Of visit to the exposition from any
part Of this or any other country.
But, while all this Is historical, sci
entific and educational and is grand
and comprehensive beyond anything
that has ever been attempted at any
exposition before, 1t Is not all and per-
haps not the most important part of
the exposition. The Industrial exhibits

The site for the jamestown exposi-
tion is an ideal one. Nature and man
have combined to make this spot ex-
tremely attractive. The climate is
pleasant winter and summer. The hui
midity Is not excessive and extremes
in temperature never occur, as an
equitable temperature is maintained by
the constant but gentle zephyrs from
the Atlantic and from Chesapeake Bay.
Around the exposition grounds are
clustered many points of historical in
terest and commercial Importance.
Among them are Cape Henry, Old
Point Comfort and jamestown; Hamp
ton, the home of friendly Indians
known as Kecoughton, and also the
oldest continuous settlement of English
men in America; Fortress Monroe. or
iginally a palisaded fort of the first
settlers, planned in 1914 and fortified
a few years later, and now the finest
fortress in America and chief artillery

Some of the newspapers of the Mexi-
can capital have taken up an agitation
for a reform in the business hours.
Heretofore it has been the custom to
close all shops and offices absolutely
between the hours of l and 2 80 or 3
O'Clock in the afternoon. Some of the
foreign stores have attempted to get
away from this system, but the small
amount of trade gained by thus doing
away with the ancient "siesta" hour
(now largely tradition in the capital)
was not enough to pay for the trouble
The noon rest hour Is reasonable
one in the tropics, where 1t is always a
period of dullness and unusual heat,
but there Is also the other side, in that
the long hour suggests a heavy noon
meal, which in the tropics more than
anywhere else is unreasonable. But
the principal opposition to the noon
rest hour Is the consequent lengthening
of the working hours into the evening,
so that stores and offices never close
before o'clock, and often not before
8. This throws the evenings recreation
into the night, so that no theater can
begin a performance before 8 40 at the
very earliest, and the time of recrea-
tion is heightened into an "all night
seance."

Rare Skeleton Is Found.

There arrived in this city last week
for the Museum of Natural History the
skeleton Of loxolophodon. 1t was
unearthed in southern Wyoming, where
the great beast roamed in large num-
bers many centuries ago, by an ex-
pedition sent out from the museum by
Professor Walter Granger. Speaking
of the success attending the search,
Professor Granger said:
I'VE found the skeleton of the lar
gest mammal living at the time and
for which we made careful search. This
huge mammal was known as the loxO-
lophodon, mixture Of elephant and
rhlnoceros. 1t had six horns-two en-
or1nous ones in the back of the skull,
two smaller ones over the eyes and
two rudimentary horns on the tip Of
the nose.

MYSTERY OF BOYS POCKET.
Pupil in Public school Forced to Un.
load A s:eP a Marble Drops.


Anyone of a curious turn of mind
who will take the trouble to get at the
statistics will find that figures don't
lie with regard to the number of things
small boy can get into his pockets.
They simply give out.
In one of the public schools the teach
er recently turned her sternest gaze
toward a lively 12-year-old who had
dropped a heavy marble on the floor
with thud that stopped the recitation.
Atthe moment of her intensest scrutiny.
when the urchin was doing his level
best to felgn innocence, a diabolical
smaller marble dropped from his pock-
ct and rolled across the floor after its
mate.
That settled 1t. Abashed and shrink
Ing, the culprit came forward. At the
command to remove every article in his
pockets he hesltated. He held out
against this unexpected. outrage upon
sacred institution as long as he dared,
but before the birch rod began Its fell
work the urchln submitted.
His first handful contained three
pieces Of copper wire (insulated), one
piece (not insulated), two old purses,
suspender fastening, eleven street car
transfers and a tin whistle. AS he
reached again a look of hendish JOY
came over his freckled face. One arti-
Gle came out. 1t was live mouse. The
teacher clutched her skirts nervously
while it was being removed.
Then the investigation proceeded.
When 1t was over 116 articles had come
from the boys pockets. They are cat
alogued as follows, besides those men,
toned:
Two picture cards, one shoelace, one
tobacco sack, one piece Of ribbon, one
broken watch, four election cards, one
car ticket, seven tobacco cards, two
tobacco tags, one tin monkey, one fish
hook, one mirror (broken), one good
mirror, one wooden ak, one Hooligan
pin, two screws, one rubber washer, one
isinglass card, two buttons, thirty seven
agate stones. seven marbles, two books,
one tobacco coupon, three pieces of
orange peel, two blank cartridges, one
loaded cartridge, three corks, one pen
Gil, two Matches one key, half a ciga.

two raisins, one broken comb, one cuff
pin and piece of candy-New York

The Wonderful Chinese.

Big Osh, emperor of China and
founder of the Bing dynasty, was fa.
nous for the number of things in which
he anticipated our present civilization.
One day, after sitting awhile in
deep thought, he called his equerry TO
him.
Harness Niagara" he commanded,
briefly.
And 1t was done.
OF course, 1t Is with no invidious
wish to detract from the splendor Of
this achievement, incredible as 1t un-
doubtedly seems, that we add the fur
ther fact that Niagara was the empcr-
or's old bay mare.-Puck.
