tethi*'before in the history of the race. Only ten years have elapsed siuee the Columbian exposition surprised and delighted the world, hut in that time Industrial art has made progress which seems ito require an exposition of the magnitude •of the St. Louis fair to properly display it and enepuruge the rising generations to atiil more amazing conquests. This event will 1m n world’s fair in <tho largest sense, reflecting the broadening spirit of the world and revealing the progress to he found within the boundaries of nil participating nations. The exposition will be quite unlike Its predecessors in America and Europe, in that - t ..

it will display not merely the products -of human ingenuity and skill, but will show first the raw materials, then, step -by stop, the methods of handling them .and the processes by which they are -changed from their natural state into things of usefulness and beauty. The -vast exposition, far greater iu its extent than auy which has preceded It, will thus .abound in life and motion throughout its many departments. The exhibit buildings will become, in some respects, great workshops for many industries. In each ■will be installed, so far as practicable, the latest machines and devices for carrying on the Work of manufacture as performed in many countries. Many Nsw Things to Be Shown, Front countries where machinery is little used will come the patient hand workers who perform their tasks almost with the skill of magicians. From lands wrhere man has assigned to machinery -the most Intricate and delicate tasks will come new types and forms of machines to challenge attention and admiration. It is the Min of the world's fair management, with eleven years of marvelous .progress since the achievements recorded at Chicago's Columbian Exposition, to make this ingathering of the nations an event of the highest importance iu remits and benefits to the peoples of many tongues sod nationalities who shall have part hi if ~x - The purchase of what waa known a hundred years ago as the Louisiana Territory took plnee' during the administration of President Jefferion.

enough to ignore the limitations of the established condition of affairs, hut time vindicated the great mnn who wrote the Declaration of Independence, in a way which no one at that time could conceive. The government which paid this seemingly vast sum for an uninhabited and practically unexplored wilderness now collects a greater sum each year in internal revenue from St. Louis alone. To celebrate the centennial of an event of such tremendous importance as the purchase of Era nee’s interest in the “new world” was considered worthy of the interest nnd greatest endeavor by the millions of people now living happily on the

rich soil once sold for a few cents a square uiik;. The central feature of the exposition is the Cascade Garden. A natural amphitheater lying In the “main picture” has been made the object of elaborate embellishment. Three great cascades enliven the slop? and flowered terraces add color and beauty. The crest of the hill carries a huge crown consisting of a colonnade with square pylons alternating with the columns. The States of the Union will have buildings to be used as headquarters for visitors coming from the commonwealths

thus represented.' These buildings, upon .the high gronnd in the southeastern part of the exposition, are near one of the main entrances. The buildings of forsign countries Will be west of the main group. Among the phases of human life, aH knowledge of which will be collected, are education, social economy, art, liberal arts, manufacture, machinery, electricity, transportation, forestry, mines and metallurgy, anthropology and physical culture. Under these heads come naturally every activity of man, every line of study, and everything that contributea to the

Government Expending a Million Dollars on New Fort Thomas. The government of the United States is expending $1,000,000 in the erection of a military post, to he called Fort George H. Thomas, on a tr-aqt of 900 acres of land adjoining the National Military I’urk of the battlefield of Chickamauga, nine miles from Chattanooga. The work of construction is notv making rapid progress under the direction of Captain U. J. Slocum of the Seventh cavalry. The foundations of th? principal buildings are laid; the land is being cleared, drained and graded, and before next winter some of the quarters will be ready tp occupy. It is to he the model military post of the world, capable of taking care of a fill! regiment of cavalry, with detachments of infantry nnd artillery. The location and the topography are especially favorable. The climate is mild in winter and not too hot in the summer. The atmosphere is pure and the water supply is abundant. Only, the other day an artesian well was borpd, which is now flowing with a tremendous pressure, furnishing a supply of water sufficient for the whole camp?' Fort George--H. Thomas- is- to be-the-rendezvous of the militia of the South, which, under the new law enacted at the last session of Congress, Is to be mobilized annually ih camps't>f instruction, nnd participate io maneuvers. The convenience of Chattanooga for this purpose was one reason for the selection of the present rite for tht neW .post. And it is expected that 10,000 members of the National Guard from Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Arkansas, will gather here every fall for drill and maneuvers under the command of officers of the geenral staff of the regular army. Several similar rendezvous will be established at other points convenient for railroad transportation. There wiil.be one near Chicago for the annual maneuvers of the National Guard of the surrounding States. The famous Seventh cavalry, Gen.

Missouri preacher. Sitting in a telephone booth on a recent rainy Sunday morning, he-preached in his community. Tire nniqne religious service was largely an experiment, but it was so successful that the minister himself believes* the day is almost at hand when telephonic sermons will be delivered all over the country. The ingenious preacher who has taken advantagehf the telephone is Rev. J. YV. Kimbfell of Madion, Mo. The majority of his parishioners live on-farms at considerable distances from the meeting house. The country roads bad been impassable and the attendance at ’lie church had dwindled away. - Horses could not drag vehicles through the mud, and many persons who were formerly regular attendants were compelled to remain at home. On a recent Sunday, while the rain waa pouring down in torrents, the idea of the telephone service suggested itself to Mr. Kimbrelf. He sought the manager of the telephone office, had transmitters arranged so he could.be put in communication with 200 subscribers and then began the services just as he would have done in church.. Even singing was carried on in the talephone office and the. words.and melody transmitted to Willingears miles away. Now that the movement has been started here there is a" demand that sermons shall be delivered •by telephones during bad weather. The preacher and his parishioners believe that the telephone ar innfeoion'ary is 'bound to come iato widespread use.

THE MAD MULLAH AGAIN.

Overwhelms a British Force and is Afterward Defeated. i Another British column in Somaliland ■bas been defeated by the forces of the Mad Mullah. The overwhelming of a force of 220 men by an attacking column 'of 10,000 does not rank very high . as. a military exploit, but the fact that a force led by one of the most experienced officers tn Africa was ambushed and all of tire officers and 180 of the native troops; slaughtered will have a depsessing effect among the natives loyal to the British. The defeat of the British under Col. Plunkett, however, will have less influence tlinn the defeat of Col. Swain iu 1901, because the supporting forces were not so far from the scene of the battle. The main column, under Col. Cobbe, from which Col. Plunkett was detached, wns in a fortified camp, well supplied with provisions and ammunition and forces were soon hurried forward to re-

Here, the garrison. Brig. Gen. Manning, after an engagement with.the Mad Midlab's'fbrces, relieved Col. Cobbe, near Gumbprrrf,- Somaliland, forty-five miloa weedward of Galadi. About 2,000 of tha Mullah’s men were killed. The British,, -loss is not known. “ T Last year the Mad Mullah’s forces were defeated by the British and again by the Abyssinians, and there. is now, as there was last year, a heavy Abyssinian force flank of the Mad Mbllah's irrmy. "in this campaign the Brit-* iah have taken the initiative because Italy and Abyssinia have copiplaiiftid that the Mad Mullah übcs British Somaliland as a base -for operations against Abyssinia and Italian territory* As. a matter of fact, however, Italy and Abyssinia have as much at stake in driving the Mad Mullah from tbe field as has Great Britain. The War Is of the Same character as that against the Mahdi in the Soudan. An army .representing civilization is warring against the hordes representing barbarism.
