RESEMBLE THEIR ORIGINALS I&eal Article Cannot lie lie moved an Journey Would Kill so IiigenlouH Sub stitutes Are Made. J'reiik specimens of fish and all manner of reptiles, difficult to pre serve alive, are exhibited at the world&s fair In papier mache models prepared by a cereful ichthyologies! taxidermist who has copied the subject from life. In the New York Acquarlum the or iginal may be seen and these would have been removed to St. Louis had ft been practical. But as the delicate captives would perish from the Jour ney their paper substitutes will serve to satisfy the curious. One of these peculiar fish is the "silver hatchet," a specimen very little larger than the perch. The body Is compressed and elevated so that while It is less than a third of an Inch in thickness from side to side It la nearly five inches deep from top to bottom. It Is covered with a silver pigment and its sides are fluted. The eyes of the "silver hatchet" are enormous, but those of the cryptop saras are so small as to be hardly noticeable. This remarkable creature has Its own Illumination plant. Ris ing from the top of the head, between the eyes, Is a curious rod-llkke organ over a foot In length and dropping over the back. At the end of this rod Is an egg-shaped bulb. Within about five Inches of the tail Is another rod at the tip ot which is a second bulb. Both of these bulbs are phosphores cent and by means of them the flsth is enabled to generate Its own light. Marrlotta is another monster of the deep executed In papier mache. It is clothed in a complete armor, consist ing of homey plate. Instead of scales, Interlaced In such a fashion as to give the flh a most grotesque appearance. Many other specimens will be Included. FILIPINO SCOUTS ARRIVE. Reach St. Louia Bringing Well Drilled Native Band. A battalion of native Filipino scouts accompanied by Its own band has ar rived In St. Louis and will be an at tractive and novel feature of the Phil ippine exhibit of 40 acres on the reser vation at the world's fair. The bat talion consists of four companies of 104 men each, composed respectfully of Macabebes, VIsayana, Tagalos and Ilo canos. It la under the command of Major F. de L. Carrington, First U . S. In fantry, and all the commissioned offic ers are from the regular army. The battalion Is In fact a part ot the Unit ed States regular army. These troops occupy a model camp on the Philip pine reservation and will give daily drills during the fair. Besides being an exhibit the Filipino soldiers will do police duty and preserve law and order among the one thousand and more Filipino natives who inhabit the vil lages and towns that have been built on the world fair's grounds. The band Is composed of forty-three pieces and is directed by Ernest G. Fisher as chief musician and Manual Gelsana as drum major. Dally con certs will be given In" an artistic band stand constructed of bamboo and nlpa, and all kinds of music from the clas sical to "rag-time" will be discoursed. The Filipino Is a born musician and but a short time is required for him to learn to play any instrument. It was this branch of Uncle Sam's standing army that taught the Ameri can soldier In the Philippines the ef fectiveness of the "water cure." The first scouts attached to the army were recruited from the Macabebe tribe at the beginning of the Insurrection. The Macabebes were then at war with the Tabalos and as the former tribe was loyal to the United States, a body of them were enlisted In the capacity of scouts. These scouts were of great help In obtaining information of the enemy and in some cases the "water cure" was used. Later on several other" companies were rnllstel from the different tribes with this rwstilt of the Provisional Battalion Philippine Scouts being formed an malt u tut of the regular army, The scouts wear the rsgulutlnn army uniform and while at the fair will receive the regular army pay and ra tions. When in the Philippines their pay Is slightly small ar than that of the American soldier, It Is suld that the battalion Is one of t!w best ilifljed and !!scipllned body ot Infantry .in th service, .

The trip wilt be glvm the squad as sort of a ren rd for the long ordeal they have undergone for the cauw of science. The "dieters" now receive a small quantity of meat. This ration will be Increased gradually. WOMEN WHO DO THINGS. Thoss Who Will Be Prominent Figures at Great Exposition, The wide flung door of world's fair will no doubt prove an open sesame to tame for a number of American wo men Not every day noes such an op portunity occur and ths wise ones have taken advantage of It and will demonstrate their capabilities. Wo men sculptors have been eminently succesaf ull, none perhaps more so than Miss Melva Beatrice Wilson, of New York, to whom was awarded a most Important commission the decoration of the Palace of Machinery. Miss Wilson studied under Macmon nlcs In Paris and when she exhibited In that city was overwhelmed with cn conlums from art critics. Her works are on view In both public and private art galleries In America and she Is among the most sought of feminine sculptors. With the smart set Miss Wilson is a great favorite as she de picts equestrienne and athletic sports, modern military life, cow boy types, wild animals and almost everything pertaining to out of door sports.

Last spring she made a tour with the Bos ton festival orchestra anil last fall she was heard at the Maine festival. With her lithe and sinuous form and her graceful poses. Miss Lowe is an at tractive figire as she sweeps the harp strings with rhythmical cadence. Ae a lecturer Madame Lydia von Flnkeisteln Munt(ord Is renowned. Her kctures are on sacred subjects and she Is eminently adapted to dis course about life In the far east as she has lived there many years. Madame Is engaged by the Jerusalem company, and will form one of the strong world's fair attractions, as she will deliver ad drenses In the streets, attired in ori ental costume. Her topics will be re plete with Interest The costumes that prevailed In the time of Christ, the buildings, the people In the streets, te various religious places ot worship, the places sacred to the life of Jesus Christ will all furnish Intensely Inter tsting subjjects.
