Theater in Turkish Village. I didn’t attempt to kodak the fair until Thad been there @ week and had acquired & general idea of the buildings and the “lay of the land.” To do otherwise, and take snaps from day to day as subjects oc- cur to one, would be inordinately expen- ve and bothersome, because one would we {0 get @ permit each day and tug his €amera around with him. In my seven days’ previous visits to the fair I had kept an eye constantly open for kodak effects, &nd so on the eighth day, when the sun grose in spotless splendor without a cloud in the heavens, and the newspapers pre- dicted absolutely perfect weather, I de- eided to devote eight hours exclusively to Practical photography. First securing from an establishment in- aide the grounds a roll of sixty spaces of sensitive film, in leu of unhandy plates, and above all a permit, I started out in high spirits and” with a firm resolve to do the whole fair or drop in my tracks. It had been my intention to try fome Interiors In addition to outdoor views, but in the course of the day I abandoned the idea as impracticable. Tripods are not S Pe ePuProoapenn Tprpcey admitted to the grounds, and hence to take successful pictures without them, one is compelled either to make snap exposures While holding his camera in his hands or else to rest it upon some firm object high enough to get the desired elevation. In some of the larger exhibit buildings one can Fest his instrument readily enough against a fr ndly pillar or upon a show c but stant movement of people back and il in most instances spoil the pic- tures. Consequently I confined myself wholly to snap shots in the sunshine out of @oors.

When the Best Effects Con Be Seenred It happens that at 9 o'clock in the morn- fing, when the light {s sufficiently intense for instantaneous views, the sun stands south of east, at midday somewhat south of the merfdian, and after 5 In the after- noon considerably to the northwest. It happens also that the best effects with cer- tain buildings and groupings are obtained | hen the sum shines in a particular direc- tion. In striving to secure these effects, therefore, I found it necessary in many in. Stances to traverse the same ground twice and make my exposures when the sun got | into the right position. For example, start- ing in the Midway Plaisance, I took all the sketches I wanted along the north side when the sun shone from the southeast, and returning there after 5 o'clock, I took such others as I wanted on the south side, with the sun shining from the northwest, On this account, alsc, I found that views of ihe peristyle, the Columbian fountain, and buildings facing the court of honor ‘were best caught early in the morning or late in the afternoon, while the Art Gailery, from | the lower side of the North Pond, the Ilin- ois building from across the lagoon, 2nd the Government building from the Wooded | Island were best secured in the forenoon, near midday. Out of Plumb. Another important fact which the ko- daker must bear in mind, unless he is pro- vided with a recti-linear lens, is that all of the larger buildings must be taken from @ considerable elevation in order to get the Proper arrangement of the perpendicular lines. If a tall structure close at hand is taken from the ground level the lines are sure to be grotesquely warped, and con- tiguous buildings will be made to appear in the act of toppling over to meet it, as if upheaved by an earthquake, For this rea- son I found the best view of the California building could be had from the top story of the Wisconsi iding, and that the only satisfactory view of the huge manu- factures and liberal arts building obtain- able with a kodak was to be had from the roof of the women’s building, a quarter of @ mile away, across the Wooded Island. In Midway Plaisance. In the Midway Plaisance the Turks, Moors, Egyptians, Persians and Arabians | are on the lookout for the kodaker and have | marked him for their own. In my hurry | and rash enthusiasi I started in by brib- ing certain unique specimens of these orfen- tals to pose for me, believing that by get- Persian Theater. ting them to arrange themselves in uncon- ventional attitudes I could give a charm to my pictures, especially in the foregrounis, which otherwise would be wanting. Just as I was determining upon the scope of an in- teresting scene in the Turkish village J noticed a squad of sleek Turks in front of me, smoking cigarettes in the shade. I blandly requested them to step out in the sunshine for a moment to adorn my fore- ground. They complied with celerizy, but the instant they heard the click of my’ but- ton they hurried toward me with extended palms, exclaiming, “Present! present!” with @ strong accent on the last syllable. I dis- tribute opin them all the loose change I bad in my pocket before they let me depart in peace. Again, while focusing the Exyp- tian temple, [ spied an admirabie specimen of the dweller on the Nile walking into view. He drew too close to me nefore I was ready to snap the button, so I asked him to step back and walk forward again. He put out his hand, palm upward, and only when I covered it’ with coin did he condescend to retrace his steps. After a few more in- cidents of this kind I concluded I should be bankrupt if I pursued that policy further, a0 I abandoned it forthwith. Some Kodak Gem: Among the gems of pictures that awalt the kodaker in the white city are the Cal- {fornia House, with {ts beautiful old Span- ish mission architecture; the many-spired buildings of the Cafe de Marine, the fisher- ies building, from rising ground on the southeast, the south canal from the portico of the Intramural railway station, the Obe- Usk from the colonnade at the south, the Convent la Rabida from the west, the wind- mills on the banks of the south pond, the cliff dwellings and the Yucatan ruins, the peristyle, the court of honor and McMonies Living Bill Board in Midway. horticultural building from the south, taking in the lagoon, and particularly a combina- tion view obtainable from the public com: fort building, Just north of the women’s building,embracing in one group the lagoon, the Brazilian building. the Cafe de Marine and the fisheries building, with numberless little turrets and domes and towers in the far distance. In the Midway the most picturesque bits, perhaps, are the Donegal Castle and Blar- ney Castle, the Persian theater, Old Vienna, the Algerian theater, the Egyptian temple, the Hawalian cyclorama, the Moorish pal- ace and the Turkish village. Here there 1s a constant mingling and interflowing of crowds, a babel of nations, and to the en- thusiastic amateur these crowds furnish su- perb subjects for snap shots, especially when set against a background novel landscape and odd architecture. ‘The Official Photographs. Considering the almost bondiess facili- ties offered by the fair for taking good photographs, it is surprising, even as- tounding, that the official department of photography makes so little use of its monopoly. The official pictures of the fair displayed for sale on the grounds are ab- Moorish Palace and Theater. surdly inadequate and unworthy of their subjects. No attempts seem to have been made to catch the passing life and motion of the fair, and as a rule the buildings se- lected are photographed separately and suiy from the front or side only, whereas if grouped: and combined with discretion and artistic skill effects could be produced that would be beautiful. It would seem that the official department of photography confines its activity to preventing any- body taking good photographs rather than to taking or trying to take good ones itself. None but hand camerar are permitted on the grounds at all, and even hand cameras are disbarred unles: the pictures that can be taken with them come within the limits of four by five Inches. ‘This limitation of the size of one’s cam- eras, to prevent competition, is no doubt a proper rule, from the standpoint of the Management, and the exaction of a permit to use even’a small camera is an admit- tedly wholesome regulation—for without some such restriction the amateur pho- tography business would become @ crying and intolerable nuisance to visitors; but why is it that the kodaker, after he has cheerfully paid for his permit, should be subjected to a systematic course of nag- ging and tagging and bedeviling and bad. gering all day ‘long, and all over the grounds by Columbian guards and _pho- tographic department agents and secret service detectives, can be explained only upon the theory that the management de- sires the public to buy official photographs, bad as they are. I was hel@ up in the grounds by these ple not less than a dozen times, mostly In an offensive manner, during the day I took my pictures. The “Columbian Guards as a class are good fellows and behave as itlemen. They merely ask you if you ave the required permit. But the photo- graphic agents and secret service detectives are of an entirely different stripe. The secret service detectives, particularly, im- press you as being hoodlums and loafers Fecruited from the slums of Chicago, and they come at you with the assumption that of course you are breaking the rules and are not provided with a permit.Then, after thoroughly examining your permit, | they will proceed to give you gratuitous ad- | ¥ice about wearing your permit on your | person.” Most people prefer not to have a placard hung on them,it they know ft. Nevertheless, despite all the vexations and annoyances that beset the kodaker at the fair, it is still a delight and a precious boon to secure such pictures of your own, of things you are personally interested in and want to remember, of scenes that will always remind you of your experiences at the fair, and which you can keep as perma- ment souvenirs all your life. ———+-— HE GOT sUE, And He Explains How He Accomplish- ed That Object. From the Detroit Free Press, Every one of us on the car spotted them for a bridal couple as they got on at a small station, but there was that about the groom that claimed every one’s atten- tion; he had a pair of badly bruised and blackened eyes and a skinned nose. It was plain that he had had a fight, and we were all curious, and an hour later, when he went to the smoking car sev- eral of us followed on and asked him for an explanation. “Yes I had a fout,” he said, as he lighted his briar-root. “I had to hev a fout to get Sue.” “There was a rival, then? ‘Reckon not. Never seen any rivals ‘round Nobody but me and Sue and her folk: ‘But who did you fight with?” ue’s pop, of course.

Wild Hog the Only Survivor of a Treacherous Cheye! Band. From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Wild Hog is the name of a Cheyenne chief, albeit he is a chief without a tribe. About fourteen years ago his name was known all over the United States, and for weeks millions of people looked in the morning papers daily to see what he was doing. For a time he filled western Kansas and Nebraska with terror. Now he resides at Pine Ridge Agency, and is one of the poorest Indians on the reservation. In January, 1879, Wild Hog and the tribe of Cheyenne Indians of which he was chief were removed to the Indian territory. Be- coming dissatisfied with their new homes they broke out, and, under the leadership of Wild Hog, struck out northward through Kansas and Nebraska. Many depredations were committed on the way. The Indians killed about forty citizens, outraged ten women and destroyed nearly $10,000 worth of property. Wild Hog always claimed that this deviltry was the work of a few youn; bucks who were beyond his control, an that they escaped to the reservation. Dur- ing the flight northward the United States army was always about one day behind the Indians. Finally Wild Hog and about 200 warriors, together with their women and children, went into Fort Robinson and sur- render Inducements were offered the Indians to return to the Indian territory, but they refused to do so. Finally they were disarmed, but in the effort to do so several soldiers and more Indians were killed. Wild Hog was put in irons and con- fined in the guard house. The other In- dians, including their wives and children, were confined in a long, low log building which had previously been used as a bar- racks. Upon their continued refusal to go back peaceably to the Indian territory an effort was made to subdue them bij starvation. They were deprived of food, water and fuel and closely guarded. But they were tough, and even after several days, which must have been ones of suf- fering, were still obdurate. It was sup- eS that they were Cad disarmed, ut in some manner they had been able to retain a few revolvers. After a few days of seemingly quiet sub- jection the vigilance of the soldiers was in @ measure relaxed, and the guard reduced to six in number. Suddenly in the night these were shot down, every one of them being killed outright or disabled. The In- dians then rushed out and fled up Soldier Creek canon. The breaks and hills of Pine Ridge were about half a dozen miles away, and it was the hope of the Indians to reach them before the sleeping soldiers could overtake them. It was a wild race across the ice and snow. Many of the In- dians were barefooted and left a trail of blood. Incumbered with their women and children, they made slow progress. The garrison, aroused by the shots that de- stroyed ‘the guards, were soon in pursuit. Capt. Wessel of the third cavalry was in command. They came upon the Indians in a little ravine or coolie about two miles north of the fort. They made a stand and fought bravely, but were without arms, and the rifles of the cavalry made short work of them. After the soldiers had ex- hausted all their ammunition there were yet a few live Indians, and these were cut down ith the sword. Wild Hog’s tribe was wiped out. Not a man, woman or child was left of the en- tire band. But Wild Hog was safely locked up in the guard house at Fort Robinson, and that is how he comes to survive—a chief without a tribe. ‘NERVOUS headaches promptly cured by Bromo-Seltzer--irial bode 10 ca IN THE BREAKERS. Preparations for the Light Infantry at Atlantio City. NEWS FROM THE BEACH. Washingtonians, to Be Found at the Hotels. ON THE BOARD WALK. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., August 17, 1898. VERYTHING IS ready now for the receptign of the Light Infantry when they make their ap- pearance here next Saturday night, and the boys in blue will be tendered an en- thusiastic reception, despite the lateness of the hour at which they arrive. A final meeting of the citi- zens’ committee was held last Saturday evening, and the last arrangements per- fected. The infantry will be met at the depot by the committee, the Morris Guards, and company F, N. J. N. G., and will be gacorted therefrom to the camping grounds at the foot of Delaware avenue. It was in- tended at first to indulge in a short parade on the avenue before reaching the St, Charles’ lawn, but the boys will not feel much in condition to march any distance after thelr long ride, and the line of march will be as direct as possible to the camping grounds, where the tents will be ready to Teceive ‘the tired soldiers. No soclal ar- Tangements have been made for Saturday night, so the boys can turn in at once and be ready in the morning for a dip in the ocean. There are a large number of Washing- tonians here now, and they will afd in making the time pass pleasantly for their crack military company. There will be no dearth of social entertainment pro- vided, as besides the affairs arranged s- peclaily for the infantry, there are taking place every evening hops at pretty nearly all of the big hotels and amusements of all the varieties which go toward making up the summer whirl here. Chairman Samuel D. Hoffman of the citizens com- mittee is a popular man with the W. L. 1, and during his reign as mayor itere on their last visit made things pleasant for them. Treasurer John E. Mehrer of the committee is an old soldier rejoicing under the title of “colonel” and is fully aware just how to show the boy: best of time. A Busy Crowd. Last Sunday was the banner day of the season so far, though from appearances it will be excelled by the coming Lori's Day. On the boardwalk there was a moving mass of nappy humanity intent on seeing everything there was to be seen, pushirg and jostling their way along with the rest. Those among the beach front merchants who habitually remain open on Sunday reaped a golden harvest, particululy on the lower part of the boardwalk, where the excursionist was out in force and vig¢rous- ly aided in depleting the stock of the busi- hess man, leaving in return therefor sun- dry dollars of his hard-earned mcney. These enterprising merchants were not slow in charging, either, for the rst part of the season was a little hackwird with them, and in the remaining weexs the: are bound to make a bold effort to retrenc their losses. But as long as the purchasing excursion- ist did not object why should any one else, and therefore the charging of two or three prices for articles worth one did not prove Much of a subject for comment, Estimat placed the number of people here Saturday evening and during the day Sunday at about from 125,000 to 125,000, a sufficiently extensive figure to keep things moving lively. The railroads have a regular harve: with the crowd, which is composed m of one-day stayers, ly % and the same trains that brought them’ down in the mornii took them back in the evening, a tired an dusty lot, with the sand sticking to their clothes and carefully guarded, that tt might not be brushed off. The people at home, you know, must see that they have been down to the sea shore. If it were not for the presence of thou- sands on the board walk and elsewhere it uld seem as if the entire muititude of strangers was-in bething these warm Aug- ust mornings, so dense is the usual throng in the water. Long before the noon hour these days the bath house proprietor is usually exhausted of his big supply of good suits and dealing out those about whose strength and power of resistance to the force of the waves there 1s some uncer- tainty. The costumes are usually selzo1 in a hurry and serve the bathers pretty wel though in one instance the other day lady was seen hastily escaping from the waier holding on to the skirt, after ex- claiming that all the buttons had broken of Harrity on a Bieycle. There 1s no better place on the tslend from which to enjoy to the fullest the cool ocean breeze than the upper deck of the iniet pavilion, where hundreds congregate daily, and where there is always obtainable @ beautiful and unobstructed view of the ocean. All day long and far into the even- ing the cars going up to this part of the island are filled with pleasure seekers, and though there are ordinarily enough cars on duty yet at times they are hardly sufficient in number to accommodate the throngs. The bicycle railway up in this section of the island is proving one of the main a tractions, and 1s a most profitable enter- prise. All manner and conditions of me: from the greatest to the comparatively un- known, patronize the scheme, and delight in pushing themselves through the air at a rapid pace. Chairman Harrity of the national demo- cratic committee was one of the patrons an early day this week, and any one who would have seen the genial politician would have at once come to the conclusion that while he was down here at the sea shore he was here strictly for rest and recreation and not to be bothered with political ques- tions, even in these troubled times, In the first place, Mr. Harrity lets very few peo- ple know where he stops when down here, and his discretion in keeping his abiding place a secret to the great majority un- doubtedly saves him innumerable worries. When he is In Atlantic City he devotes him- self to his interesting family, and caters in all possible ways to their enjoyment, Bathing Costumes. Promenading on the sand in a bathing suit still holds its own as an especial fea- ture of the bathing hour, and particularly so since the recent decrees of Dame Fash- fon allow of more individuality on the part of fair owners of bathing robes, giving them numberless opportunities of showing the bent of their mind as regards this in- dispensable accessory to a bath. Some of the costumes worn are decidedly novel in comparison with the standard lue robe, and are calculated to present the best chance for the display of the wearer's charms. Freedom of motion, it is Co es by the fair bathers, was interfered with by @ cohsequence, they robe extended to three or four inches above the knee, and show- ing underneath a pair of snugly fitting knickerbockers, voted the proper thing, numbering its followers by the hundred: There is less dependence than form on the suits provided by the bath hou: keepers, and most of the feminine bathers are possessed of their own sults. Bright colors seem to be the rule, and present vivid contrast with the conventional blue robe. One of the most unique suits of this kind seen on the beach this week was worn by a young Philadelphia belle. The bodice and skirt were of a brilliant red, with knickerbockers of the same hue, while are Washingtonians stopping at the Stick- ney.

Prospectors Find the Fluid in Wells— A Puzzzle for Scienists. From the San Francisco Examiner. They dig electricity out of the ground nowadays in Oakland. Wells containing electricity of sufficient force to run an ordl- ry light works have been dug, and it looks as though the prophecy of the board of trade, that the soil of Oakland is capable of wonders, has come to pass. The electricity that they dig out of Oak- land's substrata has never been assayed to See how much it is worth in gallon lots or quarts, and nobody has yet suggested put- ting it up in hermetically sealed bottles to feed the baby on, but the supply is unlim- ited, and as soon as storage-battery electric cars become popular a new company may be formed to Peddie the output of the city’s electric wells in five-gallon lots, with a pat- ent faucet can thrown in. Electricians are astonished, They have seen two wires coming out of the ground, and have watched in amazement the mant- festations that these two current conduct- ors produce. They have seen sparks of electricity fly from these wires; have seen buzz saws cut wood when attached to the supply in the wells, and have seen a whol house lighted with giow lamps that were served with electricity out of the bowels of Oakland, ‘Then they put their heads together, ex- amined the strata underlying the munic- ipality, and they explained the strange occurrences that they witnessed by long sclentific dissertations on how leaky sewage and the extract of Oakland's dumps, com- bining with salt sea water, oozed through the sandy strata of Oakland and formed complicated corrosions with magnetic iron |and carbon, which exist in small deposits all over the'city. These explanations seemed satisfactory, and so everybody who. has been accustomed to denounce the West Oakland marsh has now Jost sight of its unhealthy condition in their pleasure at-the prospect of Oakiand’s new enterprise. The wells are located in Peralta street, but, like the artesian water enthusiast, there are hundreds of property owners anx- fous to tap the source of the city’s under- | ground electric supply. With a permanent ‘supply of chemically pure electricity. in | their yards they see p-ospects of untold wealth. They can peddle it out for medi- cinal purposes, sell it for cooking purposes, or furnish the state enough in cast-iro | tanks for the electrocution of criminals, These are possibilities of the future, and the very thought of it has developed enough interest in electrical science to create & | Seneral demand for Looks that explain how electricity can be harnessed and driven through tandem dynamos. With electricity bubbling out of the ground in Oakland the Athens of the Pa- cifle will be able to give the natural gas towns of the coast cards and spades and then take all the points in the game. AS electricity will travel an unlimited distance over wires Oakland may soon become @ huge electric battery, from which all the citles and towns of ‘the state will derive | their sources of light, heat and powe>, All that will be necessary will be to plant two wires in the ground in Oakland and the electricity will flow continuously. ‘The process is the invention of Michael Emme, a practical electrician. living at 113 Peralta street, and who has already organized the Emme Ground Electric Gen- erator Company Emme is a wizard in his way, and his home looks like the abiding place of some | Strange genius rather than the home of @ [human being. He stvdies his electrical books under” an incandescent electrical | light, while in front of him on a table ts a | mintatuge electric buzt saw, steamship pro- j bellers, Yans and biowers, all in motion and making such a hum that the apartment resembles a machine shop more than a | study room. The electricity for all these manifestations comes out of holes dug in Mr. Emme's back yard. The supply ts inex- haustible, and it’ is as easy to generate | 1.090 hozsepower as it is to supply enough | fluid to light a one-candle-power lamp. Instead of glass batterice Mr. Emme just | digs holes in the ground and puts in plates | of carbon and sheets of zine. Then he fills | the holes up with sawdust and connects his | Plates tocether as any ordinary battery Is connected. When he pours water slightly adulterated with acid on this sawdust the electricity Is found. From this battery he runs two uncovered wires undergzound as far as he pleases, and they carry the electricity as far as he wants it to go. FOR A YOUNG MAIDEN. More Liberty 1s Allowed to a Girl in Her Tee: ‘The latest novelty in hats is a colored | straw, trimmed with mousseline de sole of @ contrasting color, that ts gathered to cover the entire brim, and then falls over in a flounce about the head. Vells are still worn about the same— gathered on the brim of the hat all around, so that they will fall gracefully and loosely in front. A Parisian oddity is an old- fashioned vell hanging long in front; the embroidered ends are brought up at the side and fall there, almost hiding the face; then they are fastened at the bust. A Pretty Muslin Hat. In this matter of hat flouncing and vells the very young girl has decidedly the most liberty. She may trim her hat almost as she pleases, and the trimming may droop over her face to a great extent and excite no comment. She may wear the biggest of big sunbonnets or the queerest of pokes, and will be voted always charming. A few years added to her and she would be eccentric, odd or peculiar. But so long as the youthful bloom is on ber cheek no one could dream of objecting. This maiden wears a finely shirred mus- lin hat, with a big flounce that falls softly all around. At the front she has a bow, partly musiin and partly velvet, that stands gally over the brim. Her cape, too, 1s on the simple order, fall- ing from @ yoke of white embroidery and apsinthe color cloth, alternated: a big Fuche of green joins the yoke an ie cape, whic! 1s also of the delicate green shade. "A knot of black velvet loops catches the fronts. the stockings were of the brightest color of blue. To complete the uniqueness of the costume a pair of white bathing slippers covered her neatly formed feet. She was the cynosure of all eyes until she entered the water, when her individuality became lost in the multitude of bathers. ‘The great fistic meeting at NewOrleans last September was recalled to the minds of many when John L. Sullivan and James J. Corbett appeared here within one night of each other. The former champlon came here Monday night in his play, “The Man From Boston,” and was well receli ed. Corbett was present the evening fol- lowing at a boxing contest at the Grand Opera House and occupied a prominent position on the stage. He was enthusias- tically cheered and made a little speech, in which he touched on his coming bout with ‘Mitchell.

Also Many Interesting Things From Japan, Including Its Hooden or ‘Temple and Davy Crockett Cabin, Correspondence of The Evening Star. CHICAGO, August 16, 1893. EFORE I CAME TO the fair I had only seen one mention in print of the Wooded Island, and tn that article its charms as ‘@ resort in the even- ing from which to view the itlumina- tions were set forth in glowing terms. In point of fact the court of honor is the attractive spot in general way evening visiters, the focusing the interest st there, though I cen e the island ight lock, very beautiful deserted am It would be by the crowd. By daylight it ts a very pretty place if one takes time to explore it, and even if only a hurried walk ig taken over it on the way to somewhere else its charms are apparent. The island really belongs to the horticultural depart- ment and much expense and labor have been expended on its display of shrubs and flowers in connection with that exhibit. In May the show of rhododendrons was very fine and each later month has shown some specialty in the many flower beds. When I was taking one of my first walks there I suddenly found myself surrounded by roses and then I remembered hearing vaguel of @ “rose garden” on the Wooded Isiand, and there it was, too pretty for anything. Dresden gardeners have this in charge and very quaint the arrangement looks to our eyes; large beds are laid out symmetrically, with’ walks between them, and the roses are trained in two ways, el , low bushes, looking exactly like debutantes’ ouquets and not much larger, or they are allowed to grow tall—four or five feet in helght—and all foliage and flowers trimmed off except a great bunch at the top, looking like a small tree in bloom. Roses Are Magnificent. ‘The roses themselves are magnificent and were in their prime early in July. Such perfect, large, pink and crimson roses I have seldom seen and never in such quant- ities, each bush being loaded. There is no trailing of branches and no wandering sprays with these Dresden gardeners, for nature goes her own way very little. Every bush is a bouquet, which might be cut exactly as it is and transferred to the cen- ter of a dinner table with not a withered petal to pick off or another rose_neces- music and fireworks sary for completeness, but its very German | stiffness adds to the quaint charm of the garden, and the difference between other ways and our ways is just what we want to See at the fair. I think the rose garden leases me the most of anything on the | sland, more than the Japanese hooéen or the hunter's camp or the walks or shaded seats, which are most refreshing when one tired. Rose Island it is sometimes called, ut the other is the common name, and many visitors do not seem to know of this garden or have missed it even when seek- ing it. The Japanese hooden—palace or temple— is the supposed center of attraction and is most interesting. It is a collection of dings, one of them a copy of Kin-ka- Kuji, a very old monastery of Kioto, the name meaning golden pavilion, while an- other Is the Ho-o-do, and represents a fabu- lous bird which fire could not burn. The Japanese government built and presented them to Chicago, so they will be a perma- nent and delightful souvenir of 183, and Japan has promised to keep up a museum there, the collection to be renewed from time to time. These buildings are sald to have cost $100,000 and the originals date back before the time of Columbus. Japan's Grent Interest. Japan was one of the first countries to respond to the United States’ invitation to the exposition, and she has been most Uberal in her contributions toward its suc- cess; besides this gift of the Hooden, she has a large pavilion in the manufactures and Uberal arts building, a village in the Plaisance (though this is ‘not a government exhibit, displays in mines and mining, in agricultural, fine arts and horticultural and woman's buildings. In .bis last ren- tioned 1s a room devoted to a charming ex- hibit of embroideries especially, with beau- tful specimens of screens, one in four panels representing the four seasons. Blos- som covered boughs fill the first el, summer has the branches cf areon feluce autumn faded leaves, with softly brilliant touches here there, while snow laden pine boughs suggest the desolation of win: ter. the exquisite execution of the embroidery is truly Japanese, and the setting of the pan- els adds to their effectiveness, In the Japanese section in the south wing ia Ene exposition of woman's work, in iture of silk worms, in porcelain, teytile fabrics and painting in oil and water colors, as well as loans of ali manner of things pertaining to a woman's employment, diss and amusements, from various princesses of the court, as well as a poem composed and written’ by the empress, and manu- scrips by court ladies. In the liberal arts department the Japan- ese section is peculiarly inseresiiue, for while at other expositions, an] at Philadel- phia, her displays were principaily of loan collections of gntiques or mod them, now for the first time liberately dared to be original and to ask the world’s favor for her contemporary art on its own merits.” Japanese art at the centennial was a revelation to Americans, and from. this sprang the craze for it, which extended to even the poorest and ‘cheapest specimens for a time. Then came a reaction, and with the satiety produced by seeing 30 much of it, as displayed in our houses and shops, one came to look at it in Chicago, giving cursory glances where close inspec. tion would Se repaid, and slizhting this unique assemblage of ‘art ob) of other countries whose. {i more unhackneyed to us if of our study.

Explorer Ward's Interesting Ohat With ® Young Oannibal. The Big Town is Wonderful, but Its Sights Make Him Sleepy— Account of a Battle. Bulelu, a member of the cannibal tribe of Bangala, a community residing a thou- sand miles in the interior of Africa, is vis- iting London in charge of a member of the Belgian Congo Company. His people still maintain their primitive customs. Bulelu comes of a good family and is an unusually | bright boy. Herbert Ward, the explorer, who understands Bulelu's native tongue, interviewed him. ‘What things “have most surprised you | in our country,, Bulelu?” asked the ex- ‘All things. Lo!

But they lied. They came in canoes and—Tor! Tor! our spears went into their bodies. See! one man fell dead here,” and Bulelu of the Tribe of Bangala. Bulelu pointed to a step beneath him. “An- cried.

The killing of an elephant or @ crocodile in that far-off country ts a far more memorable event than the slaughter of a human being. And yet there is noth- ing in this lad’s manner suggestive of a savage disposition; on the contrary, he ap- pears gentle and kind. His voice ts soft and musical and his bearing ts ful. The only outward token of his barbarism, apart from the trital mark, or ‘dikwata, clcatrized upon his face, and his pointed teeth, is to be found in the peculiarly eva- sive expression of his bloodshot eyes. His Relatives. “Have you many relatives?” I inquired of Bulelu anxious to ascertain whether the superstitious scruples which prevent most central Africans from mentioning the names of the dead would still influeace him under the present circumstances.” ‘Four brothers by the same mother.” is your father living?” Bulelu grunted twice and shook his open hand, to imply « negative answer. “What was your father’s name?” Again Bulelu grunted and replied eva- sively: “I was very small at the time, Ho was a chieftain with many slaves and twenty-five wives, but my mother was his only wife that bore children. An evil spiri entered his heart and he died from si I may here state that the fatal ng sickness, know to the natives as “bokono, is very prevalent throt the Congo country. _ Notwithstanding all his endea- yors, Mr. Ward failed to elicit the name of Bulelu’s father. “Would you be satisfied to live always In this country, Bulelu? All things are good here. In your country you have but litue pleasure.” Bulelu stared thoughtfully at the Ssh tn replied simply: } fhe river and then lonely.

Denver from the start, when ft had only two hundred or three hundred inhabitants and a few houses, was known as “Denver City,” and it ts now a great and populous City ‘of over 200,000 in population, @ railroad center, with some of the finest bufldings that can be found anywhere in the coun- try. When it began, with Its few people, everybody spoke of ‘It as “Denver City.” Many western places have made such strides and have become cities. In fact calling a place a city when tt is only @ camp does not seem now to be fo out of place—it has sometimes been prophetic. I saw Denver City in 1865. It hed been only @ camp and was then just mercing tn- to @ town. It seemed to have no particu- lar boundary; the first settlers bivouacked on & spot on the western edge of the — rie about twenty miles east of Golten City, which was located just at the entrance of Rocky mountains. “These were years rival places: but Denver City grew and Golden Rity aid not.
