The lighting is TO be a feature Of the
exhibition and daylight Ia to be outdone on
darkest nights. Searohlights, incandescent
lamps, electric torches and oolored lights
are in great numbers, while none Of the
achievements Of recent exhibitions such
as electrically lighted waterfalls. fountains
&c. win be missing.
The managers Of this exhibition Of muSh-
room growth announce that it iS 10 open
positively on May II. How that is TO be done
remains a mystery In the minds Of all but
Imre Kralfy and his assistants. To TIE
Sun correspondent who visited the grounds
the other day it seemed manifestly an i'm
possibility that anything approaching com
pletion should be reached before July /.
But II 600 men are now employed. and their
number is being decreased 1900 weekly.
Day and night the work proceeds.
Fifteen million dollars will have been
expended on labor and materials when all
is accomplished and the goods exhibit will
be worth tOo.OOO.OOO. All the buildings have
been made absolutely hreproof.
All connected with the exhibition declare
that they are sure the total attendance will
be 80 1000 900, which OF course would break
the Chicago record Of 2s,OOO.oOO. The glory
Of the entente cordiale is never 10 be for
gotten and the distinguished French visitors
are to be treated with the greatest considera-
ton and hospitality, while special trips will
be arranged for tradespeople from France
who wish to see this evidence Of the Franco
British alliance. Some 100 French school
children are TO come to England as guests
Of the nation.
The exhibitors and indeed the exhibits
are not yet actually on the grounds, but no
doubt there will be a brave show on the
opening day. No one ever expects worlds
fairs to be really ready till almost the time
for them to close, so all due allowance will
be made for this ones deficiencies in that
respect And anyway Americans arriving
early in July will surely find at Shepherds

PIE IN EUROPE, MAYBE,
More Disposition to Cater 10 American
tastes Abroad.

The coming Of Escoffier, the great chef
for the purpose Of studying the culinary
tastes and habits Of Americans is sig
nifioant Of the change that has come
over stubborn old London in regard TO
considering the ideas and prejudices Of
other persons than those Of its own nation.
For many years the demands Of American
guests in the hotels Of the English capital
for hot breakfast breads, fritters and other
things besides toast, eggs, bacon and jam.
created nothing more serious than a smile
Of headwaiters and managers.
Escofier says that he has even heard Of
this thing that you call pie, but that it
would never be success in the foreign
hotels. Nevertheless there is very little
doubt that before he returns he will master
even the pie mystery, for the wistful call
OF the tourist for pie has never been salts
fed abroad The chefs there refuse to
put top crust on II, aud call it tart or
tartlette; but it is not pie, and they never
seem TO understand.
Nor will they ever salt and pepper dishes
sufficiently TO please Americans, or serve
butter with dinner or keep their wines
iced or do many other things that here in
America people know TO be right in a Gull
nary way, but which they declare without
reservation are absurd.
The great summer invasion Of American
money spenders is altering the situate
somewhat and it has become necessary 10
cater TO American tastes Steam heat and
cold storage are two Of the recent conces-
sions in the new hotels that have gone up
in London, and they are even importing
American cooks for the special dishes in
tended for Americans.
American women who have gone abroad
are the cause Of the Americanizing Of time

Old Men Beaten-NIIne Of Tradition.
There are only twenty-seven Of the old
soldiers Of France left in the Hotel des
Invalides in Paris, well known to tourists
as the building that contains the tomb OF
Napoleon l. About hundred years ago
there we're 10000 mutilated veterans Of the
Napoleonc wars in tn e institution. The
maximum was in 1912.
Times OF peace have reduced the number
OF those qualified for admission in the last
thirty-five years 20 almost nothing. Already
public Offices have invaded the great pile
OF buildings 80 that the survivors are
crowded into a corner The offices Of the
colonial division Of the army, the army and
artillery museums and various bureaus
Of army administration keep the place in a
constant bustle and the Government is
waiting impatiently for the last veteran to
die 80 that ii can completely utilize the
buildings.
Several propositions have been made to
get rlu OF lne SURVIVORS, ~ WIS proposed
to give private and non-commissioned
officers pensions Of $500 a year-a big Rmrr
for France officers more in proportion
and turn them out to shift for themselves.
There was a cry Of indignation from all
France. A majority Of the old men had no
one to 60 to, no one to care for them.
So there they are still. There is one field
officer, Commandant Gallois, three sub
alterns and twenty-three non-commissioned
officers and privstes. Rooms and q mess
hall have been reserved for the officers.
The privates live and sleep in the infirmary
proper and its kitchens suffice for all. Be-
sides their rations, which are good and
liberal, and the uniform Of the house, not
unlike Prussian infantry soldiers with its
long tailed coat and fat cap, they all receive
little pocket money from 40 cents a day

established il, began the buildings and
provided for It's endowment, has an mex
haustible mine Of tradition. One Of its
oddities was the woman soldier Angelique
Marie Josephe Duchemin, who was ad-
mitted in 1877. when she was 20 years OF age,
and died there in 1850 She enlisted in the
Forty second Regiment Of infantry in 1872
in place Of her husband, whose name was

On June 21, 1880, o sergeant named Kolom-
beski, a Pole was admitted He had papers
establishing that he was l26 years old. He
had been wounded at Fontenoy and Ros-
bach, but did not claim asylum for a hum
dred years, when he had no one left in the
world. He died soon after his admission.
The great tragedy Of the hotel w1s
on March 30, 1914, Just before the
allies entered Paris after Napoleon had
been consigned TO Elbs. On that day the
Governor caused the destruction Of all the
flags and other trophies captured from
the other nations Of Europe in various
wars, which were gathered at the Invalides
under guardianship Of the veterans.
All the inmates we're assembled in the
Court Of Honor about huge pyre which
the servants had prepared On this were
laid 900 captured standards, with various
other insignia and the sword OF Frederick
ii. OF Prussia taken from Potsdam. The
drums rolled and the trlmpets sounded
the charge as fre was set 10 the pile. The
band played the "Marseillaise' as the
sword OF the great Frederick leaped out
of the fire, but ptileas veteran picked II
up and threw II back and II was destroyed.

The Grand Legion is made up Of four
or more legions. Each legion has four re-
lief columns, each column four dctachments
and each detachment four squads, The

sumptives. The first camp in this State is
to be opened al Buffalo in June Later in
the summer camps will be established al
Albany, Syracuse and Rochester. and in
other cities as fast as the necessary funds
are secured.

The committee has arranged for a series
Of lectures 10 be given by trained nurses In
the settlement houses throughout the city
during the summer, which the mothers Of

Ing the Use OF the SOclety's Emblem.
Until William II. Taft, who as Secretary
Of War 10 president Of the American National
Red Cross. came to New York TO speak at
the special meeting OF the New York State
branch Of the organization few persons
knew Of the many activities which the
national and State branches have already
undertaken.
Perhaps the most important movement
s the Grand Legion Of the Red Cross,
which aims 10 be a trained army Of first
aid. The Red Cross plan TO cooperate in

designed 20 teach mothers the rudiments
Of nursing To all these is added cam
paign started several years ago to dis
courage the use Of the Red Cross emblem
for any other purpose than that expressed
in the Federal statute incorporating the
Fed Cross.
Concerning the Grand Legion Of the Red
Cross Secretary Taft said:
Medical and nursing schools Of standing
enable the Red Cross to secure the enrolment
Of doctors and nurses. but no provision is
made for the training OF attendants. a most
necessary adjunct TO the hospital service.
The society Is meeting this need by organiz-
ing relief columns. whose members will have
had special training for this duty. and the
War Department has detailed an army sur
Reon to plan the training and regulations
which will be provided for these columns
these columns are directed and instructed by
physicians and are being uniformed.
The objects OF the Grand Legion Of the
Fed Cross as set forth by the National Red
Gross are:

are not al hand, and to assist the latter
