THE WORLD'S FAIR. Senator Ingall's Pen Picture Items of Interest. John J. Ingalls in N. Y. World.

AD COLERIDGE stood in the great peristyle at noon on the 15th day of AoriL 1893, he

might have looked

upon a scene recalling, but far transcending, the splen

dor of his melodious and incomparable dream whose fragmentary rhythm haunts the memory of men.

In Xavadu did Kubla Khan A stately pleasure dome decree, Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Through caverns measureless by man i Down to a sunless sea. A sullen and menacing vapor brooded over the sunless inland sea, whose waters, agitated by the northern gale, broke in turbid billows against the marble terraces of the

Towards the obt 4 scurelorizon sails whitened dimly s in the haze and nearer the silhouettes of bulky steamers with level - trails of black smoke were etched in I the thickening gloom. Westward the domes, towers and pinnacles, the statues, arcades, fountains and pavilions of an incredible aggregation of palace and temples rose like an exhalation from the plain delicate and graceful in color, mass and outline as the fragile architecture of the skies. Never elsewhere on earth has an assemblage of structure so vast, so numerous and of such artistic beauty been reared before. To one who can recall the repulsive wiiste of barren sand,' a few months, since without form and void, a sunken marsh of hopeless sterility, the contrast is marvellous and bewildering. Genius, wealth and labor, the magicians of modern civilization, waved their wanX above the desert and it vanished, Like the ' mirage, as entrancing and as transitory, rises a stately series of majestic edifices, with courts and avenues in which Roman coaquerors might assemble victorious armies co

will be as marked as the difference between the ships which comprised Col ambuss fleet and the improved steel-clad steamers of to-day. The De Witt Clinton was constructed in 1831 by the West Point Locomotive Works, and is an exact copy of the first locomotive ever used in America. The weight of the locomotive is four tons. Its cylinders are behind instead of in front of the drivers. They are 5 inches in diameter, with a 16-inch stroke. The drivers are clumsily built wheels 4 feet 6 inches in diameter. There is no cover over the rear of the engine to answer as a cab for the engineer and fireman. All the levers and machinery under the engineer s control are exposed to the weather. In nlace of a tender to the engine

is a small platform directly back of the engine, supported by four wheels. It has sufficien t space to carry four barrels of water, with a 4 'wood-box" for fuel between them. The maximum speed of the engine, even with a light load, is fifteen miles an hour. There is a steam guage and a safety-valve, but no whistle. The engineer announced the approach to a station with a fishhorn or a small handbell. The four coaches attafhd to the D!t Witt Clinton resembled ordinary omnibuses. They have wooden wheels with iron flanges. There are springs between the axles and body of the coaches, but even at a slorate of speed tbe passengers would receive a jarring almost equal to that received in one of the Fifth avenue stages. There is no glass in the windows of the coaches, the passengers being protected from storms by oil-cloth curtains. The viking ship which is to be exhibited at the Chicago World's Fair sailed from Bergen, Norway, May 1, with twelve men on board. Her measurements are: Length, 77 feet: beam, 16 feet, and from gunwale to base of keel, 6 feet. This boat was

Not Proud of His Election. Xlarper's Young People. In this country when it comes to the cast ing of the ballots, tho person elected to the position awarded by the suffrage of the people is always extremely proud of the result, even though he may not be specially desirous of holding office. In other countries, too. the recipient of the greatest number of ballots at the polls is apt to swell with pride over ; the outcome; of the voting; but there ! is a case on record in Japan where j the winner at the polls was not only !

j sorry for his success, but came, j

through that success, subsequently to wish he had never been born. This was in the village of Awa, and the person honored or dishonored by the majority vote was a Jap by the r ame of Abi Tanihei. It seems that the village of Awa was harassed by a midnight robber whom nobody could detect. The head of the hamlet summoned the entire male population under his charge., and directed every man to write the name of the person whom he suspected, and to deposit the paper in a box, Fifteen ballots bcre the name of Abi Tanihei, the rest being blanks. The man whom everybody distrusted was so much overcome with astonishment that he made a full confession, and went to prison. In a more civilized country an incident of this sort could never happen, and it is to be hoped that it never will be tried. If Abi Tanihei had really been an honest man it would have made no difference in his fate, which would, indeed have been a dreadful thing. Told by Humorists.

The original was an open boat, the bow and stern of which terminated in a point. The boat has a cover to shelter the sailors from the wind and the spray.

celebrate their triumph:, terraces on whi$;h courtiers might hold their revels, pavilions where Plato might rehearse his philosophy, placid lagoons beneath whose rial tos the gondolas of Venice will float, and treasures of art in whose contemplation "toil may forget its wonted task and love her promised hour." Architecture is perhaps the highest expression oi the human intellect. The statue and the painting are the decorations and ornaments of the temple, and the oratorio is sung at the dedication. The creations of he greatest architectural genius of every age and every people, the Doric, Ionic and Corinthian, the classic and composite have all been here reproduced with fidelity of detail as an appropriate environment in which to display the latest and best achievements of tbe civilization of the nineteeth cen

tury. It is a miracle in lath and plaster, stucco, pine, lumber and white paint.

The statues are shells. The columns are hollow. The marble balustrades grew in the forests of Michigan and Wisconsin. The mortar cracks and scales, disclosing the delusion. Distance lends enchantment, but the art is there. It charms and awes and inspires like the Parthenon, tuough the arches and portals are fiimsy as the shack of the pi oneer on the prairie. Admiration is not lessened by the thought that in a year the insubstantial pageant will fade , and dissolve, like the vision of ProsH pero, leaving not a rack behind. One of the exhibits to oe made by the New York Central Railroad at the World's Fair will be an old rat-He-trap locomotive, the De Witt Clinton, &nd four passenger cars, ueh as otir ancestors rode in when fche first American railroad was con

"I m going to have a party on my birttdav," said Mollie. "What kind?" asked Jennie. "Oh, I don't know. Republican, I guess. That's what papa is."

The number of Indians originally in the United States, he says, has often been estimated in the millions, "even as high as twenty-five millions." The Bureau of Ethnology, however, has looked into the subject, and discovered that there were really only somewhere between 500.000 and a million, of whom at least 230,000 still survive. The Major hints that we have already reached the point where we may hope to save the remnant, to be absorbed into modern civilization.

She will cross the ocean under

sail. She carries thirty-two oars.j

and when she reach as the lakes twenty sailors will join the crew, and the sail will be taken down. The viking ship has attracted much attention in Norway. The people are very proud of her. They say she is much more interesting than the caravels of Columbus, because the Spanish boats were made from pictures, while the Viking U built from the original.

An exhibit has arrived on the grounds which have more than a passing interest for every American citizen and every student of American history. It is the original and celebrated ' Long Tom," the gun. which according to the historian Abbott, cut as great a figure as "Hickory" Jackson's cotton bales in t hesuccess of the United States in the war of 1812.

Housekeepers Should Remember. The Government Chemists, after having analyzed all the principal brands of baking powder in the market, in their reports placed the "Royal" at the head of the list for strength, purity and wholesomeness; and thousands of tests all over the country have further demonstrated the fact that its qualities are, in every respect, unrivaled. Avoid all baking powders sold with a gift or prize, or at a lower price than the Royal, as they invariably contain alum, lime or sulphuric acid, and render the food unwholesome.

Somewhat Interesting. The fair patient had described her symptoms with much volubility and minuteness, but paused a moment for breath. ''Madame," gasped the doctor, 1 'please let me see your tongue. Thanks. Oblige me by holding it in that position while I write a prescription.' The threatened disbandment of the Delaware militia results from a feeling among the rural voters, who rule Delaware, that such an organization is an expensive toy. The whole State Legislators and judges, costs much less than $100,000 a year, and to appropriate $5,000 a year to what seems mere show strikes the rural voter as wild extravagance. The Governor, some years ago, gave notice that no more militia companies could be organized with the aid of the State. The pranks of tornadoes will always be a matter for wonder, to scientists as well as to the people at large. Take last week's storms for instance. Up in Iowa it came upon two hay-stacks side by side. One of them was turned completely around to the right, and the other to the left. After doing this it gathered up half the hay in each and scattered it over half the township. When found, the hundreds of little bits of hay were each discovered to be twisted neatly up like pieces of rope. Physicians' prescriptions have failed to reach many cases of rheumatism known to have been subseqontly cured by Salvation Oil.
