It has become known in administra<ioa circles that the proper way to pro■ounce the name of the Infanta is to address her as “Your Royal Highness, Abe Princess A-00-lal-e-a. ” Am attempt will probably be made during the unild Indian summer weather of this fall to sink the foundation of a government lighthouse off Cape Hatteras. The shifting sands and variable winds make such a thing impossible at any other season. Thk Persian shah returned home with an acquired taste for many of the 'minor articles of western civilization and comfort. Thereupon he sent a special envoy to Paris to purchase numIzevless umbrellas, walking sticks, eye glasses, bird cages, mattresses and a garden hose. In England 130,000 velocipedes are tamed out annually. In France, where the machine first appeared, its «*e was Mmited through prejudice. People laughed at it. Now there is an army of 300,000 proprietary wheelmen in that country, without counting an immense number of amateurs who hire machines. Another descendant of Columbus the First was at the exposition recently. He is a ship’s carpenter from Buffalo, N. Y., bearing the name of Alexius Columbus. He is the sixth descendant of "the admiral, his family being descendants, illegitimately, of Luis, a grandson •of Columbus. Alexius most nearly resembles the Latta portrait of his anraetrrr

Nearly or quite the whole of the •d&im to California property recently j ©warded to the heirs of Gen. John C. | Fremont will go to a naval officer who bought up the claims of other heirs. I He will be made rich by the operation, 1 ©nd if he shall remain in the navy will be one of the small company of officers 1 ’to whom the matter of pay is one of no nomen t. A young woman correspondent for a ' Boston paper, taking notes on the ' of the infanta in President I •Palmer’s room, attracted the lady’s at- i tention,and when Mr. Palmer explained i "that tiie correspondent was not one of the guests, but merely engaged in earning her daily bread, the princess looked ©ver to her and smiled and bowed with©ut an introduction. Thk exhibit in the government building of fish hatching is exciting intense I interest, crowds being qlways collected around the jars containing the eggs. I The roe have separated and the jars of ■ water are fairly alive with floating I ■«ggs and tiny jelly-like particles which as one looks closely resolve themselves ' into fish so minute and colorless as to | be scarcely perceptible. t =■ Among the interesting exhibits at the World’s fair is a model of the Nicaragua «anal, measuring thirty-five feet by five feet, which shows all the oceans, mountains, jungles, lakes, rivers and harbork "which makes up the proposed method • ©f communication between the Atlantic ; : and Pacific. In order to enhance the I realistic mature of the profile, real 1 water is used to cover the ocean and xT&kea, and this fills the canal and river. 1 Among the pieces of embroidery which Mme. Semeisehken, the Russian representative, brought over to the World’s fair, is a piece of linen, exquisitely embroidered by the Russian worn- I •en as a present to Mrs. Grover Cleve- i land, in token of their gratitude to the 1 Americans for their sending of relief to ■the Russians at the time of the famine. The design represents the ship which ■was sent to Russia with corn and pro visions.

A unique gold and silver dinner •service has been fashioned in London sfor his highness the Maharajah Gack"war of Baroda. It is for thirty-six persons, and all the knives, forks, spoons and small plate have been specially designed for the occasion, steel dies having been cut for each article. The complete service weighs over half a ton, and each piece of plate is stamped with the maharajah’s crown, scimitar and anemogram. Thomas A. Edison, the inventor, says that no person can be brought in close oonnection with the mysteries of nature or make a study of chemistry or-of law of growth without being convinced "that behind it all there is a supreme in■telligence. He says that he hopes to be atble some time to demonstrate the existence of such intelligence through ihe operation of these mysterious laws with Che certainty of a demonstration in mathematics. "New York has a display of plants in "the center dome of the Horticultural Stall, a garden in front of her state tmilding planted so that it will be -filled with plants in bloom the entire eewon, and five greenhouses full of flowers. In the dairy exhibit the state ’•how* three hundred varieties of butter wad one hundred and fifty of cheese.
