gets refreshing breezes and picturesque
views. improve the opportunity to men

the exhibition.
SOME THINGS OF ESPECIAL INTEREST.
In main hall should be seen some speci
mems of wood work, which show wha
geniuses, and yet what fools, some me-
may be. Among these is small oval ta6l
made Of thousands of different pieces Of
wood, and an ordinary sized checker bcarC
made of 4,054 pieces.
In machinery hail. is q machine in Oper-
alton, that cuts, gums, folds and cOunt
lao envelopes minute. The man whC
made this was a genius but Rot a tool
Another equally wonderful envelope mi
chine may be seen in the government
building making centennial envelopes.
OF course, the visitor wants to see al
the Washington relics he can. Well, il
he United States building are two or thre
cabinets, containing WashiDgton's CAM
outfit, uniform, sword, pistols (perfect Ii
le CD beauties), several letters, many o

Among the houses, small and large, seat
tered hither ard thither over the grounds
are some which the visitor is apt to thinl
of little Importance. Yet some of them h.
should not miss. For instance he shoul
visit Rowell's newspaper exhibition wher
there are exhibited about s goo American
newspapers, and where the visitor ma,

wish. If he chooses he may stop at one o
| two stalls and pay an outrageous price 70

AT the further end of machinery hall is
building in which is an "anclent" and
modern printing press. The modern pres
