larceny in the second degree Sheehan

ST. LOUIS, June 15.--NeEer have
She acoustic properties Of mega

til the man who sings The HOLY
City into one IN falsetso voice,
submitted his musical Offering to the
Worlds Fair thrcngs who cannot
choose but hear. To be addressed
upon ordinary business affairs
through a megaphone is startling and
not altogether pleasant. There is an
insstence and certain familiarity
about speaking voice through a
rnegaphone that we resent. We did
not say eIouder.' We don't want to
be made to hear against our viii. But
1t is quite different in singing
through ,negaphone- Here we are
made to laugh against our will; and
when it comes to singing The Holy
City" in falsetto; we are all CON
WINGED that. we have encountered the
chief comedy feature OF the Fair.
There are. some very high notes in
Tile Holy City. II you remember

note our friend with the falsetto
scaling crag by crag that chromatic
scale you begin to tremble in fear
that he will never reach Jerusalem
But he does and scars far above It.

Paper Parasols In Vogue.

There is new color note at the
Fair more brilliant than any In the
gardens and eXcelling the glowing
hues of Pike architecture. It is the
outbreak of japanese paper parasols-.
They are peddled about the grounds
and are welcomed by squirting multi
tudes They are sold so cheapty that
if they are forgotten and left behind
the loss is small while at the end or
the visitors stay, if they are too
troubles ONE to carry home with him,
they can be thrown away. These
parasols are not umbrellas ram
would leave them a wreck of de-
nuded bamboo sticks. In the last
two or three days they have grown
more and more numerous until they
now begin to speckle every scene and
insert bright spots of color in every
vista. We are beholden to the Japan
ese for a great many utilities in pa
per, and although they now initiate
everything we make down to canned
sardines they do not neglect the de-
vices which were theirs before they
were discovered by the Americans.

Suoeestlons For searchiiahts.
Searchlights now send their pierre
ing rays like flaming swords in the
sky about the Fair at night. First
they bring the figure Of Peace on her
monument into brilliant white relief
and then give equal prominence TO
the young man seated with his girl
in the most secluded corner OF the.
p1aza. One moment you see in the
far perspective on the terrace party
dining at one of the restaurants, the
next white face peerlnE out OF the
window of an Intramural car. one
2heyer knows what a searchlight Is
going to pick up. 1t might be a pin;
at least a pin might be picked up&by
the aid of it's glare. There is one ell
feet which it may be possible to add
to the search1ight and that is color.

shouldn't searchlight be shot

Would it be as high as the Eiffel

ought to put variety into their gym

To think that a great many Deo-

but of what value is the fact, after

play through the damp and curling
locks on his forehead While gazing
away toward the City of Light that

from above, below, where he could
