tasfefnlly arranged in separate rooms OF
divisions. France, Germany and Great
Britain each have 100000 feet Of space
and each have creditable displays Of their
manufactures. Russia, besides presenting
d large number Of excellent bronzes, have
with Norway and Denmark great amount
of silverware on exhibition. The other
countries have admirable exhibits, notable
|. among which is the ornamental IRON
gates at the entrance to the Austrian section
and the statuary of Italy, but lack of space
prevents giving full description OF them
Tie United States are well represented py
the principle manufacturers throughout
the country with complete list. Upstairs
il the photographers and artists depart
ments and the mechanical schools have
specimens of the students work. It takes
up whole day to go through this building
without examining very closely the many
things of interest.
The u. S. Government building has a
plain exterior but consider it one OF the
best inside. The War Department show
war material of every description and the
Arsenals explain how the matetials are
made. The main Post Office Of the Expo
sition Is in here and anyone visiting i can
not fail to understand how our mail is
handled. Side by side are one OF the
improved Railway Post Offices and the
Montana mail coach which was used by
Sherman and President Garfield, as well as
pony express and other old-fashioned
carriers. The improvements in rivers,
canals ETC., which are going on at all times
by the Engineering Department are ex5
plained BY models. The working OF the
United States Hospitals and Quarantine
Stations Is also explained. Diseases Of
animals, various pests and other things
detrimental to the farmers interests are
displayed with the cures and best methods
Of prevention. Every farmer who visits
! the fair should not fail to examine these
closely as the information will be OF mater
| ial aid to all who do so. There are many
other interesting things to be seen such as
the Patent, Mint, Smithsonian Institute and
Census Departments.
