this building 10 due directly TO tardiness Of
exhibitors. for tho building was nubhed
completely more than eight months go.
Some boxes havo been unpaeked hut
many haven't and nothing has besn oone
towards arranging other exhibits. No

THE FIsHERIEs BUILDING.
Situated on the island at the entrance
north Of the lagoon the fisheries building

the main building displays are being rap.
Idly placed Ia position and includes the
skeleton OF q mammoth whale, boats Of

aquaria containing every form Of nsh and
ANIMAL life possible to obtain. ln the
center Of the building workmen arc con.
strtctina . huge aquarium from which
arises a mound OF rocks. Here fresh
water fish will live. Around the court ad-
joining the rotunda glass aquaria are
arranged for the reception Of almost any
number OF fish. Every variety OF flsh
from the half vegetable formations fouud
at the bottom Of the sea TO the most active

WOMEN Up WITH THEIR WORK.
With characteristic determination. the
lady tnauagers OF the woman's building
have about completed the installation Of
their exhibit and the building aud exhibit
will stand as monument TO the energy
and courage OF the women Of the present
era. Weeks OF active entleavor have re-
suited in a majority OF the exhibits being
placed, and the building. Will be- thrown

Every article displayed 10 from the hand
OF women. Especial interest 10 centered
In this building and It's display, as this 10
the first international fair at which die
play of this character has been made.
THE FORESTRY BUILDING.
There 10 an appearance of sturdiness
about the forestry building. The fact
that hundreds OF columns In big tree
trunks In natural state aud massive as
shingied walls, desiencdly innocent Of
paint, gives II an uniqueness all its own,
and presented . good front, seeming to
toll OF well-arranged exhibits within; but
hope sank when full Wow of the interior
was obtained. Scarcely moro than q
dozen booths arc even approaching com.
pletion. while almost everywhere the eye
rested could he seen exhibits still un-
packed In boxes. canvas, wrapping paper
and all sorts OF covering. Yet tho specta.
Gle was one worth many miles journey to
see. More huge cross sections and logs Of
different varities, more polished brilliant
colorcd slabs and posts arc about than the
average man would expect to see In a
dozen worlds fairs. Promise Of speedy
betterment. too, 10 observable.
UNCLE SAN IN GOOD SHAPE.
Head and shoulders above everybody
else is Uncle Sans completeness. Posi-.
bly, never more perfectly has the effective.
ness Of the national resources been
brought to bear to meet given conditions,
From the stars and stripes fiutterina
above the huge red dome and great Rilded
eagle over the entrance TO the tin!est de
tails of the showing Of Uncle Sans house
hold affairs, everything is In splck and
span order.
WHERE CHAOS REIGNs.
The army. navy, postofiice. interior
justice, state and agricultural buildings
presented very much tho appearance Of d
Kansas village after q rainless cyclone
Boxes, bundles. shcavcs, grain. bottles
skins. agricultural instruments aud ma
chinery are distributed In apparent,
hopeless confusion all over the building Ia
scores, dozens. hundreds. Tho exhibits
appear to be taking on systematic shape
but Il 10 apparent to q novice that weeks
must cIapso before the exhibits in agri
cultural building will be Installed foI
visitors OF esthetic taste. Several Inors
energetic exhibitors, however, have mads
commendable progress. though the entirs
building rs yet fails to show o single com
