Mines and Metallurgy Building.

The mines and metallurgy building at the
Lewis and Clark exposition. though con-
tracted for within few months of the
centenniars opening, IS one OF the hand
soonest structures on the grounds. The
building is 200 feet long and 100 feet wide
and contains 2o,0O0 square feet of exhibit
space. The mines and metallurgy building
Is northeast OF the agricultural palace and
faces the concourse plaza.
Generally speaking. the design of the
mines and metallurgy building is a free
ing to the short period afforded for the con-
struction of the building little attempt was
made toward design, and the building Is
sublimely simple. Careful study has been
given the main entrance. however, and this
is distinctly of the Ionic order. Three door
ways ornamented with classic holdings are
located between series of four fluted pill
asters. These are given such projection "A
to closely resemble engaged columns and
aid greatly in making the entrance very
imposing. Light is afforded by groups of
iiamond-shaped windows and an enormous
skylight.
A comprehensive exhibit of Oregon's min
eraI resources is made in the building. The
ore display Is very complete. The practical
mining exhibits include various types of
mining machinery In operation Much space
is given to metallurgy. and this display
has proven of paramount interest among
students of the science of metals.

A Morse Legend.
rom the Pittshurg Dispatch.

According to a recent work on Norway
the scantiness of the soil in that country is
explained by some of the country people
as follows: AT the creation of the world
the angels whose duty 1t was to scatter
the soil forgot Norway. Seeing this the
guardian angel of the land made complaints
to the Creator. What was to be done
Impossible to restart the whole of the crea-
ton for the sake of Norway. Come, my
little angels" said He. Took carefully and
perhaps you may still find = little earth. y
The conscience-stric angels swept the
floor of heaven and the little dust they
found they gathered in their draperies and
scattered over the Norwegian rocks.

PORTLAND, Ore, June s, 1905.
The longest building at the Lewis and
Clark exposition is that devoted to trans
portation. electricity and machinery, its
dimensions being 500x1OO feet. The trans
portation, electricity and machinery build
ing is situated In the extreme eastern por-
ton of the exposition grounds and has for
Its neighbors the mines and metallurgy
building and the auditorium.
Owing to the fact that the construction
of this building was found necessary only
within very recent date, much effort toward
design was not permissible and the facades
are plain. Notwithstanding they have been
SO carefully studied that the building is
one of the most presentable at the expo
sition.
Ornate work is confined almost entirely to
the main entrance, which is located in the
center of the west facade. This has a large
arch richly ornamented with two pilasters,
one on either side of the doorway. cor
nice of liberal projection supported by
classic brackets and feStooned with sculp-
tured flowers ornaments the entrance. which
Is exceedingly attractive
The upper wall of the pavilion is finished
In a semi-circle adorned in the center with
| star-shaped window, and on each angle
| Is pinnacle supporting fiagpole. Two
doors on the main facade and one on either
end of the building afford ample means
of egress and ingress.
The wings, each 1O0x10O feet made neces-
sary by the remarkable demand for ex-
hibit space. extend at right angles from
either end of the building. The cost of the
transportation. electricity and machinery

industries building at the Lewis and Clark
exposition is one of the largest structures
on the grounds, containing 10000 square
feet of exhibit space. 1t is one of the
group Of large exhibits palaces facing on
the concourse plaza. and In design Is a
free rendition of the Spanish renaissance.
This building contains exhibits compre-
hensive of American manufacture, and rep
resents the entire participation in the Lewis
and Clark exposition by the manufa cturers
of the country. The displays are classi-
fed according to the varied industries and
many participants are making thorough and
instructive exhibits of processing. In the
hardware section, an enterprising stove
manufacturer shows the various stages in
which the family range Is made. The man
ufacture of cutlery is exhibited in its vari-
Gus processes.
Cloth manufacture is represented and
other kinds of wearing material. A num-
Der of large medical supply houses show
the processes of manufacture of their pat
ent noStrumS The manufacture of anes-
thetizing and pharmaceutic apparatus is
shown.
In commercial arts the manufacture of
hundreds of merchantable articles is
hibited including furniture, power machin-
cry. rope, wire cable, typewriters. adding
machines. glassware. jewelry, lamps, radi-
ators housefurnishings and various other
things too innumerable to mention.

Many Interesting Displays.

In this building are housed many inter-
esting displays The transportation ex-
hibit shows the different modes of travel
from the early days to the present time,
from the baby carriage to the steam mogul
engine. a feature of the transportation
section is the first locomotive used in Ore
gon- 1t Is a pony engine. only thirteen
feet long and seven feet wide 1t stands
next to one of the largest and latest pat
termed locomotives constructed in the
United States. and the contrast is vivid.
Aside from the many exhibits showing the
mode of travel on land, many exemplifica
tons of sea travel are included in the trans
portation display.
The electricity and machinery displays
are full of life and motion, showing the
wonderful progress made In late years in
these lines. The electricity exhibit in
cludes exhibits of various contrivances for
the generation of the power and its APP
plicaton. Displays also made of cleo
tro-chemistry, lighting. telegraphy and tel
ephony and many other fields in which cleo
tricity is utilized
The machinery exhibit Is classified under
steam engines. various motors general ma
chinery, machine tools and arsenal appli-
anceS.

Oriental Exhibits Building.

The oriental exhibits building at the
Lewis and Clark exposition is the only
structure in which the classics have been
followed consistently as regards design.
The building is 1903 feet long and 100 feet
wide and contains 10000 square feet of
exhibit space
In design the structure Is strictly Corin
THAN. The main entrance is situated
the south front and is very imposing. Two
large buttresses rise either side of the
entrance and project sufficiently to afford
ample shelter to the main doorWays. These
are ornamented with carefully studied
touches. The entrance proper is under
huge arch. Classic holdings carry around
this from cartouche in the center of the
rise and are returned to the buttresses
The facades broken here and there
with luted pilasters Windows are located
between each pair of pilasters. Their cas-
Ings are artistically embeliished in bas-re-
lief The rear of the building terminates in
q great bay. An enormous arched dome
surmounts the structure. Additional light
is afforded by a great skylight which runs
the entire length of the dome. Eight clas-
sic cupoas, two on each corner of the
square of the building, finish the structure.
All the exhibits contained in the building
are distinctly oriental Japan makes very

The steady use Of a particular set OF
muscles tends to chronic fatigue, which
produces faulty or difficult motion,
trembling, cramps and even paralys sis.
Writers, telegraphers, tailors and seam
stresses are among the classes most
threatened in this way with the loss OF
their power to earn living. The fol.
lowing instance shows that nerve power
may be recovered after it seems entirely
lost, if the right means are taken. Mrs.
O. S. Blacksten, of No. 5S4 North Bow
man street, Mansfield, Ohio, says:
"For years my hands would become
SO numb at times that would drop
anything / attempted to lift. Later
they became so bad that could not sew
any longer, and at last could scsScely
do anything at all with my hands. At
night the pricking sensations would
come OH worse than ever, and my hands
and arms would pain so that l dreaded
to 90 to bed. My family doctor gave me
some nerve tablets. They helped me
little, but only for short time after l
had taken them and if l happened to be
without them for day or two would

A Mule and Millions.
From the Worlds Work.

Half the lead that has been mined in
the United States has come from the
famous Coeur d'Alenas, the most pro-
ductive lead mines in the world. Like
many of the richest mines, they We're
discovered bS pt.lc luck. \ man lent
his mule to two prospectors. In the
course of their w;lnderings the mule
was tied to Il tree, and he. becoming
impatient, paved the ground and I'M
covered a lead Vein which is now the
site of the famous Bunker Hill Sullivan
mine.
The owner of the mule sued for a
third interest IN the claim, and the
courts granted it to him, stating that
as the mule had made the discovery.
and that, as he was its owner, he was
entitled to the mules share. The three
owners sold their discovery for Il half
million dollars. and nothing was too
good for that mule for the rest of his
days He Mas exhibited in Il private
car and lived on the fat of the land,
and now Il tombstone marks his grave.
His harness hangs in a noted saloon,
where it is gaZed upon With deepest
reverence by the old-tinle prospectors.
The mine is the richest slver-lead
mine in the world. yielding Il net rev.
enue of Sl.5O0.000. Since their discov-
cry in 1854 the Occur d Alene mines
have produced nearly s2G0,000,0 900 in
gold, silver and lead.
