Any one who - Las not been over the World's Fair grounds cannot, with the wildest stretch of his imagination, realize the magnificence of this latest and greatest of Universal Expositions. With its thousand buildings spread out over an area of two square miles, enclosed l?y six miles of fence, the great World's Fair glistens in the sun. and is the centre o: int.-rest to all this part of the country. The management has very considerately arranged many of the principal exhibit palaces in a compact group. While there are more than twenty-five biddings of considerable size given up to exhibit purposes, the very large buildings are some fifteen In unmber; eigh* of these, the Palace of Transportation.

As each building covers from eight to fifteen acres and contains several miles of ;iisles, lined on either side by most interesting exhibits, the visitor will see his time slipping away with a world of things yet remaining to be seen. The Government has spent more on this Exposition th.m it has ever expended before. Fir<t, it gave $.">.000,(H)0 to the general fund of the Exposition, upon consideration that the city of St. j Louis would raise $10,000,000. This of course was promptly done. Then, the Government appropriated nearly a million and .1 half more for buildings and exhibits, ami a few weeks ago decided to make a l-?an of .S4.000.000 to the Exposition in order to have the elaborate plans carried out to their completeness. The Government cannot lose much on this investment at St. Louis, for the reason that St. Louis returns in internal revenue taxes for I the Eastern half of Missouri alone,; over $15,000.00* a year.

Some very curious experiments have recently been carried out in tlie German Zoological Gardens iu order to ascertain the actual influence of music upon animals. The instrument was the violin and Herr Baker was the performer. Of all the animals the pump was the most sensitive to the musical influence. His moods changed rapidly, according to the nature of the melody, the animal frequently becoming very excited and nervous, "just like a Frenchman." us the report says. Leopards were entirely unconcerned, but the lions appeared to be afraid, although their cubs wanted to dance when the .usic became livelier.

N.RAYS AND DIGESTION. Thin Process C:iUKes Their Kmi*?ion, u* | Dooh Muscular Activity. That the processes of digestion, as well as mental and muscular activity, seem to cause the emission of X-rays, is the conclusion reached by M. Lambert, in France, after a series of interesting experiments. He believes that these curious rays are produced by ferments, especially by those concerned in the digestion of albuminoid matter. In his experiments on diges" tion, says a writer in Harper's Weekly. M. Lambert placed a small quantity of fibrin in tubes containing in one case activated pancreatic juice, and in another artificial gastric juice made by mixing five per cent, solution of pepsin with a four per cent, solution j of hydrochloric acid. From these tubes the X-rays were emitted, and I were detected not only by producing increased luminescence of a phosphorescent screen, but also photographically, thus removing tbe subjective element from the experiment. As a result of the'se experiments, M. i Lambert believes that in the course of digestion the fibrin undergoes I strains which act to produce X-rays. I'ronpcroux Yucatan.

I ^*****OLONEL SIR HOWARD VINCENT, the English * f. * writer on military sub^ jects, seems to have a high opinion of the Russian OS ? fiirhtinf* mil a\.L Hij uo <4 I chine. In an article in the United Service Magazine he intimates that the Russians had little to learn about the value of mounted infantry from the Boer War, because it was a branch of the service to which they paid particular attention before the war with Turkey. At that time Colonel Vincent made this prediction: "The dragoons will render special service. They are In reality mounted rifles, and'for their employment the Turkish campaign is peculiarly adapted. Alone of all the powers in Europe the Russians have recognized the groat uti!itv of mounted infantry. They moves in threes; the centre file holds the horse of his comrades on either side when the order to act on foot is given. The horse detachmeut remains under the command of the senior subaltern.

Of these drasoons. says Colonel Vin cent, there are now fifty-six regiments In the service, "wholly apart from the sixteen regiments of Cossacks, the finest mounted infantry in the world, equally good on horse or on loot, daredevils. to whom riding and horsemanship is as much second nature as to the old Boers of the Transvaal." What of the infantry soldier? If Colonel Vincent is not a Russian partisan, Ivan is the stuff of which a hardy lighting man Is made. "In marching the Russian infantry." says tbe English specialist, "has absolutely no equal." But we remember that the Japaue.se were the most nimble of all the foot soldiers who took part in the China campaign, and it is well known that the Japanese peasant walks like a horse. We cannot believe tliat the Russian Is as quick on his feet, although he may endure longer than the rice-eating Japanese. The Russian foot soldier, Colonel Vincent tells us, is the soul of good nature and is full of fun. "The Russian," he says, "does not yield to the Italian in liis love for song or to the Spaniard in his love for dancing r-- : ' ^ - A RUSSIAN HORSE GUARD. and fun. Tliey sing every inch of the way, and often a dancer will step in front of his company and by merry carnival antics sen! the laughter round." Lord Wolseley once wrote a preface to a boolc of marching songs in which he said: "The soldier who sings as he marches, marches to victory." One is surprised to learn from Colonel Vincent that the Russian infantryman is u "handy" man. who can do, or will try to do, anything that Is asked ot' him, "if he is taken the right way."

MYSTERY IN PAGE MURDER |j Stranger Seen ,t Girl's Home on Wight of Urime. Right llanrl Injured And Conductor of an Atibnrmlitle Car Declares it Was Covered With Blood* Boston, Mass. ? Persistent efforts were made by the State detectives ia charge of the investigation of the murder of Miss Mabel Page in Weston to ( find a suggestion of a motive. Again and again they questioned Miss Page's ag<?d father aud her younger brother Harold. < Four men agree in describing a *t| strange man, who was seen going toward the Page house prior to the murder, aud coming from the direction of the house subsequent to the hour when. it is agreed that the crime was coin mitted. This man, who is described as about forty-five years of age, took a trolley, car from Auburudale and rode into Boston. His right hand, the witnesses agree, was injured in some way, and one of the four, the conductor of the car, is positive that it had been cut and was bloody. All efforts are now bent to trace this man. That the murderer was either an acquaintance of the family or a . lunatic has been assured from the first, as has been the' fact that his motive was either blood or revenge. The family insist that a motive of revenge is out of the question. The servant, Amy Roberts, has been made to talk freely about all the per- . M sons with whom the Pages have beea on any terms of intimacy. She has been asked, with a significant insistance, especially about the women who have been most infrequent, callers at the house. She has been led to tell everything about her own movements on the.day of the-murder. , 11 ' ?fnV>Al T>am> A persuu wen uuunu lu uauci ?- UAV gained admission to the nouse on the pretext that her brother was lying dangerously injured in a Boston hospital, and sat in the living room while Mabel dressed.
