Interesting Points Are Here Described
for Readers.
After several weeks of delicate ne
gotiation, the directors Of the Swedish
building and exhibits at the Alaska
Yukon Pacific exposition have succeeded
in gaining from DR.. w. l.. Wright Of
Washington City the privilege of ex.
hibiting Henry Hammond Ahl's miracle
painting, "The Shadow of the Cross. y
The "Shadow of the Cross - is prob.
ably the most discussed work ever pro-
duced by an artist, not because the ar
fist intended that it should be, but be-
cause Of conditions over which he had
no control and which, down to date,
neither clergyman nor chemist has been
able to account for.
The picture is Of the Christ. Viewed
in the full light it is splendid but not
unusual type. With the lights turned
off and in utter darkness, the miracle
materializes. From the clouds in the
background there emanates vivid
glow that throws out the figure of the
Master in silhouette. Around the head
there appears a luminous halo and
athwart the whole picture and behind
the figure falls the shadow of the cross.
On the Pay Streak.
In romantic gulch near the Pay
Streak Of the exposition will be found
a typical "wildcat" still. This pest of
the mountain. revenue officer will be re-
constructed from still destroyed in
the Tennessee mountains years ago, and
the battered copper kettles and rusted
worm will again be mounted for duty.
No corn, however, will be boiled into
the coil of joy" in the exposition

how it used to be will be demonstrated
