ELECTRIC WONDERS UnpoLi-oJleled Display Oct the Pen-Amorico.n Exposition.

Progress in Electrical Science Will Bo Illustrated in Ol Most Comprehensive Motnner at the Great Show Next Summer.

Ultvtiical illuminations and electrica! exhibits will form conspicuous features at the Pan-American exposition as Is eminently fitting in view of the marvelous progress made in electrical science during the past d-cade and In view of the proximity to the exposition grounds of the great plants at Niagara Fails from which the electric power is generated. The electrical Illuminations of the Position will be achieved in connection with the Electric Tower, the fountains and other hydraulic displays and in the outlining of the different buildings by rows of incandescent lamps. There will be combined water and electric effects and tho centrr.l figure of the whole setting will, of course, be the Electric Tower, with its most wonderful and beautiful electrical display. The Electricity Building ltelf has most appropriately been located adjoining the Electric Tower. From Its eastern end an excellent opportunity will be afforded for viewing the splendid illuminations of the tower during the night displays. The location of the building is also fortunate In view of the fact that Just ftcros3 the mall, the broad avenue upon the southern side of the Electricity Building, stands the Machinery and Transportation building, so that visitors can easily pass from one to the other and make comparisons between the closely allied apparatus in the two buildings. In the northwest corner of the Electricity Building will probably be located the 5,000 H. P. transformer plant which will transform the Niagara power polyphase current from 11,000 volts to 1,800 volts for distribution about the grounds. Smaller stepdown transformers will be used in several hundred transformer pita about the grounds and in the various buildings, where the current will be reduced from 1.800 Tolts to 104 volts. At this pressure lights and electric motors and other appliances will be operated. The progress in the development and application of the various branches of electrical science and industry of recent year? makes the exhibit at the Pan-American exposition of the utmost Importance and interest. At the time of the World's Fair at Chicago, electric transportation over street car lines of cities was In Its Infancy. In ten years the electric motor in its application to both transportation and Industry has effected well nlgh an Industrial revolution. In the electric lighting Industry, and In the telephone system there has been great progress during this decade. Wireless telegraphy has eome to the front within a few years and is destined to effect still further radical changes in methods of electric communication. Automobiles electrically propelled have come into use. In all these fields the Pan-American Exposition will have electrical exhibits Illustrating this marvelous progress. There will be a collection of historical matter relating to the subject which will show the gradual development of the apparatus used. An especially interesting exhibit will be that illustrating the application of electricity to the propulsion of cars and vehicles like the automobiles. Most persons are more familiar with the successful operation of such vehicles by electricity than QUEER TITLES That eccentric preacher, Lorenzo Dow, once preached to thoughtless young women who with their gorgeous bonnets had taken the highest seats In the room, from the text. "Topknot. Come Down." One of the most brilliant preachers of a generation ago, now a "castaway," preached to young people from the text. "Let Her Drive." Several years ago a bright ONE IMPROVEMENT Communication between man and man was as expensive as It was slow at the beginning of the 19th century. It cost a shilling to get a letter anywhere, when the century began, and a shilling In those days represented far more than it now does. Now two cents will carry a letter to California or around th corner. Then the mall

with the means to this end. On this account it is. hoped to illustrate them at the Exposition in such a manner that the inter-relation of the various elements viil be quite apparent. Tho utilization of electricity In various forms of manufacturing industries will also be illustrated. This utilization of electricity Is destined to be one of the greatest of its fleld3 and the Niagara frontier 13 now an object lesson in this respect, for the development of Niagara power la almost every day drawing new industries to this region because the proximity and the availability of this power render the manufacturing opportunities bo exceptional. Exposition Penlptnre. No exposition of the past possessed such elaborate sculptural adornment as will be a leading characteristic of the Pan-American Exposition. Tho buildings and grounds of the Exposition at Buffalo will be embellished profusely with most artistic creations from the hands of some thirty-five of the best known sculptors on the American continent. Cycling at Exposition. The Pan-American Exposition will extend a welcoming hand to the mil-

A. 1 - 'j lions of Cyclists and Automoblllsts of the Americas during the summer of 1901. The automobile exhibit, It is promised, will be the finest ever seen at any exposition. There will also be a large and complete display of bicycles, representing all stages of progress from the heavy and clumsy Iron-tired velocipedes to the finest pneumatic-tired modern machines, including the "good old ordinary" or high wheel bicycle fitted with small solid rubber tires which was first exhibited In this country twenty-five years ago. at Philadelphia. A grand carnival of cycle races will be held in the magnificent Stadium which Is now being erected on the PanAmerican grounds. This vast arena will be In many respects equal the famous old Colosseum at Rome. Horticulture at Exposition. Horticultural exhibits at the PanAmerican Exposition have a beautiful setting In and about an exceedingly handsome building 220 feet square. The height of the building Is 236 feet to the top of the lantern, and the general proportions are of commanding grandeur. Fruits of all kinds will be placed on exhibition during the summer. Much of the fruit will be preserved in cold storage, though the exhibit will change as the season advances and the different varieties ripen. A number of states have made arrangements to provide collective exhibits that will properly represent the horticultural products of their particular section. California Is arranging for a special exhibit of the wonderfully diversified fruit productions of that state. Other states are taking the matter up with the prospect of making the horticultural exhibit the most complete ever attempted. The same care that characterizes other sections of the Exposition will be given the Horticultural division with the view of making it repreEOR SERAVONS preacher advertised to enlighten his people on Sunday morning by "Lessons from Croquet." Last year It was "Lessons from Golf." "Born too Late: the World Has the Start of Him," Is the form of an offer of enlightenment to young men. "A Love Song," "A Love Adventure," and "Lessons In Courtship." of course attracted Instant attention. OF THE CENTURYl 9 matter handled was too insignificant for statistics; now there are 75.000 postofflces in this country, handling postal matter of all kinds, per annum, of 6.576,310,000 pieces. Not counting the national capital, there are forty-four towns and cities bearing the name of Washington.

sentative as to character rather than exhaustive In detail. Balneis of the Bees. The busy bee will be in big business at the Pan-American Expos. tioa the. coming summer. It has been decided to construct a special building for the proper display of the working colonies of bees and the great variety of bee keepers' ,v.:pplies which will constitute this exhibit. This will undoubtedly be the most extensive bee exhibit ever prepared in this or any other part of the world. Anyone who is not a student of bee culture little realizes

j the very great importance of this In dustry. It is estimated that there are 300,000 persons engaged in bee culj ture in the United States alone and j that the present annual value of honey and wax is in excess of 220.000,000. There are 110 societies devoted to the study and promotion of bee keeping. Eight Journals are sustained by this industry. Fifteen steam power factories are producing supplies of various kinds for the u.e of bee keepers. American honey finds a market In many distant countries, the Unitfd States producing more honey than any other nation. The bee exhibits at the Pan-American Exposition will be so arranged that the bee3 may enter their hives from the exterior of the building and carry on their work of honey collection undisturbed by visitors, yet In full view through the glass sides of their hives. The successful management cf an apiary requires a knowledge of botany as well as the habits and requirements of the Dees themselves. The little honey bee plays a very Important part in the general economy. The failure of fruit crops may be due to the absence of bees whose special function is to fertilize the blossoms by carrying the pollen from stamens to pistil. EDWARD HALE BRUSH. CAN'T BACK OUT. Question Ahout Snakes Cnlr Debate by Sclentllie Expert. After the meeting of the Colorado Academy of Science recently, at which President Regis Chauvenet or the School of Mines delivered an address, there was an argument about snakes, says the Denver Republican. It was continued in a desultory way soon after at the fctate capitol by Curator Will C. Ferril of the Historical society, and Captain Cecil Deane of the war relic department, the men who started it at the meeting on the day previous. Curator Ferril claims that he has proved that a rattlesnake, when pursued, will retreat and go into Its hole backward. He says that a month ago he ran across a rattlesnake which slowly went toward its hole. He tollowed with discretion and a gun and when the rattler reached its home it went in, according to Mr. Ferril, tail first, so that it could protect itself if attacked. Mr. Ferril is aware that this statement is contrary to established records, but says that because it has never before been known to the world does not prove that it Is not true. He will mention this discovery in his biennial report now being compiled. Captain Cecil A. Deane of the war relic department says that he never heard of such a thing. He claims that the theory is ridiculous and that it is a well established fact that the rattlers go home head first. In proof of this claim he says that the way in which curio dealers secure rattlers In large numbers for sale is to follow the snakes to their holes and cut off the r tails as they dive into the holes. Captain Deane say3 he has pursued this method on various occasions and never saw a rattler even attempt to go into its hole tail first. He asserts that scientific experiments have already demonstrated that a rattler cannot "back up" or "back down" and that Mr. Ferril is needlessly exciting the scientific world In bringing up a subject which has already been disposed Of. KffTPfe Lotely Khrdlvah. The Khedive of Egypt is one of the few Eastern rulers who has lived In a genuine love story, with the heroine for his wife. The lovely Ikbal Hanem is of the Circassian race. She was formerly a slave of the Vididi (Dowager) Khedivah, at whose house the then young ruler of Egypt first saw her. As beauty gives rank in the Orient, the young slave's condition did not interfere with her advancement. She was courted and won by the dashing young prince and finally formally married to him and raised to the rank of Khedivah. The happy couple model their household after the European fashion She neither paints nor powders her face, as is the custom of Egyptian women of high rank. She likes European dress and has European servants and governesses for her three daughters. She studies with her children, and has an open, inquiring mind The Khedivah has one of the most sumptuous yachts in the world. The saloons are most magnificently upholstered in white satin, brocaded with pink roses, the cornices done in real gold, while the panels are hung with beautiful pictures. Her own room Is decorated in pink and white, the bed. with its lace trimmings, looking particularly inviting. Doty or Orders? Railroad men in Atchison, Kan., are puzzled over a question of duty or orders. On one of its sections near Atchison a railroad has Just two men, the foreman and one hand. The printed rules of the company require that In case ft rail should be found broken, ono section hand must ro in one direction and another in the other, for the purpose of flagging trains. Now, the question troubling Atchison Is, how could the rail be mended with the entire force away flagging trains? Urn Tasse Without Doty. The collector of customs at San Francisco was recently called up to decide whether or not a valuable urn should pay duty. The urn contained the ashes of an American citizen who had died abroad and his remains wer being brought home In this shape. After considering the matter for some time the collector decided that the uro and Its contents should be admitted This Is the first time that an urn worth several hundred dollars wai passed without assessment J

TALJIAGE'S SERMON.

PLEADS FOR A MORE DEMONSTRATIVE RELIGION. The Deity of Christian to Speak Out Heartily on the Side of lCIghteou-i-nei ami to Sin:; with Joyoui Ilarts God's l'ruisp. (Copyright, ITOl. by Louis KIopch, N. T.) Washington, Fob. 10. In this discourso Dr. Talmage calls for a mor3 demonstrative religion and a hearty speaking out on the right side of everything; text, Mark 9: 25, "Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him." Here was a case of great domestic anguish. The son of the household was possessed of an evil spirit, which, among other things, paralyzed Iiis tongue and made him speechless. When the influence was on the patient, he couij not say a word articulation was impossible. The spirit that captured this member of the household was a dumb spirit so called by Christ a spirit abroad today and as lively and potent as in New Testament times. Yet in all the realms of sermonology I cannot find a discourse concerning this dumb devil which Christ charged upon in my text, saying, "Come out of him." Destructive Superstition. There has been much destructive superstititon abroad in the world concerning possession by evil spirits. Under the form of belief in witchcraft this delusion swept the continents. Persons were supposed to be possessed with some evil spirit, which made them able to destroy others. In the sixteenth century in Geneva 1,500 persons were burned to death as witches. In one neighborhood of France 1.000 perEons were burned. In two centuries 200,000 persons were slain as witches. So mighty was the delusion that it Included among its victims some of the greatest intellects of all time, such as Chief Justice Matthew Hale and Sir Edward Coke, and such renowned ministers of religion as Cotton Mather, one of whose books, Benjamin Franklin said, shaped his life and Richard Baxter, and Archbishop Cranmer and Martin Luther; and. among writers and philosophers, Lord Bacon. That belief, which has become the laughing stock of all sensible people, counted its disciples among the wisest and best people of Sweden, Germany, England, France, Spain and New England. But while we respect witchcraft, any man who believes the Bible must believe that there are diabolical agencies abroad in the world. While there are ministering spirits to bless there are Infernal spirits to hinder, to poison and to destroy. Christ was speaking to a spiritual existence when, standing before the afflicted one of the text, he said, "Thou dumb and deaf spirit, come out of him." Dumb and Deaf Spirit. Against this dumb devil of the text I put you on your guard. Do not think that this agent of evil has put his blight on those who, by omission of the vocal organs, have had the golden gates of speech bolted and barred. Among those who have never spoken a word are the most gracious and lovely ami talented souls that were ever incarnated. The chaplains of the asylums for the dumb can tell you enchanting stories of those who never called the name of father or mother or child, and many of the most devout and prayerful souls will never in this world speak the name of God or Christ. Many a deaf mute have I seen with the angel of intelligence seated at the window of the eye, who never came forth from the door of the mouth. What a miracle of loveliness and knowledge was Laura Bridgman of New Hampshire, not only without faculty of speech, but without hearing and without sight, all these faculties removed by sickness when 2 years of age, yet, becoming a wonder at needlework, at the piano, at the sewing machine and an intelligent student of the Scriptures and confounding philosophers, who came from all parts of the world to study the phenomenon. Thanks to Christianity for what it has done for the amelioration of the condition of the deaf and dumb. Back in the ages they were put to death as having no right with such paucity of equipment to live, and for centuries they were classed among the idiotic Great lienefaetor. and unsafe. But in the sixteenth century came Pedro Ponce, the Spanish monk, and in the seventeenth century came John Pablo Bonet, another Spanish monk, with dactylology, or the finger alphabet, and in our own countury we have had John Braldwood and Drs. Mitchell and Ackerly and Pect and Gallaudet, who have given to uncounted thousands of those whose tongues were forever silent the power to spell out on the air by a manual alphabet their thoughts about this world and their hopes for the next. We rejoice in the brilliant inventions in behalf of those who were born dumb. One of the most Impressive audiences I ever addressed was in the far west, an audience of about C00 persons, who had never heard a sound or spoken a word, an interpreter standing beside me while I addressed fhem. I congratulated that audience on two advantages they had over the most of us the one that they escaped hearing a great many disagreeable things and on the other fact that they escaped saying things they were sorry for afterward. Yet after all the alleviations a shackled tongue is an appalling limitation. But we are not this morning speaking of congenial mutes. We mean those who are born with all the faculties cf vocalization and yet have been struck by the evil one mentioned In the text the dumb devil to whom Christ called, when he said, "Tlioa dumb nd deaf spirit, I charge thee, eome ouv of him." Silence Sometime a Orlie. There has been apotheoslsution of silence. Someone ha.i said ulVence is golden, and sometimes the greatest triumph Is to keep your mouth, shut. But sometimes silence Is a crime and the direct result of tho baleful Influence of the dumb devil ol our text. There i3 hardly a man or woman who has not been present on some occasion when the Christian religion became a target for raillery. Perhaps It was over In the store some day when

there was not much going on and the clerks were In a group, or It was In the factory at the noon spell, or It was out on the farm under the trees while you were renting, or it was in the clubroom, or it v.is in a social circle, or it was in tho street on the way homo from business, or it was cn some occasion which you remember without my describing it. Someone 2:0t tho laugh on the Bible and caricatured the profession of religion ns hypocrisy, or made a pun out of something that Christ said. Tho laugh started, and you joined in, and not one word of protest did you utter. What kept you silent? Modesty? Xo. Incapacity to answer? Xo. Lack of opportunity? No. It was a bio v.- on both ycur lips by the wing of the dumb devil, if someone should malicrn your father or mother or wife or husband or child, you would flush up quick and cither with an indignant word or doubled up fist make response. And yet here is our Christian religion which has done so. much for you and ?o much for the world that it will take all eternity to celebrate it, and yet when it was attacked you did not so much .as say: "I differ. I object. I am sorry to hear you say that. There is another side to this." Ycu Christian people ought in such times as these to go armed, not with earthly weapons, but with the sword of the spirit. You ousht to have four or five questions with which you could confound any man who attacks Christianity. A man 90 years old was tellingmehow he put to flight a scoffer. My aged friend said to the skeptic, "Did you ever read the history of Joseph in the Bible?" "Yes," said tho man. "it is a fine story and as interesting a story as I ever read." "Well, now," said my old friend, "suppose that account of Joseph stopped half way?" "Oh," said the man, "then it would not be entertaining." "Well, now," said my friend, "we have in this world only half of everything, and do you not think that when we hear the last half things may be consistent and that then we may find that God was right?" SHenc Gives Consent. Oh, friends, better load up with a few interrogation points! You cannot afford to be silent when God and the Bible and the things of eternity are assailed. Your silence gives consent to the bombardment of your Father's house. You allow a slur to be cast on your mother's dying pillow. In behalf of the Christ, who for you went through the agonies of assassination on the rocky bluff back of Jerusalem, you dared not face a sickly joke. Better load up with a few questions, so that next time you will be ready. Say to the scoffer: "My dear sir, will you tell me what makes the difference between the condition of woman in China and the United States? What do you think of the sermon on the mount? How do you like the golden rule laid down in the Scriptures? Are you in favor of the Ten Commandments? In your large and extensive reading have j'ou come across a lovelier character than Jesus Christ? Will you please to name the triumphant deathbeds of infidels and atheists? How do you account for the fact that among the out and out believers in Christianity were such persons as Benjamin Franklin, John Ruskin, Thomas Carlyle, Babington Macaulay, William Penn, Walter Scott, Charles Kingsley, Horace Bushneil, James A. Garfield, Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Admiral Foote, Admiral Farragut, Ulysses S. Grant, John Milton, William Shakespeare, Chief Justice Marshall, John Adams, Daniel Webster, George Washington? How do you account for their fondness for the Christian religion? Among the innumerable colleges and universities of the earth will you name me three started by infidels and now supported by infidels? Down in your heart are you really happy in the position you occupy antagonistic to the Christian religion? When do you have the most rapturous views of the next world?" Go at him with a few such questions, and he will get so red in the face as to suggest apoplexy, and he will look at his watch and say he has an engagement and must go. You will put him in a sweat that will beat a Turkish bath. You will put him on a rout compared with which our troops at Buil Run made no time at all. Arm yourself, not with arguments, but with interrogation points, and I promise you victory. Shall such a man as you, shall such a woman as you, surrender to one of the meanest spirits that ever smoked up from the pit the dumb devil spoken of in the text? Public Recognition of God. Do not let the world deride the church because of all this, for the dumb devil is just as conspicuous in the world. The great political parties assemble at the proper time to build platforms for the candidates to stand on. A committee of each party is appointed to make the platform. After proper deliberation, the committees come in with a ringing report, "Whereas," and "Whereas." and "Whereas." Pronunciamentos ail shaped with the one idea of getting the most votes. All expression in regard to the great moral evils of the country ignored. Xo expression in behalf of temperate living, for. that would lose the vote of the liquor traffic. Xo expression in regard to the universal attempt at the demolition of the Lord's day. Xo recognition of God in the history of nations, for that would lose the vole of atheists. But "Whereas," and "Whereas," and "Whereas." Xine cheers will be given for the platform. The dumb devil of the text puts one wing over the one platform and the other wing over tho other platform. Those great conventions are opened with prayer by their chaplains. If they avoided platitudes and told the honest truth in their prayers they would say: "O Ixird, we want to be postmasters and consuls and foreign ministers and United States district attorneys. For that we are hero, and for that we will strive till the election next November. Give us office or we die. Forever and ever, amen." The world, to say the least, Is no better than the church on this subject of silence at the wrong time. In other words, Is it not time for Christianity to become pronounced and aggressive as never before? Take sides for God and sobriety and righteousness. "If the Ixrd be God, follow him; If Baal, then follow him." Have you opportunity of rebuking a sin? Rebuke it. Have you a chance to cheer

a disheartened soul? Cheer it. Hav you & useful word to speak? Speak It. IJ Up and Doing Be out and out, up and down for righteousness. If your ship is afloat on the Pacific ocean of God's mercy, hang out your colors from tho masthead. Show your passport if you have one. Do not smuggle your soul into the harbor of heaven. Speak out for God! Close up the chapter of lost opportunities and open a new chapter.

F.efore you get to tho door on your way out shake hands with someone and ask him to join you on the road J to heaven. Do not drive up to heaven in a two wheeled "sulky" with room only for one, and that yourself, but get the bigqe.-t gospel wagon you can find and pile it full of friends and neighbors and shout till they hear you all up and down the shies, ''Come with us, and we will Co you good, for the Lord hath promise;! goo 1 concerning Israel." The opportunity for pood which you may considor insignificant miy b tremendous for results, as v.'lien on the sea Captain Haldan-"1 swore at th? ship's crew with an oath that wished them all in perdition, and a Scotch sailor touched his cap and said, "Captain. God hears prayer, and we would ue uauiy on 11 your wisn were an- i swercd." Captain Haldane was con vkted by the- sailor's remark and con- ; verted and became the means of the j salvation of his brother Robert who aau ut'cu au iiniut'i, mm i;r:n nooert became ,1 minister of the gospel, and under his ministry the godless Felix Xeff became the world renowned mis- I sionary of the cross, and the worldly j Merle d'Aubigne became the author of "The History of the Reformation" and ! will be the glory of the church for all I ages. Perhaps you may do as much as the Scotch sailor who just tipped his cap and used one broken sentence by which the earth and the heavens are still resounding with potent influences. ! Do something for God, and do it right away or you will never do it at all. Time flies away fast. The while we never remember; How soon our life here Grows old with the year That dies with the next December! ABOUT THE INSANE. Manager of Asylums Afjreo That Lunacy li on the Increase. For a few years reports of managers of asylums for the insane have generally agreed that insanity is ou the increase in this country, the feverish character of life being assigned as a potent cause, says the New York Evening Post. Only occasionally has it been suggested that the conclusions a3 to the increase were wrong and that the larger number of insane found in puulic institutions indicated a more general rtsoit to such institutions rather than an moase m the rat-o of insane to population. home support for this theory is found in a reevnt an- I nounccment by the Indiana b :ard of state charities. The board thinks it 1 sate to say that insanity is not increasing proportionately in Indiana. Possibly, could we sift the poor-asylum population and verify our iiguies, we should find that a less proportionate ! number of our population is insane than was the case twenty ycarr. ago." From the most reliable statistics obtainable it is learned that the ratio of insane to the population in Indiana In 1SS0 was one in ÖG5. Xo figures for 1890 are available, but in 1S92 the ratio was stated to be approximately one to C00. In 1S9S the ratio, based upon the population estimated by the bureau of statistics, was thought to be one to G75. Taking the number that year (4,300) and using the population of 1900, the ratio would be one to ."S3. Using the figures tabulated in the office of the board, the ratio would be, according to the census of 1900, one to 53S. As explaining how lists of the iruane are sometimes unduly swelled, the board says that feeble-minded or epileptic persons and those in a senile condition are often classified as insane, particularly by almshouse managers. NEW STYLE OF LIFEBOAT. Invention of Charles Mayo Lauuchcd it South Chicago. A new form of lifeboat, which it 1 believed will result in the saving of many lives at sea, was launched at 1 o'clock this afternoon from the yards of the Cuthbert Boat Building company, Ninety-second street and the Calumet river. It is the invention of Charles Mayo, formerly of the British navy, and employed in the Cuthbert yard. The lifeboat is constructed in the shape of a barrel, being abort twenty feet long and composed of two cylinders, one inside of the other. The width is the same as an ordinary lifeboat, and the capacity of the craft is given as fifty persons. The space between the two shells will be filled with compressed air, to supply the occupants when the hatches ?re battened down in a heavy sea. The inner shell is pivoted at the ends and weighted at the bottom, so that it will maintain an upright position, no matter how heavj' the sea. This will prevent the occupants from being injured by being thrown about the inside through the tossing of the waves. The outer shell is made of sheet iron, in much the same way that metallic lifeboats are built. The inner shell is of aluminum, with automatic aluminum hatches, which will close instantly when one enters the boat. In its present form the boat is intended for use as a lifeboat on vessels, but it is believed that improvements can be made on it so that it will b available for use by life saving crews. Mich boat will weigh about 3,000 pounds and can be carried on davits like an ordinary lifeboat and lowered to the water in the samp way. Original Idea in Wedding. TlidV li:ivo thoir rwn J .1 t.
