Here comes a Georgia Democrat no
less a man than Julius Brown. son of
Ge"rgia's famous war governor. who
proposes tina: the electors of the south
ern states vote for Roosevelt and thus
make his election unanimous He
makes this proposition because he be-
licvcs that the President has been UNI
justly attacked on the negro question
and i'm fact misunderstood by the South
generally. and believes that this will be
a good way to blot out past mistakes
and make a new beginning politically
He goes on to say: Now l honestly
believe. as Democrat that the best
thing for us. the South. to do is for
Judge Parker and the Democratic
executive committee to request the
southern electors to cast their votes for
President Roosevelt and make his
election unanimous. He is good
man. half southern. and we of the
South ought to be able to trust him"
1t is sensible advice but for that verv
reason the southern Democrats will
doubtless reject it.

Just as the closing days of the Pam
American exposition at Buffalo were
marked by the destruction Of the New
England building by fire. so now the
Missouri state building has been de-
stroyed in similar manner at ST.
Louis. The building cost $145.OOO and
its furnishings $4,000. This was the
handsomest and most completely
equipped of the state buildings at the
big exposition. and although the loss of
the building itself is not so important
since it would soon have been torn
burned with it many valuable portraits
and relics that can never be replaced.

A Grsat kita Exhibit.

A seasonable article in the April
Holiday Monthly Magazine de-
scribes the magnificent collection Of
Chinese kites in the New York Mu-
scum of Natural History. To the
average American boy who thinks
of kite as simple flat frame plain
ly covered with paper and with little
variation in shape such collection
is marvel. We find them both
grotesque and artistic, Of great va
riety of form and most ingeniously
made. In the exhibit there is a
dragon kite with ferocious head.
red, gaping mouth, protruding horns
and eyes that revolve like pin wheels.
1t is built like an accordion and
when stretched out is nearly forty
feet long. Kitefying in China Is
almost a national pastime, and back
of it all is whole system of super
stition. This kite exhibit is a single
example of what the museum is Do
ing for the education Of New York

FOR THE LITTLE oNEs.
Won derfui Designs Of sna~fikos
Shown Under . Miero.ce.,e.

Would you suppose as you w~tch
the snowflakes racing through The
mir that each flake is beautiful c.
sign and that not one of them Is Ike
another? What a great artist the
north wind must be to send us so
many different designs!
The centers of the snow crystals
are stars of six rays, six sided pieces
and circles. They take on more and
more water as they fly down to
earth and so assume all kinds of
wondrous shapes. Is it not lovely
to think of so much beauty Some
of the crystals have little wheels and
crosses. Others have little twigs
and branches, while more are feath-
cry. The prettiest of all are formed
like flowers-fowers in the snow.
Besides snow birds we have snow
flowers.
The forms Of the flakes are
changed by the wind and the mois-
ture near the clouds from which
they come. And would you ever
imagine that there are different col
ors in the snowflakes? All these
marvels are quite clear under mi
croscope, and many are they who
like to study them. They take pic
lures of the magnified crystals 20
that they may see their beauties
even after the snow is gone. One
gentleman, Wilson A. Bentley Of
Jericho, VT, has more than 1000
photomicrographs, as these pictures
are called. A great big word for
such tiny things, is it not?
How pleasant to think that be-
sides its white beauty and the sport
of coasting the snow has so many
hidden charms The truly beautiful
is in nature, you know, children,
always, and it never loses its charm.
