promised their substantial support for the project. Not only will the arts. industries and manufactures of Ireland be specially provided for says the prospectus, but there will be exhibits of the manufactures, industries, re- sources, machinery. science, art. arch geology, etc., of all nations"
 The objects of the exposition are definitely stated to be "Q) to promote the industries, art and science of Ire land by display of the products for which the country is famous, and of the products of partially developed in- dustries for which special facilities ex- ist in the country; CD to stimulate commercial development and promote industrial education by inviting all na- tions to exhibit their products. both in the raw and finished state
 "An exhibition such as is to be held, to quote once more, will display the many opportunities which exist in Ire land for the investment of capital. It will place before the world her indus trial manufactures and products, will show the remarkable progress they have made in a few years, and what further development they are capa. ble of"
 The exhibition buildings now near ing completion are of great extent, and are more or less typical of exposition structures seen elsewhere The main entrance will open into Celtic court, where will be placed some of the Irish industrial exhibits. Directly opposite the main entrance will be the main building, consisting of central octa- gonal court. 215 feet in diameter. sur rounded by corridor opening into four radial wings, each 164 feet long and 80 feet wide.
 Over the center of the main building rises an octagonal dome. 80 feet in di- ameter and 150 feet in height. Grouped around this central structure will be pavilions for British foreign and CO., lonial exhibits and the other exposition buildings. Among the latter will be the Palace of Fine Arts. in which will be installed a collection of modern paintings and sculpture, including work of Irish artists. This building is de- signed to be of real fireproof construc- tion. Among other interesting build ings will be facsimiles of certain his toric structures which are of interest, either from their archaeological or his torical associations.
 The visitor to the exposition will find Dublin one of the most beautiful of Irish cities. It has population of about 100000. has well-kept streets, and buildings most attractive by req son of their architectural beauty or historical association. Thus the Bank of Ireland, classic structure. Is the old house of parliament. where the na- tive legislators met until the act of union century ago.
 Dublin Castle. where the government offices are located, gives visitors the impression of jail. St. Patrick's 8 Cathedral has many interesting asso. citations. and those of literary tastes will there seek out the burial place of Dean Swift. Altogether, Dublin is a city of imposing edifices. and govern. ment buildings in no city of the same size can excel in beauty those of the Irish capital.

 Jacob Dempster laughed sourly. "I'd like to see you try it." he re- piled, sourly. Don't you know that Basham, though port, lies six miles from the sea up a creek, which is an arm of the inlet known as Chiches. ter Harbor? You'd be stuck on a mud bank before you'd gone a mile up the creek. Where are you going to get your pilot?"
 It was the Frenchman's turn to laugh now. Tt is you who will pilot us. my friend-in return for your lib. erty." he said. My men will remain below for concealment, while you and your crew work the vessel, as though in due course returning home. Then. when we sail away with the French prisoners, shall leave you and your men behind. If neither you or any of your crew will steer the brigantine up the creek. I will hang you all at the yard.arm within five minutes"
 There was a moments dead silence, and the old skipper turned and faced his crew.

 Not quite. however, as 1t proved. One voice among the Fireny's com. pany was silent. and all eyes were turned on the tall. blue-eyed young fellow in the center of the line in amazement. Was Greg Applegarth of all men going to turn traitors?
 Avoiding the whitening glance shot at him by old Jacob. the young man raised his head for a second and an. swered: "Yes. I'll pilot her up the creek-if so be as you'll spare my mates lives as well as mine"
 But certainly-unless they attempt to thwart me-" said Fournier. con. temptuously.
 Greg Applegarth was permitted to remain on deck. but Jacob Dempster and the rest of his crew were thrus, into the hold. where they passed their time in cursing their comrades treach. cry

Fi.herman's Strange Haul.

The man who landed a strangely queer looking member of the finny tribe thought he had caught sea ser pent. He was fishing in Puget sound and expected nothing quite so remark able as this creature. which has some thing the appearance of sea horse long drawn out.
 When the fish was finally landed. after a severe struggle. in which the fisherman came near going to the bot tom of the sound. it was swung up to an arm of a post and snapshot taken. The length of the fish is not definitely known. for who ever gets the truth about a fine catch like this? But it Is long enough to satisfy the cravings of the most aspiring devotee of rod and reel. It is considerably more than the height of an. average man.
