G. W. GOES IN OUT OF WET
GREENOUGH STATUE TAKEN IN
AT SMITHSONIAN.
Scantily Draped Figure Now Snugly
Housed in Steam-Heated Per-
manent Quarters.

Capitol in all too decolette Roman toge
and pointing with an accusing finger
toward the patent Office. where for years
his much needed clothes were kept, the
ia Their of his country has found sanctuary
in the steam-heated west wing Of the
Smithsonian Institution. where the work
men are now engaged in putting the fin
ishing touches 10 the pedestal whereon the
statue rests.
1t has been Il lon" term OF wandering
for the great statue. Carved In Italy
originally and brought in bulk to this
country. quite an engineering feat Tor
those days, it found resting place in
the crypt of the Capitol and then was
transferred to the Indictment region OF the
east front.
Last year Representative Mann of I'LL

propriation TO move the statue to the
Smithsonian, that being the home of
archaeology and sarcophagi 1t was moved
last fall and throughout the winter has
knocked at the southwest corner OF the
great building for entrance. The knocking
has not been in vain. The statue was too
big to go through any of the doors

taken out of the south wall and the
marble moved into the section OF the

the statue cracked all the way through.

be allowed to remain where IL is. The

1t is not thought that the Smithsonian
Institution Will again turn the statue out
in the cold, even though it is cultivatinS
its artistic sense by gathering a real art
collection together, and the officials of
the institution do not fear that any one
else will ever try to rob them Of the GUS

In fifteen minutes you have the new ex-
perience of a dark African night. with
its brilliant southern stars and the blazing
fires, each within its circle of laughing,
chattering natives, whose white teeth
CLEAN in the freight as they throw their
heads back in huge enjoyment of any
joke. They are almost uncanny, those
cleaning white teeth. Everywhere just

The second evening we stop at o clock.
while it is still daylight. and SO We get d

with the one or two other travellers, and "A
little friendly gossip passes the time I'M

know why these other travellers are there,
each in his way SO different fsom the
traveller at home, who eXcites neither in

manager of course, of some big rubber
plantation or mine. whose wife is brave
enough to accompany her husband into
the Back of Beyond. Here is a native
commissioner for northeastern Rhodesia
taking his wife and child to some distant
outpost only to be reached after perhaps
the woman with a sense of awe. She is
young, pretty and charming, and out
there, where she is going there is no
other woman, no doctor within perhaps
eighty miles, no other child for her child
to play withholding but days and weeks
of monOtonV and the silence one can
hear. We look at her with awe because
we know she is a heroine We know she
is going IN a measure to u silent martyr

can be all things to her.
Later on the station master regales us
all with an excellent monograph, and the
rows of slistening teeth gliSten more
persistently than ever the natives
gather around both awed and delighted.
Then once more we all retire TO sleep
and next morning awake refreshed to the
contemplation of the loveliest part of the

Kafue and Lasaakas. kafue we had

river the longest bridge in Africa.
All through the last day the scenery is
again chiefly forest, and at one place the
spot is pointed out where the engineer

shot two lions while the train waited He
explains himself how there were three or
four playing together quite near the line,
like huge dogs, and how. being at the
back of the train. he got in the first shot
and killed one instantly. The guard and
engine driver came hurrying along then,
but before they arrived he had put in his
second shot and bagged d second animal.

Brief Wills.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
Ten lines on a scrap of paper were
sufficient to dispose of the immense for
tune of the late Mr.. Henry Barnato.
The will was not the shortest on record.
but it ran the record close. Probably
the briefest statement was that of a
gentleman who had often de-
clared that he would make his will ON
a half-Sheet of note paper. Probably
he had Balfourian ieanings in politics.
He did as he had said, and wrote "Ail
for mother on a bit of paper. The will
was signed &c. r." and witnessed by the
testator's two sons. The document WAS
admitted to probate in due course.

ANIMATED FALSE FACE.
Pupils of Eyes Move Around, Nose
and Tongue Stick Out.

A novel animated false face is the recent
invention of Pittsburg man. AS shown
in the illustration below, the mask has
openings in the positions of the features.
In each opening is a flexible and eX
tensible bag, formed to simulate that fea-
ture. Also within the mask is a rubber
pipe, by which air can be blown into the
bags forcing the features i'll this way to
protrude through the holes in the mask.
The effect thus produced by the wearer
of the mask is said to be extremely funny.

six or eight deputies in the chamber,

it will be found that $50 votes have been
