To the Editor of the Dispatch: "While in St. Louis sometime back, and in talking about the World's Fair | with some citizens, I got this idea about the magnitude of the exposition which I give you, and would like for you to publish, so that your people and your State will have some idea about what the St. Louis World's Fair will be. Our people here are in frmnh with St. Louis, and a run of only six hours will put us in the great city. In order that you may have a general idea of the magnitude of the "Louisiana Purchase Exposition, StLouis, 1903," I beg leave to place before you a few tersely stated facts. The St. Louis World's Fair will be approximately twice as big as any ???-? former international exposition. Tbe Centennial exposition atPbiladelphia covered 236 acres; the Paris exposi- J t on of 1S90-1900, 336 acresjt he Columbia exposition at Chicago, G33 acres: the Pan Americau at Buffalo, 350 acres. The St. Louis World's ! Fair will cover 1209?twelve hundred acres. The construction cost of the Paris exposition was 89,000,090; that of the Columbia exposition, 818,322,000, and the total cost of tbe Pan Americm exposition was $10,000,000. The estimated cost of the St. L^uis World's Fair is $30,000,000 This practically, as you know, will mean forty millions by the time the work is completed. Before the exposition gates are opened May 1st, 1903, the city of St. Louis will have expended the enormous sum of twenty million dollars, of this sum five millions was appropriated for the fair through the municipal assembly, her citizens raised an additional five millions by private subscription and by popular vote at a special election on October the 22ad,the charter amendment was carried which will enable the city to expend ten millions for street paving and other public improvements.

Many housekeeepers think that to turn down a lamp saves oil. In point of fact, it does nothing of the kind. The same amount is consumed, only that which is not burned in a flime passes off as gas. You can notice ims ai once on entering a roum vrueie a lamp has been turned low for any length of time. Besides the disagreeable odor, the gas is mo3t injurious to flowers or plants that may be near it. If little light be required, a small lamp with a small wick should be kept turned up to its proper height. To Cure a Cold in One Day Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.
