Grand illumination,

 Grand Illumination
 Advances in illuminating methods made possible a plan of illumination at San Francisco undreamed of at St. Louis ten years ago. Thomas A. Edison said that it marked a new de- velopment which he would describe as art lighting. Theodore Roosevelt said the illumination was "the most won derful in history and the greatest glory of the exposition"
 The indirect system of lighting pre- viled throughout. The grounds were treated as if in reality they were a large stage and the trees, the shrubbery and the palaces mere bits of painted scen- cry. Lights Illuminating the build ings were shielded by transparent banners, decorated with Spanish col ors and designs, which reflected the glow against the palace walls and facades, and brought out the detail in soft relief to the great satisfaction of the sculptor, the artist and the architect and to the visitor. Upon the principal pieces of statuary, dOmes and minarets, searchlights, all hid den from the direct view of the visitor pointed their rays.
 Colored lighting was derived chiefly from two sources: from giant search lights before which were placed at different times screens of various tones of color and from the incandesceat lights concealed in the recesses of the columns and ref1ecting light upon nearby walls.
 Spectacular Effects.
 Unusual pyrotechnic effects by the Nf h yDIo+ Luminous shafts of light were used to picture Scotch plaids in the air, ''The birth of color,' ghost dance" the flying serpent" the "spooks' pa rade' and other spectacular effects were produced by means of fireworks, smoke bombs and the searchlights with their cOlored lenses
 Even the fog drifting in at times through the Golden Gate was dyed in all the tints of the rainbow by the searchlight shafts. From the hills of the northern part of San Francisco it seemed that the rays of these search lights spread out like a great fan with the exposition in the foreground Twenty-four of these light projectors have been sold to the Russian govern ment.
 The idea carried out in the general scheme of the palaces was the evol- ution of architecture from the Gre clan period to modern times Roman, Moorlsh, Spanish, Italian and French Renalssance ideas were ortrayed in the lines of the various buildings.
 Most Imposing Building. The most imposing buildings of all in the belief of almost all visitors was the Palace of Fine Arts. San Fran cisco some weeks ago inaugurated movement to preserve it as 2 monu- ment to the exposition To accom- = plish this it will be necessarv to get

RECAPTURE BOY BURGLAR.

Glcndon Tuthill, the 17-year- old
boy who burglarized "a number of rail-
road stations about year ago, has
been captured after making a success
full escape from the Industrial School
at Vergennes. He walked so miles
clad in a thin suit and wearing low
shoes to his home in Gilmore Though
his face and hands were swollen from
exposure, his clothing rain soaked
and his strength weakened from
want Of food. he has apparently suf
fered but little from his long walk.
Tuthill once before made an attempt
to leave the industrial school but was
apprehended before he got far. This
time he was practically exhausted
when he reached Elmore. 1t is ella i'm
ed that he broke into an express Of
fee on his way here this week in the
hope that he might find food. The
boy confessed about a year ago to
burglarizing several stations on the
st. Johnsbury and Lake Champlain,
Rutland and Central Vermont rail-
roads and previous to those exploits
he had confessed to looting the post
office at Stowe. 1t is believed by
many that the boy is suffering from
the effects of an injury received when
young. which may have caused Grim
inal tendencies to appear.

PUT FOREST IN MINES
Cost of Annual Timbering IL StaERer-
Ing Says Trade journal.

Nearly ninety million cubic feet Of tim
Der are placed In the anthracite mines
of Pennsylvania every year. II an esti-
mate in the Collery Engineer, recently
acquired by Coal Age. that the amount
of timber in anthracite mines Is approx.
mately one cubic foot for every ton of
coal mined, is correct. The timbered
gangways and drifts cover vast extent,
exceeding 1000 miles. and the closely tim
bered shafts with their miles OF heavy
guide timbers which must be constantly
replaced form a large item. The total
output since the beginning Of anthracite
mining is over 2,50O 900 900 tons.
A billion tons of water, or over eleven
times as many tons as the coal produced
during the year. must be pumped out Of
the anthracite mines every year. Accord
ing to James +. Roderick, chief Of the
Pennsylvania department of mines. the
timbering Is an even greater expense
than the pumping. The cost of placing
this vast forest below ground is stag
gering.
The cost of the material is given as
about 6.5 cent per cubic foot for round
timber and 20 cents per cubic foot for
sawed timber. At the lower figure this
would make 100000 cubic feet cost s.,
5000 In addition to this. there are mil
lions Of mine ties and heavy white oak
is used for the mine cars. The use of
steel timbers, which are being adopted
on account Of their longevity for main
gangways, turnouts, pump rooms. and
shaft and slope bottoms. will add to the
total cost Of mining for the next few
years, but will effect n final saving. Most
Of the timber now used in the anthracite
mines is yellow pine from tho South.

America will have to meet a new Du-

And in the contest the wasteful and ex-

These questions are to be considered at
