celebrate this week the fiftieth ami
versary of the nomination of Abraham

coin Pageant association will re-enact
the stirring scenes of the memorable
convention that on May 1918, 1860,
in session in the "wigwam' in this
city placed the name of Honest Abe"
at the head of the republican nation
al ticket.
Many of the delegates of the 1860
convention are here today as the
guests of Chicago The "wigwam"
has been accurately reproduced in the
Coliseum by James p. Root, who su-
pervised the erection of the original
structure.
On the night of the nomination pic
lures of the various presidential pos
sibilities before the convention will
be displayed in fireworks above the
Coliseum, and when the convention
has decided on Lincoln as its candi-
date fireworks shooting skyward will
form the words, Lincoln nominated"
Mr. Root will seat the various dele
gates as they were on the day of the
nomination in 1860, as near as he can
remember.
Preparations have been made for a
demonstration similar to that which
took place during the memorable
convention, and it is expected tha
many who took part fifty years ago
will come forward as periodically a!
they did when Chicago was but 100,
| 900 population.

SUFFRAGISTS WILL TOUR
WASHINGTON IN AUTOS

Spokane, Wash.-Washingto Po-
litical Equality league of which Mrs.
May Arkwright Hutton of Spokane, is
president, has plans under way for
tour of the state of Washington in
automobiles in the interest of the
suffrage movement. The campaign
will be under the direction of Mrs.
Hutton, who has just returned from
Washington, D. c., where she attend
ed the national woman's suffrage
convention, and Minnie Reynolds, who
assisted the women Of Colorado in
their successful fight for the ballot.
Mrs. Hutton believes that the men Of
the state Of Washington are broad
minded enough to grand the request
for the ballot to their mothers, wives,
sisters and daughters, adding: "An-
other reason is that 2'5 per cent Of the
vote is Scandinavian and in their home
land the women vote, so they will not
have to be won to our way of think
ing" Mrs. Hutton said there is suf-
ficient money pledged to carry out all
the plans for the campaign. which
will be continued until the state elec.
ton the coming fall.

that time it has been moving away
from the sun and toward the earth. Il
will be nearest the earth May 18,
when it will be 14,300,000 miles dist
ant. On that date the comet will pass
between the earth and the sun at
about 6 o'clock In the evening, Los
Angeles time. 1t will require about
so minutes for the nucleus Of the
comet to make its transit.
During the time the comet passes
between the earth and sun, the earth
also will be passing through the great
tail of the comet. At present the tail
is between 100000 and $4,000. 900
miles long, and at distance Of 49,
100000 miles from the head Of the
comet at the point the earth will pass
through it, the diameter Of the tail u
about 100000 miles. OF course, as
the comet moves away from the sun
the tail becomes smaller, but from
present calculation it VIII. take the
earth about ~ hours to pass through
it. Thus it will have passed COM
pletely through the tail by IL o'clock
the same night"
The comet will not be visible on that
date and will not be visible again un-
til about May 90. There probably win
be many shooting stars.

RAILROAD SOON WILL
REACH OLD GUATEMALA

Direct communication by rail from
San Francisco and Los Angeles to the
city of Guatamala is to be an accom-
plished fact in very few months,
says the Examiner. Once rail con-
nection is made with the Guatemalan
capital and the United States, an i'm
portant link in the uch-talked-of
Pan American railroad will be realiz-
ed, and great impetus given to that
extension through the Central Am
erican states to the isthums of Pana-
ma.
General Manager A. d. Shepard OF
the Pacific Improvement company has
returned from New York, where he
consulted with the company's presi-
dent, General Thomas H. Hubbard,
and got authority from him to make
arrangements for the extension of the
Guatemala Central railroad system
which is owned by the company, north
to the Mexican border. where it will
form connection with the Pan-Am-
erican.
The gap is only about twenty-six
miles long and 1t will not take long
to build the required piece of road
The filling-in of this gap will COM
plete a continuous rail line from Guat-
emala clear through Mexico and to all
points in the United States. Trans
fers of freight and passengers will
have to be made, however, at the
Mexican border, because the road in
Guatemala is a narrow gauge line.
The PanAmerican road runs south
to the border of southern Mexico on
the Tehauntepec road. The Pan-Am-
erican was built by D. p. Doak of this
city, and II. Louis and ]. M. Neeland
Of Los Angeles. They recently sold
1t to David Thompson for 10000
900. Until recently Thomson was the
American ambassador to Mexico. 1t
is believed he purchased the line for
the Mexican government.
The route from San Francisco and
Los Angeles by rail into Guatemala
will be by way of the Southern Pacif-
If to Ell Paso until the Southern Pa
cific completes it's Guaymas and Qua
dalajo road, which will connect at the
latter place with the Mexican Central
for the City Of Mexico.
In this connection 1t can be said
that once the Pacific Improvement
Company Of this city. which is owned
by the Crockers, Stanford estate, Gen.
eral T. H. Hubbard and Edwin F.
Searles, completes the rail connection
with the city of Guatemala, the ques-
tion of making its main line to that
city standard gauge will become
pressing.

VARIETIES OF CORN FLOWER
'nres Hundred and Fifty Different specimens In Existence, Accord.
 ing to Rotanists.

Germany adopted the corn flower As national institution many years ago, the adoption coming about mere V py way of popular choice. It is common flower all over Europe but tather more prolific in Germany than In any other of the countries graced by it.
 botanists tell us that there are no less than $50 varieties of the corn flower to be found, but the plant that IS 1ound in profusion in the realms or the kaiser is said to be the most beautiful of all. The Germans admire It Tor the richness of it's wreath-like circle Of outer florets and the splen- dors of its deep azure tints as it opeps to the sun.
 At one lime Ger1nan scientists at. trlDuted certain medicinal properties 70 the corn flower, and it's blue bios. homs were used also to some extent m domestic dyeing, but latteri, these properties are not so muck credited to it.
 Although Germany lays claim to ehe hnest of the species, America may boast also of some beautiful speci. mems of the corn flower. It is said to have been brought to this country nrst in the ballast of ships in the days ahtedating the modern ocean flyer, which ccrr'os only water bal. last In this country u .~ vaaousy known as the Bachelors Button, Corn Bottle, Witches Bellies or Thim. bsss, .SNe Bonnet. and Blue Poppy.

EXTINCT VOLCANO THEIR HOME
markable Industry of People of Saba.

Saba, in the West Indies, is one Lt world.
 By courtesy it is called an island, but it is really nothing more than the summit of an extinct volcano sticking up out of the sea. Inside the crater live the only inhabitants of Saba They live there because there is no- where else for them to live, the out side slopes being nearly as steep as the sides Of house.
 The place belongs to Holland, and the people are all Dutch. Neverthe- less, they speak English as their na town Bottom, because 1t is situated on top of mountain.
 Although surrounded on all sides by the sea, they often spend weeks with out seeing it, for that involves long climb up to the rim of the crater. Still less frequently do they touch salt water, because to do so they must, in addition, climb downward for q dis. tance of 1.500 feet by precipltous rock-hewn path, known as the Ladder
 It is, however, in regard to their staple industry that these Dutch pe0 pie who speak English, and who livs aloft in a volcano iu summit city called Bottom, reach the extreme of topsy-turvydom. One might imagine them making balloons or kites, or, in tact, anything but what they make, which is ships.
 Not ocean-goins liners, of course, but good, seryiceahie schooners and luggers, whose iepute is great all over the Windward islands. The ships. when finished, have to be hauled up 10 the rim of the crater and then lowered over a precipice into the sea.--StraS Stories
