TIE WHITE PAINT OF THE
WHITE HOUSE.

The White House at Washington.
which has been the Kings Palace
Of the American People since ii was
first occupied by President Madison
In 1909. has recent undergone a
thorough course Of remcielling. emo
WALTON and repair. Every American
citizen Is owner OF an undivided
eighty or e%ighty-hve milionth part OF
the White House. as well as Of the
other Public Buildings and Monuments
in the Capitol City. An item in the
renovation OF the remodelled White
House was repainting. Every visitor
10 Washington knows why the White
House is so called-because IL IS lit
orally a white house. The exterior
paint must therefore be white. Now
while the pure white surfaces and sim
PIE lines Of the White House, set in
tire midst Of green lawns and beauti-
ful trees, produce a very satisfying
effect Of dignihed simplicity, white
paint from a practical point Of view,
Is about the most unsatisfactory kind
Of paint that could have been selected
by the original designers. First, be-
cause any white paint is easily dis
colored by smoke and dust, and Sec
ond, because ordinary white paint
itself gradually turns gray or brown
ish yellow from exposure.
But white the White House is and
white It must remain or it would no
longer be the white House. SO the
r~enovators, making the best Of a dis
! couraging situation, sought for the
best kind Of white paint p~rocurable
The average citizen If asked TO guess
what kind Of paint they finally decid
ed on would probably answer-"whit'
lead and OIL" but he would guess
wrongly. The paint selected as Tho
best obtainable was a ready mixe'
paint. such as can be bought in an.
well furnished village store, such a

FATE OF EUROPEAN BISON.
Revolutions in Russia Cause De-
crease in Number Of These
Animals.

An interesting side effect of the re-
bellion and perhaps revolution OF
which we read in Russia is the possible
speedy extinction of a species Of ami
nal which for many years has been
~jealously protected by the car. In
times of national peace and content
ment the European bison lives in the
imperial forests OF Lithuania, presuma-
blv unmolested. but whenever there is
a rising in Poland and the rebels take
10 the woods they use this herd OF
bison as a part of their commissary
and kill them for beef.
For many years. says Forest and
Stream. there has been a gradual less
ening in numbers Of this herd. which
By many biologists is thought TO be
due to inbTeeding; yet there are others
who believe that the decrease in this
projected herd, which so years ago
numbered nearly 1000 and which lives
wild In its native habitat. is TOO rapid
70 be accounted for solely by inhFsed-
inc. and must be due to destruction by
man Notwithstanding the efforts made
by the authorities TO protect them.
statistics OF the Bielowitza herd in
Grodno show that between 1888 and
1857 these bison increased from IGS TO
1885. but from this time on the de-
crease has been constant until In 1897
the herd numbered less than 500.
The butchery Of human beings in
Russia. which is reported to be taking
place on a scale quite unparalleled in
times of peace for the last hundred
years. stirs the emotions of the world;

The chief rarely gave his time to
young men looking for "a chance on

that. He left such details to the city

Tucker began TO thank the chief
but ne had started for his room.
