Silver Services Presented to Francis and
Secretary Thompson.
After the cheering following Presi-
dent Francis speech had died away,
Jestus J. Wade, of st. Louis a mem
Der of the board of directors, was in
troduced and present to President
Francis beautiful silver service as
token of esteem from the exposition
management. A similar gift was pre-
sented to Treasurer William P. Thomp-
son. Unfortunately Thompson was I'M
able to be- present, as he was confined
at his home with a severe cold. Presi-
dent Francis, who has probably been
more closely connected with Thompson
than any other one official from the be-
ginning of the Worlds fair. responded
for Thompson.
Promptly at p. m. all the great ex-
hibit palaces were closed and visitors
were excluded. In the Palace of Agri-
culture onslaughts were made on some
of the exhibits, where the settings were
composed of straw and fragile mate
RIAL and for time general demolish-
ment was threatened, but prompt ac-
ton in etfecting a general ejectment
put stop to the threatened turmoil.
AS the night drew on throngs con-
centrated in the main avenues to view
for the last time the magnificent cleo
trio illumination. One solid stream of.
humanity swept through the Pike,
from end to end. The spirit of revelry
was there. Never since the opening
had more enlivenment been shown at
night on the grounds.
Steadily the white electric bulbs sill
houetted the exhibit palaces against
the night, periodically the illumination
of the Colonnade of States surmount-
ing Festival hill changed from white
to red, then to green, and then back
to white. Over on Agricultural knoll
the great floral clock clicked off the
minutes of the departing pageant.
And in the night rang out the tones
of the messive bell as the midnight
hour was tolled by the great clock.
Instantly hush seemed to pervade
the entire grounds. The glowing cleo
trio bulbs slowly began dimming, the
pulsations of the great engines that
drove the cascades gradually died
down. The light faded steadily, dimin-
ishing until but faint glow was per-
ceptible. Suddenly there was darkness
and the Louisiana Purchase exposition
had passed into the chronicles of his
tory.

King Edwards Red Socks.

The gilded youth of the continent Of
Europe and many who are not gilded,
have rushed into red ties and socks
because the king of England wears
these colors at Marienbad. It is COM
forting, in a way, to know that the
superior suffers just as we do from
these little weaknesses. Do you re-
member reading few years ago that
q Journalist had cabled across to New
York that he had just seen Lord Mar
Gus Beresford in Pail Mall with the
leg of one trouser turned up and the
other not? Immediately and unani-
mously did the golden youth of the
States begin to take it's walks around
with trousers turned up on one leg but
not on the other.
Our king, when visiting Paris as
prince of Wales some years ago, went

A young man men who was work

well, if you were working for a

ask him to harness his horses and take
you to a certain part of the country?'
the director asked.
No. sir. But if he had his horses

Science Aids Fish Industry.

A Norwegian has invented queer
method of finding out where the fish
are. A miscrophone, an instrument
that will catch and transit the least
little bit of sound, it lowered into the
water from a fishing smack. and a
wire from it leads to a telephone
aboard the boat Now, as the schools
number thousands and tens of thou
sands of fish, their passage through
the water naturally causes a rushing
sound which can be heard by the fish
ermen at the telephone, and thus they
are enabled to lower their nets at the
right time and III the right place.

Artificial Butterflies.

The preparation of artificial butter
flies mainly consists in spreading with
a camel's hair brush very thin mucilage
or paste over the wings Of ordinary
butterflies and then sprinkling over
this certain delicate metallic powders
Of various colors. By this process a
very common butterfly can be trans
formed into one that is extremely rare.
The fraud came to light, says the Liv-

noted for its brilliant red and white
hues.

and a half west of here. Nissen is
supposed to have be- n washed ashore
during the night. His "Foolkiller'' was
about twenty rods down the beach
from the body, and was considerably
damaged.
A life preserve and hisovercoat were
fastened to the basket shaped car in
the boat. The dead mans hands and
face are frozen, and the features re-
fleet his suffering. The clothing on the
body was somewhat torn. 1t is thought
that Nissen could not have been dead

Points of the Speeches-D ockery for Ex-
pansion Francis Is Grateful.
The closing exercises were held at
the base of the Louisiana Purchase
monument in the Plaza of st. Louis,
where were held seven months ago the
exercises that formally opened the
gates to the world On the opening
day the vast assemblage was buoyant
in spirit and filled with a unanimous
desire to give expression to good feel
ing; on the closing day depression pre-
vailed generally because the conclusion
was at hand, and it was rather a
mournful assemblage that formed a
solid phalanX around the tall monu-
ment and listened to the farewell adj
dresses. There was cheering, but it
was the cheering Of final leave-taking,
and not the spontaneous outburst Of
enthusiasm.
The principal speeches delivered
were by Governor Dockery, Of Mis-
souri,, and President Francis. Mayor
Wells spoke briefly and introduced
Governor Dockery, who first paid a
tribute to the president of the United
States for the kindly feeling he had ex-
pressed toward the exposition. He also
paid tribute to grand old Missouri
for her worldwide hospitality, and to
"old St. Louis" for her hospitality and
enterprise. He said the exposition
proved that the United States is the
mightiest power Of the world today;
that they are world power, and he
wanted them to continue world en-
larging power. He gave notice to the
nations that 1--WE are going to whip in
commerce if in no other way"
President Francis declared himself
dazed by the honor done him, and
modestly interpreted it as more of a
tribute to all the men who had worked
for the success of the fair. He him
self paid a warm tribute to the man.
ner in which each man in a responsible
position had done his work. He said
that time would be required to demon
strate the nature of that work as ex-
pressed by the exposition as a whole.
He closed with his own thanks for the
manifestation of good will expressed
