ty-Scven Feet Long.
Twenty-one carloads Of the Krupp Gun
Works exhibit have arrived ut Chicago and
will be moved over to the pavilion cast OF the
agricultural building on the lake shore, which
Is nearly ready to receive 1t. The exhibit,
which Is the bulkiest and one Of the most I'M
portant that Will be shown at the exposition,
was landed In this country about two weeks
ago at Baltimore and put on specially con-
structed freight cars by the Pennsylvania
railroad. The Krupp exhibit contains some
most remarkable ordnance pieces. The larg-
est is n cannon piece weighing l24 tons. This
is the heaviest single article ever transported
In n railroad train. There are several other
pieces that would not feel we'll on mans toe.
Some Of them weigh sixty-ave tons each, and
all Of the exhibit Is propc.s.5t,, ...sy bulky.
! III Hiilhousen, chief engineer OF the
krupp Gun Works, and Richard Ahc will have
charge Of the installation OF the monster cx-
hibits. The work OF installing the great guns
Of the exhibit Is tough problem for the de-
partment ut tho Fair. When they are in po-
sltion they Will point out over the waters OF
the lake, from the shore near the main pas
senger dock. Some Of the guns will be under
roof and some outside on pivots In position to
deal death and destruction to the whole COM

piece owned by the United States, being 81

velocity Of $500 feet Il second. 1t will not
throw any during the exposition, however, for

pane OF glass on the exposition grounds.
Special cars, built almost entirely Of steel,
were constructed to bring the guns TO Chi
rago, and the Job Of transporting the exhibit
was one Of the biggest ever undertaken by the
road that brought them.

resented BY classified series Of grains and
grasses. The county exhibits are mixture
OF all the grains and grasses grown in that
section, while the state exhibit contains no
duplicates, but merely the best sample Of
each kind raised In Colorado. Tho plan Of
the agricultural exhibit at the Worlds Fair
Is very unique, elaborate and artistic, and
reflects great credit upon supt. Faurot, who
has unrelentingly devoted several months at
tention to the gathering and management OF
the exhibit Justice cannot be done to the
matter within the brief limits Of this letter,
but It Is certain that Colorado will receive
from her exhibit greater benefit than from
any previous attempt made ut advertising her
resources. The 100000 appropriated has
been splendid investment.
