With the single exception of the !
ministration building, 'Which needs a
fall week's work before it will be com
pleted, the five main rbuildings of the
California Midwinter International Ei
position an practically finished. Still,
it has been fouxd impossible to open the
Exposition in all ire departments on Jan.
1. When the projectors of thisindns
trial enterprise took advantage of the
glorious midwinter weather an Califor
nia they did not expect that the wintry
winds on the shore of Lake Michigan,
arid the mountains f snow between that
point and this, would array themselves
in opposition to their plans. This, how
ever, lias proven to be the case, and
ihundreds of carloads of exhibits which
were to come from the Columbian Ex
position to stand on dress parade in
Golden Gate park have been seriously
delayed by the weather. There has been
great difficulty experienced in getting
care to load goods on at Chicago as fast
as they were ready, and when they had
once been started westward, a nones of
obstacles had to be overcome until, even
though the buildings in San Franc'sco
re practically ready for their reception",
the bulk of the exhibits which are to be
made by foreign nations have not yet
arrived.
It has been found neeesswr, therefore,
to postpone the formal vutonies of
opening the Exposition for a few days,
or until everything is in place. On the
first day of January, however, tax infor
mal opening occurs. The flags of all
nations will fly from the flag poles on
the Exposition buildings and in the
grounds, there will be music and gen
eral gala day effects, but the "day of
days, " the day when San Francisco shall
be a perfect sea of bunting, when her
people shall turn oat en masse, when an
extra legal holiday shall be declared and
hen all California shall join in the
great ceremony of the opening of this
great midwinter lestivai uu uy m
enme a little later on.
Quite a number of the concessional
irarnres of the Exposition are all in
readiness and will be in full blast on
Jan. 1. The great Firth wheel begins
its revolutions with the New Year; the
lions and tigers in the wild animal arena
will roar to New Year audiences; the
Santa Barbara sea lions will roll and
roar in the great tanks that have been
nrovided for them; the forty-niner
mining camp will receive calls in true
frontier fashion; beer and pleasure will
flow at the Heidelberg castle; the Ha
waiian cyclorama will be open to the
public; the curious ones can do down
into the Colorado gold mine; ana even
. the great electric tower will be almost
completed. But this' word "almost"
will be changed into "quite "in its appli
cation to everything projected in con
nection with the Exposition before the
grand opening day comes on, and when
that day comes there will be spread out
before the visiting multitude the most
complete and most picturesque exposi
tion that the western sun has ever
(hone upon.
. Speaking of the great Firth wheel sug
gests mention of a very interesting in
teresting incident which took place in
connection with its construction the
other day. During a temporary lull in
the work of putting up the spiderlike
spokes of this wheel, a man was observed
to clamber up in the mass of timbers
surrounding the base of the superstruct
ure. He was at first supposed to be a
workman, and no special attention was
paid him. Presently, however, he clam
bered out on one ot tne lower spoxes.
The superintendent of construction,
catching sight of him, asked what he
. wanted up there. The adventurer
made no response, but continued his as
cent, working his way inside the
periphery with- catlike agility. The
superintendent ordered him down. The
only answer be got was an invita
tion to come and fetch him. He kept
on climbing, and where the periphery
has not been placed he had to slide down
the big spokes until he reached the chan
nel irons. Crossing on these to the next
spoke, he worked out to the perirhiry,
nd proceeded as before.
.By this time quite a crowd had
gathered, watching the progress of this
daring lellow, lzu reel irom me gronuu.
He was repeatedly warned to look out
for himself , but showed himself abund
antly able to do so. Finally he reached
' the the highest point, and, standing at
1 full length, gave an exulting yoll, which
was answered by a irroup of friends
near the volcano building. Of course
" he came down the other way, and thus
made the first revolution of the great
Firth wheel On reaching the ground
1 "if disclosed his identity, and was recog
zed as a sailor and ri$ -er, Be said be
id made the trip to set& a bet that he
nld make the first tlip around this

One of the sensations of (the 35xposi
tioawill be the famous diver, Kohani
Malta, whose record as a long-distanc e
swimmer, deep diver and shark hunt ui
surpasses that of all aquatic wonders of
the great Pacific It is Kohana Malta
who has kept alive the old shark-hunting
custom of the early kings of Hawaii.
In former days it was the custom of
royal sportsmen to go to sea in their war
canoes or catamaran, taking along a
large bowl of chopped enemies. This
bowl was placed over the water, and
fragments ot hashed Kanaka were thrust
through a hole in the bottom of .the
howl, .thus attracting schools of man
eating sharks. When the Bharks be
came thick around ilie boats a native
king would dive in among them, knife
in hand, and, coming up under the
school, would stab one as he arose. This
is one of the tilings that Kohana AlaKa
does in these days. There will be no
sharks in the little lake within the
Hawaiian enclosure at the Midwinter
Exposition, but those will he ample
room for diving and for Kohana and
other great swimmersto exercise. Four
women and three men. all exerts, form
the little company of swimmers, headed
by Kohana Muka. They will not only
illustrate the wonderful aquatic feats
for which the islanders are famous, but
they announce themselves as ready to
meet all comers in any form of aquatic
spuria.

BflaUke. About Aleohol.
There is a common belief that alcohol
gives new strength and energy after
fatigue sets in. The sensation of fatigue
is one of the safety valves of our ma
chine. To stifle the feeling of fatigue, in
order to do more work, is like closing
the safety valve so th.it the boiler may
be overheated and explosion result It
is commonly thought that alcoholic
drinks aid digestion, but in reality the
contrary would appear to be the case,
for it has been proved that a meal with-'
out alcohol ib more quickly followed by
hunger than a meal with alcohol. In
connection with the salutation of armies
thousands of experiments upon large
bodies of men have beeu made and have
led to the result that, in peace or war.
in every climate in heat, cold or rain
soldiers are better able to endure the
fatigue of the most oxliansting inarches
when they are uot allowed any alcohol
at all. That mental exertions of all
kinds are better uudergone without al
cohol is generally admitted by most peo
ple who have made the trial. Westmin

The Servant Problem Nut Nnw.
Students of household management
will learn with satisfaction that in 156(1
many of the evils now to be complained
of were distinctly recognized. Borne of
the more curious fines which were im
posed by a country gentleman upon of
fending servants were a penny for leav
ing a door open, missing prayers, leav
ing beds unmade after 8 (presumably a.
m,), pjc! cooks could only have follow
ers at the rate of a penny fine for each
one. A curious custom seems to have
then existed that entree to the house wi
denied during the family meals, and as
the fine for allowing a breach of this
custom was heavy it may be presumed
that the sin was esteemed great. Lady'c

Liquid Oxygen.
Liquid oxygen when first formed it
milky in appearance, owing to the pres
ence of some impurity which may be re
moved by passing it through ordinary
filter paper. When pure, it is of a pale
blue color, which, however, is not due,
as some have thought, to the presence oi
Uquid ozone, which is of a dark blue col
or. Liquid oxygen is a nonconductor oi
electricity, but is strongly magnetic. It
may be lifted from a enp by presenting
the poles of a strong electro-magnet. It
seems to have very slight chemical ac
tivity, since it will extinguish a lighted
match and has no action on a piece ol
phosphorus dropped into it. It is well
known that the A and B lines of the
solar spectrum are due to oxygen, and
from recent experiments on me iop oi
Mount Blanc it is thought they are
largely if not wholly due to the oxygen
in the earth's atmosphere. Professor
Dewar showed that these lines come onl
very strong when liquid oxygen is inter
posed in the path of the rays from an
electrb lamp. Science.
A French Epitaph.
In a French churchyard is a monu
ment having an epitaph of which the
following is a translation: "Here lies
Jean Pinto, the Spanish vocalist. When
be reached heaven, ho united bis voices
with the voices of the archangels. At
soon as be heard him, the Deity cried,
'Keen uniet, all you fellows, and let ul
hear alone the illustrious singer, Jean
Pintor"

The sum of the whole matter is that
the railroad man as a rule takes all the
newspapers, reads about everything
there is in each of them, acquires a fac
ulty for doing it very rapidly, and then
peruses the leadingeditorial in the paper
of opposite political faith to tone him
up and the one in the journal of his own
faith to tons bun down. No praotUwl
joVtrnallst knows more of what is in a
usWnper than a practical railroad
