To the visitor not Of a scientific turn
Of mind the use Of the jewel aids will
no doubt, seem the most remarkable of
the various lighting effects.
The Jewels are large imitation d.a-
monds, forty-sevcn millimeters in dia-
meter. suspended from metal clasps
upon the various palaces. In the Tower
of Jewels, 43O feet in height, hundreds
of thousands of various Colors will be
used.
1t was found that the only country in
which glass sufficiently hard To pro-
ducc the desired effect Of iridescencr
was made was Austria. So in the great
glass factories Of that country these
jewels were moulded and the facets
shaped. Aftcrward they were farmed
out among peasant families to be hand
cut and polished The result is a jewel
which flashes and scintillates with al
most the splendor of n genuine da-
mond
Before the present shape and size
Of jewel was finally selected thousands
of dollars were expended upon expert
mentation, and the Office of the illumi-
mating engineer of the exposition is
stocked with hundreds of jewels which
at one time or another were tentatively
selected until at last the jewel now being
used was proved to have the greatest
brllliancy.
The principal colors used win be ca
nary, white. emerald. ruby and aqua
marine. They will be adjusted in such
manner that they will sway with the
natural vibration Of the buildings and
swing briskly under the influence of
even a light breeze. At night batteries
of searchlight projectors will be Played
upon them.
/ The scintillator, in a modified form,
was Experimental with during the Hud-
son-F Fulton celebration and since has
been perfected to a high degree At the
exposition it will consist OF a battery of
! forty-eight SO inch searchlight projec-
tors, a larger number of that size. by
! the way than lis possessed by the United
States navy.
Glass slides Of every color of the spec
| trum win be placed before the battery
and innumerable color combinations
formed. At night it will play a light
symphony entitled THE Dance of the
Light God" upon the fog banks Incl
dental to the falling OF night in San
Francisco. This will be one OF the big
feature spectacles of the exposition. The
symphony is described as being as per-
feet in visual expression and sentiment
as musical composition Is to the ear.
Pyrotcchnic displays and set pieces.
Of fireworks have been much advertised
features of previous eXpositlons and
have always attracted large crowds
nightly. At the Panama Pacific as a
substitute for such things an ingenious
scheme will be used in conjunction with
the scintillator.
Large steam pipes, perforated, will he
arranged in the form Of various deni-
zens of the land, sea and air: genli,
demons. plumes and flowers. Steam
under high pressure will be forced
through these perforations and will as
sumo shape, waver and dissolve into the
darkness above, all Of the time being
illuminated by the scintillator. An in
teresting fact in connection with this is
that steam jets under the rays of pure
white light will present many hucs and
colors. Under the combination of tints
from the scintllator the effects will be
lgreatly enhanced.

The lighting effects which will be pro-
duCed at the exposition will appeal to
every visitor. The general scheme
which will transform the exposition into
an ridescent fliryland is novel. Every
device of stagecraft has been applied in
preparing the plans.
In general the illumination scheme is
divided into three essential parts: first,
the flood lighting system; second the
jewel aids, and third, the scintilator and

appeal 10 the popular Imagination most.
The flood lighting system is based
upon the fact long recognized in the
theatre, that the greatest effect is pro-
duced where the sources of the ligl
were hidden from the spectators With
this idea firmly fixed in mind the engi-
neers have regarded the exposition as
being "A great stage, with the palaces

out. and on Labor Day this fall, the
great sweepstakes that will rivet the
attention of all race lovers will be
held for purse of $4,000.
ON the reinforced track with its
great banks at the turns a speed of
125 miles an hour can be attained.
The races held in California, Florida
and other states will all be distanced
by the events carded for Detroit; /;
leading makers will outdo themselves
to place in the races cars to excel in
every way those of the past. The
convenient location of Detroit means
that throngs will attend who cannot
afford TO take the long trips hitherto
necessary for these most interesting
events.
The mammoth grandstands will ac-
commodate fully 10000 people, and
auto parking privileges will take care
of 10000 more. making the Detroit
speedway the largest assembly in the

ANGQRA RABBIT

London.-"What is home without an
Angora rabbit" This is the motto
which vii henceforth adorn the home
Of Mr.. Franklin Mott Gunther and Mr..
j. H. Stabler, of the American embassy
here, as a symbol of their first expert.
ence in joint housekeeping in London.
Both Mr.. Gunther and Mr.. Stabler
recently decided that club life could
not compare with the comforts of a
happy home" so together they took
house at 81 Lower Belgrave street,
in one of the exclusive residential Sec
tions. With the house went the furni-
ture, and with the furniture went an
unexcelled matronly cook and an An.
CORA rabbit The rabbit was a great
pet, and the American diplomatists
agreed to show it every consideration
and incidentally return it to the owner
when the lease expired.
All went we'll until Mr. Gunther con-
ceived the idea Of helping out the dec
orations of the dining room with some
unframed rare Japanese prints which
he treasured. One of the prints was
of a lettuce on a green background He
returned home the other evening to
find the print gone and the rabbit dead.
The cook was beartbroken and the
house owner was notified. A cloud
hung ever the "happy home" which it
seemed nothing would dissipate.
Matters continued this way for sew
eral days until last evening, when in
the midst of little private supper a
loud outcry was heard from the kitch-
en-, followed by crash of dishes when
the cook fell PROSTATE to the floor.
Near by, doing jaunty bunny walk"
was an Angora rabbit, apparently look
ing for more paintings on the wall
Mr.. Gunther said today that the cook
had recovered, but fully believes In
the resurreC ton of the dead. Mr.
Gunther and Mr.. Stabler believe that
Angora rabbits, like cats, have nine
lives, but there is report at the EN-
bassy that one Of the attaches, after
the sad fate of the first rabbit, had
succeeded in getting one more like 1t
than the original itself and that it
was surreptitiously smuggled into the
house last night. Anyway, the rabbit
is we'll and happy today and Mr.
Gunther has taken his Japanese prints
from the dining room.

cHuRNs BUTTER WITH AUTO.
Chauffeur Makes Great Discovery
with MiIk-Cooled Machine.

SnduHcur Makes ITcat discovery
with Milk-CooIed Machine.
1t has been discovered here that an
automobile can be used effectively as
butter churn and that the butter can
be churned while the machine Is
speeding along the road in the per-
formance of other duty. The discov-
erer is Warren Schelling, chauffeur
for Charles Spohr, dairyman on the
Jacksonville turnpike. 1t is thought
that within six months every dairy
farm In this section of New Jersey will
be churning butter by the auto pro-
cess, and that Schelling will be hailed
throughout the countryside as a great
benefactor of womaukind. Like many
other discoveries, this one was made
by accident. Truly, in this instance,
necessity was the mother of invention.
Sche. ling, who was driving the Spohr
anto-milk wagon, ran out of water on
the way from the farm to Caldwell to
ship milk and cream to market. The
vestigated the water cooler he dis
covered 1t was empty. Besides, he was
far from any water supply.
I've read some place." he said to
himself. that normally milk consists
of 96 per cent water, 5 per cent sub
stances which produce muscle and 8
per cent fat. That is not as good as
cucumbers, which are 81 per cent wa
ter. or even as good as turnips, which
are 94.4 per cent water. However, as
cucumbers are out of season, and the
farmers have buried their turnips, l
guess I'll have to fall back on milk,
SO here goes"
He lifted a can, poured In the yell

his way to Caldwell again. That town
almost was in sight when the machine
baked again. Schellirg opened the
water cooler and discovered he had

Abandoning his butter-clogged ma

DISAPPEARING TULE LAKE
The Water Is Rapidly Failing and
Tremendous Whirlpool Has
Formed

The water OF Tule Lake is rapidly
falling, and a tremendous whirlpool
has formed just off Scorpion Point,
through which the water is passing
with a deafening roar that can be
heard a great distance. Below Is ap-
parently great channel underground
through which the waters find out
let beneath the Modoc lava beds and
thence through the drainage of Fall
River to Pitt, and finally on to the
ocean through the Sacramento and
San Francisco Bay.
1t has long been held by geologists
that Tule Lake has an underground
outlet and that Fall River which
bursts from a gushing spring in Mod
oc county. Cal, is the vent Last
spring the lake water reached high
er level than has ever been known
since the country was settled, and
bordering farms were inundated. For
several days the water has been re-
ceding, and Investigation revealed
the new outlet. Should the vent en-
tirely drain the body Of the lake it
will add $4,000 acres OF irrigaole
land to the project and at saving
of hundreds of thousands of dollars
to the people of the klamath Basin,

er will be rendered unnecessary.
