Worlds Fair Notes.

The pilot commission of New York has
decided to make an exhibit at the World S
Fair in the Transportation department.
A model Of pilot boat, on the scale of
one-half inch to the foot, and number
of oil paintings illustrating the pilot ser
vice, will be in the exhibit.
The Hoboken Ferry Company of New
York wants to show a fac -simile model of
the twin screw steamer at the World S
Fair, built in 1905, with original engines
and boiler. AS a contrast to this veneer
able craft it will show the model of a
built in 1892.
''Marshalrs gold nugget will be exhib-
tied at the World Fair by California, and
it is safe to say that thousands will con-
slider it one of the most interesting of the
innumerable objects which will be dis
played at the great Exposition. This is
the identical nugget which Marshall pick
ed up in the American River, Feb. Is, 1913,
when selecting a site for Suffer- mill, and
which constituted the first discovery of
gold in California. The nugget is about
the size of lima bean, and, so on account
of its associations and the almost incalcu-
liable wealth and development which have
resulted from us IlnulnH, is Regarded as an
almost priceless treasure.
William l.. LaFollette, superintendent
of the Worlds Fair agricultural exhibit
for the State of w ashington is arranging
for a complete model farm in miniature
for the Washington exhibit. He will have d
farm house, barns, fences, and fields of
growing grain. There will be fields OF
summer fallow, with tiny gang plows and
burrows. Threshers, binders and all other
farm machinery will be shown in minia-
ture as they appear when in use in the
West. Mr. LaFollette will also erect a
large cold storage safe with glass sides and
neatly arranged shelving. The fruits of
Washington will be shown in this during
their season, and collectors throughout
the State will renew the supply by send
ing fresh fruit daily to Chicago by express
First, the safe will be filled with luscious
Strawberries, and from that on during
the succeeding seasons, as the fruits rip
ems the cold storage fruit display will be
kept replenished with all varieties of rip
ening fruit from May LIST to October 50th,
1893, or during the entire time that the
Exposition is OPEN
The exhibit to be made at the World S
Fair under the direction of the bureau of
hygiene will be OF special public interest
and value because it deals with sanitary
subjects in every phase. Physical devel-
opment, food supply, preparation of food,
cooking and serving, dwellings and build
ings, hygiene of the workshop and factory,
food inspection, quarantine, reception,
cure and protection of migrants
are few of the subjects to be illustrated
by the bureau. Every possible sanitary
precaution that tends to prolony life and
minimize the dangers from disease will be
shown either by actual appliances OF
models; the evils of the tenement and
sweating systems will be brought out
very forcibly by models Of d-style tene-
ment and sweat shops exhibited, besides
models of the best possible apartment
houses and workshops. Heating, light
ing and drainage systems will be shown in
contrast with exhibits illustrating the dis
eases and deformities caused by unwhole-
some trades and professions, or equally
unWholesome quarters for the working
men. The various State boards of health
are already preparing exhibits of their
methods for the bureau, and the COMPARE
son afforded 10y such exhibits is expected
to be very valuable, atfording experts an
unusual opportunity for study.
