been 10th to believe such a statement.
But such is the fact. The exhibit pal
aces of the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position average much larger than
those of Chicago and are greater in
number. About 100 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 AgricIl-
ture, which covers twenty acres. The
next in size is the Palace of Transpor-
tation, covering fifteen acres and con-
tanning four milc7 Of railway tracks
for thu 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 most pleasing
manner the hundreds of thousands of
indoor exhibits. At the Chicago Elk
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.

Robbie Identified Nero.

The other day a teacher asked her
pupils if any of them knew who Nero
was. The only response came from a
little fellow, who held up his hand.
"Well, Robbie" said the teacher, do
you know who Nero was?" Yes,
ma'am," he answered, proudly; hes
the one we sing about in Sunday
school," The teacher could not recall
any particular religious music devoted
to Nero. What is the song, Robbie?"

at the eel grass required for the sea
cows food, sometimes through ice ten
inches in thickness and often through
ice of five or six inches.
Sometimes when the ice had moved
out with a shift of the wind, leaving
open spaces, access to the eel grass
would be easy, but frequently the ice
would have closed in, and then 1t
would be necessary to cut holes in 1t
to get at the eel grass below.
So the work Of supplying the sea

How the starfsh Feeds.

A starfish can neither see nor hear.
Neither has IT the sense of smell. In
spite Of those seeming impediments.
nevertheless, IL seeks and devours its
prey as neatly as an ordinary FISH. The
starfish lies upon its prey and folds
its arms" OF rays completely about
It. Then IL pushes its stomach out
through its mouth and will wrap even
a large oyster and shell within the
folds OF the stomach. The mouth OF
the starfish is IN the center of its
rays.

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
13 and 10 to 20 in boys. At the period
of most rapid increase in height-from
- to IA years-the growth of the
brain is less than one-hundredth that
of the body, but at II to 10 1t grows
one-thirtieth as fast. and at 90 reaches
one-seventh Of the body growth.

crTY's INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS.
Growth of Its Exports shown by
Frank c. Battey.

FRANK L. Batteys
Mr.. Frank C. Battey chairman of
the Transportation Committee, told of
Savannah's commercial and industrial
progress in the last few years. He
said that in investigating this subject
he had been filled with pride and as
constituent as it had shown that the
town has quietly but rapidly, increased
in it's material resources. and produc-
tive ability. beyond common belief.
In 1890 the census report showed Sa-
vdnnah as the fourth city in Georgia
in it's manufacturing industries, be-
ing exceeded in Importance in this
line by Atlanta, Augusta and Macon,
in the order named. The report show
ed that Savannah had thirty-one CLASH
fled industries, and some others not
classified, in all 1873 concerns In 1903
there were forty-three classified in
dustries, and 44O concerns interested
in them. In 1890 the 1873 concerns en-
ployed only 2,720 hands, whereas only
foTty-nine of the principal manufactur-
ing concerns now employ Also hands.
AS to the increase of commerce at
home and abroad, so far as whole
sale and retail stores have been con-
cerned, no statistics are available, but
there is reason to believe it has kept
pace with the increase among other
lines. Savannah has more than held
its own in cotton receipts as compared
with other ports, and enjoys being the
third city in the United States in the
value per capita of it's foreign COM
merce. The percentage of increase in
this trade in the last twenty years has
not been nearly equally by any of
the following cities; Baltimore, Bos-
ton, Charleston, New Orleans New
York, Philadelphia and San Francisco.
H. To- &c
ed in any of these cities during that
period being So per cent, whereas Sa-
vannah's increase has been 1876 per
cent.
Savannah has never had bank fail
ure. The clearings of the banks in
1903 were $195, 900 ,OOO the largest by
S50,000,000 of any city in Georgia. The
increase in the clearings last year.
as compared with those of 1895, was
over $4,000, 000
Before closing with a splendid tribute
to the work done by the Chamber of
Commerce, and an admonition to keep
1t up, Mr.. Battey said: Show me
the man who was born here, or has
taken up his abode here, who will not
declare, as does frequently our dis
tinguished president, rthat Savannah is
the greatest town on earth. No, don't
snow him to me, for that man has
either been accepting the hospitality
OF Chief Garfunkel, or he is lost to all
sense of all those beautiful and de-
lightful things which go to make I'D
the best in human existence"
The showing made caused the meet
ing to applaud the report Mr.. F. M.
Oliver moved that a resolution of
thanks be extended the president and
all the officers, that they be assured of
the heartfelt thanks and appreciation
or the members for their valuable
services during '"e year. The motion
was passed c. Estill expressed the

At Home on the Farm.
BAD AIR AND POISON.

EODERN science is every day
Nj teaching us that sunshine and
-4YA good air are most powerful
influences for health. For in
stance, the use of radium is simply
another form of sunlight. 1t is thought
that cancer can be cured by the use of
radium because it can be applied inter-
nally. Modern science as well as expert
ence has shown that contact with nat
ural surroundings, especially fresh air
and sunshine and the ozone which is
thrown off from growing plants and
rushing rivers has marvellous health
giving virtues. In these natural agencies
the farmer and planter is constantly sur
rounded during the mild weather. In
his younger days DR.. K. V. Pierce, the
founder Of the Invalids' Hotel and Surg
ical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y, prac-
ticed medicine in the country, rode
horseback over many miles Of hill and
dale, visiting households where there
was illness and disease. He says that
notwithstanding the natural advan-
tages which surround farm houses, they
are most wofully lacking in proper
hygienic equipments. The rooms are
lily ventilated. A hot stove throws out
carbonic gas, which shrinks the red
blood corpuscles and actually poisons
the people, although they do not know
it. Every window crack and Granny is
tightly closed and fastened so that little
fresh air can enter and take the place of
the air which is breathed over and over
or is filed with the gas from the stove.
This is the reason that the farmer and
his wife are not always healthy or better
off than his brother and sister in the
city. A winter spent indoors in such
an atmosphere places the system in such
bad shape that digestion is bad, blood is
bad, boils and pimples appear, or other
manifestations of impure blood. In
spite of the crowded condition of homes
in the city and the lack of sunlight, the
people attend to good air and proper
ventilation of the rooms muclf more
than they do in the country. The tenn
perature in the farm house is often very
much too hot, and in consequence those
in the household take cold on going ont
because their blood is in poor condition
from the bad air. In studying cases of
sickness in these homes, in such cases
where the real cause of trouble was inn
poverished blood, DR.. Pierce found that
an Alternative extract, made from roots,
herbs and banks, without the use of
alcohol or any narcotic, threw off the
poisons from the blood and assisted the
stomach in taking from the food such
elements as were necessary for making
rich, red blood. This extract he named
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, :.
and for over third of a century it has
sold more largely than any other tonic
or blood remedy. The refreshing influ-
ence of this extract is like natures in
fuence-the blood is bathed in the tonic
which gives life to the blood-the vital
fires of the body burn brighter and their
increased activity consumes the tissue
rubbish which may have accumulated
during warm weather or during days
