The building plan of tho eatthquake pioof palace for the Clown Pilnco of Japa'i show:, thut the Japanese archi tects have llnnlly given over their Ideas In favor of those which weie flit illusttoted here. Formeily the Japan ese believed that the lighter the fnbrlc of the building the moie easily it woulJ ilde the mound swell nf n tmmiiin,. and they stuck to tho engaging fantasy! uespite prosit ate bamboo walls and falling tiles, for many yeats after bet ter methods had been demonstinted. At ono time then- was a disposition to adopt Ii of. Milne's advice and test all structures on cannon balls deposited In u socket In Mono foundations, the idea being that the balls would move under the shock of the e.nthquake and lellevo tho stiuln upon tho house. Hut the ud vlco never became popular, and now the Japanese have come to the point In their most significant building, of depending upon tho cage-like stiuetuie Of Steel. Of Wllllh thl Chlnnlnln r..1l- flco was the euillfst type In this city. Tito palace will not, of course, lie high, and narrow like the modern office building, and will not need much of the lutluust which gives such stiuctiiu thelr peculiar shape. Hut tho piinelplp of knitting the whole mass together, not only with sides and floor nnd loof suppoits of struetutal steel, but with longitudinal nnd horizontal hi.ir.es ,f the same matcilnl. ha.s been chosen, and as a lesult the young Crown iPtlnco win nave me sarest lesidento in his earthquake-smitten cniphe, It Is be lleved that n building like this will withstand any seismloconvulslonwhleh is not accompanied by a subsidence of the earth. In that icsnect the new pnlaco may have qr lnekv n hiitniv ..n Japan's ancient bionze idol Waliutsu, which nun passed UHOUgll llinumci.l)Ie earthquakes, and has twice Jtad Its wooden temple swept fiom over ita AflVPPtiQPTTlOllt TaTTIAPPAW head by tidal waves, nnd yet, owing to Its great weight and solidity, hai como through tho experience undis turbed. FROM FROST TO FLOWERS. First Trip of the New York and Florida Limited. When tho New York and Florida Limited rolled out of Jersey City on January 1G, for its first flight of the winter, tho season of migration to the sunny south-land was formally and brllllnntly opened. This edition de luxe of travel operated by the South ern Railway System and connections, was greatly admired by crowds gath ered at tho start. When the last for tunato passengers arrived on tho 12.10 ferries from New York, and when rit 3.14 p. m. the magnificent train flashed out from Hroad Street Station, Phila delphia, for the magical swiftness of tho change from winter Icy grip to tho balmy summer skies of Florida in ono day of travel. The ttaln which began this regular winter service on January 10 will bo run dally, except Sunduy, until tho early part of April, and for the In augtnal trip all the nccommodntlons nvallnblo had been engaged long In advance. "No wonder It's tilled up every day of tho season," said un old railroad man yesterday. "That New Yotk and Florida Limited is all the advettlsemcnt It wnnts Itself. Just look at It and go aboard of It once. Thnt's tho most luxurious train In tho w ot Id, nnd I've looked over most of the crack livers." Tho train which moused the veter an's expert's highest admiration was composed of Pullman Compartment cars, Draw Ing-Icoom Sleepers. Llbraiy. Dining nnd Observation cars, furnished and finished with unique taste and tlchness. in the Compattment cars, each wns complete In Itself, to be used singly or en suite; while the Drawing room Sleepers were the ones used by i-resuient MeKlnley and party In their recent tours. Tho Library suggested the reading room of a perfectly ap pointed club, with easy chairs and so fas, writing desks, nnd the latest peri odicals. The Obsetvatlon car at tho end ot the train, with sides and ends of plate glnss, nnd a spacious enclosed platform wns a verltnble sun-parlor with piazza attachment. From bath rooms to barber shop nothing was lacking to replace eveiy comfort and convenience left behind by the pilgrim. In house, hotel, or club, no matter how excellently appointed. This train Is whirled through solid, a flying palace, between New Yorn and St. Augustine, excepting one Pull man DrawlnR;room Sleeping enr which leaves the train at Hlackvllle, S. C, and goes to Aiken nnrl Ainme,, n.-., one Pullman Drawing-room sleeper wiicii leaves tne train at Jacksonville and goes through to Tampa. To leave New York at lunch hours of ono day. by the New York and Florida Limited, nnd bo sti oiling In tho palm g.lt dens of St. AllCtlstlnn n ,.mmU r bonis befoic one needs to dress for uinner the next nfternoon, is to lenv discounted the fnliv t.iln .f iii "t.'i.. ing Caipet." rioin Januaty to Mnv. in v,n i. scarcely mote than an over night flight is me calender of steam racing with the calender of the sun. The sensons seem to be flashed by as if tho tound were completed In a day. Instead of i .tnr. Yet Floilda Is four or five months distant In air and sky nnd sea and vet mil, i messing lovellness. St Augustine, whither the pilgrim Is botne In his home on spinning wheels, Is an ideal entrance Into chaim of the" Florida winter time. The tiir-tnn.,,.. ntmospheto of old Spain lingers jet after three stony centuries, in the crooked stieets, vhllo ttlm Noithein maidens play golf atound the gnv and ancient fort nnd city wall, and sttoll about the pilatlal hotels which aro wot Id famous for luxuiy and har monious splendor of ntchltecture. From Jacksonville or St. Augustine, traveb is by the New Yoik nnd Florl di Limited aie able to reach any of the atti active legions of the se.i w ashed and sun-bathed peninsula, to Tampa and the West Coast, and fur ther on to Key West and Havana, or down the Hast Coast to the tioplcal paiadlso of the Indian tlver and Lake Woith with the supeib chain of hotels, nnd fiom Palm Beach acioss to Nns sua. or direct from Miami to Havana The Interior of Florida also Is ftlleii with popular and charming resorts by blue lakes nnd pine foiests and mango gioves. which are reached soonest and most pleasantly by tho Southern Hall way Sjstem. Florida diaws moie winter bluls of passage to her wltch eiles every year and In many favored legions the hotel accommodations have had to be notably Increased since last jear. What Is called cold weather ! that latitude is never mote than a day or two of bracing air, quickly for gotten In the flooding sunshine an I soft winds which calls to the out-of-donr life of the northern summer. Whatever the habits or bent of occu pation, Florida in these davs fails not to satisfy bountifully, whethet It b hunting, fishing, sailing, bathing, golf, tennis, blcyillng, loallnj.'. the toclety life and color of Har Hntbor or New pott or the pursuit of health and strength for theit own sake. lhe .Neiv Yoik and Flotld.i Limited leaving Philadelphia dally at 3.14 p. m. flies to and fio, a mighty shuttlecock ot steel, weaving the reasons to its will and setting nt defiance all the calen ders invented by tho wise men; from w Intei to spring, to summer in a daj nnd the tiansfnimatlon wrought while on the most magnificent train in the woild.

Wind cave, thirteen miles from Hut Springs. S. D . Is visited nnnimllu hv about 3,000 people, nlthough tho place is iioi geneiauy Known to American citizens. At present tho admissions average about 3.000 anniiallw ami fin not jleld enough revenue to pay tho lawyeis who are contesting the owner ship of tho propertj. Tho cave Is now in the possession of a. man named Folsom, a distant rela tive of drover Cleveland's wife. Ho holds the fort by virtue of a Judgment on mechanic's Hen, having been em ployed to explore the cave and falling to receive his pay therefor. Wind cave Is reached by stages over bad roads. Arriving nt tho cave, the first impressions are disappointing. The visitors nre prepared for tho trip by putting on old shoes and white skull caps, and when nil are ready are: Riv en a candle each. Mr. Folsom then unlocks a door, which reveals a room Just large enough to cover a trap in the floor. The trap pwlngs upward and the visitors go down in slngl-1 illo by a narrow, precipitous flight of steps to a depth of about 100 feet. Tho walks and passages are then reached, lending at Intervals Into tho various chambers, of which there are 2,100 In the cave. There are futther descents until one gets some 600 feet blow tho entrance. In pome of tho chambers It Is im possible to stand erect, nnd pome aro qulto lofty, but the connecting pas sages nre very low. Ladles' drosses ate decorated with the drippings of candles, and the ntrugglo to get through the narrow passages Is such ns to make manj' declare that ono visit to Wind cavo Is qulto enough. The cave has been explored a dis tance of ninety-one miles. Four jears of labor and $26,000 In money have been expended upon It thin far. Like manv of nature's secrets. Wind sive wns discovered by accident. The storj Is that Mike Hlnghnm. a hunter, shot a deer, which rati until It dropped near a clump of huhes. When Mike reached tho spot, where the deer lay, he noticed n sttong draft of nlr, which seemed to come from behind tho bushes Ho wns led to Investigate nnd found that It fame from nn open ing in the side of the mountain. The wind was so strong thit when he thiew his hnt Into the hole it wns blown out with such force as to fall twenty feel away. He w ent homo and reported w bat he had seen to his brothtr. who wns In credulous nnd asked Mike If he had been dt Inking. Nevertheless tho brother was Induced to vWt the place nnd the cap experiment was tried, but meanwhile the wind had changed nnd tho cap went Into the cavo a" rapidly as It was blown out tho day before. An investigation of the Interior, sup plemented by excavation. W to tho b'lief that tho cave could be utilized as a great natural curiosltj. but as it was still the property or me govern ment It was necessary to obtnin this under the United States lnnd laws.

Jan. 18 -Stuck market epil ations showed no marked chango from the business prevailing for some time past nnd Hssltudc was the characteris tic. Ono railroad stuck reflected n fair demand, notably the Norfolk and West em Issues and Union Pacific. Tho Bal timore and Ohio stocks were also bought in moderate volume. Yesterday's move ment In leather, from which speculator luitied (he market would rceclvo nn im pulse, dwindled away and profit taking chpressul the price. Sugar was ad vanced In a desultory manner during tno early pirt of the dav, but in the nftei noon bioke over live points fiom the top level and unsettled tho whole market. Covering l the Ixars in sugar nnd tho l.eto demand for t'nlon Paeltle stiffened the m irkct again and served to retrlovo a part of the declines, making the elo-o llrm and the net changes mixed. There was a very marked absorption of new and reotganlzatlon bonds, which served is n h.iikirrminrl of strength to the whole market fur secutltles. Iho undertono wns unmistakably firm and in splto of the very light demand there was no press ure to sell stocks. The further reduction in the Hank of England's private rato ot discount and the weekly leturn of tho bank served to confirm confidence In tho money outlook. The strength In London on this score and on the hopes engen dered b the nuugro news fiom South Africa causes some reflected strength In the New York stock market. Reserves continue to accumulate In tho New Yoik banks both bv reason of tho retlux of funds from the Interior, the deposit of Intei nal revenue collections with tho banks and extraordinary government dis bursements by the sub-treasury on ac count of the pensions. Tho stock market ilemund for money on call continuing very light, funds nre pressing more nnd more foi emplovmint in time loans, which ate quoted ns low us Ah cents on all rail road stock collateral. JJxttaordlnury loans aro even reported at 4 per cent, nnd mercantile paper of a high grade Is coming into additional demand ut 5 per cent. Today's strong undertone In stocks was emphasized by tho good leports re ceived during the day of railroad earn ings for the second week In January. The hardening tendency of sterling ex change Is viewed with tranquility bo tauso tho bank of Hngland has with drawn Its concessions on gold exports, thus raising the gold export point for exchange clenily above that nt which gold has recently gone out.
