that delinquent states are liable to loss the

Mr.. Ossian Guthrie, of Chicago. together
with many other scientists, declare. that 40
more striking proofs OF the glacial epoch
exist in this country than are seen in the
Dssplaines valley between Chicago and
Joliet. For educational reasons Mr. Guth-
RE advooates the making Of IN xhibit
demonstrating this fact at the Worlds fair,
with maps. surveys and collections of geo.
logical specimens. which are abundant, SO
arranged as to show the lines Of glacial
progress. This. he estimates, would re-
quire about $4,000.
Ssven Of the Worlds fair buildings are
now so far advanced that they are fast as
Stunning the appearance of finished struct-
urss. The rough carpentry work on them
il practically done and the ornamental and
finishing work is in progress. These build
1ngs al the woman's, horticulture, trans
portatlon. mines. administration, forestry.
and fisheries. Five more-the government,
hno arts, agriculture, dairy and Illinois

1t is probable that the visitor to tho ex-
position will have an opportunity OF seeing
u more extensive and hner exhibition Of
ancient Greek art than it has heretofore
been possible to see outside Of Greece. T.
C~avreRding, director general Of Grscian
antiquities, has written that the Grecian
government has accepted the invitation to
participate in the exposition. with tho un-
dsrstanding that it will be repressnt+d.only
BY memorials of its antiquities. Charles
of classic studies at Athens, states that the
Greeian government has agreed to make
and send to the exposition casts Of the
principal works OF ancient art now in
Greece, together with maps. diagrams and
photographs. To these will probably be
added casts. and perhaps some Of tho orig
lnals of specimens of classic Greek art
which are now distributed throughout
Europe.
English women are active in preparation
for thoir participation in tho exposition.
At Il meeting of the woman's committee in

OF her " work in spinning and
