The sportsman and angler will find his
special department full Of suggestive in
terest. Every true disciple of Izaak
Walton will linger over the models in
the angling pavilion. Ancient as is the
anglers art, modern invention has
evolved hundred methods OF adding to
the amateur 6shermau's 8 enjoyment. Com.
ple,e specimens of outfits that prince
might envy will be shown. Records of
all the waters where game fish abound,
their habits, culture and value to the
sportsman, will form an instructive fea-
ture of the exhibit. The question Of un-
limited fishing for sport as distinguished
from commercial fisheries will come up
in the records of game laws that will be
full and complete.
The value of fish and fish products for
decorative purposes will be one of the
remarkable features of the exhibit. The
breeding OF purely ornamental fish, such
Us goldfish, will be illustrated. The
decorative uses of shells will be shown in
exhibits from the pearl and coral fish
cries. In all the aquaria the decorative
feature of the exhibit will be especially
prominent. In the tanks where live fish
will disport themselves the most curious
and valuable specimens of rock, seaweed,
marine plants, etc., will be used for dec
orative purposes. The center tank in
the aquarium of the United States fish
commission will be wholly devoted to
ornamental features, including specimens
of all the highly colored fish that can be
arti6cially bred.
One of the greatest features of the ex,
hibit will be a complete illustration OF

Snow Shoe Exercise by Soldiers.

There are now being made in certain
corps of the German Army some very
interesting experiments relative to the
introduction of snow shoes, to permit of
marching and service on campaign in
the severest weather.
The snow shoes used by the German
soldiers are the same as those that have
been employed for centuries in the coun-
tries of the north of Europe-Norway,
Lapland, etc. They consist, as may be
seen from our engraving, of thin. strip
of wood about yard in length, a little
wider than the foot, turned under and
curved at the extremity and shod with
iron. Every one uses them in Norway,
and the results obtained are truly Won
derful. During the deepest SHOWS the
rural postman owes to them the possibil-
ity of continuing his service, not only
without delay, but with amazing rapid
ity. The hunters of the country, pro-
vided with snow shoes, pursue the hare
and dispatch it with a single blow Of
the cane. The Norwegian soldiers, it
is unnecessary to say, could not remain
strangers to this National sport. So,
since the middle of the last century, there
has existed in their country companies
of light infantry broken in to marching
on snow shoes and capable of rendering
the greatest services in case OF winter
campaign. At present all the Norwegian
corps of infantry annually perform
maneuvers upon the snow with the aid
of these shoes, and, in their Canton
ments, even get up racing matches on
snow shoes.
The foot soldiers of the Dutch Army
are exercised in the same way upon the
frozen canals that abound in their coun-
try.
Finally, in the Russian Army, certain
corps (the sharpshooters of the 1mperia!
family and the Finnish sharpshooters)
are provided with analogous snow shoes.

bass, smelts, lobster, shell fish and scores
of other marine varieties. OF the food
fishes from inland waters there will be
shown cat fish. sturgeon, shovel fish,
big gars. dog fish, trout, varieties Of
white fish, lake herring, buffalo fish,
pike, pike peksh, varieties Of bass, sun
fish, sheepshead, carp and scores OF
others. In one tank will be shown every
known variety of small fish, including
m,nnows. The whole salmon family
will be separately dealt with. There
will be separate set of tanks for inland
fish that are indigenous to the Atlantic
slope east of the Alleghanies.
The water for all the tanks will be re-
peatedly filtered until transparent, and
its temperature will be regulated &C.
cording to the natural habits Of the fish.
Most of the marine tanks will have q
temperature of sixty degrees, while the
fresh water fish will live in water at Its
natural temperature. The marine fish
will be in three principal classes-food
fsL, beauties and monsters. There Will
be about It's species of fresh water fish
in the aquaria, not less than 13O speci-
mems being indigenous to Illinois waters.

Bodies Turned to Stone.

The work Of removing the bodies In!

Oldest House in America.

Down in old Santa Fe, the capital Of
New Mexico, the oldest seat of civil and
religious government on American soil,
there exist many remains of buildings
erected by the old Spanish conquerors of
the country. One of these, the Adobe
Palace, has been used as the"executive"
mansion since the first Governor and
Captain General. Juan de Otermln, oc-
cupied it in 1850; while the cathedral,
built in 1851, is now rapidly crumbling
away, and will soon be replaced by q
modern stone building.
Another interesting ecclesiastical edi.
fee is the Church OF San Miguel, erected
in the Sixteenth Century, but destroyed
during the Pueblo revolution of 1880,
and rebuilt in l710. Close to this

A Novel Warship.

The new coast defence vessel, known as
the "Ammen" ram Katahdin, is built
upon the plans drawn by Rear Admiral
Daniel Ammen, and is something of a
novelty in naval architecture. The
principal peculiarly consists of number
of tanks which, when filled with air,
give her covenient free board for
coasting service, but when filled with
water depress her so that her turtle back
deck is awash. She is intended purely
as weapon of offense against an attack
ing feet, and her mission will be to
sink battleships or cruisers. She will
mount no gun save few small ones of
q rapid fire pattern intended to keep off
torpedo boats.
The dimensions of the vessel are as
follows: Length over ell, Isl feet;
length on the normal water line. $50 feet
Q inches; breath extreme, 43 feet 5
inches, and on the water line, Al feet s
inches. The total depth from the base
to the crown of deck amldships is %
feet 10 inches; the normal draft of
water is Is feet, and the displacement
2183 tons. The lower portion OF the
hull is dish shaped up to q sharp
knuckle which runs all around the vessel
6 inches below the normal line.
Above this knuckle the shape of the
hull is circular arc, with aradius amid
ships of SO feet, rising from 6 inches be-
low to 6 feet above the normal water
line. This curved deck will be armor

conner, being crowded into the western
] annex. The foreign countries will
occupy the entire west half of the
main building and part of the east Sec
ton. The domestic exhibits in the rest
of the building will consist mainly of
appliances for the capture of fish, prod
ucts, and special exhibits which illus
trate the fisheries of certain sections or
States. In the western annex Wisconsin
and Pennsylvania each have aquaris for
exhibits of live fish. Here also Missouri
and Ohio will show stuffed specimens,
preserved in alcohol. The remainder Of
this annex. besides the Brazilian exhibit.
will be chiefly devoted to a display of
boats. tackle, and other appliances used
in angling, the whole to be known as
the 'angling pavilion.
Among the domestic exhibits in the
main building one of the largest indi-
vidual exhibitors will be the American
Net and Twine Company, of Boston,
Mass. This concern will exhibit all
forms of netting, rugged and otherwise,
in full sized models. Among the most
interesting displays will be the exhibit
made by the board of trade of Glouces-
ter, Mass, the largest fishing port in the
United States, and in the matter of
product perhaps the first in the world.
The Gloucester exhibit is primarily in
tended to show the present condition
and methods of the ocean fisheries of
New England. 1t will include models
of clipper schooners and other vessels,
besides models of wha1ves, packing
houses and dwellings OF fishermen. There
will be Photographic reproductions of
fishing scenes in the city. In this ex-
hibit will be life size figure of man

armor tapering from 6 inches at the
knuckle to inches at the crown Of deck.
Above this deck, when the ram is COM
pleted, will rise only coming tower IL
inches thick, smokestack and ventila-
tor, the lower portions Of which will be
protected by inches of armor, two light
barbettes, within which the guns will'be
mounted, and skid beams carrying four
boats. -
The propelling machinery will consist
of two sets of horizontal triple expansion
engines, the cylinders being respectively
25, SO and Sc inches in diameter, and
the stroke Of piston being 36 inches.
The estimated maximum horse power
will be 1900. There will be two screw
propellers.
The estimated speed with full power
is II knots per hour, and must be at
tanned to render the vessel acceptable
under contract. The quarters for officers
and crew are all within the armored
hull, and there will be fitted compete
systems Of electric lighting, artificial ven
tilation and drainage.

of the exhibit will be highly interesting.

the Pacific coast, and a model OF the Al
batross, the Governments principal
fishing steamer, will be shown in the
Worlds FAIR exhibit. The Government
also has fishing stations and hatcheries
in twenty-five different States, prin-
cipally in the West. Many of the most
valuable models to be shown at the

open ocean. There will be models OF
famous steamers employed in the Rhode
Island fisheries. The Oregon exhibit
will relate chiefly to the salmon fisheries
of that State, with illustrations OF the
methods employed. One exhibitor, who
calls himself "Whale Oil Gus" will IL
lustrate the methods of whale fisheries,
with special reference to the use OF am-
bergris for perfumery.
The monster aquaria of the United
States Fish Commission, in the east an

est display of live fish ever attempted.
The aquaria are arranged in eccentric
circles. In the centre will be highly

rarest specimens of rock, marine veeeta-
ton and ornamental fish. Outside Of
this centrepiece there is an inner circle
of tanks. In these will be massed most
of the finny specimens that are large
