tan take in. These are situated in what
Is called the Midway plaisance. Mr..
kbbott says part Of them can be taken
IN from time to time during the other
Lays. Among them is the famous Els
kimo village; also Dutch, German and
rish villages, with reproductions Of the
streets of faraway cities, strange enough
to our western eyes. Among them will
be street scenes from Cairo, STEAMBOAT,
Tunis and Algiers.
OF course if one is specially interested
in any particular department, it will pay
him best to spend more time in that.
The farmer and live stockman will care
most for the agricultural display, which
includes also the forestry exhibit. The
