Foreign workmen At the Fair.

An interesting question in relation to
the admission OF foreign laborcrs who
come with exhibits 10 the fair was dis
cussed recently by the committee on
federal Legislation. Many of the semi
official displays, such as the street
Scene in Cairo which is designed to
furnish picture Of life in Egypt. win
be practically valueless unless natives
Of those countries can come with those
exhibits. There viii be large num-
ber of such displays At the fair. and
in addition to these many other cxhib-
itors viii want - bring native mechan-
les and attendants. The treasury de
partment az Washington made n ruling
several months ago that certain classes
Of foreign workmen may bc admitted,
but a further expression of opinion is
desired, and Secretary Foster VIII be
asked for additional information on the
subject. Director Edwin Walker feels
confident that, the decision viii be IA
vorable to those who have secured con-
cessions to operate such attractions as

Caring little where they 60 or what explore;

Time In Animals.

Time sense is very highly developed
in domestic fowls and many dogs, horses
and other mammals, which keep an ac-
curate account of days of the week and
hours of the day, and have, at least, a
limited idea of numerical succession
and logical sequence. A Polish artist,
residing in Rome, had an exceedingly
intelligent and faithful terrier, which,
as he was obliged to go on journey,
he left with friend, to whom the dog
was warmly attached. Day and night
the terrier went to the station to meet
every train, carefully observing and re-
Numbering the time of their arrival,
and never missing one. Meanwhile he
became SO depressed that he refused to
eat, and would have died of starvation
if the friend had not telegraphed to his
master to return at once if he wished to
find the animal alive.
