Amusing Error of Frenchman Tha,
Cost Him SIS,


Cost Him IS.
A French visitor to New York, an
enthusiastic automobilist. has learned
a lesson as to how things are done
in America On several occasions
when speeding a machine through
Central park he has seen policemen
hold up a hand The result was an
increase of speed and a wave of the
hand in return. The police have been
in the hopes of catching him, and
finally one of them did so by placing
his horse in the autos track, COMPEL
ing 1t to come to a standstill. In court
the Frenchman was amazed at the

and congratulations and turned on
more power to show them what he
could do The lesson cost him SIS.

ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION WILL BE
GREATEST EVER HELD ON EARTH
Is from
Fortyto OF
More Than Twenty Buildings

It is now a little more than two
months before the gates will open
upon the Worlds Fair at st. Louis and
the public will be invited to see the
greatest exposition that has ever been
created. The vast exhibit palaces are
complete and many of them have been
finished for several months. Within
the next two months all of them are
to be frightened with new coats of
paint so that, on the opening day, the
magnificent array of palaces will ap-
pear as fresh as a newly blossomed
rose.
No one, no matter how vivid his i'm
agination, can picture to himself the
scene that will be presented when the
Exposition is complete. The more one
sees this great collection of exhibit
palaces and countless other buildings,
the more deeply impressed he be-
comes with the grandeur of the under
taking. AS the days grow longer and
the air becomes balmy with the
breezes of spring, the Exposition will
take on far greater activity than it
has seen during the boisterous days
of winter. In spite of the severe
weather, work has not ceased upon the
construction of the Worlds Fair for
more than day or two at time and
there is every expectation and prom
ise that it will be complete on the
opening day.
The buildings and grounds, magnif-

been 10th to believe such a statement
aces of the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position average much larger than
those of Chicago and are greater in
number. About $50 acres of floor
space are provided in the various pal
aces of the present Worlds Fair and
more than twenty buildings will be
used for exhibit purposes. The larg-
est of these is the Palace of Agricul-
ture, which covers twenty acres. The
next in size is the Palace of Transpor-
tation. covering fifteen acres and con-
tanning four miles of railway tracks
for the exhibit of locomotives and
cars. At the Chicago EXPOSITION
there were practically no outdoor ex-
hibits. At this Worlds Fair about 100
acres are given up to outdoor displays,
supplementing in a most pleasing
manner the hundreds of thousands of
indoor exhibits. At the Chicago Ex-
position one building was used for
no less than three important depart
ments. At the Worlds Fair in ST.
Louis four buildings, covering forty
five acres, are given up to the same
four departments.
The total cost of the Worlds Fair
is estimated at from forty to fifty
million dollars, exclusive of the value
of the exhibits. The Palace of Ma
chinery alone will contain exhibits to
the value of eight million dollars.

Brain Growth.

Brain development is found by Prof.
Seggel of Munich to have two periods
of acceleration-from 10 to IL and
from II to Is in girls, and from IL to
Is and 10 to 20 in boys. At the period
of most rapid increase in height-from
IL to IA years-the growth of the
brain is less than one-hundredth that
of the body, but at II to 10 it grows
one-thirtieth as fast. and at 20 reaches
one-seventh of the body growth.

Mark Pictures with Thumbs.

In order to protect themselves from
forgeries of their pictures, some Brit
ish painters have taken a leaf from
the scientists. and in addition to their
signatures impress the mark of their
thumbs on the wet oils or water col
ors in one corner of the picture The
idea of Identifying people by the i'm
pressions of their finger tips was in
troduced by Sir Francis Cation and
has been practiced of late for the de.

SIDEWALKS HAVE
 COME TO LIGHT.

The sidewalks which were reported in the Democrat of Wednesday to have disappeared from Leavenworth street were found yesterday by city la- borers where they were last seen, be- tween the Friendly league building and Kendrick avenue and the court house and Center street. The discovery was not made without some difficulty. A staff of men was sent to unearth the crosswalks and bring them once more to the light of day, which they had not seen, that is providing they could see
 for some weary days, during which the lawyers who had business in the court house invented some awful cuss words. Attorney Gillette has applied for q copyright for his. 1t was late yester- day afternoon when the cross walks were brought to light, and when the court house attaches heard of the dis covery they applauded the laborers from the portico It is hoped the walks will not have to be re-discovered again the rest of the winter, as they are quite valuable in their humble way.

SERIOUSLY INJURED.
Walter N. Lowell Run Down by Coast-
 CTS Last Ni&ht.


 Walter N. Lowell of Johnson street, superintendent of the Waterbury Brass Go, met with serious injury on South Main street last night MT Lowell and his wife were at City Cor ners waiting for a trolley car when a double ripper came tearing down Baldwin Hill and crashed into them. MT Lowell was knocked down and carried some distance along the road. When picked up he was unconscious and for time it was hard to tell whether he was alive or not. Dr Pomeroy was called and found that the injured man was suffering from q fractured right arm, & badly bruised head and face, lacerated hands and legs and several contu- sions of the body. It was very se- rious accident and came very near costing MT Lowell his life. This and other mix-ups that have occurred on the public streets during the past few weeks may tend to make the au- thorities 8 little more careful about allowing such exercises on the public ways.
 Coasting is all right in it's own place, but many good citizens believe that the business is fast becoming g. menace to life and limb in Water bury and that 1t would be well to do away with the use of the streets for such purposes.
