THE WORLDS WONDERS ON DISPLAY
For the Opening Of the Worlds Fair on Saturday,
April 3Oth Next. ~ ~ ~ II ~

physical culture exhibits is situated in
the western part of the grounds, ana
adjacent to it Is the fine large ath-
letic field, with amphitheatrc seating
twenty seven thousand people. Upon
this field the games will take place dur.
ing the summer.
In this hurried glance at the EXPOSE
ton of 1904, we must not forget that
very interesting quarter, known as the
Pike. This is the amusement street
of the Exposition. The visitor Will
certainly open his eyes in amazement
when he sees the array of amusements
spread out for his delectatiOn. 1t is
a long story in itself, to tell what has
been prepared for his entertainment
The Pike is considerably more han
mile long. and upon either side are ar
ranged about fifty elaborate and ex'
tremely novel shows. Some Of them
cover as many as ten or eleven acres
each.
The Worlds Fair will open on Sat
urday. April 80, with fitting ceremon
les. Upon that occasion an anthem
written by Edmund Clarence StedmaD
will be sung by chorus of six hun
dred voices. The music-by the en-
inent composer, Professor John x.
Paine, of Harvard University-as well
as the poem, was written especially
for this occasion upon the invitation
of the Exposition. Frank Wander

palaces. Near by are the Government
Fisheries building and sea coast de-
Tense guns.
The Palace Of Agriculture is the
largest of the Exposition buildings
and stands in the central western
part Of the grounds, upon a high ele-
walton. This building covers twenty
acres of ground, the equivalent or Il
small farm, and contains many thou
sands of exhibits. not only from the
States of the United States but from
countries of the world. The Palace
Of Horticulture stands directly south
of the Palace Of Agriculture and is
400 by 800 feet.
The Palace of Art, composed of four
large paviliOns, is one of the most in
teresting parts of the Fair. The several
buildings contain a total Of 135 gal
leries, filled with the priceless treas
ures of Europe and America, gathered
with great care by discriminating
committees. AS an example OF the care
with which these selections were
made, Italy may be taken as an ex-
ample. Some four thousand paintings
were offered, yet only four hundred
could be selected. One of the four
buildings of the Palace Of Art is de-
voted entirely to statuary.
The Palace of Forestry, Fish and
Game is in the western part Of the
grounds, covering four acres. The

A Question Of Anesthetics.

Stuart Knott, president Of the Kan
sas City Southern railway, was enter
tanning in his private car Mr.. Col
ms, a wealthy Galveston broker
whose brains and money he hoped to
interest in the development of the
territory contiguous to Port Arthur,
the southern terminus of the road.
The weather was stickily hot. The
air was tainted with the fumes of oil.
and the broker was kept busy beating
off mosquitoes and making polite ex.
pressions of appreciation. Mr.. Knott,
after fully extolling Port Arthur's nat
ural advantages as port, rice, oil,
cotton and lumber center, said:
Now, Mr.. Collins, what would you
take to locate here?"
THAT. sir, is an open question: re-
piled Mr.. Collins, slapping at herd
of gallinippers. I'm not sure wheth'
er I'd take cocaine or morphine. -

MUSIC AND ANIMALS.
The Puma is the Most Sensitive to the
Influence of Melody.

The Puma Is the Most Sensitive to the
Influence of Melody.
Some very curious experiments have
recently been carried out in the Ger
man Geological Gardens in order to
ascertain the actual influence of music
upon animals. The instrument was
the violin and Herr Baker was the per-
former.
OF all the animals the puma was the
most sensitive to the musical inhu
ence. His moods changed rapidly, ac-
cording to the nature of the melody,
the animal frequently becoming very
excited and nervous. ''just like a
Frenchman." as the report says.
Leopards were entirely unconcerned,
but the lions appeared to be afraid al
though their cubs wanted to dance
when the usic became liyelier. The
hyenas were very much terrified. but
the monkeys were merely curious and
the monkeys were merly curious.
The experiments are to be continued,
and with a variety of instruments, in
order to distinguish between the men,
tai states which are actually produced
by the music and those which are
merely the result of an unusual ex-
perience.-Scientific american.

Longest Road In the World.

In 1901 the great Siberian Railway
was thrown open to the public. There
was then in operation total of 1444
miles in Manchuria and 1868 miles in
Siberia, a continuous Russian line from
Moscow to Port Arthur of 5429 miles;
and the new trains de luxe, which will
begin running this summer, will give
virtually through service from Paris
to Port Arthur, a distance of 1893
miles, 5000 miles Of which is over

His PRAYER,

Chaplain Hale no longer asks Sena-
tors to Join with him in repeating tie
Lords prayer at the morning 6cvo'
lions. This arises from the fact that
when he did make the request there
was no response. This circumstance
was the basis of a report. printed in
some newspapers, that none of the
senators knew the prayer. The report
in turn became the source Of no little
anxiety to DR.. Hale.
Can 1t be possible that such de
plorabie condition Of affairs exists?
he asked more than one senator, and
he was apparently much relieved by
the assurance given him that the
newspaper report was without founda
ton.

said Senator Tillman when he heard
the story. 81 fear they'd all be like
two fellows they tell about down in
South Carolina. They were in peril
of losing their lives BY drowning

should pray, Notwithstanding his com
panion demonstrated that he did not

needs more employers, and any
Legislation having tendency to in
crease the number of institutions
employing workmen is beneficial
Legislation. It is much better for
the country and the people of the
country that thousand wage
workers have their wages increased
a hundred dollars year than it is
that a single institution clear a
hundred thousand dollars. Greater
prosperity is not SO much to be
desired as greater diversity of the
prosperity that we already possess.
Multiplicity of institutions is the
surest preventative of strikes and
lockouts. If there had been
hundred independent packing estab-
lishments in the United States, in
stead of one gigantic trust, the
present great meat strike with all
the baneful results already incurred
and all that will follow would have
never taken place. Whenever
tariff tends to lessen the number of
buyers, sellers, those who desire
help or to diminish the number of
independent institutions, and in
many cases our present tariff laws
do this, it should be remodeled
until it ceases to perform functions
that it was never intended it should
perform.
Competition is the great natural
regulator of business transactions,
and any legislation of any kind
or character that tends to eliminate
the element of competition out of
the business world is detrimental to
the best interests of the republic.
Extortion and competition cannot
exist side by side in the same
country or locality. Domestic or
local competition is preferable to
foreign but if this is shut off it is
better to have foreign competition
than none at all and any tariff that
aids in making this domestic or
local competition impossible and at
the same time shuts off foreign
competition, is not a protective but
an oppressive tariff.

The Road,

This common road, with hedges high
Confined on either hand,
Will surely enter by-and-by
Some large luxuriant land.
The many wayfarers on foot
Have toiled from stage to stage
And others roll along the route
With easy equipage.
All seek, methinks, that wide domain
Wherein my thoughts are set,
Press onward! Leave the dusty plain!
Hasten! IT'S farther yet!
And in the end shall great repose
Descend upon my soul,
When. at the eager journeys close,
reach the sudden goal.
Content. enlargement. fragrance, ease,
Joy in the evenings cool.

The CLEAN upon the pool
Dreamer! In vain thou hastenest;
That glorious land resign;
Take by the road thy joy. thy rest;
The road. the road is thine.
