A PROMINENT FEATURE.
worlds Congress of Science and Art VIII
Be Prominent Feature of the
Worlds Fair.

New York, Feb. 25.-One of the feat
ures CT the Louisiana Purchase expo
sition at st. Louis next year is to be
the Worlds Congress of Science and
Arts. This congress will differ from
those previously held at worlds fairs
in that, instead of comprising a great
number of independent bodies of
men, there will be but single con-
gress, which will be, however, divided
and sub-divided as necessary, in order
that every branch of pure aud applied
science may be duly represented.
Prof. Simon Newcomb, of Washing
ton, d. c., has been designated as
president of the congress, and Prof.
Hugo Munsterberg, of Harvard uni
yersity, and Albion w. Small, of the
University of Chicago, as vice-presi-
dent. These three men have been re-
quested to act by an organizing COM
mittee which met Monday in New
York. This committee, after a two
days session, which was attended by
DR.. n. NJ. Butler, of Columbia, and
Mr.. John Schroers, a director of the
st. Louis exposition, adjourned Tues
day, after completing the programme.
According to this programme it Is
expected that the addresses to be de-
livered in the congress will be pre-
pared by the most eminent men of
the world in their respective
branches.
The date for the general meeting
of the congress has been fixed for
Monday, September 10, 1904. The aft
ernoon will be devoted to an address
by the president of the congress and
the two vice-presidents. In the aft
ernoon the congress will sub-divide
into seven grand divisions. In each
of these divisions two addresses will
be delivered. On Tuesday, Goth, these
divisions will be further sub-divided
into 25 departments, 16 of which re-
lating to pure science will meet in the
forenoon, and nine, concerned with
applied sciences, in the afternoon.
On the four remaining days of the
week these grand divisions will be
still further sub-divided into about
one hundred and thirty sections, of
which each will hold a single meeting
on some one of the days.
1t is expected that seventeen or
eighteen of the sections concerned
with the various phases of pure
science, will meet in each forenoon,
and from twelve to fourteen, con-
cerned with applied sciences and hu-
man progress generally, will meet in
the afternoon.

G0ldemberg's, Seventh and k SITS.

United States have their mail delivered
and collected by government carrier indi-
Gates not only the remarkable development
of what is termed rural free delivery but
its broad and deep significance to the coun-
try at large. When it is remembered that
this area comprises nearly one-third of the
territory at present devoted to agriculture,
and that the beginning of the present serv-
ice dates back as recently as 1896, a more
intelligent conception can be gained Of
its expansion. Yet the permanent organi-
cation Of this department Of the post
office was not affected until July 1, 1892,
when its necessity was emphasized by re-
ports which showed that s, 466 routes were
In operation, an increase Of 4, 165 in one
year, while on June 80, 1900. but 1876
routes were being served, requiring an ap-
preparation for expenses of $45O,OOO, which
in 1901 was raised to s.. 1913, 740. Since the
date of the permanent establishment, how
ever, the force of carriers has been in
creased. until at present 1t constitutes an
army of about 1900, who daily travel
over nearly 100000 miles of highway for
the benefit of population of about T.
600, 600.

A Horses Sense Of Smell.

From the Detroit Free Press.

in his bin, however hungry. He Will not

tion,ng sniff, or from bucket which some
odor makes offensive, however thirsty. His
intelligent riostruC will widen. CULVER and

make mortalsshpt his eyes and swallow

satisfied by either sight or whinny that her
colt is really, her, own until she has GER
titled nasal proof, of the fact. A blind
horse. now Lying. will not allow the ap-
proach of any, stranger without showing
signs of anger. not safely to be disregarded.
The distinction IS evidently made by his
sense of smell. and at considerable dis
lance. Blind horses, as a rule, will gallop
wildly aboutj a. pasture without striking
the surrounding fence. The sense Of smell
informs them of its proximity. Others will,
when loosened from the stable, go direct to
the gate or bars opened to their accus-
toned feeding grounds, and when desiring
to return. after hours of careless wander
ing. will distinguish one outlet and pa
tiently await its opening.

OLD GLASGOW.
Was Founded About 800 Years Ago
by Kentigern or st. Mungo.

From the Scottish American.
We hear great deal in these days In
praise of Glasgow as a truly model city,
and of it's municpalizing il the interest
of the citizens nearly every public fran
chise That is all true, and Glasgow highly
merits all praise bestowed upon 1t. AT
present. however, we would briefly remind
our readers of Glasgow in the olden time
hundreds of years before it obtained its
present state of perfection-and of which
we now rarely hear word.
It is about !, 800 years since Glasgow was
founded by Kentgern or st. Mungo, but
the city did not amount to much until after
the now much-described (by Scottish home
rulers) act Of union between Scotland and
England, about 200 years ago. 1t was that
act which enabled the merchant adventur-
ers of Glasgow to send out their ship to
Virginia and Maryland here for cargoes of
tobacco leaf. Thus tobacco manufacture
was the first important foreign trade and
home industry established by Glasgow en-
tterprise
the tobacco traffic. For a long time there
after the tobacco lords Of Glasgow-in
their scarlet robes and on their own privi-
legged beat-were almost as strongly marked
figures in history as were the merchants of
Venice. When the American colonies re-
volted and the United States republic was
established, Glasgow lost Its hourishing to-
bacco trade: but some of the tobacco
lords" who held heavy stocks made enor-
NOUS fortunes by the rise in prices. These
fortunes formed the foundation of larger
enterprises elsewhere. and the begetting Of
the numerous merchant princes that soon
characterized Glasgow.
When driven from Virginia the adventur-
ers established trade with the West Indies
where sugar succeeded tobacco as the sta
| pie Of trade. Then came cotton, and next
coal, which was soon followed by iron.
Meantime there had been continuous de-
I velopments of trade with india, with China,
with South America, with the United
States and ultimately, with Australia and
New Zealand. Till then the Clyde had been
| little better than a stagnant ditch, but
Glasgow by degrees formed deep. broad,
navigable waterway. and then came COM
| merce and shipbuilding. Now Glasgow is
| little short of being the wonder of the
| world-an example for all other cities and
towns.

SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.
Ruses Employed by People to Bs
Thought What They Are Not.

From the Mexican Herald
The desire is almost universal Whole
crowds of people of all classes are trying.
the world over, to get something for moth
ing. and they carry the art of dead beating
to an almost admirable. even If sinister,
perfection. Take the people in this city
who go constantly to church and part with
very few centavos in the whole round year
for the support of the reverend clergy.
Salvation as a free-lunch counter suits
these people perfectly. No wonder half the
clergy are poorly fed and poorly lodged.
People who think otherwise would do well
TO investigate.
There are people who are striving to get
public appreciation for their linguistic tai
ents. who stammer a few phrases of for
eign tongue. and are. when cornered. sure
to say. But / am so out of practice, you
know!' There IS also the literary genius
who never wrote anything any one would
read. and who never dips into book of
any solid merit. A volume of familiar quo
tations is his stock in trade.
In New York the big hotels suffer from
the stationery thieves who boldly walk iuto
their writing rooms and wait their chance
to stun their pockets with the gilt-stampcd
letter paper and envelopes of the hotel"
This paper they take to their cheap lodg-
ings. and so We. down here in Mexico, are
amazed to find that De Smythkins Is stay
ing at the Waldorf-Astoria. while he has
never been able to pay us the tenner he
owes us. since heaven known when. De
Smythkins Is trying to get the reputat ion
of a swell when he travels, sans paying
hotel bills.
The opening OF a new year is a good time
TO watch out sharp for this gentry. Turn
them down. and turn them down hard,
What tales our tailors might unfold of the
butterflies OF Plateros and San Francisco
who wear fine raiment. but forbear to pay,
They are trying to get the Something of
fashionable reputation for-nothing.

Growth Of Our Cities.
he Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The rapid increase OF the urban population
OF the United States is one of the marked
revelations of the last census. It is re-
fected in the building operations of hun
dreds of cities and towns. New towns are
springing into existence. and the older
urban communities are growing at tre-
mendous pace with comparatively few ex-
ceptions. The drift from the country SIDE
to the towns Is not a modern phenomenon,
but at no former period was the movement
more noticeable than It Is today. The great
American cities are Vearly constructing
thousands OF dwellings of various descrip-
lions for the housing of their inhabitants,
and many of the important cities OF Europe
exhibit the same activity.

Small Economies.
From the London Globe.

from the LONDON Globe.
A story Is told OF a well-known philan-
thropist OF the last century which aptly
illustrates a not uncommon state Of mind.
Two gentlemen were canvassing together
for religious or charitable society. On as
cending the steps Of the philanthropist' 8
house they overheard the master sharply
scoldfng housemaid for wasting half a
match. st is no use calling here" said
one Of the collectors to the other. But they
did call. and to their great surprise received
liberal donation. The visitors were made
so welcome that the more inquisitive of the
two gained courage to inquire OF the donor
how 1t happened that he. who was evident
ly 80 generous. should think it necessary to
rate domestic for such trifing offense
"Oh." was the reply. at is simply this: II
did not save In these small matters I
should have nothing to give to charity"
Doubtless the good man thought he spoke
the truth, and 30 think many people who
are constantly quoting the proverb which
says that II you take care of the pennies
the pounds win take care Of themselves. The
fact Is that such petty sayings are usually
more a matter OF temperament than of cal
culation- There are people so vehemently
utilitarian In their nature that they cannot
endure waste. Small economies are among
the things in which men lose the object
of life for the sake of living.
