THE TOUR OF INSPECTION.

most began with the Main Building,
entering it with the plausible resolve
not to roam aimlessly and abstract
edly among it's wonder and beauties,
but to begin with the most promi-
nent department, study it systemati-
cally, and continue in like manor
until thorough notice of each of the
others should be taken also. One
party, wearing scientific looking
spectacles, and having note booke
and pencil in hand, was heard cay,
at the western entrance. that he was
bent upon "doing" France. He had
not, however, taken thirty PAGES up
the nave when he halted and stood

many others who had made resolu>

gazing upon the stuffed hide of q
moose representing the animal in q
helpless, PROSTATE condition, wound~
ed and dying. Two Of the party are
hunters, two moro their wives, and q
third the little girl of one of them.

their appearance, even to the por-

seemingly natural that the illusion is
with the utmost difficulty removed.
One hunter eyes with pity and re-

he has just shot, the ball having

latter, being clotted with blood. The

showing her little girl what gave the
mortal wound. The child clasps her
arms round her mothers knees, and,
in pity, halt in alright, partly turns
her face and looks askance towards
the agonizod moose. The figures
are fixed upon platform covered
with artificial turf and rocks. The
sections of both Sweden and Norway
are remarkable for groups in wax,
representing scenes characteristic of
those romantic countries.
A sUPERHUMAN WORK.
This was but one of the hundreds
of interesting things met by him of
the scientific spectacles on his way to
"do" France, and at every one of the
same hundreds would that irresolute
individual have stopped had not his
prefacing studies been Interrupted
by the bells, which began to ring,
signalling the hour for excluding
visitors and closing the gates for the
night. Although five hours in the
building he didn't notice the fight OF
time, and, before the bells called him
to his senses, ne felt satisfied that
after doing" France he would
be able to make extensive notes Of
things of Machinery, Memorial, Ag>
riculiural and horticultural Halls,
the Government Building, half o
dozen or 80 of the State structures,
and some FIVE score of the miscella-
neous ones, making specalties Of the
Japanese dwelling and the Turkish
coffee house. There may be moral

who proposes to make more than a
superficial study OF the Exhibition
within the compass of a couple OF
days. 1t does not, after all, detract
from the interest of the display in
the Main Building that arrangements
