WORLD'S FAIR HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS. 8t. Louis Hostelries Prepared to Handle Vast Throngs—Prices Not to Be In- creased—Hotsl Inside of the Ex- position Grounds With a Ca- pacity For 6,000 Guests. Ample hotel accommodations have been provided for the World's Fair visitors at St. Louis both within and outside of the Exposition grounds. The Exposition management has or- ganized a free information service. A pamphlet has been issued for gratui- tous circulation explaining many of the conveniences that have been pro- vided. A list of all the-lhotels, with rates, is contained in this pamphlet. The entire city has beem canvassed, and many thousands of private housc- PORTION OF VARIED INDUSTRIES BUILD ING, WORLD'S FAIR. holders have arranged to receive visit ors. These houses are in every section of the city, and the rates at which guests will be received is a matter of record on the books of the bureau. The Inside inn, a hotel on the EX- position grounds, has a capacity for 68,000 guests. The Exposition manage- ment has control of the rates, which have been fixed at from $1.50 to $3.50 per day, European plan, including ad- mission to the grounds. On the Amer- ican plan the rates range from $3 to $5 per day. The hotel is 400 by 800 feet and is three stories high. There are more than 150 established hotels in St. Louis, and a signed agree- ment has been made between many of their managers with the Exposition of- ficials that rates shall not be raised during the Exposition period. Many new hotels have been built on sites ad- jacent to the Exposition grounds, and the published fixed rates warrant the assertion that no one need pay exor- bitant rates for accommodations either at hotels or private houses. Among the new hotels may be men- tioned the Hotel Napoleon Bonaparte, which stands at Clayton avenue and Skinker road, overlooking the Exposi- tion grounds. This hostelry will ac- commodate 3,000 persons. The rates, European plan, are from $1 to $5 per day. The Grand View hotel, south of the Exposition, on Oakland avenue, has a capacity for 3,000 guests, and the rates are §1 te $1.30 per day, Buropean, and $2 to $2.50 per day on the Amer- ican plan. The Kenilworth, on” West a capacity of 1,500 guests, with a rate of $1.30 per day. The above mentioned are a few of the new hotels that have been erected near the Bxpositiom grounds fer the accom- modation of Werld's Fair visitors. All told there are about twescore. AH are within easy walking distance, and all are situated on high ground, with esm- prehensive views of the grounds. All of the structures are wel built, and in some of them the most luxurious quar- ters sre obtainable. The rates are es- teblished and wil mot be increased dur- ing the Exposition. NEW MUSIC FOR WORLD'S FAIR Band Teurnament. Musical people and all whe appreci- ate good music may thank the World's Fair for thee “notable” compositions, written upon the invitation of the Ex- position management. These are the “Hymn of the West,” by the most distinguished living American poet, EBdmund Clarence Stedman, the music for which was written by Professor John K. Paine, whe is at the head of the music department of Harvard uni- versity; “Louisiana,” a march by Frank Vanderstuken, leader of the Cincinnati Orchestra; a waltz, “Along the Plaza,” by Henry K. Hadley of New York, who has won his laurels long before this as writer of operatic and other musical compositions. This music wil be heard publicly for the first time upon the opening of the Ex- position on Saturday, April. 30, and fre- quently thereafter in the musical pro- grammes of the greatest of world's fairs. These are the only official com- positions. Thirty thousand dollars will be given in prizes for the best bands at a tour- pament to be held during the Exposi- tion. All through the World's Fair the musical feature will be prominent. The most famous bands of the world are under contract to participate dur- ing considerable periods. Among these are Le Garde Republicaine band of | France, the Royal Grenadier band of | England, the American National bard, | Sousa’s band and others. COWS TRAINED FOR THE TEST Jerseys at the World’s Fair Are Ex- pected to Show That They Are Superior to All Other Breeds. The herd of Jersey cows assembled at th¢ World’s Fair at St. Louis to rep- resent the Jessep breed in the universal dairy test has been inspected and has been pronounced in perfect condition and ready to start upon their six months’ grind on a day’s notice. W. R. Spann of the Burr Oak Jersey farm, Dallas, Tex. was the inspector, ind he was thorough in his work. He passed a week on the Kxposition grounds, and much of the time was spent in and around the Jersey cattle barn, and the condition of each indi- vidual of the herd of forty cows was definitely ascertained. Never was more intelligent and care- ful treatment lavished on animals. No athlete was ever better trained for a contest requiring the development of speed, skill and endurance than has been this herd of Jerseys. When it is known that this herd is to compete with selected hords of Holsteins, Short- horns, Brown Swiss and Devous, and the herd making the best score for the production of butter, milk and cheese is to establish the standing of the .various breeds, the importance of the cews being in perfect condition may be understood. : For a solid year the Jerseys have Deen in constant training. Twenty- five cows will participate in the com- test. Cows were selected from the best herds in the United States. Dr. J. J. Richardson, president of the American Jersey Cattle Club, un- der whose auspices this entry is made, toured ‘Europe and visited the famed Isle of Jersey, where the breed origi- nated. He was seeking the best cows, but returned satisfied that Europe could show no cows that were better than those bred in America. Though only twenty-five cows will participate in the test, forty cows were selected. They were assembled at Jerseyville, Ill, a year ago. This is near St. Louis, and the cattle have be- come acclimated. Last December they were removed to St. Louis. The cows are the property of individual members of the club and are loaned for the term of the test. C. T. Graves, a breeder at Maitland, Mo., was selected as the superintendent to have charge of the cattle, and he has been highly com- plimented by Dr. Richardson and In- spector Spann for the wonderfully fine condition in which he has placed the herd. A series of model dairy barns have been built for the breeds competing in the test. The barns are octagonal in form, and are so arranged that the cows are in the center and a wide promenade permits visitors to pass around and view the cows as they stand in their stalls. The milking and feeding are to be done in plain view of the public, and representatives of the various herds will at all times have access to all the barns to see that no sharp practices are indulged in.. The test not only consists in show- ing the amount of butter, milk and cheese produced, but the cost of pro- duction is taken into consideration. Every ounce of food given each cow is weighed and carefully recorded. When the cows are milked, the milk is com- veyed to a model creamery in the Ag- rigultural building, where it is tested and made Into ‘butter and cheese and where all records are carefully kept. The Jersey cattle participated in a shnilar test at Chicago during the Co- lumbian Exposition and carried off first honors. Superintendent Graves is sanguine over the result of the present test. He says that the Jerseys bave always demonstrated their superiority over all other breeds when placed in competi- tion, and this time they will show te better advantage than ever. Not only is the Jersey milk richer im butter fat than the milk of any other breed, says Mr. Graves, but it can be produced at a less cost. The Jersey cows are the smallest of the standard breeds, and he asserts that they censume less feed. They assimilate their food, and it is converted into milk and butter and ie not used in building up and sustaining a large carcass. “We are going to make all other _ breeds take.to the woods after this test,” sald Mr. Graves. “A few days ago I was testing some of our Jersey milk, and my hands were all sticky and greasy from the enormous amount of butter fat the milk contained. Mr. Yon Heyne, who is in charge of the Holsteins, sent over a quantity. of his milk for me to test. Of course, from a commercial standpoint, there was no comparison between the milk, but it was a pleasure to test his milk, for when I got through there was no grease on my hands. After this I will have a bucket of Holstein milk .arouynd handy to wash my hands in after testing our own rich Jersey milk.” The test begins May 16 and contin- ues 120 days. Unique California Map. A unique exhibit at the World's Fair was prepared by the agricultural de- partment of the University of Califor- nia. It is a large map, so colored as to show the character of the various soils of the state. It gives a clear idea of the situation and the extent of the arable and untillable sections. In the locali- ties that cannot be cultivated are shown the Sierras, the lava beds and the desert. The map indicates the lo- | cation of the cultivable portions of the mountains and Mohave plateau and ghows the nature of the foothills and valleys of that wonderful state. ADRIFT FOR TWO MONTHS. Adventure May Explain How Pacific Lands Were Peopled. . James W. Davidson, our consul in Formosa, has just told of a very re- markable journey made by sixteen natives of the Pelew Islands, who wer® picked up nearly dead on the island of Formosa. They were sav- ages who had never heard of For- mosa, but the wiwds and waves car- ried them to that far-off shore. Some Formosans saw the poor wretches one morning on a beach of their northeast coast; also three canoes, the like of which they had never seen before. The canoes were fitted with outrig- gers which helped to steady the little vessels among the waves. In other respects, also, they differed from canoes common in that part of the Malay archipelago. The men were scattered along the beach in a very weak and famished condition. Only two or three of them could speak, but no one understood their language. They were taken to the custom house, where they were well cared for and slowly increased in strength. Bvery one was greatly surprised when it was possible at last to learn the story of their adventures. The men had been fishing a few miles from one of the Pelew Islands, where they lived. A heavy gale came up and carried them away from their fishing grounds. . They had in their canoes a consid- erable quantity of fish, and during their long journey, while the sport of the waves and winds, they lived on fish, though when their original sup- ply was exhausted they were unable to catch a sufficient number to meet their needs. They drifted this way and that for sixty days, and had not the slightest jdea where they were when they finally came within sight of the moun- tains of Formosa. The next day they were cast up on the beach; and it speaks well for the strength of their craft as well as their own powers of endurance that they should have held out so long. When they had recovered sufficient strength to undertake the journey home they were sent to Hongkong, whence they obtained passage to the Caroline Islands, and soon after were taken home by a vessel plying in the island trade. Their friends welcomed them as though they had risen from the dead. This is one of the involuntary voy- ages of which so many records have now been collected that anthropolo- gists believe they adequately explain the means by which the widely sever- ed bits of land in the wastes of the Pacific received their inhabitants. In some way or another the per- sons found on these bits of land must have been brought there; but the problem how they were transported could not be satisfactorily explained as the result of the expertness of oceanic peoples in navigation. About 10 years ago a patient Ger- man student named Otto Sittig col- lected a great many instances of the involuntary voyages of these oceanic peoples from one island ww another. He found that many of them while out at sea in their small craft, had been carried over 1,000 miles to other islands.—Chicago Inter-Ocean. The Paris of Siberia. Harry de Windt, the explorer, writes thus of Irkutsk, which he calls the Paris of Siberia: “It is an unfinished, slipshod city, a strange mixture of squalor and grandeur, with tortuous, ill-paved streets, where the wayfarer looks instinctively for the ‘no-thor- oughfare’ board. There is one long, straggling main street, with fairly good shops and buildings, but beyond this Irkutsk remains much the same dull, rearly-looking place that I re- member in the early ‘30's before the railway had aroused the town from its slumber of centuries. Even now the place is absolutely primitive and uncivilized from a European point of view, and the yellow Chinese and beady-eyed Tartars who throng the business quarters are quite in keeping with the oriental filth around, unre- deemed by the usual Eastern color and romance. On fine mornings the marketplace presents a curious and interesting appearance, for here you may see the celestial in flowery silk elbowing the fur-clad Yakute and Bok- hara shaking hands with Japan.” A Prize Blizzard Story. Charles Young of Monongahela, has badly frozen feet as a result of a foot - bath which he took one night. When about to retire he got a bucket of hot water in which to bathe his feet. The room was cold and he lay back on the bed, drawing the covers partly over him. With his feet in the water he fell asleep. He awakened in the morning to find his feet frozen in the bucket, the water having turned to a solid cake of ice. Physicians say they may not have to amputate the frczen members.— Philadelphia: North American. Plant Without Roots. There is a plant in Chili, similar one in Japan, called the “flower of the air.” It is so called because it appears to have no root, and is never fixed to the earth. It and a twines round a dry tree or sterile rock. Each shoot produces two or three flowers like a lily—white, trans. parent, and odoriferous. It is cap- able of being transported 600 or 700 miles, and vegeta as it travels sus- | pended on a twig.—Exchange. i Meat dg Market!
