Estimated Cost, Exclusive of tho Value of tho Exhibits, Is from
Forty to Fifty Million Dollars Miles of Wonderful
Displays in More Than Twenty Buildings.
It Is now a llttlo moro than two

the public wilt be Invited to see the
greatest exposition that bus ever been

finished for several months. Within
the noxt two months nil of them arc
to bo brightened with now coats of
paint so that, on the opening day, tho
magnificent array of palaces will ap
pear as fresh as a newly blossomed
rose.
No one, no matter how vivid his Im
agination, can picture to himself tho
sceno that will bo presented when the
Exposition Is complete. Tho more one

tho air becomes balmy with tho
breezes of spring, tho Exposition will
tako on far greater activity than It
has scon during tho boisterous days
of winter In splto of the severo

MARKETING FOR THE 8EA COW.
It Is Necessary Now to Cut Through
Ice to Get at the Eel Grass.
Tho man who does tho marketing
for tho Aqunrlutn'a sen cow has had lo
do somo lively hustling this winter to
keep that big animal supplied with
food.
Tho sea cow Is eight foot long,
volglis S00 pounds, nnd has a hoallhy
appetite. In tho first eighteen weeks
after Its nrrlval hero from Florida, on
Sept 3 last. It ato ninety bushels of
eel grass, six hushols of fennel loafed
pond wood and two bushels of ulvn,
or sea lettuce, making ninety-eight
bushols of aquatic plants in all In
eighteen weoks, or an average of
about five and una half bushels a
weolt, which Is about Its present rato
of consumption.
Tho eel grass and other things for
the sea cow's table aro gathered in
Ornvesend Hay or tho waters there
with contacted, Hamon say that tho
present has been tho hardest winter
hereabouts on tho wator In twenty-live
years. On many days It has been nec
essary to cut through the Ico to get
Swiss Industrial Schools.
There aro Industrial schools for
clock and watch making In Geneva,

taining four miles of railway tracks
for tho exhibit of locomotives nnd

thero were practically no outdoor ex

acres aro given up to outdoor displays,
supplementing In a most pleasing
manner tho hundreds of thousands of
Indoor exhibits. At tho Chicago Ex

Sometimes when tho Ico had moved

Drain Growth.
Drain development Is found by Prof.
Seggel of Munich to have two periods
of acceleration from 10 to II nnd
from 17 to IS in girls, and from 13 to
13 and 19 to 20 In boys. At tbo period
of most rapid Inrroaso In height from
12 to 14 years tho growth of tho
brain Is less than one-hundredth that
of tho body, but at 17 to 19 It grows
ono-thlrtlcth as fast, and at 20 reaches
ono seventh of tho body growth.
Wholesale Marriage,
No lower than forty two couples
wcro married simultaneously at I'lou
gastel (Lower Urlttany) one morning
rocontly. Work In tho village and lif
all tho surrounding hamlet was en
tirely suspended for tho day, for the
excellent reason that there was scarce
ly a living soul In the neighborhood
not related to one or other of the
brides or bridegrooms, for tho good
people of Plougastel never marry out

A starfish can neither sco nor hear.
Neither bap It tbo sense of smell. In

CHAPTER XIV. (Continued.)
. "I haven't a doubt of It." said Doc
tor Verity. "Well. Ilobort, did they
hnvo nothlrg to say to you?" ho oskod,
turning to Admiral Wake.
"They asked me to treat my men
well, and I said, 'I'll trent them like
myself. I'll glvo tbem plenty of meat
and drink and plenty ot fighting and
prlzo money,' and so to their good
will wo passed all through tho city,
and, as I live, 'twas the pleasantest
'progress' any mortal men could de
sire "
Then Doctor Verity began to talk
of tho American Colonics, nnd tholr
wonderful growth. And ns Cromwell
listened his race grew luminous; ho
seemed to look through his oyoballs,
rather than with them, nnd when Mil
ton ceased thcro was silence, until ho
spoko.
"I see," he said, "a great people, a
vnst empire, from tho loins of nil na
tions it shall spring. And thero shnll
bo no king there. Uitt tho deslro of
nil hearts shall bo toward Is, and It
shall bo a covert for tho oppressed and
bread nnd wlno nnd meat for thoso
ready to perish." Then sighing, ho
scorned to realize tho near and tho
present, nnd bo added, "'Twns but
josterday I wroto to Hint good man,
the llev. John Cotton nf lloston. I
havo told him thnt I nm truly ready to
servo him and the rest of tho breth
ren nnd tho churches with him."
With theso words ho roso from tho
tnble, and Mr. Milton, tho Ladles Mary
and Frances Cromwell nnd Jano 8v off
ham went Into tho great hall, where
there was an exceedingly flno organ
In a short time Mr. Mtlton began tcr
play and to sing, but tho girls walked
up nnd down talking to Jano of their
admirers, and their new gowns, and of
lovo letters that had been sent them
In baskets ot flowors
When tho music ceased, tho even
ing was far spent, and Cromwell said
as ho drew Frances and Jano within
l his arms, "Firing mo tbo Illblo, Mary,
I . .
"Oliver, dear Oliver."
Mr. Milton has been giving us Eng
lish song, now wo will havo tho loftier
music of King David."
"And wo shnll get no grander music,
air," said Doctor Owen, "than Is to be
found In tho Dlblo. Sublimity Is He
brew by birth. Wo must go to tho
Holy Hook for words beyond our
words. Is there n man living who
could have written that glorious
hymn.
"'Iird, Thou hast boon our dwell
ing place In all generations;
'"llofore tho mountains were
brought forth, or over Thou hadst
formed tho earth and the world; oven
from everlasting to everlasting Tbou
art Ood'7"
Cromwell did not answer; ho waa
turning tho leaves of tho dear, homely
looking volume which his daughter
had laid beforo him. Shu hung affec
tionately over his shoulder, and when
ho had found what ho wanted, ho look
ed up at her and sho smiled nnd nod
ded her approbation. Then ho said:
"Truly, I think no mortal pen but
Ht. John's could havo wrltton theso
linos; and I give not St. John tho
honor for the Holy Ono must havo
put tbem Into his heart, and tho
band ot his angel guided his
pen." And ho began to rend, nnd tho
words tell llko a splendid vision, and
a great awo filled tho room as they
dropped from Cromwell's lips.
And when ho ceased thero was a
sllcnco that could bo felt, a sllenco
almost painful, oro Dr. Owen's silvery
volco penetratod It with the words ot
the Dcnedlctlon. Then tbo Protector
and Mrs. Cromwell kissed tho girts
and the clergymen blessed thero, and
tbey wont to their rooms as from tho
very prosenco nf God.
Hut Mrs. Cromwell llnr. ,d a long
tlmo. Sho could not re' ,1 sho had
seen tbo silver and cta and lino
damask put away In safe., and sho
thought It no shamo to look as her
Lord did after tho fragments of tho
abundant dinner,
"I will not have, them waited," sbo
said to tho ateward, "nor given to
those who need them not The Lady
Elizabeth hath a Hat of poor families,
and it la my will that they, and thoy
only, are served,"
Then she went to her daughter
Claypolo's apartments, and talked with
her about her children and her health.
When they parted It waa very late;
tbo palace was dark and still and Mrs.
Cromwell, with careful economies In
her mind and a candle In her hand,
went softly along tbo lonely, gloomy
corridors. Her little grandson bad a
slight fever; she was not satisfied
with her daughter health, and the
care of tho great household sho ruled
was a burden she never wholly laid
down. In this vast, melancholy pile
of chambers, (be tboucht of her kits
pit home In fit Ives with longti. and
affection. Ilojal splendors had given
her nothing sho cared for. and they
had taken from her the constant help
nnd companionship thnt In humbler
circumstances her good, great hus
band had given her
Sho paused a moment beforo tho
door of his room. Sho wondered If ho
was nsleep If so, sbo would on no
account nwnl.en him, fur In theso days
ho slept far (no little. Sho opened the
door softly and saw him sitting mo
tionless by tho fire, his eyes closed,
his mnsslvo form upright nnd perfect
ly at rest.
"Oliver," sho said, "dear Oliver, you
ought to bo In bed nnd nsleep."
Ills great darkling soul flashed Into
his faco a look of tenderest lovo.
"Elizabeth," ho nnswered, "I wish that
I could sleep, I do Indeed. I need It.
God knows I need It, but my heart
wakes, and I do fear It will wako this
night If so, thero Is no sleep for mo.
You see, dearest, ho-v God mingles our
cup. When I whs Mr. Cromwell. I
could sleep from night till morning.
When I was Gen. Cromwell, my labors
gavo mo rest. Now that I am I-ord
Protector of threo Kingdoms, sleep,
alasl Is gono far from me. In my
mind I run to and fro through all tho
land I havo a thousand plans nnd
anxieties, Elizabeth, my dearest; great
place Is not worth looking after. It
Is not"
"What troubles you In particular,
Oliver?"
I "One of tho things that troubled my
Great Master, when ho wept and pray
ed and fainted In Gethsemano. Ho
, knew that those whom he loved nnd
who ought to strengthen and comfort
' him, would soon fnrsnko and floe from
him. I think of tho men who havo
trusted mo to lead them In every bat
Jo; who never found mo wanting; tho
.nen with whom I havo taken counsel,
lth whom I hnvo prajed, tho men
who were to mo ns Jonathan to David,
nnd when I think of them my heart Is
Itlo to burst In twain They aro bo-
ginning to forsake me, and their cold
looks and formal words hurt mo llko
a sword thrust; they do, Elizabeth,
thoy do Indeed."
"If you bad mado yourself Kln, at
you might havo done, as you ought to
havo done, you would havo had less
opposition. Johu Verity said so to me.
Ho said Englishmen were used to a
king, but they did not know what to
mnko of a protector."
"King! King! I am king In very
truth, call mo what they like. And
for thnt matter, why should I not be
king? Doctor Owen tolls mo tho word
king comes from Kontg and means
'the man that can.' I am that man.
Everything In Europo comqa from
somo battlefield, that was their first
title to kingship. How many battles
havo I fought and won? I nover lost
a slnglo field how could I, tho Ixjrd
of Hosts being with me? As a beru of
battle, there Is no man to stand be
fore mo. Why should I not be king
over tho threo countries I havo con
quered? John Verity Is right. Eng
lishmen think a protector Is a ruler
for emorgency. They feci temporary
and uncertain with a protector, A
kingship Is a settled office."
"Tako tho crown, Oliver. Why not?"
"I havo no orders to tako It. My
angol told me when I was a boy, that I
should bocomo tho greatest man In
England, hut he said not that I should
bo king. And I know also from Ono
who nover lied lo mo, that this nation
will yearn after Its old monarchy. I
am hero to do a work, to sow seeds
that will take generations to ripen,
but my reign Is only an Interregnum.
I shall found no dynasty."
Then taking his wlfo's band tender
ly between his own, ho said with In
tense forvor, "Thcro Is not a man liv
ing can say I sought this place not
a man or woman living on English
ground, I can say In tho presence of
God, I would havb been glad to have
lived with then under my woodslde
all tho days or my life, and to have
kept my sheep and plowed my land

up to tho lavet ground and laid them fflS
out In a row. Ho tried several ways $VoH
to got hold of all three pigs, so that he '
could carry them homo, but failed In HHl
each effort. Ho loft them lying on the leaaH
bank and was gono quite a while, and HBl
when he came bark he had a bucket HHJ
In his mouth. Depositing the bucket ' HBl
on the ground, he picked the pigs xp HBl
ono at a time, dropped them Into the iHHJ
