now being arranged and draperies of
various tints applied, so that each cam

1--WE wonder what the 'Forty-niner'
would say If to-day he stood at the
palace entrance and viewed the ship
ments of magnificent canvases which
have crossed with speed and safety
the great stretches over which he
and the pioneers journeyed with
maximum of suffering and months of
labor. No period in history records such
contrast. Seventy years ago only a
few miserable huts might have been
seen on the shores of San Francisco
Bay; to-day we behold a group or
palaces interviewer with the colors Of
the Orient. of an architecture about
which men ever dreamed but never
before viewed.
"It is early" continued Mr.. Browne,
ito fully chronicle the achievements in
art collection made here and abroad in
the last few months, but when the
galleries are hung and all is in order
visitors to the exposition will behold a
fine art assemblage unapproached by
any exhibition of the past and Offer
ing to the art lovers of the world
much that has never before been
displayed"
The galleries of Europe and America
have been ransacked for the largest
and most distinctive loan collection of
bronzes and statuary ever assembled
at world concourse. These works Of
art will be largely contemporaneous,
the display being limited to works pro-
duced during the decade past.
Advantage is taken of the mild Cali
fornia climate to have the gallery of
statuary out of doors in the shelter OF
the long colonnades. This display APP
propriately will be dominated by the
first statue ever dedicated to Mother
hood-a heroic group in bronze exc
cuted by Charles Crafty, which typifies
| the pioneer mother of gold seeking
| Argonauts.
In all THE uneXampled setting of
| architectural wonders and masterful
colors probably the Palace of Fine Arts
| will hold fast the eye Of the visitor
| much longer than is bestowed on any
| other single building within the ex-
position of 635 acres. The fine arts
/ gallery sits midway between the blue
waters of San Francisco Bay and the
| green and purple hills on which rests
the Preside Military Reservation. The
| place Is in itself one of Americas most
alluring worth while exhibits fixed in q
semi-tropical land of strange buildings
and magnificent ivony colored palaces
and long after this greatest of worlds
fairs is over it will be treasured in
memory. This palace Is likely t. stant
a monument to the grandeur of the
| best American men and women hav,
achieved in the fields OF industry
science, study and every other endeavor
AS the building rests on United
States army property its final DISPOSE
tion will be a matter for the War De
partment to determine. OF all the build
ings included within the City of States
and Nations the Palace Of Fine Art
has the aspect most strongly Of perma

GERMANY MAKES
FERTILIZER OF
NITROGEN in AIR
(By Associated Press)

BERLIN. German farmers will con-
tinue to feed the country without the
aid of oversee imports, in the opinion
of Prof. Gerlach, an authority in agri-
cultural chemistry. Speaking before
the German Agricultural Society al
its yearly meeting at Berlin he gave
details showing to what extent in 1914
and 1915 the yield of crops was in
creased by using sulphate Of ammonia
and cyanamide, a combination of at
mospheric nitrogen with calcium, as
fertilizers. In these fertilizers, he
says, German farmers have a fully
satisfactory substitute for the nitrate
of soda which they had been importing
to the amount of about 100000 tens a
year.
Prof. Gerlach regards the new in
dustry of extracting nitrogen from the
atmosphere as of great promise for
the future of the German food supply.
He said that the factories for its re-
covery, mostly begun since the out
break of the war, are now finished or
hOdIlAS SOulpiClfOn, dHu lHoS NhCn
they are all in operation they will pro-
duce yearly an equivalent of 100000
tons of pure nitrogen or already con-
siderably more than half of what was
formerly imported. A considerable
portion of this is now being used by
the military authorities for making
ammunition but will, after the war, be
available for fertilizing purposes.
Pending the increase Of the output
till all kinds of crops can be fertilized
by cyanamide, Prof. Gerlach advises
that it be used mainly for increasing
the grain yield; potatoes-the largest
crop by far produced in Germany
can do very well without a fertilizer,
as is proved by the splendid crop of
this year.

f1HEkTRIC AL OFFERINGS
Will OFFER new
PICCANINNY Bill

Josephine Gassman and her picca.
ninnies were greeted last night at the
Popular theater by another large auGi-
ence, and their act made q great hit.
Tonight the troupe will introduce an
entirely new program from beginning
to end, and in addition Manager
Hughes will put on complete change
of moving pictures. The vaudeville
act will Introduce new songs and
dances, and Miss Gassman and her
clever company will give some highly
entertaining coon songs and spe-
cialties.
There have in the past beer coon
singers without number, but Il has
remained for Miss GassnInn To impart
the exact quality of feeling AID ey-
preston, an indescribable something,
to carry the audience right OF to the
revels of the colored folk way down
in Dixieland.
Miss Gassman herself opens the act
with a well-performed study, and this
is followed by rollicking negro songs
and dances by the company. Each
item is amusing in the extreme, the
climax being reached when only Me,
little black girl, comes on the stage
and does a speciality all her own.
Each of the company in turn, by
duets and as troupe, sing, dance,
frolic and laugh in "coon" fashion to
the great enjoyment of the spectators,
and what adds materially to the per-
Torrance is the appropriate costum-
ing of the specialists.
Miss Gassman. who removed a glove
to show that the octoroon tint of her
face is artificial, initiated the colored
woman very cleyerly. The facial ex-
pressions and the roll of the eyes are
particularly attractive. Her songs are
sung for the most part in ragtime of
the real type and when she joins with
the piccaninnies in rollicking. go-as.

ence by storm.

A man and a woman dropped into a
small town and put up at the best hotel.
The next morning they secured a rig
each, and started over the country ask
ing the farmer folks for chickens for an
orphans home in ST. Louis. After
two days begging they sold the chick
ems to local produce man for $50 and
left town. Their loot included several
cash donations.
A variation of the scheme is for a
man, wearing some sort of badge, to
call On the farmers under the name OF
the Department of Health and demand
to see his poultry. After examination
he condemns twenty or thirty hens and
tells the farmer they will have to be
killed because they are diseased. He
very kindly offers to take the chickens
and do the killing himself. 1t the
farmer consents, the man takes the
chickens to the nearest commission
merchant and sells them. The scheme
is being worked all over the country.
II man or woman calls on you with a
demand that looks suspicious, call up
your local authorities and ask by what
right they are asking to inspect yonr
stock or poultry. When you get the
answer, turn them over to the police.

Biloxi, Miss, Aug. 8. Driven crazy
because he faced starvation and was
unable to further assist the babes of
his son, a soldier fighting for the honor
of France, Alphonse Bruchez, a 7S-
year-old Brenchman, i today, ,hurledmself
in front of a speeding Louisville
and Nashville passenger train and was
crushed to death.
In a little hut in Querens street, en-
the outskirts of the city, the body of
Bruchez was visited late tonight by
steady ,hrong of visitors, who paid
tribute to "the old man who gave his
life to his son and country"
AT the outbreak of the war Bruchez's
son joined the French army and left
his family without support. Stirred by
the sympathetic plight of his sons
children, the aged Frenchman COM
menced an economic life and, by say
ing practically all he earned, he was
enabled to support the family in
France. Business grew dull and the
income of the aged Frenchman became
gradually less. But Bruchez deprived
himself of even food that his sons
children might not suffer.
Finally he lost his position and was
unable to further contribute to the
support of his sons children. Wrap
ping his last penny in an envelope
and addressing it to his grandchildren,
Bruchez walked from the postoffice to
the railroad. Here he patiently awaited
the passenger train.
AS the tIain sped onward Brucnez
flung himself in front of the engine.
He was swung under the trucks and
ground to death before the engineer
could stop the locomotive.
Bruchez came to Biloxi twelve years
ago from France, and has no relatives
in this country.
