they eat them in every
form, dried or cooked. They even car
ny them in their pockets and eat them
as they would candies and other con
fections. When dried the locust is
nice and crisp, and tastes something

carried one Of the kittens about with
him and marveled much that the kit

The other day he saw the mother
cat carrying a kitten in her mouth,
and a great light broke on Stradley.
That afternoon he walked solemnly in
to the house, holding a struggling kit

way"

A Clever Postoflce Horse.

There is clever postOt1ice horse in
Brooklyn which for some time past
has been getting double rations, and
will probably continue to do so until
the postoffice men discover his trick.
From the sub-station at the corner
Of Ninth street and Fifth avenue are
sent out a number of mail collecting
carts through the surrounding dis
trict. When the horses drawing these
carts come in they are driven up in
front Of the station to stand until it IS
time for another collection. While
thus standing they are fed. On the
curb in front Of each horse is placed
a bag of oats. None Of the horses are
tied, for standing is a part OF their
business.
This is when the horse with a double
appetite has his opportunity 10 per-
form a skillful manoeuyre at each
meal. He waits until all the r3tions
are distributed, then, paying 10 at
tention to his own allotment, he be-
gins slowly to back Slowly, but sure
~ he backs into the morse below aim,
which in turn pushes back further and
further until in a few moments the
clever horse in front who started the
backward procession is standing in the
place of his neighbor in the rear with
his head in that animals feedbag.
Then he begins to eat ravenously, I'm
ishes his neighbours oats as soon as
possible, and steps nimbly back to
his own place, eats his own oats, and
settles contentedly for a stand-up nap
with a well-fed air Of placid innocence.
But the horse at the end Of the line
suffers. That is no affair Of the clever
inventor Of the scheme, however,

Is all the stranger when you take into
consideration the fact that there are
more singers and better facilities for
pushing songs than IN former years

itself upon the market At present a
publisher has to humor the singers and
do q lot Of hustling. Some Of the top

whims Of the singers n publisher must
have at least three pianos in his ostab-

vocalists to teach the songs, print
professional cards and do a thousand
other things. You see the competi-
ton Is keen, and If you should hurt
the feelings Of any singer, especially a
man or woman Of reputation, you will
have considerable trouble In making
your songs popular
publishers have to take q lot of
chances, too. For instance, to popu-
larize a song you must have slides
made for stereopticon views. This
costs quite a sum. One publisher spent
$500 to take pictures for a set Of
slides for the song Sing Again That
Sweet Refrain He had to employ a
troupe OF colored minstrels, a band
and n hall Fortunately the song made
money and he did not lose anything.
There are other things to contend with,
too, such as lawsuits, etc. There was
n dispute over the ownership Of one
song, for instance. After fighting in
the courts for some time one Of the
firms concerned compromised by pay
ing the other $4,000 in cash and the
costs of the suit."-Cleveland Plain

Strange stories were told about the
place. Green's ghost was reported to
have been seen, and the teachers re-

sounds about the building. The wal

thrifty one, never bore foliage after
