1t has been announced that the great

The general ground plans and per-
spective views of the buildings of the
Louisiana Purchase Centennial Expo
sition are on exhibition. They are the
designs of the most celebrated archi-
tects of the country, and their setting
among the forest trees on the Forest
Park worlds fair site makes a daz-
zling picture. The working plans for
these buildings, which will cost about
$S,OOO,OO0, are now being prepared. and
contracts for their construction will
be let about Dec. 1. Other building
plans are to follow. About $4,000 900
will be expended on the grounds in
the next six months. Contracts for
this work will be let next month.
Supervising architect ]. Knox Tay-
lor of the United States Treasury De-
partment has made plans for the gov
ernment building and they have been
approved by the government board.
The building will be 600 feet long,
about 100 feet wide and contain about
100000 square feet of floor space,
without interior columns, the roof be-
ing supported on steel trusses. Its
construction, Mr.. Taylor says. will re-

carried out the Pan-American idea

Notwithstanding the financial de-
felt, the exposition. with its un-
equaled electrical display, will stand
in memory as a superb reminder of the
public spirit and enterprise of the
City of Buffalo. With the dark sha6-
ow of a national tragedy over her at
the time when the exposition had
hoped to enter its period of record

blare of trumpets and hushed the noise

this trying misfortune commanded the
admiration of the nation.

WHEN THIRST INSPIRES.
Odd Means Resorted to to Get tie
Necessary "Eye-Opener."

What won't some people do to OBJ
tain drink of liquor?" was a ques-
ton propounded the other day by
Lieut.. Charles Cole of the Central dis
trict. The official answered the query
himself by relating two or three stories
of odd means resorted to to get the
necessary "eye-opener," says the Bal
timore American. "One OF the funniest
ever heard Of" said the lieutenant,
"was trick played by Marsh mar
ket space hobo on three Of his COM
panions. The four men had engaged
a room on small street near the
space. II was in the dead of winter
and they borrowed a small stove OF
the egg-shaped variety from neigh
Dor. They built fire in ii, got thor
oughly warmed and then stretched out
upon the floor to sleep. At an early
hour the next morning one OF them
awoke in cold sweat, shivering like
leaf The fire had gone out, ana
the room was like an icehouse. The
first thing that crossed his mind was
how to get a drink. He had no money
and the next thought was how to get
some. An idea struck him. Without
disturbing his companions he seized
the stove in his arms and proceeded
to the nearest junk shop, where he sold
1t for a small amount and got his
drink. 1t is not necessary to add that
he and his friends parted company.
There was another fellow who daily
patroled the space. He had cork
leg. He wanted drink badly one day
and pawned his artificial limb. Now
he walks with a crutch. In one OF the
pawnshops on the space you will see
set Of false teeth II | am not mis-
taken, they are exhibited in the win
dow. Until a year ago they were in
the mouth OF a once pretty damsel.

Among recent lines of study in the

The newt OF these the ones involving
the frog and the turtle have been the

determine whether these lowly crea-
lures had any faculty of memory at all
and this required a special apparatus
