wheat enough offered to satisfy the de-
mand from shorts until the price had been
put up from sc to $1O045 bushel.
There was probably a total of 5OO.UO
bushels Of wheat that had to be bought
under penalty around the dollar mark.
\ prominent Eastern grain dealer is
said to have had quantity OF wheat
bought for July delivery and the COM
mission houses through which he had
purchased had received instructions to
demand the wheat.
Much of the scramble for the cash grain
was attributed to his purchases: 25O,Uu1
bushels of wheat delivered after the SEES
sion. yesterday, did not begin to I'LL all
of the sales for July delivery. and it Is
said that there was default of about
l 600 900 bushels all told which will have

Some weeks ago it was stated in the
Journal that while the discovery by the
American Thread Co.. of process of
making spools from wood pulp might
effect the birch industry in this State.
there was no question but what some
new demand for birch would spring up
which would offset the decrease in the
demand from this reason. Now. while
as vet the pulp spool has in no way
touched the birch business in Maine.
n new birch business is here. A car
riaee manufacturing concern in Grand
Rapids Mich. is erecting a mill near
Sebois lake. on the line of the Bangor
e Aroostook Railroad. for the purpose
of getting out birch to be shipped to
the factory in Michigan for use In

$4,000 and give employment to about
100 men.

An EnS3ish Wor Vessel Win.
O Strange BATTLE In
Mediterranean.

For the second time in the history
Of the English navy there has been
battle between battleship and
whale, with the whale getting the
worst Of 1t. In the present instance
the whale was impaled on the ram Of
the big steel ship and carried for miles
before the engines were reversed and
the leviathan dropped off.
1t was while her majesty's ship d.
ana was between Malta and Gibraltar
that the officer on watch noticed big
whale directly in the path of the ship.
The creature was about sixty feet long
and was sporting in the water just op-
posite the bows Of the ship.
Suddenly the whale turned and start
ed head first for the ship. but just be-
fore reaching the vessel turned to dart
aside. At this moment the steel ram
Of the Diana pierced the side Of the
big mammal. The shock Of the impact
was trifing-so trifling, in fact, that it
could not be felt by those on board.
After carrying the whale for couple
Of miles the engines were stopped, re-
versed and the dead creature dropped
into the sea.
The only previous instance of this
character that is known to naval his
tory was when her majesty's ship I'm
mortalite ran,tnto whale off the coas
of Portugal AnA69O. /.

ALL THE STATES AT
THE WORLDS FAIR.
Many Beautiful Pavilions and Preten-
tious Buildings Show Forth the
Enterprise of American
Commonwealth.

A beautiful city has grown up among
the trees on the Worlds Fair grounds
at St. Louis. 1t has nothing to do with
the immense exhibit palaces, but is u
thing apart. The houses in this new
city are Of various styles Of architec-
ture. Some are palaual in size and APP
pearance, while others look merely cozy
and inviting. Never before have SO
many notable and historic buildings
been constructed in one group. This
new city might be called the City Of
the States, for the houses included in it
are the state buildings at the Fair.
The city is not compact. but some
what struggling. as BELTS the pictur-
sequences Of the view. Yet there Is
nothing suggestive Of Stringtown-
on-the-Pike about this city. for the
grounds surrounding each Of the houses
are beautified with gardens typical Of
the state represented.
All the states are to be represented
at the Worlds Fair. This means a
great deal, shining triumph for the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition. and
furnishes another illustration Of the
fact that this Exposition's complete
ness Is the marvel Of the age.
Fifty-one states, territories and pos
sessions Of the United States have
taken the steps necessary to partici-
pate In the Worlds Fair on an impor-
tant scale. But two states were still
outside the fold at the last report, and
in each of these was a we'll defined
movement in favor Of being represent
ed at the Fair with buildings and ex-
hibits. New Hampshire, the old home
state, and Delaware are the states re-
ferred to. In New Hampshire a fund
for participation is being raised pri-
vately by patriotic citizens, so that in
the event of legislative inaction this
commonwealth may be represented
The states and territories are ex-
pending over 100000 in their efforts
to show off to best advantage at the
Exposition. This is q million and a

third more than was expended at the
Chicago exposition by the states. In
addition to this. large cities in many
states will have municipal exhibits. the
funds for which are not included in
these figures The municipal exhibit
idea is entirely novel, From a number
of the states there will be prominent
county exhibits provided by special ap-
preparation Of county funds.
This City Of the States presents
picture Of surprising beauty. Nature
has done much to aid In the creation
Of the picture. Never before has any
exposition been able to grant such ad-
vantageous sites for state buildings.
The buildings are situated on a plateau
about seventy feet higher than the
level ground to the north upon which
stand the main exhibit palaces. There
are hills and ravines here and there,
enabling the landscapists to lay out
most delightful pattern of roads and
terraces and lawns.
The smallest Of the state buildings is
that of Arizona, which stands near the
southeastern entrance to the grounds
One Of the largest Is that of Missouri,
from the dome Of which 1t is said that
perhaps the very finest view of the
Exposition may be enjoyed. This
building is palace in the Italian re-
Nuisance architecture, built at cost
of $1O5,OOO. Near by is the reproduc-
