been 10th to believe such statement.
But such is the fact. 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.

at the eel grass required for the sea
cows food, sometimes through ice ten
inches in thickness and often through
ice of five or six inches.
Sometimes when the ice had moved
out with a 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 it
would be necessary to cut holes in it
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
which the sea COW has had to go hun

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
~ 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-thirtieth as fast, and at 20 reaches
one-seventh Of the body growth.

Peculiar Highland Remedies.

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.
Tuey 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.
