Salesville, Ohio, May ~2nd.-There is a
Civil War veteran in this place who is
very positive in his way and when he
makes a statement everyone knows he
means it and that it is true. His name
is Mr.. j. Stephens, and he has written for
publication the following letter:

When President Roosevelt touched
the electric key at the white house in
Washington, which set in motion the
machinery of the worlds fair at st.
Louis, he not only opened to the
world the greatest display of the arts
OF peace the world has ever known, but
he gave to the nation a fit climax of a
century Of growth of that vast territory
west of the Mississippi-the Louisiana
territory.
When, at the swing of a lever, 90, 1000
gallons OF water per minute was re-
leased to flow over the beautiful cas-
cades in front of Festival hall, there
was completed the most beautiful ex-
position picture the world has ever
seen, a picture that will live in the
mind of every visitor to the great fair.
Chicago had it's Court of Honor, its
stately palaces set against a back
ground of the blue waters of Lake
Michigan; Buffalo had its wonderful
illumination, its dusk of evening
Frightening into day again as the
countless thousands of twinkling
lights brought back the effect of the
rising sun, but these pictures, beautiful
as they were, have been surpassed by
the glory of the cascades, the foaming
waterway, rushing downward from the
co~lonnades surrounding Festival hall,
to the great lagoons, with their myriad
colors, intersecting the wonderfully
beautiful grounds in all directions.
Just as this newest of ~expositions

All of the machines used in the

current motors. the power for which
IS transformed from $50 volts to 220.
The gas for all heating operations,
such as %annealing, melting, ETC., is
manufactured by an independent plant
situated outside the building, and so
arranged that it can be controlled in
the exhibit. These machines were de-
signed and built especially for this
purpose.
First Of the series of devices com.
posing the plant is a furnace which
supplies a heat of 1000 degrees f. for
the melting Of metal alloys. Here the
metal is cast into ingots and washed
in a dilute solution of sulphuric acid
The ingots are then run through the
rolling mill and reduced in thickness
from one-half an inch to eighty-fve
thousandths Of an inch. This mill is
operated by a so horse power motor.
After rolling the strips are heated
in the annealing furnace to soften
them for the cutter.

surpasses all others in beauty, SO, also
does 1t in size. One thousand two hun
dred and forty acres, literally covered
with he treasures, the productions, the
curlosities Of &C world, tell the story
of the fair in a sentence. No one Wis
itor will ever see it all, though he
spent the full time the exposition is
open at the task. An exposition which
cost $50, 000, 900 before it's gates were
opened to the public; an exposition
to which So nations from all cor
ners of the world have sent their
best for the people of the world
to look upon; al exposition two miles
long and n mile wide; an exposition
that is twice the size of any other to
which the public were invited; an ex-
position that is larger than the three
previous large American expositions
combined. Such is the exposition
with which st. Louis celebrates the
centennial Of the Louisiana purchase.
But the men responsible for the ex-
position do not wish that it should at
tract. by its size alone. They have
builded for beauty, as well as for big
ness, and who can stand in the center
of the great panorama without being
aroused to a pitch of enthusiasm by
the beauty that surrounds him? 1t is
the beauty, rather than the size Of the
fair, that first appeals to him.
Another thing that appeals to the
American, the man who loves his coun-
try, is the sentiment the exposition
stands for. 1t is a sentiment tina. is
fully exemplified in the imposing he
roic statues of the states that stand on
either side Of Festival hall. These
statues typify, not the states of the
east, but those of the west, the states
carved out of the Louisiana territory,
the states that stretch from the gulf
to the Canadian border, from the Mis-
sissippi to Puget sound; states that
have within a century OF time been
builded out of the wilderness. 1t is
for these the exposition has been build
ed; 1t is these again that have made
the exposition possible. The lesson
they teach is written deep in the his
tory Of the nation.
To attempt an itemized description
CT the wonders this exposition has
brought to the doors of the people Of
the central wess is impossible In the
space OF a newspaper article. Twelve
thousand car loads Of exhibits found
space within the great palaces. 1t is
almost Impossible to realize what such
a statement means until n has gone
from building to building, from ex-
hibit to exhibit. Nor is tie space in
the building wasted. Every niche is
filed with s1.1ething Of interest, and
the demand was for almost double the
amount at the disposal of the author
tiles. Some idea OF this may be had
from the statement that the breakfast
food manufacturers alone asked for
more space than would have filled all
the Agricultural building, covering il
acres Of ground, and with four miles
OF aisles.
To pick even the more Interesting ex-
hibits is almost an inpossibilIty,

THE blow had come so late in life
that it was almost impossible for
Homer Warfeld ssto stand under 1t.
Then, too, the whole life of the man had
been such an unbroken series OF sue
cesses, and his character so dominant,
withal, that it was like pulling up the
very roots to bow down in defeat and
humiliation. Then, too, there was
purely the physical side. For more than
40 years the mere matter of living for
himself and his family had been an in
cident with him. Even the vast sums
1t had cost him in the later years figured
so trivially as matter OF percentage
of the vast sums he handled and the i'm

BUT ONE PROPER TIME.
Noted Massachusetts Horticultural
Says That All Pruning Should
i @ he Done In June.

After three score years Of experience
in orchard culture, allow me to say
something on the proper time for
pruning. There is but one proper time,
the month OF June, when the new bark
forms on the wood.
More orchards are ruined by being
pruned at improper times than from all
other causes. II pruned in autumn or
winter, the bark will dry around the
stump and heal there, but never over
the end; this exposed stump will rot
out in a few years, leaving ragged
hole where water can enter, and the
decay of the center of the whole tree
begins, shortening it's life many years.
If pruned in the spring, the wound
bleeds, the sap often running down
and killing the bark below, making a
black, unsightly wound, which never
heals over, and the whole tree is sub
ject to decay. "r".
If pruned in June, when the new bark
and wood is forming, the wound begins
to heal at once, and no matter what the
size of the branch cut may be, the
wound will heal before decay begins if
the tree is vigorous and in good condi-
ton.
Care should be taken to cut close to
the trunk or larger branch, so that the
wound may heal over the end, for if
cut two or three inches from the trunk
or main branch, nature forgets to carry
the necessary material to heal over the
wound, and again the water enters and
When from accident, the effect of snow
or ice, large bralch is broken, cut tenn
porarily, leaving a foot or more to be
cut again close to the trunk in the
month of June.
The reason farmers generally prune
in early spring is that they then have
time and little else to do and are anx-
ious to be at work, and thus have some
excuse; but if they could realize the
damage they are doing to their own
property, they might perhaps refrain
and put their labor to better account at
the !'roper season.-W. S. Ripley, in
