Worlds Fair Exhibit.
The world IS fair commission Ilasbought5

placed in their custody to present Mime

and it demonstrates the old adage that
ga fool and his money are soon parted. =
A buffalo, porcupine and a band of Sioux
Indians will probably be added TO Min
-nesota's collection of natural history. s.
And then if the committee will re-enact
the Indian hanging, Minnesota will be,
set forth in all its natural glory. This
seems to be the tendency of the exhibit.
If, however, the commission would en-
gage gentlemen Of practical ability and
make collection of our natural products,
converting them into their uses and pllr-
poses, we might attract something more
than the Buffalo Bills and cowboy Char;
lies, and possibly capital be enlisted I'd
develop pimpo ortant Industries.
Inthe matter of clays alone, some wears
ago, an expert made q trip through parts
of Blue Earth and Brown counties and
found thirty or more different grades Of
fine clays such as arc used in choice
crockery, fine pottery, fire brick, COM
mon pottery and other uses that CLAWS
areadapted for.O OthercouEt1es of the state
are also we'll supplied with similar de
posits, and. samples of these CLAWS and al
SO of the uses to which they are adapted,
would make a most interesting exhibit:
Then the fife wheat raised under the
stimulous of the premium ffered Hy the
Pillsburys, is probably the best and pur-
est produced in this country. Last year
about fifty different samples ranged from
450 to 495 points in a scale of 500. a
jar full from each Of these Samples could
be had for the asking, and abrief history
of each, written or printed, would be a
complete presentation of this industry.
There are farmers in Minnesota who
grow annually y fifty to as high as one
hundred different varieties of Seeding
apples. Ahalf dozen of these collections
might be had in Southern AIinnesot and
they would make display that world
do honor to the best fruit districts of tie
country Our small fruits, and from fif- fif
ty to seventy five different varieties Of
grapes grown in Minnesota, where they
attain remarkable size and admirable
quality, would make a display of which
every Minnesotian might be proud.
We have quarries of stones and gram
ties used for building and ornamental
purposes, which, in their native condi-
tion, and dressed and polished, would
make another credftable exhibit.
Our cements, lines and purposes for
which they are used, would supply an
interesting exhibit in that class, while
native iron and copper, and the uses to.
which they are applied, with other re-
sources which will suggest themselves to
the reader, might be made Of great bene-
fit to our state and give a return for the
money expended.
These are not expensive, if entrusted
to men Of practical knowledge, but in
the hands Of the average political bum
mer, will exhaust the available fund
without reaching the desired results
