PALACE FROM rns ANCIENT PAST.
One Of the Oldest Structures In the
World Re-Ereeted ~ the
Worlds Fair.

The Palace Of Damascus, an edi-
fice so old that It's builder, its occu-
pants, and its history are lost in the
odscurity of the past, is being re-
erected at the Worlds Fair. The
structure which was brought in sec
tons from Syria, will stand on the
north terrlce in front OF the Admin
istration tdilding. symetrically with
Italy's pavilion.
A portion OF this famous building
was exhibited at the Chicago Expo
sition, and another part was on ex-
hibition ., the Antwerp Exposition
in 1877. But at the Worlds Fair
the who'll of the building, which
time has eft standing, will be seen
for the Fl st time. All the woodwork
OF the ps.ace is of the hardest wood
in the world, so hard that It has
lasted as long as stone. The palace
itself has long been a subject for
conjecture and controversy among
Archeologists for years. The part
that still remains is forty feet long
by sixteen feet wide. The central
roof is twenty five feet, and the roof
OF the wings sixteen feet in height.
The palace will contain a rare and
beautiful collection of Greek and
oriental art work. 1t includes
Greek, Russian, and Byzantine
paintings, so old that in many cases
the very names of the painters are
forgotten, and in colors whose blend
ing permanency has become in a
great measure a lost art. Among a
collection of rare Persian and Syrian
rugs is one taken from the Alham-
bra.
The palace is being erected by
Mordecal Benguiat, of San Fran
cisco, Cal, and the treasures which
It will contain are the property OF
his father, H. e. Beneuiat.

sEEDLEss APPLES ON
BLOSSOMLRSS TREES
HorticuIiurists are Interested in
Unique Exhibit from Colorado az the
Worlds FAIR.

Sharing honors with the wireless
telegraph, smokeless coal and mi
crobeless water at the Worlds Fair
is an exhibit of seedless apples.
California contributed some seed
less oranges and Florida seedless
pears, but it remained for Colorado
to produce the apple without core.
Not only has this fruit an absence
Of seed, but the tree upon which it is
grown is bIossomless. Mr.. John f.
Spencer of Grand Junction is father
OF the species and he says that the
seediess apple is also immune from
the ravages of insects.
Horticultirists who visit the
Worlds Fair are greatly interested
in the exhibit, as the culture of the
fruit is regarded as an important
discovery, Mr.. Spencer is now
experimenting with tn c various
varieties of apples and he believes
that he can develop a seedless Wine
sap, seedless Gano and other
favoritc species II he is successful
it IS likely that other fruit growers
will follow bis example.
Il is claimed that the seedless
apple is not hurt by the frost because
it has no blossoms It is a hardy
grower and thrives abundanily in
the Colorda climate. These advau-
tages in its behalf recommend it to
all orchardis,s. The Spencer dis.
play is made in the Colorado ex-
hibit in the Palace Of Horticulture.
Several bushels OF the fruit are in
cold storage and the supply is con
stantly kept fresh.

That fuel oil-crude petroleum.

coal and that with light disullation
its combustion is less wearing on
boilers ere two of the conclusions
reached by the naval board which
for two years had experimental with

Because more oil is produced
than by any other sea power and
that this oil is found nearer the
great maritime distributing ports,
IFS cheaper development for all
purposes can be utilized best in
America. The keynote of Ameri-
can military strength on the Pacific
may be due to the fact that the i'm.

might be stored in the Hawaiian
