at the grounds last week, and find that
there is yet a great incompleteness of
detail, which interferes to a consider
able extent in ones enjoyment of the
many magnificent sights. Nearly all
of the larger buildings are completed,
but inside i'm good many cases booths
are not finished and many of the ex-
hibits are not yet in place. These
things, as you will readily see, detract
materially from the effect as the visitor
wanderS around in the vast structures.
1t Will take at least six weeks more
to get the fair in prime condition, and
1T will be a still longer time before
everything can be seen at it's best.
The magnitude and management of
the great exposition are beyond COM
parison. and columns Of type cannot
convey an adequate idea of all there
is to be seen here. The accommoda-
tions for serving the public are most
convenient, and as far as l can learn
there is no disposition to rob the pub
lie by exorbitant charges. Our own
state building is not yet fully COM
pleted, and it will be some time before
it will be ready to open to the public.
Although not as large or as magnificent
as some of the other state buildings.
the Maine building certainly attracts
as much attention as the others. I
would not advise Maine people to at
tend the fair for some weeks yet, If
they would get the best impressions
and see everything in it's completeness.

The Bath Times after a review of a

lows: 1T was one of the several at

considering a proposition of circulat-

The duties to attend the first perform

(JOHeSpOrt EntcTpIIse.)
We publish Mr.. owens letter and Mr..
Cohb's reply which clearly show, as the
Times said two weeks ago. that VIM. Z;
Cobb is Il safe man to place at the head
of State affairs: that he is man whose
administratio will do credit to him and
inee of the Republican State convention
there is no question. Already delegates
enough have beeen instructed for him to
make this result practically certain.
The Outlook.

AS nearly as we have been able to keep
track of the delegates thus far elected to
the Bangor convention. they number; all
told. at the present time. ISL. of whom
1l5 are for Cobb. Most of the tables which
are being published are extremely unsat-
isfactory, entirely at variance with the
authentic reports of the town and city
conventions. OF the Il delegates which
we do not place In the Cobb column. we
are acquainted with the preference Of
nearly half and there are without doubt
many Cobb men among them. 1t looks

A young woman Of great. perhaps
100 great, sensibility begged to be ex-
eused from visiting IN aunt who lived
In an old fashioned house where pic
lures Of n certain period were In evil
dence. "There is an engraving of a
blacksmith'a shop In the dining room!
said she hysteric,t;.J. You can't ex-
pect me to eat my dinner there. l
smell the hoofs."
A similar criticism came from one
who suffered not from overrefnement,
but from something quite different.
She was a woman Of recently acquired
wealth who, says the New York Trib-
une, went into an art gallery and ask
ed for a painting Of certain size.
II have just what you want" said
the dealer.
He showed her a beautiful animal
painting, but she looked mt 1t for a
few minutes and then shook her head.
1T won't do" she said. II want this
picture for my drawing ROOM"
"But it's beautiful thing" ventured
the dealer.
"Not for drawing room," announc-
ed the woman cOnclusively. You
couldn't have "A COW In drawing

Clothes and Heat.

When we speak Of warm or cool
clothing we use as absolute a metaphor
as when we talk of the sun going down
or the rosy fingered dawn" Clothes
can communicate neither heat nor cold
to the body. Fur Is not warm nor lin
en- cool, except as they serve as con-
ductors for the heat generated by the
body itself. Fur and wool are excel
lent noncOnductors Of heat-that Is,
they do not allow the heat Of the body
to escape so easily as some other mate
rials-and the reason why fur Is one
Of the poorest conductors of heat Is
not, as might be supposed, so much be-
cause of its thickness and weight as
because Of the air which is mingled
with or confined between Its dbers,
confined air being one of the most ef-
fectual nonconductors Of heat known.

Color Sensations.

The three primary color sensations
are considered to be red, green and VIC
let. Certain mixtures Of violet and
green produce blue. Red and green
also give yellow, but 1t Is i'm
portant to observe that these are pri
mary color sensations and not primary
colors, though the expression lights OF
primary colors" is admissible, for 1t Is
commonly imagined that the blue and
yellow mixed in certain proportions
produce various kinds Of green. II
yellow and blue pigments be mixed to-
gether with water. the green color
produced is not mixture Of blue and
yellow cOlors. 1t Is the one color which
is not freely absorbed either by the
yellow or by the blue pigment. The
yellow pigment removes the greater
part Of the blue, indigo and violet rays;
the blue pigment removes the greater
part Of the red. orange and yellow
Thus the light that finally escapes Is
mainly green.-Longman's Magazine.
