general sports. perhaps a match game
OF ball or OF polo. despite. the closing
OF TIE latter season. The night effects
might De made elaborate and the thea
ters might also be induced To put on
special plays.
Thursday would be given over to
sports and perhaps n Venetian carni-
val in the evening. working in an illu-
minated harbor and shipping. In the
event OF such a start there would be a
Fourth marked with addresses in the
morning and the boat races inothe af-
ternon. with some special performances
in the evening. This would give a
chance for the eliminating effects on
Saturday. when with horse races. other
sporting events. and a grand carnival
to close, there would be no dead point
in the entire celebration.
The idea that the closing event be a
carnival would bring in TO a week many
elements Of entertainment and there
would be no difficulty in making the
various features such as would attract
every lover OF a fair and sporting
events in the entire group.
Among the many suggestions there
has come one which will cause a great
deal OF figuring by merchants and pro-
moters. This is the securing of the
N'NN e"S ASN.-S ~ NHS
removal back of unused building ma
teriaI, and the use of the pavement be-
fore that great structure for displays.
on the Eva side OF the street there
would be, under such a plan, a site for
band stand and plenty of booths
would be prepared. so that there might
be no opportunity for a business man
To be overlooked in the arrangements
for display.
The second plan is to fix the date to
coincide with the Agricultural Fair and
show goods OF the various merchants
in a tent pavilion erected in front of
the drill shed, where the main fair will
be held.
In case either plan is adopted there
will be a band stand and a concert |
from the band Will mark each after
noon and evening.

The Pelican Smiled.

There Is q sly old pelican in Central
park which has an almost human way
Of noticing what goes on about him
without seeming to do so. TIE other
day two herons in the same cage with
him fought over a fish. One had made
the catch, but the other had under
taken to wrest the morsel from its
rightful possessor.
They squabbled over it like two boys
who have hold Of the same baseball
bat. The scuffle brought them into the
neighborhood of the old pelican, who
stood, apparently asleep, with his big
bill tucked away under wing. Then
the heron dropped its fish, and the bat
tie went on.
No sooner had it been dropped than
the great bill came out from under
meath the wing and the fish went into
the pelican's pouch. Then the Lead dis
appeared again. The pelican was
plainly asleep.
When one heron gave up the fight
and flew away. the other looked about
for the prize. It was nowhere to be
seen. The keeper of the bird cages SOL
emnly asserts that he saw twinkle
in the eye which the pelican opened to
give glance at the retreating heron.-

How 1t Was Observed by Party NJ
German Scientists.
On their way between Telriz and
Teheran the members Of an expedition
sent to Persia by the German govern
ment to observethe transitof Venusmet
a solitary European lady riding in the
opposite direction, a member Of the
English colony, who was as clever as
she was beautiful. Having been long
a resident in Persia, she was fearless
~ riding alone long way ahead Of her
caravan. The Germans marveled at
such an apparition in such a reary
waste-wondered she wasn't afraid.
Wouldn't she let some Of them stand
by until her servants and baggage
came up? No, she was quite at ease,
and usually IN her travels was far
ahead Of her attendants, whose mules,
more heavily laden. could not keep her
pace.
"And now, gentlemen" she said,
s+who are you, and where are you
bound for"
They introduced each other. One was
the astronomer, another the photogra-
pher, another the archaaologist, the nat
uralist, and so on. and they We're going
to Ispahan to observe the transit Of
Venus. The lady smiled, started her
pony and waved her adieu, saying:
"To observe the transit Of Venus:
All, we'll, you can go home. now, gen.
temen! Your duty Is done. Goodby.'
The fair vision disappeared at can
ter toward the horizon, and it was said
that the Germans did not see the joke

Peculiar Roses.

One Of the wars Of the roses, the
dercest and deadiiest Of them all, was
fought on a field where, curiously
enough, a rose peculiar to the spot
grows or used to grow. 1t ia a rare
plant now, and the reason is explained
BY Mr.. Leadman in his account Of
Yorkshire battles. After describing
the terrible battle at Towton on Palm
Sunday, 1851, be says: Il cannot con-
clude this story Of Towton field With
out an allusion to the little dwarf
bushes peculiar to the Field Of the
White Rose and the Red
',rhey are said to have been plenti-
full at the commencement Of this CEN
tury, but the visitors have taken them
away in such numbers that Trey have
become rare. Such vandalism IS SIM
ply shameful, for the plants are said
to be unique and unable to exist in any
other soil. The little roses are white,
with q red spot on the center of each
of their petals, and as they grow old
the under surface becomes dull red

CUPOLA OF ST. PETERS.
Ttn Outline Remains an Unparalleled
Idea In Architecture.

Idea In Architecture.
The greatest Of the architectural en-
terprises Michael Angelo was called up
OIL to take up was the completing Of
st. Peters, and he devoted himself
through pure obedience to this task,
refusing ali compensation, offering his
unpaid services in that way both to
his master and to the service Of reli-
gion.
He had to struggle against the op-
posing ideas of the architects in charge
of the monument. who held by later
plans than those OF the first deviser,
and their enmity and misapprehension
Of what was best aimed at continual
thwarting Of all his intentions. He
managed, however, to bring back the
building to its original plan, that Of
his greatest enemy, Bramante, upon
whom he has left this noble judgment.
cit cannot be denied" said he, that
Bramante laid the first plan Of st. Pc
ter's clear and simple. and all who
have departed from his scheme have
departed from the truth
We have not the great cathedral as
Michael wished it, nor can We see in
it the creation Of his genius. But the
one thing that Michael Angelo left to
his successors in the work is the cupo-
la, whose outline remains as ar! unpaE-
alleled idea, as important landmark
in architecture as his other records Of
achievement in painting and sculpture.

The First Iron Ship.

The first iron ship has more reputed
b.rthplaces than Homer. Both the
CLYDE and the Mersey claim pre-eml-
nence in this respect. Sir E. J. Robi-
son Of Edinburgh designed an iron YES
sci in 1916, which was not launched
till three years later, and it is said
that an iron boat was worked on the
Severn even as far back rs 1887. Steel
was not used in the construction OF
merchant ships hulls until 1859. Old
salts were not alone in their belief that
wood was meant by Providence to
float, but iron to go to the bottom. 4

No animals whatever are found in
the dry parts Of caves Dampness or
g certain degree Of moisture seems to
be essential to their existence. Under
the stones one finds white, eyeless
worms, and in the damp soil all around
about are to be discovered blind beetles
in little holes which they excavate and
bugs Of the thousand leg sort. These
thousand leg bugs, which in the upper
world devour fragments Of dead leaves
and other vegetable debris, sustain life
in the caverns by feeding upon decay
ed wood, fungous growths and bats

can see numbers Of them gathered
