Th Califotfflin Midwinter Intarnv
Dossil Exposition it mow upon the last
Bjouth of 8a f-tistroea, flis - grand
cloning demonstration of the sxporitlon
Will take ploe Wednesday, July ,
when the city and county of San Fran
oisco will unite with thmxposition man
agement in the celebration of the na
tional holiday, snefc as has never before
bean! aeon on the iSaeifio Coast. There
will be at least 20,000 people In the pro
cession that will march through the
Btreets of San Francisco, and that will
wend its way out through the beautiful
Golden Gate Park into the grounds of
the wonderful eipasltion which has
been the scenes of so many grand dem
'onstrations during the past six months.
Then will be a grand program of out
- door exercises at the Recreation grounds.
' As has been stated in this correspond
ence, there was some doubt about the
dateo? ihe official closing of the exposi
tion. The six months from the date of
the actual opening will sot expire until
July 97, but since the six months legal
duration of the exposition expires on the
first of July, it has been thought best to
let the Fourth ofjuly celebration be the
closing official demonstration, though
the gates will be kept np, and a 88-eent
admission will probably be charged dnr-J
lng the month of July, even though the
remoYsiof the exhibits and the tearing
down of some of the buildings will then
lie m progress. Borne of the conoesalon
aires hare manifested their determina
tion to stay on the grounds as long as
there are likely to be any people at all,
and everybody will concede that there
. will be something of an exposition as
long as toe sideshows remain.
j What is to become of the magnificent
boildinge which haTs proven so much
more attractive to the publio than the
exposition management dared to hope is
atm an open question. Director General
de xpung, acting for the executive com
mittee, has offered to the Golden Gats
Park commissioners the two buildings
known as the Fine Arts building and
the Administration building. The first
is offered to be used as apermanentmu
aenm for San Franoisco. It is a durable
fireproof structure and will withstand
the tempered elements of San Francisco
for many, many years. As a work of
architectural art, it is conceded to be
more than satisfactory, and will cer
tainly make a- beautiful permanent
monument of the exposition itself. It
is proposed that the park commissioners
shall use the Administration building as
a headquarters for the commissioners,
and as a place of public convenience for
visitors to the park.
An offer has also been made in this
connection for the preservation of the
Liberal Arts building as a place for the
' holding of big conventions, as a place
for the band to play to on inclement oc
casions, and as an immense ballroom or
assembly hall for gatherings whioh are
frequent in cities as large aa Ban Fran
cisco, and yet for which there has been
no place available. The offer of the Dk
rector General of theFine Arts building
and of the Administration building pro
vides that they shall be given to the
pare commissioners free of expense, but
to order that the Liberal Arte building
ehall be secured to the city and county,
under the direction of the park eommis
aioners, it will be necessary to raise a
fund, inasmuch as the accrued profits
will not warrant the executive commit
tee in making so munifioent a gift.
The other buildings will undoubtedly
be torn down tome time daring July,
or a start will at least be made on the
, demolition. The grand court with its
staircases, its pavements, and its land
scape gardening will accrue to the park,
and all the roadways whioh have bam
tutlt will necessarily be nndwtnrbed.J
ado Horticultural Building and the Me
chanical Arts building were not intended
for permanent structures, and will have
to be removed. So also with the hun
dreds of other smaller buildings in which
the concessionaires have made or lost
money, as the case may be. The elec
tric tower will probably prove to be a
bone of contention. Several people are
endeavoring to secure it as a perinauent
concession in the park, and if the com
missioners can see their way clear to en
terintoan arrangement the tower will
stand, though it must necessarily be
shorn of itt electrio lighting and its
mammoth search light.
There still remain between now and
the close of the exposition a number of
very interesting days of celebration.
The present week has been particularly
prolific in this regard, f It began with!
Italian day on Sunday, with tirnitm
county day on Monday, colored Ameri
can day on 'Tuesday, state of Maine day

LOU PARKS' SCALP,
Taken by an Indian, Than Grafted Bank la
Vlace as OooU M Now.
A tall' old man, with hair rapidly
changing from gray to white, sauntered
Into the Arlington. A peculiar feature
about his head attracted the attention
of an observer. Shining through his
nun loess and forming a semicircle on
the back of the scalp was a bright red
irregular line, The card that he twirled
nervously in his fingers bore the name
of Louis Parks, and an old gentleman
in the lobby greeted him affectionately
as Loo. When he went out his friend
talked about him to a circle of interest-
ed loungers. "That was old Lou Parks.
he remarked, with an indention of ad
miration. ' 'He was one of us when we

"About half or three-quarters of

Be was unoonscioos, and his head was
covered with blood pouring from a hole
about as big as a tin cup It was easy
to see he had been scalped. No Indians
had been seen in the neighborhood, and
the boys couldn't understand where they

were Btill with him. They looked around
for signs, and deeper in the chaparral,
about SO yards away, found the dead
body of a Blaokfoot Indian. He was
shot in the spine, and in his clinched
band was a bunch of hair. It was Lou's
scalp.
"The boys loosened the Indian's
grasp and released the thing, and one of
tnem suggested the bright idea of stick
ing It book on Lon'ahead.' They washed
it in water from one fellow's leather
bottle and washed their partner's head.
Then they fitted the scalp back in place

being the distillation, in a strong iron
vessel, under a pressure of 25 atmos
pheres, of the animal fats and oils at a
temperature of 800 degrees C. Under fa
vorable conditions 70 per cent of the fat
ty oils are transformed into petroleum,
which is SO per oent of the theoretical
yield. The product thus obtained has
been found to be in every particular iden

gsted that, with modifications of condi
tions in the process, oils of different
grades may be produced.
It Is premature to predict theohanges
in tue petroleum industry or to say
what bearing this discovery may have.
At present it certainly appears to be of
little practical importance, yet it is not
the less on interesting fact, and one per
haps not to be lost sight of. The dis
covery will doubtlessly be further de
veloped, and It is not improbable that it
may become of commercial importance.
If, as Is claimed, 70 per cent of the
animal oil is convertible Into a good pe
troleum, it would appear that Degras
oil, whioh sells at S eents per gallon,
could profitably be converted into a su
perior grade of petroleum, selling, say,
at 19 oents. It would be no more re
markable than many other transmuta
tions if at some future time this dis
covery should find an important place

Why do people blush? Certain emo
tions oause a kind of syncope. The heart
stops for an instant, and regaining
strength immediately it acta in a stron
ger manner and sends the blood , racing
into the arteries. So much for the phys
iological portion of the question, but we
Wish to know what causes these emo
tions. Darwin explained this by saying that
when we perceive or fancy that we are
being critioised or closely observed our
whole attention is forcibly directed to
ourselves and is especially oonoentrated
upon our countenance. When a particu
lar part of the body becomes the objeot
of such concentrated attention, its work
ing is greatly modified. We see a good
example of this in the immediate effect
produoed upon the saliva by thinking of
a lemon. Our face reddens on the some
principle. The veins relax and are filled
with arterial blood. 5
This explanation is not quite satisfac
tory, and other theories have been nut
forward with more of lees success. The
latest is that of Mr. Melinard, which is
at least original. We blush through
modesty, timidity, bashfulnees and oon
fusion. Praise makes us blush that is
modesty. Now, what takes plaoe within
us? Something very simple. This praise
pleases us, but we do not wish that fact
to be peroeived. Take a case of timid
ity. A schoolboy is asked a question
whioh he cannot answer. He wishes to
hide his ignorance, which may expose
him to punishment or the gibes of his
fellow scholars. He turns red.
It is the same with confusions. We
have done something whioh we wish to
hide, and we are afraid that It will be
come known. In short, the moral state
is identical in all cases. We redden be
cause we feel that people are finding out
something whioh we wish to hide.
M. Melinard endeavors to demonstrate
the correctness of his theory by showing
that when the fear of being "unmasked"
is removed there is noblnshing.. In the
case of lovers, we find at first that they
blush when they meet because they are
desirous to hide their sentiment After
ward there is no Bign of a blush because
each knows that the other is aware of
his or her sentiments and is no longer
arraid or tneir being known.
"A child does not blush. That is be
cause he has no idea of hiding anything.
As soon as he becomes old enough to
understand that it may be to his inter
est not to tell all that he has done or all
that passes in his mind he begins to
redden. It is the same with idiots. The
fear of being unmasked does not exist,
and there is no blushing.
Fear, then, is the cause of this change
of countenance, according to M. Meli
nard. We are more likely to turn red in
front of a number of people than when
we are face to face with one or two
only. Old people blush very seldom be
cause they ore not troubled with the fear
that other people will find them out
This is a novel theory, with some good
points, but there are several objections
to it It is a fact that we blush invol
untarily; we blush when we have noth
ing at all tohide in the presence of peo
ple oonceniing whom we are quite in
different Girls and boys will sometimes turn
red when one inquires about the health
of their father, mother or little brother.
That old people do not blush much is
owing not to the foot that they have
nothing to hide, but because they know
better how to dissimulate.
According to M Melinard's theory.
all old people must be paragons of vir
tue and all young ones just the oppo
site, wmcn we beg leave to doubt
Nevertheless there is some truth In
this new theory, uud a study of this in
connection with the Darwinian theory
mentioned above will lead tosome posi
tive explanation of the psychology of
blushing. Atlanta Constitution,
Slave Catching In Ton quia.
While in most parts of the world, ex
