EXCEIS IN BEAUTY.
THE PAN-AMeRiClN EXPOSITION CITY
 OF PALACES

A Harmony of Architectural, seu;p- tural, HorticuZturaR, FEoral, EIcc- tricnl and Color MGccts--ProEreaa of a Century to B. utEustrotcd.
 The Pan-American may not be as big as some former eXpositions, but it will be more beautiful than any of them, The Exposition site is a commanding one, containing 350 acres adjoining Buffalo's lovely and expansive Della ware Park. In selecting the Spanish Renaissance style of architecture as basis for the Exposition architects to work upon, the managers paid com plimeDt to the LatinAmerican countries and at the same time pro vided for an effect of surpassing gran Ideur. The style has been somewhat moderniZed in it's treatment. with the result of enhanced beauty. Color is judiciously applied to relieve the staff covered structures of the blank monot- ony which has characterized former exposition cities. 1t is rich. charming. restful to the eye-the very perfection of color decoration of buildings. The prismatic splendor has evoked the term "Rainbow City" for the ensemble of Exposition palaces. Sculpture will add to the attractiveness. Majestic statues and costly groups will adorn domes and towers and guard the en- frances to buildings. There will be more than 125 groups of statuary in the Exposition City, the work of the best sculptors of the country, under the direction of Karl Bitter.
 The court settings will be superb The principal courts are the Court of Fountains and Plaza, which form north and south perpendicular and connect with q transverse court called the Esplanade.
 Surrounding the main group of build ings and b0fdered with double row of trees and grassy banks is a broad and stately canal more than q mile long
 Ill perfect harmony with the gran deur and beauty of tlie buildings and courts will be the horticultural and floral embellishments of tue grounds
 Rising high above all the other struc- lures on the Exposition grounds the Electric Tower is the first object to ar rest the attention of visitors. 1t is 391 feet high. The base is 80 feet square to a height of 200 feet This base Is fianked on the east and west sides by colonnades 75 feet in height, semicir- cular in form, which curve toward the south, forming clasp setting for the great basin of the Electrical Fountains From the fountains to the Goddess of Light at the apex the Tower will be one mass of quiet beauty by day and of fiery. sparkling grandeur by night Elevators will take visitors to the res taurants upon the colonnade, where they will have commanding view of the broad and beautiful Court of Foun- tains.
 The electrical display will be far su perior to any yet attempted.
 These are the principal features which will excel all former attempts

It will be on

buildings on the grounds, containing one of the largest and finest church organs in the world. Many of the most famous bands of both the new and old worlds will give concerts in the Temple of Music and from various bandstands in the Plaza, Esplanade and other parts of the grounds. Among them will be S0usa'S famous band and the Mexican government mounted band.
 In tie Music Temple there will he two organ recitals each day by prom inent cXponents of this branch of the musical art and concerts by the leading instrumental organizations of the Unit cd States and Europe every day during the progress of the Exposition.
 The great organ will be equipped with all the latest improvements known to expert organ builders. It will have four manuals. about 50 speaking stops and will be voiced on three different wind pressures. The acton will be the most complete style of tubular pneumatics. Of the four manuals, the great and swell organ will each have II stops. The choir organ will have II, the solo organ and the pedal organ 10 steps. The couplers. pedal movements and ad- unstable combinations will be of the most modern type. Tho case will be of Gothic design.
 The principal national holidays will be observed with musical festivals, in which school children will participate There will be grand jubilee chorus of thousands of young voices in the spacious Stadium

of the kind and serve to make the Pan- American Exposition City the most beautiful spectacle ever prepared by the genius of man for a similar enter prise.
 The American Exposition con- cerns itself with the progress of the countries of the western hemisphere and the new possessions of the United States. To show the achievements make for more rapid progress In the future is the chief purpose. In order to realize the ideal in mind the various countries must be drawn into closer re- lations commercially and socially. The golden opportunity comes with this Ex- position when the representative men of all the countries in question will be resources of the continent display yed Such an international congress of peo- ples, exhibits and ideas must needs de- yelop much of good for the inhabitants of the continent and posterity. It of fers the chance for better acquaintance. the acQuirement of new and useful knowledge, comprehension of each others opportunities and necessities, the settlement of questions which have too long retarded international trade in Pan-America and the laying of a strong and enduring foundation for an intercourse which will be mutually beneficial

FASHIONS ABROAD.
Velyets for EveninS Wear and Golden
 ER1broideries.

A marked tendency toward picture gowns is singulariy evident On all the latest evening toilettes, yet nothing extreme is copied, writes a foreign critic of the modes. The most simple point ef beauty seems to be abstract d from all old time garment, and con- bined with the ingenious design of more modern style, which often forms a captivating result. Lace and guipure Inning of tissu dor, when gold, redect- ing through the design, adds a particu- lar charm. Velvet for evening wear will be much cut up with lace golden embroideries and painted gauge in crustations. Pompadour and richly painted sashes will gaTnish lace and embroidered muslin toilettes. Ve-y full tule dresses trimmed with I2 numeraDle bouinonncs and spansied delieately with straSs stones, will be adopted for toilettes de bal. They will sweep the ground gracefully, and not be unpractically long.
 There is every possibility of go'd re- maining in favor for early spring models On many white muslin blous- es (noW made to wear with costumes de tailleur on the Riviera) the tiny tucks are stitched with gold thread. and taffetas silk blouses are brocaded with gold flowers. This glittering metal is woven in such delicate tis sues that it is introduced in an E1z9b trusive manner on almost everything Workmanship and embroiderias show no sign of becoming less costly; on the contrary, as ideas are improved upon the work seems to become more perfect, increasing in fnesse and ac- curacy. Rich brocaded velvet designs are often cut away from the silk, leav- ing space fer an incrustation of lace, and added to another portion of the dress, when it is sometimes painted in colors. The simple cloth gown will always Do worn by the Pafisienne= =f5r the morning promenade. On these gar ments an original note is more or less frequently introduced by the change of a collar or cuff, together with a smart cravat of lace A fold gallon neckband, falling in two black and sold embroidered ends in front, is now q popular etcetera, worn over a gold stitched ight silk tucked blouse. Quite a pretty notion is a moHsseline bow cravat, having kilted ends, stitched with fine gold thread

Sunday for III Luck.

Sunday rapidly is taking the place in popular superstition of Friday as an unlucky day. It used to be that all hangings took place on a Friday; no sailor would put to sea on Friday, and it was considered a bad day in which to beg, buy borrow or sell Now, however, We are told that Sunday is becoming the day Of bad luck, and cer- tain tragedies of the first class which have occurred of late on Sunday have helped along the superstition The late Czar of Russia was assassinated on Sunday, and so was President Carnot and King Umberto. It was on Sun day also that the Fay Bridge was blown down. In the north of England it is considered most sure to bring calamity to cut the hair or nails on the Sabbath.

MOULT OF BIRDS.

One Btr4 ..eeen s.nser, Red in

 MT. Witmer Stone addressed the Biological club of the University of Pennsylvania recently on the "Moult Of Birds"
 This subject, said the speaker, is enc that has interested me for a long time, but it seems to haF@ been gen. crafty neglected by oY55ish65egists. All birds moult regularly ence a year: this is q physical necessity, for the wearing of the feathers makes their replace ment an absolute requirement if flight is to be continued This annual CT nost-nuptial moult occurs at tne end of the nesting season. The feathers never drop out at the same time; the process is gradual and during it's con tinuance the bird has never more than one or two feathers missing at once In the body, as= recently discovered by place a!onG tess3iar= tracts. The wing feather moult begins with tfe inner most of the primaries. the ninth, gs1ich is moulted first; tHe others fol v n succession outWa1dlg. In the tall tAo first feather lost is the middle orc and, as With the wings, it is followed by the loss of the next outward one, and so on. Here Mr. Stone exhibited specimens showing the various stages Of wing and tail moulting. He then referred to a number of executions to the rule, such as that of the wood peckers, which in moulting lose the side feathers of the tail first, and, con- tinuing, said some species have addi- tional moults. like the scarlet taneger. It undergoes two moults. It is a green color in winter and a red color in sum- mer The claim has been set up by some ornithologists that this is not the result of moulting, but due to an actual change of pigment There is, however, no evidence to sustain this view. The speaker then explained the succession of plumages from the egg to the adult, and followed with a de tailed consideration of p1unla Ses, with the reasons for same and for excen- tions to general rules in a large num- Der of birds, Illustrating his remarks with specimens. The subject was dis eu.ssed by Drs Montgomery, Calvert Conklin and Harshberger
