to Gen. Robert Gibson Smith, Of New
Jersey, for $4,000. This is one of the
best-known estates in Virginia, and Is
situated in Fairfax county, on the Po-
tomac river, % miles from Washing
ton. The estate almost touched the old
Mount Vernon estate, and the own
err of Gunston hall, Mr.. George Mason,
was one of the most intimate friends
and neighbors that George Washing
ton had.
The old mansion is standing virtu-
ally as it was built by Mr.. Mason, in
1855. 1t is an imposing and delightful
old building, and is of the old colonial
type of architecture. The bricks OF
which it is built were brought by ship
all the way from Scotland. They are
twice the size of modern bricks, but
are exceedingly durable as the walls OF
Gunston hall will compare more than
favorably with the buildings of the
present day. The house is so feet
long by 40 feet wide. The principal
entrance is on the north side of the
building and is marked by a large

having four heavy doric pillars. On
the south side there is a smaller porch
overlooking the wide Potomac.
This estate now consists of 615 acres
and affords fine pasture and farming
lands, besides having large orchards
containing about 10000 fruit trees

was anxious to get up into the old
colonial atmosphere and settle down

partment of California he was right
on the spot when the terrible earth
quake wrecked the city of San Fran
cisco, and the record he has made in
maintaining order and giving relief to
the sufferers is equal to any that he
had previously attained, although he
is a medal of honor man in the list
of army officers.
Gen. Funston is right we'll known
in Washington, where he has many
friends who were intimate with him
long before he ever dreamed that he
would wear the stars of brigadier
general in the regular army. Less
than a dozen years ago he was an in
conspicuous clerk in the department OF
agriculture, place he secured through
the influence of his father, who was
for many years a Republican congress
man from the state of Kansas. Fun
ston was always an ambitious little fell
low, but his friends here do not re-
call that a military career especially
appealed to him until conditions grew
so bad in Cuba under Spanish misrule.
He used to talk with his associates
about the oppression of the Cubans
and wish that he could do something
to help them win liberty. He went to
Cuba finally and fought with the pa
triots against the Spanish and had a
pretty lively time.
1t was when the Spanish war broke
out and he was largely instrumental
in raising a Kansas regiment, of which
he was made colonel, that his active
military career began and he soon
demonstrated that while he was an en-
thusiast, he was a practical one and
not visionary one.

all his tales are to be believed, and is
now having the time of his life re-
ceiving responses to his suggestion
that he would like to have a nice lady
for his wife, and when the right one
comes along he will settle upon her
the tidy sum of 100000. 1t may be
mentioned that the lady has not yet

yet intact. He came here few weeks
ago and put up at the best hotel In the

story in his great luck in searching
for wealth.
According to his tale, he struck It

said that he was worth 100000 in

settle down In peace, comfort and do

tie 100000 on the lady who met his
ideal of wife. His story got a wide
circulation, and the mails have been
filed with letters from all over the
country.
They come from women in almost
every station Of life. but the majority
of them have been written by working
girls and servants, who thought they
saw an opportunity to secure wealth
and a husband. There is a stupendous
assortment from blase old maids, foxy
widows Of uncertain years. dashing
little girls from Dixie Land, gay Choir

swallowed the whole story OF great
wealth and Stark's hunt for a wife.

THE WHITE PAINT OF THE
WHITE HOUSE.


Tho White House at Washington,
which has been the Kings Palace"
or the American People since II was
first occupied by President Madison
in 1909, has recently undergone a
thorough course of remodelling, reno.
walton and repair. Every American
citizen ia owner of an undivided
eighty or eighty-hve millionth 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
to Washington knows why the White
House is so called--because it 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
the midst of green lawns and beauti.
full trees, produce very satisfying
effect of dignified 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 1t must remain or it would no
longer be the "White House.. So the
renovators, making the best Of a dis
couraging situation, sought for the
best kind of white paint procurable.
The average citizen If asked to guess
what kind of paint they finally decid.
ed on would probably answer-"white
lead and OIL" but be would guess
wrongly. The paint selected as the
best obtainable was a ready mixed
paint, such as can be bought in any
we'll furnished village store, such as
is used by more than half of the
eighty or eighty-five million owners
of the White House on their own
homes. That one brand of mixed
paint was used instead of another lie
a mere accidental detail-there are
fifty or a hundred brands on the
market that might have been selected
in other circumstances, and in fact.
a different brand was used in paint
ing the Capitol.
Every property owner. therefore,
who paints his house with a high
grade ready-mixed paint is following
the example set by the Government
Authorities at Washington, who used
ready-mixed paint. because they could
find nothing else as good.

have to admit that many of their the
cries are guesswork. They have
CLEANED some very interesting data
from the disturbance, and the seismo-
graph, that delicate instrument that
registers disturbances of the earth, has
come into great prominence. The
weather bureau has one which prompt
ly recorded the earthquake on the
morning it occurred, but at the mag
netic observatory of the United States
coast and geodetic survey, at Chelten-
ham, the closest observation was
made not only with the seismograph,
but also with the self-registering mag
netic instruments.
This magnetic observatory Is one of
the best equipped in the country and
the seismograph was mounted there in
December, 1904. The record is made
by fine steel point which makes a
trace on sheet of paper having a
smoked surface. This paper is wound
on cylinder driven by clockwork and
revolving once every hour at such a
speed that the smoked surface moves
past the pen point at the rate of one
twenty-fifth of an inch every four sec
onds. Cheltenham is 2,450 miles in
an air line from San Francisco and the
record shows that the waves from the
earthquake crossed the continent in
seven minutes "a seconds, or at the
rate of 515 miles per second, which is
q times the velocity of sound.
The self-recording magnetic instru-
ments registered the same data and
showed that the tremors of the earth
quake crossed from San Francisco to
Cheltenham In about seven minutes.
