Of engines ever assembled. But these
are not all. Think of ten acres of
glistening machines of every kind and
you have some idea of the contents of
the Palace of Machinery.
We cross the lagoon to the east
ward and come to the beautiful Palace
of Electricity, with eight acres of eX-
hibits from many countries, which
show the marvellous development of
electrical science. To the north again
over n of the arched bridges we ap-
prOach the Palace of Varied Indus
tries, viewing it's wonderful grace and
splendor as we go. Here are fourteen
acres of exhibits from all over the
world. The Palace of Manufactures
is the same size and stands on the op-
posite side of the Plaza of st. Louis.
1t is equally interesting in the variety
and newness of its contents.
Opposite the Palace of Manufactures
to the southwark is the Palace of Edu-
cation, this being the first time that
education has been allotted a great
building all its own. A variety of
schools in daily session are the feature
of this eight acre display. The two

ported was in Indian Territory, the

thirteen, with sixteen seriously in

Arkansas added the other two to the
death roll. Heavy rains followed the

In many places houses were swept
away. Thousands of acres of farm
lands, especially in the bottoms, are
under water and much damage has
been done to wheat and other growing
crops.
Seven persons met instant death and
ten others were seriously injured in the

Purifying MIX by Ozone.

An apparatus in use in Germany for
the publication of milk by o~ZOnization
is so constructed that the milk con-
tanned in a vessel flows thence in a
thin stream into another vessel placed
beneath. The wires and carbon points
of a strong electric battery are so ar
ranged that the arc formed by the
jumping Of the current from one car
bon point to the other passes through
or in close proximity to the stream of
milk. The ozone which is thereby en-
gendered from the oxygen of the air
is said to be sufficient to kill all micro
organisms contained in the milk.
While nc reference has been made to
the use of this apparatus for the puri-
ication of water, there seems to be no
reason why ozone could not be applied
to this end, unless it be the difference
in cost between the milk and water,
the price obtainable for the latter pos
sibly not permitting the use of this
purifying agent.

How to Keen House.

With all the luxuries and pleasures of
this life, its big enjoyments and its smaller
comforts, there is an offset or antithesis
which we have to contend with in the
form of aches and pains. In some way and
by som means every one has a touch of
them in some form at some time. Trifing
as some of them may be, the risk is that
they will grow to something greater and
rack the system with constant torture.
There is nothing, therefore, of this kind
that we have a right to trihe with. Taken
IN time, the worst forms of pains and
aches are easily subdued and cured
by the free use of st. Jacobs Oil.
No well regulated household ought to be
without a bottle of this great remedy for
pain. 1t is the specific virtue of penetra-
ton in st. Jacobs Oil that carries it
right to the pain spot and effects a prompt
cure even in the most painful cases of
rheumatism, Neuralgia, Lumbago, Sciatica.
You want it also in the house at all times
for hurts, cuts and wounds, and the house
that always has it keeps up a sort of in
surance against pain.

where the c%irculatory, respiratory,

One great benefit of change Of air
is that the great law of contrast en-

b%enefcent work. The various organs
of the body are very really rested by
slight changes in diet, cooking, water,
new surroundings, people and amuse-

round of duties tries them as it tries
us, and change Of work is actual re-

If specific ailments have manifested
themselves, then the seashore for a

calculated to ward off what would
otherwise spell serious illness.

Louisiana Purchase Exposition at st.

ever was brought together in ten times
the space before. 1t is a great collec-

1t is nearly twice as large as the
Columbian Exposition at Chicago,
nearly ten times larger than the Pan
American Exposition at Buffalo.
Every exhibit palace offers the equiv
alent of q splendid exposition, each
covering many acres of space.
The largest of these is the Palace Of
Agriculture, With Its twenty-three acres
under roof, and filled to the doors with
the most wonderful agricultural col
lection v assembled upon any occa-

tons of the world are all here along
side great numbers of individual eX-
hibitors. Five great staples have been
chosen for extraordinary display.
Corn, cotton, sugar, rice and tobacco
are here arrayed as they have never
been before, and unGreamed possibili-
ties are revealed to inquiring minds.

Sir Henry Rawson was welcomed as
Governor of New South Wales with

greeted him in a novel and interesting
way. There were no guns big enough
to salute him with, SO an e%nterprising
loyalist hit on the happy idea of util-
izing kerosene tins. With the assist
ance of plugs of dynamite and a fuse
the salute was duly given, resulting in
a round dozen of loud bangs, the same
