light material. 1t is about thirty feet
high, thirty feet wide and fifty feet
long and is composed of nothing but
bamboo poles, ingeniously put together,
and mating such as is used OH the
other houses.
The work of building this village
was a mammoth undertaking for the
little brown people who inhabit it, but
IN their leisurely fashion they finally
accomplished it, and are now quite
comfortable and contented in their
little dove-cotes of houses.
Nearly as odd as the houses of the
diminutive Javanese arc the huts of the
Fijians. close by on the opposite side Of
the Plaisance. Strongly resembling
scooped-out straw stacks of an ancient
date, they nevertheless afford the in
habitants ample protection from all
kinds of weather. This is all that is
required of them. as the highest con-
ception of comfort of which these peo-
pie are capable is full stomach and
place to crawl into and sleep.
We might go on and enumerate the
different styles of architecture in vogue
among the civilized nations, but lack
of space will not permit Suffice it to
say that there is hardly characteristic
architecture in the world that is not
represented in our great White City.
And not only the buildings are shown,
but the ninutest details of everyday
life are faithfully portrayed, so that a
few hours spent among the villages of
the fair will afford about as much
knowledge of the different countries as
would a complete tour of the world.

WHERE THE DANGER WAS.
a snake story by a Yves leicester County
Farmer.


The snake" said a Westchester
county farmer who was adding few
touches to mis- stone fence, lis compara-
lively extinct in this part of the United
States. Scarcely anything left of the
family. except few mourners.
TIP in the northwest is where you
want TO go if you're anything of a
snake lover. was up there for awhile,
aud tell You il was interesting
wouldn't have missed the experience
for worlds Up there you'd have to
stop the moving machines because
they'd get clOgged up with snakes, four
and five in a bunch. After you once
got a field cleared il wasn't SO bad. but
wherever you found that prairie grass
would be the place to look for
menagerie.
1t must have been exciting to work
in such a field. said the sun reporter.
No IL was just pitiful. One min.
ute you'd hear their rafting and the
next you'd see tn, snakes cut down. /
don't say that there wasn't any danger"
Il should think they'd strike at You
very frequently"
..Oh, the danger don't run that way.
We were pretty well protected as far as
their biting Us was concerned. We al
WAYS had lot of stovepipe on hand
and every man would get his legs nicely
logged out in sheet-iron trousers before
he went TO work. Sometimes they
would get after the men so lively that
the noise of their teeth on the sheet
iron would sound like hail OF tin roof.
II would bother tenderfoot eonsidera-
blv. but after a man had been there
awhile he didn't mind il. IL was funny
To watch a snake gather himself and
glance off a piece of sheet iron with
the first toothache he probably ever
had
"But the real danger came in when
you went 70 fix the moving machine.
You see when the snakes would get
knotted together around the knives
they would bite anything that was
handy The consequence was that
they would ill one another fun of
poison. and when the knife went
through their bodies il would get all
gummed up with venom. OF course
somebody would have to clean it off.
aud he had 10 be mighty careful not "a
scrape his finger against the blade too
hard. because If he took the skin off il
meant one of two things funeral or
a terrible waste of whisky.
No. the old man concluded. almost
cOntemptuOusly, snakes up this way
are pretty good TO make pets of. but
they don't really seem like sSakes -

BILE great pictures
The mining panel portrays a sturdy
youth in a shirt of red corn, trousers of
millet heads and cap from seed of vari-
GUS kinds. The flesh tints of face and
brown hands are strikingly brought
out by the natural color % corn husks
The dairy panel represents girl of
comely face in light corn husk, dress
of red cobs and tresses of brown corn
silk. The COW by her side is in millet
heads. Three cows and a calf, also in
millet adorn the stock panel.
The panel depicting pottery sets forth
a young artisan, in a Roman cloak of
tinted corn, in the act of fashioning an
urn made of fine seeds. The shading
of the potter's cloak in corn is very
artistic, the coloring running from a
deep rich red to light pink.
