WORLDS EAR i

|, The educational exhibit from
Wisconsin at the WORKS Fair, it is
estimated, will require 5000 square
feet of space, and application for
that amount has been made.
Mrs. French-SheldOn, the intrepid
African traveller, has applied for
space for exhibiting at the worlds
fair the fine collection of curios and
trophies she has gathered.
The exhibit which Washington
state will make at the Worlds Fair,
before being sent to Chicago, will be
displayed at the Western Washington
Industrial Exposition to be held in
Tacoma.
"a number of the far famed Kerry
cows are to be taken from Ireland to
Chicago, at the time of the Worlds
Fair, for the purpose of presenting to
the admiring gaze of visitors the
spectacle of real Irish milkmaids and
butter makers-pretty ones, of

The Baltimore & Ohio railroad will
make an exhibit at the Worlds Fair
showing the history and development
Of railways from their beginning to
the present time. In pursuance of
this purpose it has sent a represen-
tative to London to prepare models of
the chief objects of the many i'm the
Kensington Museum relating to rail-
ways.
Miss Cassatt and Mrs. MacMonnies,
both American artists nov at work
in Paris, have been commissioned by
Mrs. Potter Palmer to do the greater
part of the decorating work on the
interior Of the Woman's building at
the Worlds Fair. Both women, by
their work, have won favorable
recognition in Paris art circles.
Through the department of state
at Washington official communi-
cation has been conveyed to the
Board of Lady Managers of the
Worlds Fair from the Queen of the
Sandwich Islands. Queen LiliuOka-
lani expresses the most cordial SYM
pathy with the aims of the Board of
Lady Managers and announces her
intention, in the event Of govern
ment appropriation, of appointing a
committee to give special attention
to woman's work.
On the inland waterways, which
traverse the Worlds Fair grounds
from one end to another, there will
be plying three kinds of boats for
public use. These will be the
omnibus, express and cab boats or
launches. The omnibus boats will
make regular trips around the water
ways, stopping at each building.
The express boats will make round
trips without stopping, while the cab
boats, with carrying capacity of four
persons, may be hailed at any point
and engaged for the trip or by the
hour, as is a hanson cab.
One of the most interesting exhibits
in the Government building at the
Worlds Fair will be a display of
arms, uniforms, tents and flags in
use in the United States army at
various times since l776. This dis
play is being prepared in m of the
Gray's Ferry arsenal buildings. A
space of 5000 square feet has been set
aside for this exhibit. The uniforms
will be draped upon lay figures and
arranged i'm realistic attitudes. The
one particular group in which especial
pride is taken is to consist of seven
figures on horseback, representing a
general of the present army and staff.
The central figure will be as nearly as
possible an exact likeness of Maj-Gen.
Schofeld. All the articles were
made entirely by Americans and of
American materials. There is a col
lection of at least twenty-five flags,
and these alone are valued at IS, 1000.
The swinging rock" of Mout Tan
dill in the Argentine province of
Buenos Ayres is one of the most
remarkable features of South
America. A gigantic block % feet
high, So feet long, and Is feet broad,
with a diameter of more than 1850
cubic feet, and weighing about so, 900
pounds, seems piyoted to its base by
an invisible pin, and has a lateral
motion from east to west, produced
by the wind, or the ~propelling
strength of man,
