ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION WILL BE
GREATEST EVER HELD ON EARTH
of
Forty Fifty Million Dollars-Niles of
Displays in More Than Twenty Buildings.

been 10th to believe such a statement.
But such is the tact. The exhibit pal.
aces Of the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position average much larger than
those Of Chicago and are greater In
number. About 100 acres of floor
space are provided in the various pal.
aces of the present Worlds Fair and
more than twenty buildings will be
used for exhibit purposes. The larg-
est of these is the Palace of Agricul-
ture, which covers twenty acres. The
next in size Is the Palace of Transpor-
tation, covering fifteen acres and con-
tanning four miles Of railway tracks
for the exhibit Of locomotives and
cars. At the Chicago Exposition
there were practically no outdoor ex-
hibits. At this Worlds Fair about 100
acres are given up to outdoor displays,
supplementing in a most pleasing
manner the hundreds Of thousands of
indoor exhibits. At the Chicago Ex-
position one building was used for
no less than three important depart
ments. At the Worlds Fair in st.
Louis four buildings, covering forty
five acres, are given up to the same
four departments.
The total cost Of the Worlds Fair
Is estimated at from forty to fifty
million dollars, exclusive Of the value
Of the exhibits. The Palace Of Ma.
chinery alone will contain exhibits to
the value Of eight million dollars.

Peculiar I1Iahland RemedIaa

A popular Highland remedy for both
consumption and general debility was
what is known as sudh nan cabar
("the juice of deer's horns"). These
we're gathered in the hills when the
animals cast them In the springtime.
Tney were boiled for some hours and
the juice thus obtained bottled, after
being strained. Candy sugar and
whisky are usually added to it nova
days. Crabs shells pulverized, and
eaten on bread and butter, were used
for consumption, asthma and whooping
cough in the Hebrides.

Amusing Error Of Frenchman That

A French visitor to New York. an

In A PRAIRIE LAND.
Editorial Correspondence

lEdltorial Correspondence.1
Moose Jaw, Assiniboi&
Farmers Review,
Chicago, July %, 1908.
Most Of the prairies in the United
States have ceased to exist Man has
broken them up with orchards, for
ests and farm buildings. But In
Western Canada the prairies still
stretch grandly from horizon to hori.
ION as yet unmarried by the hand OF
man, save where the iron road has
been laid. To a city man there is
something deliciously restful about
the vast grassy solltudes.
Numerous clumps Of trees mark the
course of the Assiniboine river, which
keeps in sight of the railroad for some
distance.
Grass is one of the notable things
about all the landscape of Western
Canada. 1t is remarkable fact that
the entire length of the Canadian Pa
clfic railway from its eastern termi-
nus to the Rocky Mountains is over
plains where grass grows. The sage
brush appears at some points, but
never to the exclusion Of grass. There
is thus not a mile of this country that
cannot be used for some agricultural
purpose-eithe for tilling or ranch
ing.
Moose Jaw is town of over 1000
inhabitants, and one of the most i'm
portant places in Assiniboia, being the
center Of very good farming coun-
try and a great grain and stock ship
ping point.
Near Moose Jaw agriculture and
ranching go hand in hand; for near
the town was seen a herd of beef
cattle several hundred in number. On
another side was seen a good sized
herd Of dairy cows. the property of
the citizens in the town.
'In riding over the prairies we saw
many good fields of alfalfa. The great
need Of the country is timber, which
grows readily where planted, as was
demonstrated by the shelter belts on
some Of the farms, and the trees on
the residence lots in the town.
Stories were told the writer of
men who last year cleared from their
wheat crop more than the land on
which 1t was grown originally cost
them. This is easy to believe, in view
Of the large crop and high price for
wheat last year. Henry F. Thurston.

agent Of the Canadian Government
you will have mailed to you a copy of
an atlas, railway rates. etc., giving
fullest information regarding Western
Canada.

1t Is now little more than two
months before the gates will open
upon the Worlds Fair at st. Louis and
the public will be invited to see the
greatest exposition that has ever been
created. The vast exhibit palaces are
complete and many of them have been
finished for several months. Within
the next two months all of them are
to be frightened with new coats Of
paint so that, on the opening day, the
magnificent array Of palaces will ap-
pear as fresh as newly blossomed
rose,
No one, no matter how vivid his i'm
agination, can picture to himself the
scene that will be presented when the
Exposition is complete. The more one
sees this great collection of exhibit
palaces and countless other buildings,
the more deeply impressed he be-
comes with the grandeur of the under
taking. AS the days grow longer and
the air becomes balmy with the
breezes Of spring, the Exposition will
take on far greater activity than 1t
has seen during the boisterous days
OF winter. In spite of the severe
weather, work has not ceased upon the
construction of the Worlds Fair for
more than day or two at time and
there is every expectation and prom
ise that it will be complete ON the
opening day.

cows food, sometimes through ice ten
inches in thickness and often through
Ice Of Ave or six inches.
Sometimes when the ice had moved
out with shift Of the wind, leaving
open spaces, access to the eel grass
would be easy, but frequently the ice
would have closed in, and then 1t
would be necessary to cut holes in 1t
to get at the eel grass below.
SO the work Of supplying the sea
cows table has been so far this win
ter attended by more or less difficulty,
but there has never been a day on

Mark Pictures With Thumbs.

In order to protect themselves from
forgeries of their pictures, some Brit
ish painters have taken leaf from
the scientists, and in addition to their
signatures impress the mark of their
thumbs on the wet oils or water col.
ors in one corner of the picture. The
idea of identifying people by the inn
pressions Of their finger tips was in
troduced by Sir Francis Cation and
has been practiced of late for the de-
lection of criminals.

To mention the big things OF the
Worlds Fair of 1904 would be to give
a catalogue Of the greatest achieve
ments of man In many lines of en-.
deavor. For example: We shall see
the largest locomotive ever built,
weighing ninety-hve tons and having
twelve driving wheels. We shall hear
the largest organ In the world in the
most beautiful festival hall ever built.
We shall see some Of the greatest sea-
coast defense guns manufactured for
the United States government. In the
Government Building, which is the
largest exhibit building ever erected
by federal authority at an Exposition,
there will be a model of half Of a
battleship for the Navy display. The
United States Government has also
erected bird cage so large that tall
trees grow within the inclosure, in
which will be held captive during the

Brain Growth.

Brain development is found by Prof.
Seggel OF Munich to have two periods
Of acceleration-from 10 to IL and
from II to Is in girls. and from IL to
10 and 10 to 20 In boys. At the period
Of most rapid increase in height-from
IL to IA years-the growth OF the
brain is less than one-hundredth that
Of the body, but at II to 10 It grows
one-thlrtleth as fast. and at 20 reaches
one-seventh of the body growth.
