The landscape Of the Worlds Fair

embraces hill and valley, plateau and
lowland. In the Cascade region alone
more than 100000 brilliantly colored
Towering and foliage plants are used
in the creation of the Rainbow Gar.
dens. More than 100000 plants are
used in identifying other sections Of
the grounds. All of the main avenues
are delightfully."- shaded with rows of
silver naples, and in several sections
there are great groups Of forest
trees that ever afford a delightful
shade.
The largest engine in the world is
an exhibit in the Palace Of Machinery.
This monster with power equal to
that Of 5000 horses, occupies a space
in the center Of the great structure,
and towers 35 feet in the air. 1t is
as large as an ordinary three-story
house. Altogether the engines devel
op a power of $4,000 horses. At the
Chicago exposition ten years ago,
which more nearly than any other
similar enterprise approaches the

Never was the United States gov
eminent so deeply interested in an ex-
position as it is in this 1904 Worlds
Fair. Already the governments in
vestment has reached the $11,0O0,000
mark, and this does not include the
Philippine expenditures, which were
paid out Of the insular treasury. The
result is the greatest exhibit ever
made by Uncle Sam.
One Of the interesting government
exhibits is the great map of the
United States, worked out in growing
crops, each state being represented
by crops chiefly grown in that state.
This map covers six acres Of ground.
One who has not seen the map may
have an idea of it's immense size
when he Is told that Illinois on this
crop map is rs feet long. The bound
airy lines between the states are
gravel walks and the Worlds Fair
visitors stroll at will through the
states, and receive simultaneously a
lesson in geography and agriculture.
The largest timepiece in the world
is at the Worlds Fair, and may be
seen on slope on the north side of
Agriculture Hill. The dial of this
great clock is 112 feet in diameter.
The frame work is steel, of course,
but it is so covered with flowers that
it appears to have been built entirely
of flowers, and for that reason it is
popularity known as the floral clock"
Germany's participation in this
Worlds Fair surpasses anything that
that great nation has ever done at any
other international exposition. The

looking the Cascades, is a faithful

Women Who "Push" Goods.

The advertisement was unblushing-
ly inserted in a London newspaper a
few weeks ago: "A lady moving in
good society is required at once to
wear and to make fashionable very
beautiful, dainty article of jewelry;
liberal remuneration; strict secrecy"
Often a delicate suggestion will be
made at fashionable shops that in re-
turn for a tactful recommendation the
firm would be only too delighted to
supply dresses, hats or shoes, as the
case may be, gratis, or even paying a
commission upon new orders OBJ
tanned. This system of female tout
ing is done in London to an almost
incredible extent, women acting as
secret agents for wine merchants,
soap manufacturers and even as touts
for money lenders.

LONGEST Direct Wire.

The New York Central system will
soon own the longest private tele'
phone direct wire in the world. This
will be No. copper wire, and
will run along the tracks of the Cen.
trail all the way to Chicago. 1t will
touch every important city on the
lines of the system, and will there
fore extend a distance exceeding 1000
miles. West OF Buffalo the wire will
follow the tracks of the Lake Shore
railroad, and east of that city it will
run along the New York Central
tracks, coming into Weehawken along
the West Shore line. The wire will
cross the river, and will end in the
Grand Central Station. The purpose
of the wire is to enable the officials
of the eastern and western lines OF
the Vanderbilt system to communi
cate with each other without the de
Icy occasioned by the use of the reg
ular long-distance wire. Quick con.
nection between western and eastern
points is of the greatest Importance
for many affairs Of railroading on q
large scale.

USEFUL TO LIGHT SLEEPERs.
Clock Enables Them to Tell Time In
the Dark.


the Dark.
While entertaining some friends In
his apartments the other day, a we'll
known man about town pointed to a
beautiful electric clock on his bed
room mantel.
"See that?" he said. "That clock
is the latest invention. can hypno-
tise it so that it will ring the hour
any time, day or night"
AS he spoke he sat unconcernedy
on the edge or his bed.
Nov, watch it," he said.
The hands marked 9:20. Suddenly
something inside the clock began to
ring off sounds that appeared to be
musical dots and dashes. First there
were four sets of five rings, and then
nine solemn rings in a deeper tone
which, being interpreted, meant 9:2O
o'clock. The guests were much mys-
titled, but their host explained that he
was surreptitiously pressing an cleo
trio button attached to the bedpost.
The new kind of clock is an ex-
pensive ornament, and it is specially
designed for people who are in the
habit of waking up in the midnight
hours. When they wake and wonder
what time it is, all they have to do
is to touch the button. Then the
hour is rung off, and they can fall
asleep again without having had the
trouble of striking a light to satisfy
their curiosity.-New York Times.

The young gunnery officer of H. NJ

warship of any kind she had ever
visited, and her mind was full of the
wonderful sights presented.
Being an industrious and a thor

She examined the long, deadly, CT

City Chemist Kirchmaier and Coro-

w. S. RAIDER, who died suddenly, and
whose death was attributed to cigar
cites and dancing, was poisoned by
nitrobenzole, an ingredient of shoe
polish that RAIDER had used. This
chemical is very deadly, and of forty
eight cases of such poisoning recorded
there has been but one recovery. The
coroner's attention was attracted by
the odor of the shoes and the black
ened flesh around the young mans
ankles.-From the Chicago Record
