MAKING THE AWARDS.

Fifty judges in the Manufactures and Ma
cninery Departments started to work for the
first time q few days since. They found
some Of the exhibitors not prepared, and in
such cases the exhibits were passed for the
present; but all the exhibitors who were
ready expressed their acquie8ccnce in the
system of awards. The foreign and domestic
judges in the Department Of Agriculture met
in the Assembly Hall OF that building for or
ganization. They elected rs President Will
lam z. Williams, delegate from Russia and
professor in the Academy OF Moscow. Count
Addleman was chosen First Vice-President.
Meetings Of judges Of awards in the De-
partments of Mining, Electricity and Fine
Arts have also been held to perfect the or
ganization preparatory to getting 20 work on
the exhibits. The fine arts judges will fol-
low the European jury plan, which they
think alone practicable and satisfactory to
the exhibitors in such a department.
The Committee on Awards is discouraged
over the refusal Of nearly all the agricultural
implement exhibitors to participate in the
field test outside the city. Only two harvester
machine exhibitors entered for the examine
ton, and the feeling among the bulk of the
implement exhibitors. as expressed IN the
recent protest sent to Chairman Thacher, Is
not favorable to success in that branch OF
the exhibits at least.

How far must man walk to see all the
Fair? This Is a hard gu estiOn to answer, but
here are some fairly accurate figures on the
larger buildings. If you wish TO traverse the
main aisles in the Manufactures Building,
just to get a good general impression but
without edginS around thousands OF show
cases, you will find nine main aisles east and
vast, each $50 feet long. a total length Of
6750 feet. The north and south eisles, eleven
in number, are each 1850 feet long, making
total length Of 1920 feet. This makes
26 900 feet, a trihe less than Ave miles. The
minimum estimate for the gallery Oh the
same basis is Il, 500 teet. This does no:
allow for passing through the narrow aisles
of opan exhibits. 1t refers only to what
might properly be called the streets and ave-
nues. Furthermore, it does not allow for
doubling up on each thOr0ughfare. The
visitor must SEQ both sides at the same
time.
Machinery Hall has five east and west
aisies, each 1900 feet long. To pass through
these requires $500 feet Of travel. There are
eight main aisles north and south, each 800
feet long, making 1000 additional teet or TO-,
500 in all. To do" the building thoroughly

Rally has reason to feel proud Of the IN
equaled exhibit she has made in the various
departments OF the Worlds Fair. No other
country OF equal size and commercial i'm
portance has done SO much to make the
great Columbian Exposition a success. In
the Manufactures Building, west side, sec
ton 4, Italy's main exhibit is to be found.
The liberal art section contains Is 900 square
feet. and is located on the interior floor in
the northwest gallery. This space Is de-
voted TO the exhibit Of books. photographs,
musical instruments and other articles that
may be included in the category of liberal

Among the foreign countries contributing
to beauty and elegance in design Of exhibits
and display Spain is prominent. The Span
ish section in the Manufactures Building
covers an area of about % 900 square feet
and it has been economically and iudiciously
Used. The pavilion erected Is an exact re-
production Of the famous Cathedral CordoYa,
except, Of course, in size. The structure oc-
cupies space under the inner gallery in the
southwest corner Of the building and In the
rear Of the Italian and Swiss sections.
In this section there are $50 exhibitors from
Spain. mostly showing products Of cloth
and lace. In the working OF the finest lace
texture, in design and delicate execution,
the Spanish may have equals, but they GER
tG!nly have no superlOls In embroidered
designs. silk workings and gauzy woven
fabrics an exceedingly ingenious and inter-
estiaG display is made.
AS usual the most expensive exhibit fills
the least space. Because of its novelty and
its representation Of something new in the
WORKING Of precious metals, the greater in
terest. perhaps, attaches to it. Felipa Guis-
asOla lady OF Madrid. some years ago con-
ceived the idea Of ornamentinS steel with
gold, by first sketching designs on steel and
then hammering gold into the grooves, leav-
ing greater or less projection OF the precious
metal on the surface, according to the size
and character Of the figure desired to be pro-
duced. The gold was then shaped by ham
mering OR was cut on the surface to represent
faces, figures, flowers or whatever design
fancy or the love Of art dictltei. The finest
work Of this kind in the exhibit, worth over
800, 900, is two fine vases, one Of the Pom
peiian design and the other Renaissance.
They are about four feet high. and the steel
body is richly Ornamented with gold Of all
colOrs.

around On the Ferris wheel is nearly one
sixth of a mile.
Here are some distances which the habitual
visitor will appreciate. From the entrance
to Midway it is 1900 feet to the Administra-
ton Building. This is considerably more
than three-quarters OF mile, q good walk,
even in the country. Yet people who cover
the distance every day LOOK over st the dome
and say "Ihere'S no need OF taking train ;
It's only 4 step" Up 1t the narrowed north
end OF the grounds it is 1000 feet from the
Fifty seventh street gate over to the lake, yet
this preliminary stroll is uEnOtlced by those
who pass the State Buildings and then turn
southwark for the'main part OF the show. In
keeping track Of distances it IS always we'll
to remember that once around the Manufac-
lures Building lacks about 200 feet Of being
mile.
Suppose you land from q boat at the Casino
pier, walk over to the perlstyle, turn north
aud pass through Manufactures Building,
straight through the Government Building
and then proceed by the shortest cut to the
art palace. How far do you suppose you
have travelled? A mile? More than that

Algeria is a French colony, but It has beea
given distant place and large space in the

imitation of marble. is d central court. TIE
office of Mr.. Montels. the commissioners
from the colony is situated at one Of the
corners the rest of the space being devoted
to a display Of the products and art works of
the country. Pictures by native artists hang
on the walls. showing the four seasons in
Algeria street scene in Algiers and other
subjects. A fine cabinet in native woods LS
shown. tobacco, manufactured and natural,
and specimens Of the ramiee a variety Of
reed from which fine f1brOus materiaI is
made. Woods Of the country are exhibited
in the form ofthin sections bound in Volumes
resembling books. There is q fine Arabian
mirror, the frame OF which was carved with
knife by native artist, and other speci-
mems of wood carving.
In the main department of the exhibit, q
great display OF cork is made. The trunk Of
a tree is shown, the rough bark in bales, and
manufactured cOrks. Sheet cork for hat lin
ings is shown and thicker leaves for insoles
for shoes. There are 1900, 900 acres in AL
geria covered with cork trees which will be
in full production in five or six years, when
the crop will be enormous. Algerian cork IS
equal to that OF Spain, it is asserted. Growth
OF the tree is limited to lands in the Mediter
ranean basin. There are 100000 french
people in Algeria, the same number Of per-
sons of other Nations and 3,500Oc0 natives.
A curious product OF the country is alta. a
fibrous grass from which ropes are made. It
pulps readily and fine paper is made, much
Of which is exported to England. AS EVIL
dencing the Importance Of Algeria's com
merce, goat skins to the value Of $500, 900
were exported to the United States in 1892.
This industry is of recent growth, as, four
years ago, none were exported. Wool is
another important product, while the grain
Of the colony is Of superior quality.

The Worlds Fair is not only wonderful

immense space covered by the Fair, the CHI

has often been remarked, and there is no
harm In repeating it now, that the general
bigness of things around the Exposition
gives delusive ideas Of distance. The visitor
has an experience like that of ''tenderfoot"
In the Rockies who concludes to walk over 20
q certain peak before breakfast ana after
traversinG few miles is told that he will be
there before night if he keeps moving. The
excurs!onist at the Fair often forms nasty
conclusion that he can see nearly everything
in a day. Afterward he is ready TO admit
that he couldn't cover the ground in a week
on a bicycle
Take the Plaisance, for instance. From
the Cottage Grove avenue gate TO the en-
trance from the main grounds is exactly one
mile. The man or the woman, however. who
wanders out TO the limits of the Piaisance
and then back again does not travel in a
straight line He or she makes diagonal
cuts across the roadway from one noisy show
to the other, strays off into pockets and
probably tramps quarter Of mile in Java
