Those fortunate children who have
visited the great Panama Pacific ex-
position at San Francisco do not need
to be told of its beauties and wonders;
they have seen with their own eyes.
Those who contemplate going to the
fair have a great pleasure in store, for
all beholders unite In declaring 1t the
most gorgeous sight imaginable. Per-
haps some who have been there saw
the rare exhibits in the exposition's
continuous live stock show. Notable
among these are the long tailed Japa-
nese chickens, which are bred espe-
cially for the emperor of Japan and
whose valuation runs to as high as
$1,000 for a single bird. These chick
ems are housed in glass, this precau-
ton being necessary to preserve the
fine quality and sheen Of their feathers.
The picture shows a keeper holding
one of these remarkable birds in his
hand. As can be seen, the tail feath-
ers reach to the ground.

UTILIZE A NATURAL POWER
Volcanic Steam Found Valuable in
Italy for a Variety of USE
full Purposes.

Clouds of sulphurous vapors fill the
air in the region about Lardarello. in
northern Tuscany, Italy, and the oder
of hydrogen sulphide is plainly no.
ticeable for miles around. Many hot
springs are also to be found in this
volcanic region and numerous jets Of
steam at pressures as high as three
and half atmospheres and with tenn
peratures up to $50 degrees F. flow
from assures and crevices in the
earth. The springs of the region and
this steam are strongly impregnated
with boric acid, which is extricated at
Lardarello in plant which utilizes
the steam for generating power and
for supplying heat in the various proc
esses in which heat is required.
In the generation of power at the
boric acid plant the steam is con-
Quoted into low-pressure cylinder en-
gines which drive the various kinds OF
machinery in use. A similar engine
is used for driving dynamo which
generates electricity for lighting the
plant and the homes of the people
living in the vicinity. The natural
steam is also used by the people OF
Lardarello for heating and cooking
purposes It is now believed that the
heat of the steam will soon prove to
be of greater value than the boric
acid produced.-The Pathfinder.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Syracuse, N. Y.-Theodore Roose-
welt admitted under cross-examination
Monday in the suit for alleged libel
which William Barnes has brought
against him that while governor he
had freely consulted the Boss" OF
the Republican party in New York
state in reference to the appointment
of officials in the state government,
and various legislative and political
matters. The "BoSs" named was
represented New York in the United
States Senate.
The former President said he took
the advice of the senator in many
matters, among them appointing
Democrat to the office of tax commits
sioner, ito please Grady whom the
Colonel described as a lieutenant
boss of Richard Croker, then leader
of Tammany hall.
The testimony resulted from Ques-
tions asked after letters of series
that passed between Roosevelt and
Platt had been read to the jury.
In one letter Col Roosevelt asked
the senator's advice about making
speeches; in another Senator Platt
told the colonel he had received a
copy of bill introduced by Grady, in
which the senator said he considered
it inadvisable to give Tammany from
100000 to $12,000,O0O on an appro-
priation to expend upon the water
front of New York as "it would be
simply putting an unnecessary club in
the hands of those people, with which
to knock our brains out"
And, in the last letter read, which
was dated in 1901, Col. Roosevelt told
the senator that he did not want to
be vice president of the United States,
as it was not an office in which he
could do anything; but he would like
to be governor of New York for an
other term.
