DOOM OF MIGHTY LONDON.
Fire
Ab-ut the Only Agent Which Can Cause Its Destruction.
With hints of German invasion and of an approaching earthquake, the question "What will be the doom of London?" seems a not unreasonable one. What will be the end of the great city? What will bring about the ruin over which Macaulay's New Zealander is to cast his moralizing eye? Several answers may be given. The destruction of London at the hands of a victorious invader Is possible, but extremely improbable. London may be besieged, even bombard
ed; she cannot be destroyed. Flood? This again may be dismissed as most Improbable; and one calamity only remains to be considered, namely fire. Now, London has suffered more than once terribly from this cause, and in 1G66 the city was practically wiped out. Every one knows this; but it is not every one who knows that the great conflagration was predicted 15 years before by Lilly, the astrologer, and by another astrologer, Nostradamus, a century before that. Nostradamus cast his prediction in a French quatrain, the gist of which was that in 1666 London would be visited by a conflagration which would destroy SL Paul's and S9 other churches. Cassell's Saturday Journal.
Xorfolk, Va., July C. Leo Bonet of New York, who first introduced staff as a construction material for exposition buildings and statuary in the L'nlted States, has been a factor in the building of the- Jamestown exposition. Mr. Bonet, through his Bufrestlon that staff be used In the construction of the Columbian exposition at Chicago, may be credited with having1 saved about J20,0y0,000 to th builders of tho several expositions that have been held in this country since 1893. The Iao Colonel Sellers of Missouri was a supgester of Bchemes with "mtlllons in them." This man's suggestion really panned out the millions. Born in France, Jj'r. Bonet came to the l'nlted States twenty years ago and became an American citizen. In 1891, when the first great American exposition since the Philadelphia Centennial was in embryo, Mr. Bonet went to Chicago. The problem of creating an architectural display with the maximum of magnificence at the minimum of expense was tinder discussion. Wood,
glass and tin were chiefly used at
Philadelphia, resulting in structures
more useful than beautiful. Mr. Bonet proposed to the Chicago exposition
builders that staff be employed as the
principal constructive material for out
side finish and ornamentation. At first his suggestion was not very seriously
considered. The Frenchman was told
that staff was not sufficiently durable
that, like tho fabled wings of Icarus
It "couldn't stand sun heat and hard whacks." and other wear and tear of
weather. To disprove this notion, Mr.
Bonet made some staff figures and set them on top of the. Rookery building in Chicago, exposed to a winter of
rough weather. The next ppring it
was discovered that the staff had stood tho storm. After duo consideration,
staff was adopted, and the Columbian exposition thereby saved 14,500,000, in
addition to the achievement of the
most beautiful exposition e'er held up
to that year. Since then every expo
sition has been built chiefly of wood
and staff, saving in each instance mil
lions of dollars. Had these world's fairs been built of steel and stone the
cost would have been enormously
greater and the time required in con
struction would have been doubled
For temporary buildings staff is now
universally used.
Taint sticks to staff tenaciously, and the material is capable of treatment to
any color scheme desTred. The bewil
derlng beauty of expositions, in tint and hue. Is due to a combination of
plaster of paris, hemp and dextrine
component elements of staff and the pigments which protect and beautify
Its surface. Not only in the buildings
themselves, but in their artistic orna
mentation of frieze and cornice and in
the statuary that embellishes the
grounds, is staff now employed.
At the Jamestown exposition, on
Sewell's Point, six miles from Norfolk.
another radical departure in the con
struction of exposition buildings is
taken. Heretofore every great exposi
tion in this country has been built only
for temporary use. Most of the build
ings at Sewell's Point Are to be perma
nent. Accordingly, the quantity o
staff used will bo comparatively small
The exposition site is on the shore o
Hampton Koads, that ramous sea-way
and summer resort region. It Is believed that after the exposition there will be a demand for the various buildings, to be used as hotels, club houses and summer residences. Much staff, however, will be used in the exposition features that are necessarily temporary, such as the statuary, the arches, the bridges and the exhibit booths and decorations. The grand group of government buildings will be constructed of staff.

He Was an Exception. The late Bishop James Newbury Fitzgerald, in an address In St. Loui3, once declared that sympathy, far more than eloquence or learning, made for success in the ministry. "Too many of us," he said, "say the worst. " e most inappropriate things. T a young Baptist friend of mine, doling with a housebreaker in a jail, droned: 'Ah, my friend, let us remember that we are here to-day and gone to-morrow.' 'You may be; I ain't,' the housebreaker answered shortly."
False Signal. "Tcru don't believe in romance, eh? said the old boarder. "You bet your tintype I doa't," sighed the young man with the bandage around his head. "I had my share." "How was that?" "Well, you see I was forbidden to call on my be6t girl and every night she
would sit out on the balcony and at a certain hour strike a mateh. That would be the signal for me to stick my head through the vines and kiss
her." "Ah. very poetic." "Yes, but the other night I saw the match flare
