prize of $4,000 on May IL. 1906, in a
competition that included architects
from many countries and comprised
ZIG sets of designs. The palace Is to
be built by Andrew Carnegie, who
first announced the project on April
90, 1908. His gift for the structure is
$1.500.000. but estimates place the
cost much higher, and 1t is believed
that Mr.. Carnegie will meet the de-
ficiency. The legislature of Holland
on May 10, 1905, voted s214,0O0 for the
site. The building is to consist of
justice halls and library, and the
entrance is to be through a grand ves-
tibule of honor, with an imposing stair
way, but the chief feature of the in
terror will be a magnificent Hall of
Arbitration" where future peace con-
ferences are to be held. The main
building is to be fianked by high tow
ers of ornate construction. two of
which are to be at either eud of the
facade. The entire block will be
quadrangular, with a corridor on two
floors and justice halls occupying the
tanks. The mural decorations are to
be highly artistic. and the furnishings
In general are to be costly.

Artificial Aigrettes.

An announcement that bird lovers
will be glad to hear is that an artificial
aigrette has been produced, said to be
more beautiful than the real feather
which has brought about so many ap-
peals for mercy.
The aigrette is not just now much
in demand by the milliners, but 1t has
usually been such a necessary adjunct
that no doubt the whirligig of fashion
will bring it into use again. II an arti-
fetal feather of equal beauty with the
genuine has been contrived, one ac-
count of women with the recording an.
gel has been squared, but the report
that such a feat has been accom-
plished has not been verified.
The natural aigrette. as most per.
sons know is taken from the mother
bird during the breeding season, SC
that not only is her life sacrificed but
the lives of all her nestlings. No won
der an aigrette on a woman's head is
sign of reproach and that the hu.
name have striven SO hard to Vreyent

Believed by Japs,

The Japanese believe in more myth
ical creatures than any other people
on the globe, civilized or savage.
Among these mythical animals are
some without any remarkable peculi-
arities of conformation. but gifted with
supernatural attributes, such as
tiger which is said to live until it has
become a thousand years old, and
then turns as white as a polar bear
The Japanese also believe in a multi
tude of animals distinguished mainly
by their monstrous size or by the
multiplication of their members.
Among these are serpents 800 feet
long and large enough to swallow an
elephant. foxes with eight legs. mon
keys with four ears, and fishes with
ten heads attached to one body. Japs
also believe in the existence of a crane
which. after 1t has lived for 600 years,
has no need of any sustenance except
water.
