CHICAGO, March -, 1893.
South Dakota will have Il novel and
instructive exhibit in the Horticultu-
raj Hall. A reproduction of Crystal
Cave is being built directly under the
great dome of the Horticultural build
ing. The last of the 100000 pounds
of crystal arrived two days ago, and
the proprietors Of the cave, Keith and
Although, of Deadwood, have large
force OF men putting the blocks into
shape. The exhibit will be in under
ground passageways consisting OF
seven apartments, the largest being 80
by 40 feet. In one corner will be a
miniature lake, and at certain places
the water will be dripping from stalac-
tites just as it does in the original
cave.
Each room will be made of a differ
ent form crystalization, their being
over sixty specimens OF the most
beautiful calcite ever found before.
The crystals vary in color, some being
white, others blue, red, pink and yell
low. The entire interior will sparkle
like cave full OF polished diamonds.
Another feature will be some plants
which have never seen the sunlight.
These will be placed in the cave, as
will also the the night-blooming cereus
which has been donated by John
Thorpe. the admission will be free.
The National Columbian House
holders Economical Association is to
be the name of the Columbian House
keepers organization for the future.
The society is intended for the i'm
prOvement in domestic economy. A
wonderful interest is being taken by
the ladies in every locality where
local union has been formed in this
new work. The association is only
about eighteen months old, and there
are over three hundred members.
Mrs. John Wilkinson. its president,
said to-day, when asked what they in
tended to exhibit at the Fair. 1--WE
have had forty square feet assigned us
i'll the women's department, and this
entire space will be used to demon
strate the proper method Of making
bread. The whole process will be
shown-each step, from the raw flour
to the finished loaves, will be practi-
cally illustrated. This will be con-
tinuous object lesson during the Fair.
Artists will be at work all the time on
each part of making good bread, so
that any one can easily see aud under
stand how to make the best and most
healthful bread"
A lifelike representation OF the vol
cano Kulanea, on Hawaii Island, will
be the exhibit from Honolulu. 1t will
not be q government exhibit, but it is
managed by private parties. This
will be an interesting sight to those
who have never had the opportunity
to travel and see real volcanoes. In
fact almost all the exhibits from
abroad will be excellent object lessons
to the young people who are in school.
Object lessons are fast becoming rec.
ognized as the only true method of
teaching the young. And surely the
Columbian Exposition will be enc
continuous object lesson to every be.
holder. Every parent ought to ap-
preciate the great benefit to his chill
dren that can be derived from a
weeks visit to the Worlds Fair, next
summer.
Near the center Of the Manufac-
turers' Building will be placed a
group of pictures by which will he
illustrated the native Indians of this
country. There will be seventy of
these figures ranged in groups repre-
senting natural and characteristic
positions. Thus, for example, there
is one group that shows q number of
Zuni Indians at work manufacturing
pottery, and another representing
them in a religious ceremony. The
figures are all dressed in genuine gar
ments that were secured from the
Indians by the field agents OF the eth
biological bureau and other ways.
These figures promise to be one OF the
most interesting exhibits in the great
show.
Over 500 square feet have been as
signed to Minnesota for its pomologi.
cal exhibit. An appropriation of
5000 was made by the Minnesota
Legislature for the exhibit. Every
variety of fruit grown in the State
will be included. The exhibit occupies
the central portion Of the horticultu-
raj building. and from the unique
manner of its arrangement will be
one of the most attractive displays in
the section devoted to pomology.
Shelves will be arranged inside the
pavilion to accommodate 700 plates of
fruit. The shelves will be backed by
mirrors which will reflect light upon
the fruit, thereby heightening their
colors and producing an illusion as to
the number of specimen on each plate.
To Minnesota is due the credit and
praise of being the first exhibitor in
the section of pomology to build
