WORLDS FAIR NOTES.

A typographical map of the Gettys-
purg battlefield and models of the Cen
tennial Exposition, and of Independ-
en- e Hall, will appear in the Pennsyl-
vania exhibit A public spirited citizen
will contribute the first named, and the
city of Philadelphia will furnish the
last two. The schedule of exhibits
adopted by the state Worli's Fair
board, indicates that Pennsylvania will
make a very extensive, complete and
interesting showing.
The horticultural display at the
Worlds Fair will be bewildering in ex-
tent and marvellous in beauty. The ex.
hibit will possess great scientific and
educational value, but to the ordinary
visitor its ornamental features will be
the most striking. Indeed, it will play
an important part in the adornment OF
the great EXP osition. While in almost
every part of the Exl osition grounds
may be seen gratifying evidences of the
very efficient work of the Horticultural
Department, the central point of inter
est will naturally be in the exhibit in
the Horticultural Luilding. This struc-
ture is 99S feet long and has an ex-
treme width Of $50 feet. Its plan is a
central pavilion with two end pavil-
ions, each connected with 1t by front
and rear curtains, forming two interior
courts, each SO by 270 feet. Surmount-
ing the central pavilion is q beautifully
proportional dome, 1877 feet In diam
6ter and 1l2 feet high.
The courts of the Horticultural build
ing will be filled with orange groves
from California and Florida, respec-
lively. In each there will be not less
than I60 trees, each bearing about 200
bright, ripe oranges. Thus an inter
esting comparison may be made be-
tween the oranges of the two States as
70 size and flavor, etc The courts
will also contain growing specimens Of
lemons, lines. bananas, etc. Cali
fornia would like to make much
larger display than will be possible,
and applied for about fifty times as
much space as could be assigned
The New York Exposition board is
Filming to show in its State building

eDgraver of talent, from the earliest
record. represented.
The German "village," for which the
Exposition authorities granted con-
cession some time ago, will occupy a
space DOS by $50 feet on Midway Plais-
ance. The features of the exhibit are
medieval German town, with a
market place and town hall, which will
contain the German ethnooraphic
museum. Around the town will
be farmhouses from different Sec
tions of ths German empire
occupied by natives. In a
medieval German castle there will be
a restaurant presided over by caterers
from Berlin. Another interesting
feature of the town will be an ancient
monastery establishment. There will
lie large concert gardens, in which
about 5000 people can sit at tai les,
while two German bands will play.
The construction work has been In
progress for several weeks at Frank
fort-on the Main. The contractors are
Phillip Holzmann & Co., the builders
of the imperial palace at Strasburg
and many other celebrated structures
