country.
The magnitude OF the building
operation. now going on at Jackson

burg i'll which to make Il polar exhibit,

furs and all the paraphernalia of in
habitants of the polar regions, will be
installed in the building if the con-

ployed in perfecting the landscape
features of the Exposition site. 1t is

lawns, terraces, fountains, shrubbery
and flowers. Several hundred dollars
are to be expended for this purpose.

effect that the associated chemical
works of the German Empire bad
agreed to make full and comprehen-
sive exhibit at the Exposition in 1898.
As is well known, the Germaa Empire
leads all the world in the matter of the
chemical manufactures, and the exhibit

be one of the most attractive and III
struclive at the Exposition.
The Palace of Music at the EXposl-
ton, it is now expected, will stand on
the great island formed by the lagoons,

will measure $50 by $50 feet, and cost
approximately 100000.
