Irterwtlnj: TForid's I'alr Building to Bo Erected by New York. Ojio of the prettiest structures which, tnll be erected by Now York btate will be that for the mineral exhibit. Archi tect Ieacc Gf. Perry has just completed too drawings for it. They, call for a rectangular pavilion in pure Eoman Ionic architecture, 81x01x22 feet high. The four corners are to be sur mounted by balustrades; the caps of the fluted columns are to be richly carved; there will be an ornamental i rieze, and the spandrels will be deco- kew tore mistral tjlvilion. rated with mining implements worked into the ornamentation. Tho structure will bo of white and gold. There will be a balustrade all about the floor, except across the front. The front, or entrance, is of a concave half circle. Directly opposite the en trance an obelisk will rise to a height of thirty feet. This will be three leet square at the base and taper gradually to tho top. It will be composed of rocks illustrat ing the geological formation of the earth as has been developed by re search. The accompanj'ing illustration gives an excellent idea of how the com pleted pavilion will look. FAIR APPROPRIATIONS. Xlne Million Dollars to Be Spent br Horns and Foreign htstes.

The Irreprcmrhablo Body of Men Under Command of Col. KIco The Most Intelligent Pollc Torce Erer Orar? 'Ized. Special World's Fair Letter. When the exposition buildings at the world's fair grounds are thrown open to the world on the first of May, it is es timated that materials valued at 5350, 000,000 will be on exhibition. By an arrangement with the Underwriters National association the exposition company will place insurance to the amount of 20,000,000 on the buildincs and their contents. As the buildings stand to-dav they are valued at $20,000,- 000, including structures erected by the several states, and to protect them from fire every possible precaution has been taken. In addition to the maintenance of a battalion of the Chicago fire depart ment on the grounds, and a rigid en forcement of laws governing tho use of lights, fires in buildings, smoking on the grounds, etc., the Columbian guard was formed, every member of which, in addition to police porv ers conferred J COHJMBIAJI by the city of Chicago, is a member of a fire company and is drilled at regular intervals in the use of Babcock extin guishers, hose practice and ladder work. Should a fire occur in Jackson park to day four engine companies stationed within the groundB, three from the city, two hook and ladders, six hose carts and 600 Columbian guards could be re lied upon to answer the first alarm. The daily routine of a Columbian , guard is dull enough now, but when the exposition is opened, and thousands of visitors, each of whom will ask num berless questions, and who must be pro tected from accident aa well as tho depredations of pickpockets and sharp ers who will find their richest harvest in the throngs iniido the buildings, then will the guards have a busy time. Because of the peculiar requirements of the occasion directors of tho exposition hesitated long before adopting the pres ent system of policing Jackson parti Tho disadvantago of appointing patrol men after tlio municipal system was at once recognized, and it was finally deemed best to make tiho Columbian guard semi-militnry in character, leav ing the appointing power ha the hands of a chief, to be selected for his fitness in handling and organizing military bodies. At tho request of the expo sition directors President Harrison ordered CapL Edmund Rioe. Fifth in fantry, U. S. A., to report to Director General Davis, and Capt. Rico submit ted tho plan of organization which led to tho present organization. Tho Co lumbian guards was organized by tho exposition company with Capt. Rico placed in command with the rank of colonel. The new commander called to his assistance other military men, soma from the regmlar army, others from tho state militia, and the first call for troops was issued last September. Thero were hundreds of applicants, of whom less than 50 were accepted. The exactions of military qualifications as to height, weight and physical conditions proved a bar to many applicants, while others were rejected for lack of moral and mental fitness. Intelligence, good character, steady habits, and a physique that stands the test required of rfcruits entering Uncle Sam's service, soon drove the crowds of loafers and lazy follows from the field. They found that political influence availed them nothing with Col. Rice, ; nous young men irom city ana country 1 who desired to avail themselves of the advantages they might derive during their hours off duty; applications even from clergymen, physicians and law yers, from Europe as well as America, their object apparently being educa tional advantages rather than for the modest salary paid the guards. There was no stipulation as to age. however, provided the applicant had reached twenty-one. and an old soldier in good physical condition was never rejected. As a result CoL Rice has under his com- wTiii iuui nnn rt rvr rnn iiTomir in i uMv ww mn w- - .v.j;w intelligence, in appearance and in gen- . tlemanly bearing. Erect, vigorous and handsomely uniformed, carefully drilled, imposing, polite, they are as un like thc ordinary policeman on guard as can be imagined. At present there are but six companies, comprising 600 men. Thi number will be increased to 2.500, perhaps more if nece;-snry, by the time thc exDOAition owms. This i not to bv d faK construed to mean that CoL Rice has 1.900 or more places to fill, for most of them are already assigned to young men now hard at work over their books in colleges all over the land. Thus in directly the exposition is an aid to edu cation. Appointment to a place in CoL Eice's command is of easier access than posi tions that politics controL Any young man can apply in person or by letter to Col. Edmund Bice, Service building, Jackson park, and secure immediate hearing. Letters of introduction from members of state world's fair commis sioners or other public and well-known persons are naturally of assistance to the applicant, though not indispensable. The applicant in person will be ques tioned by Col Eice as to his habits, morals and mental equipment, and if the interview be satisfactory and CoL Eice has been a soldier all his life, handling troops in the civil war and many Indian campaigns, and reads faces as most raon read a printed page the applicant is referred to Dr. Yeager, or some of his assistanLs in tha Colum bian medical bureau, for physical ex amination. Having stood this test tho applicant is dismissed to hold himself in readiness for summons for service. When that summons comeb the apnli- GUAIID8. cant presents himself before Quarter master Hoppen, who is a lieutenant in Uncle Sam's Second cavalry, but ranks as captain in the Columbian guard. The applicant is measured for u uniform, consisting of cap, dark blue blouse, similar to the fatigue uniform worn by army officers, and trousers of tho regu lar army blue with a black and red stripo on the side. A police whistle and bronze croBsbow on which tho guard number is engraved, and a short two edged sword worn in an ornamental ficabbard at the hip, 'complete the equip ment. If he chooses, tho guard can also be provided with a Btorm coat, overcoat and rubber boots, the total out fit being furnished to him by the Expo sition company at a cost of about 345. Each month 55 is deducted from the guard's pay, until he has been in the service six months, when the money is refunded and the uniform becomes tho property of the wearer. If the guard should leave the service before the ex piration of six months Quartermaster Hoppen appraises tho value of the uni form, which is returned by the guard, and pays tho latter the difference held out of his pay. Prom the quartermastor the new guard, after having taken the oath of office and sworn in with full police powers by a city official, is sent to the drill room, where he becomes a mem ber of the awkward squad. Energetic drill masters soon give him grace and j freedom of motion, tho graoeful mili tary salute, and standing at "attention whon addressed by superior officer or i civilian soon become easy and natural methods. He is assigned to service in one of the companies and may live outside the grounds on barracks pro vided in a roomy structure especially erected at Sixty-second street and Stony Island avenue. Eight hours -ach day he is on duty, the first week from 9 a. m. to 1p.m. and from 9 p. in. until la. m.; the second week from 1 a. m. until 9 a.m. The reliefs are so ! arranged that each guard gets a half hol iday each week. Careful attention to personal appearance, with neatly blackened shoes, clean linen, just showing abovo tho closely-buttoned blouse, and the wearing of white cot ton gloves, are required of each guard while on duty. He must be at all times respectful and attentive to the j questioning of visitors, and must be a living encyclopedia of everything con cerning the grounds, buildings, loca tions of exhibits, etc. He must be alert as a police officer to protect visitors. prompt to respond to ambulance serv ice as a member of the hospital corps, ! and untiring in vigilance as a fireman. ant boil for five or six hours.

De H. Sweexey. VERMONT'S BUILDING. It "Will Be of tho l'ompelan Style or Architecture. The Vermont building at the world's i fair will be, when completed, one of tne most unique on the grounds. The style is Pompeian. On the right and left of the entrance are two shafts with alle gorical figures, representing agricul ture and quarrying and stonecutting tho two principal industries of the state. Tho entrance is through a por tico into a courtyard, in the center of which is a handsome marble fountain. Marble will also be used all through the interior. On the right and left are TEBKOXT'a WOBLXS FAIH BUIMJIXG. covered porches, off which lead tho re ception room, committee room, post office, etc At the end of the court is a porch supported by five caryatids, on which is a semi-circular Greek -window with a bas-relief around it, representing freedom and unity. In the rear is the circular reception hall with wooden beamed dome. To the efforts of Dr. H. H. Mclntyre, of Vermont, and Col. Aldace F. Walker, of Chicago, is mainly due the success of this building. Jarvis Hunt, of Boston (nephew of William Morris Hunt, the artist, and Richard M. Hunt, architect of the administration building), is tho architect. This build ing will bo used for social purposes only. COLUMBUS' FLAGSHIP. Model of the Santa ."Maria Koir at Jack son Parle. The model of the Santa Maria, the flagship of the Columbus fleet, has ar rived from San Domingo and will soon ride the waves of the Jackson park la goon. That is, it will attempt to ride AS THE SANTA MAMA JfpW APPEARS. them, but as to its probable success ' there is a diversity of opinion. Somo ' of those brilliant land-lubbers who are made glorious by tho uniform of tho Columbian guard aver that the "Maria" is quite a ship. But anyono who has ever been out of sight of land would hesitate to venture aboard the new arrival. How the Spaniards ever succeeded in reaching America in such a craft is puzzling the salts who hang about Jackson park. In general appearance the model resembles two huge spare- ribs riveted together and given a deck, prow and helm. The boat, however, is guaranteed to be historically correct, and it will no doubt attract tho atten tion of millions of thoso who will visit the fair. The spot where it will bo lo cated has not yet been decided upon. HOUSEHOLD BREVITIES. White Pudding Sauce.

Everything to Bs Conducted on a Seal of Magnitude and Magnificence Hith erto Unparalleled Startling Exhib its from the States sod Europe. Special World's Fair Letter. It is a curious study to observe how many features of the world's fair may properly be described as "the big gest in the world." To begin with, the grounds are larger than the size of any previous world's fair. The main hall Manufactures and Liberal Arts building is the climax of all construction work in modern times; the money spent and to be expended on the grounds and buildings is double any appropriation ever made for a similar purpose: and I the total valne of promised n-hi'hit.K i reaches the enormous sum of SS50,000,- 000. eclipsinc- the axrcreirate value of all the exhibits of anv two modern exhi- bitions. These figures, stupendous as they seem, find a counterpart in the ma-mi- tuoe of exhibits. Whether one takes the model dairy, the agricultural ex- hibit, the power plant in Machinery hall, the electrical illumination, the marvels of the Mines building, the flow ers and fruits of Horticultural hall, the quaint collection in the fisheries, the array of statuary and paintings in the art galleries, the historical exhibit I of transportation methods, the display of educational institutions, or the prod ucts of the world's factories in the Man ufactures building no matter what the section, it may be described without any exaggeration as the biggest the world ever saw. Coming to individual exhibits, there are single features conspicuous enough to overwhelm the imagination. For in stance, the world's fair has a power plant of 15,000 horse-power where tne Paris exposition had but 3,000. Of the 15,000 horse-power at Jackson park, 8,000 is applied by electricity, while the Centennial had no electrical exhibits save a few arc lights. One engine of this big plant has 2,000 horse-power capacity, eclipsing the Corliss engine at the Centennial, and outdoing anything ever attempted in mechanical apparatus in this countrj'. In the agricultural section is to be a mammoth among commonplace dis plays. It is a cheese a plain, Canadian cheese, but its weight is 26,000 pounds, its height six feet and its diameter nine feet. It furnishes so much weight mm KBTifyVlSS.WfrL'fL'J'H'? M &' it&.wa, "iT!S?reH,Hp3 ROTES ybTSTTCirasa wrrrsBiTirirawiff r THE 'COLUMBUS QUADBIOA.

In the live stock department will be seen the largest steer in the world, a blooded animal owned by George W. Cliilds, the famous philanthropist and fancier of fine flowers and stock. Kentucky has prepared a surprise for sight-seers who know little of her min eral wealth, and particularly her coal mining industry. It will bo a solid block of bituminous coal 60 feet high, mined in one piece and occupying a point of vantage in the Mines building. Oneof tho rarest and mostinteresting of tho big displays will be from the Kimberly diamond mines in South Africa. Heretofore the diamond field have confined their exhibition efforts to illustration of lapidary processes. A1 ' the Columbian exposition visitors will see Kaffir natives from the Cape of Good Hope, washing diamonds from tho blue earth in which they are found; they will see the rough stones sorted put through the grinding and polishing process by Dutch lapidaries; and they will see on exhibition the greatest col lection of gems, polished and in the rough, that has ever been gathered outside a royal palace. In tho same building, not far from tho diamond washers, will bo the gold and silver quartz displays of California, Montana, Colorado, Arizona, Xcw Mexico and other mining communities. Most people associate the thought of quartz with a mental picture of unin teresting stone heaps, bearing little trace of value and of interest only to geologists. The miners of the country are determined to show such Eight-scers that gold and silver-bearing quartz are among the most beautiful and pictur esque features of an exhibition when they are developed properly. In this particular display tho most valuable veins of the far west will furnish pyramids, arches and spires of ore rich enough to recall the fables of Golconda. No accurate estimates can. of course, be placed upon unsmelted gold orsilvcr,but conservative experts who know what is to be exhibited say the gold and sil ver camps will send a display worth more than a million dollars. Horticultural hall is at the head of the procession of giant displays. It al ready has 10,000 primroses blooming in one collection, which government flor ists declare is beyond question the larg est and most beautiful display of the ltnd ever grown. It has the largest tree-fern ever sent out of Australia a monster 30 feet high, measuring nearly two fettt at the base. K has a pardon of 100,000 hardy roses planted on the wooded island last fall; the greatest collection of p&nsies in existence- and & projected dis play of chrysanthemums that wiD equal ail the great chrysanthemum shows of this country and ZaropQ rollod into the bg aggregation. Then there is the section of & eequoia or big roowood tree in the govcracusst building- which required 11 cars for transportation from Csdifonm. The section - nt-ed in tlw eeatr of th- bmldiag as a two-storkd rfceptjon ball j ?1 & iargeenoggh.to izzrsS&XvvxSorir able quarters lor 10v guests at a time. The state of Washington comes in tho category of these exhibits with the tim bers for its state building at the park. The foundation-timbers are of pine; each measures 120 feet long in single sections and is 39 inches through, dressed. In front of tho buildings is a flagstaff, 120 feet high, in one piece. Kansas shows the variety of the coun try's forest monstrosities in a section of a walnut log 9 feet in diameter and so heavy that, like the big cheese, it has to have a special foundation in. the Forestry building. Wisconsin's curiosity is a monolith of granite, outclassing Cleopatra's needle and every other known monolith. It is 115 feet high, is something like 20 feet square at the base, and will occupy a place of honor immediately in front of tho Wisconsin state building. s Krupp, the great cannon maker of Germany? is coming with the biggest ' can eer made. Its size may be ! 5udSed r the statement, given as a fact' that ifc can throvr a 200-pound j projectile 40 miles.

If the maker's words may be taken as truth, the largest of these lights will be the most powerful in existence. Ac cording to his statement, it will furnish ample illumination for reading at a dis tance of thirty miles from Chicago; and, according to the same authority, a lawn party In Milwaukee would be better lighted from the electric tower in Chi cago than if lamps of tbe ordinary coal oil pattern were distributed about tho lawn. The search lights will be ued on oc casion as signals to mariners and it scheme has been snggested whereby messages could be sent across the lake to St. Joseph, Mich., with these same lights operated on the Morse system of dots and dashes. It wonld be easy to describo these spectacular features of the world's fair in endless length. Thoso enumerated are but isolated instances in an aggre gation of indescribable magnitude They are to the main exhibits as ono peak might be to a mountain range. A stranger traveling through the grounds might spend a week within tho gates and not discover half of them, unless ho ei3?S?

"I suppose," said a man who wns looking in the dictionary, "that many of us arrive at mature years with a wrong impression of certain words. There is. for instance, a word which I wish I could recall, but I can't, which was in somo way originally impressed upon my mind, with an added lettertlt is a word that is comparatively In com mon u"5c I grew up carrying that ad ditional letter in tho word and never thinking but that I had it right. I have no doubt that I hod seen this word in print time and again in its correct form, but the abbence there of the letter which I had in the word in my mind hnd never struck me. One day, however, it did strike me very plainly, and the word then looked so different from the ono to which I was mentally accustomed, that at first I thought that it was mis spelled, ns I saw it In print, but I verv quickly discovered that it was impelled there correctly. I remember now that for bome little time thereafter it halted me whenever I encountered It, but it soon censed to appear strange, and tho proof that it wrh right, ns I now saw it, was so overwhelming that it m lo me smile. I had no difficulty in erasing from my mind thc old spelling and sub stituting the correct form. "An acquaintance tells me that for years the impression upon his mind of thc word repugnant was repungant. He didn't discover that the word wan repugnant until he had ocenhion to writo it, and then at first he could scarcely btlieve that he had had it wrong for so long a time. The simple explanation of his mLstako was that he had transposed the letter In hurried reading. 'Another acquaintance tells me that for some time in his youth he carried tho word dislocate in his mind ns dls colate. Ho says that always it almost seemed to him as though there was something the matter with discolate, and yet he thought It muKtbeall right. It seems funny that he didn't look in the dictionary. That is what he dla at last,and when he discovered hU mis take he net the word in his in 1ml, and he tells me that it hann't been out of joint since." K. Y. Sun.
