WORLDS FAIR NOTES.

The State Buildings of several States are
only houses of public comfort where no ex-
hibits of their natural production have been
placed. Here all who wish may come and
lounge and rest.
The Kansas State Building exhibits a va
riety of the fauna, which have been 50 dex-
terOuSly placed that one can imagine time
when all lived in happy harmony and when
the carnivora were feeding upon the diet of
NebuchadnezZar.
The Womens Building may be called an
art gallery by itself No where in all the ex-
noticed as right here. The def fingers, the
correct eye. the artist mind of woman are
shown everywhere.
AMONG the wonders observed by CORES
pendent at the Fair were shawls from India
marked at $40. 900 tea from CeylOn valued
at 3S7 per pound a diamond from the mines
valued (and SOld) at 800. 900; a nugget Of
gold worth $500. and many others of virgin
gold from 81 u t. the largest one
BUTCHERS and Grocers Day at the Fair
was celebrated by the representatives of
those industries to the number Of nearly 1000.
They assembled in front Of the AdmniStra-
ton Building and marched to Festival Hall,
where the National Convention Of Grocers
and Butchers Of the United States was held.
The Forestry Exhibit is a study for the
naturalist, which it would take at least a full
month for an expert to analyze and longer to
describe. The logging camp gives one a view
of pioneer life. The simplicity Of bed and
table, the few things thought necessary to
supply the daily wants CT the pioneer. his
possible enjoyments and his probable depri-
walton are all revealed by the utensils Of
woodcraft and the ingenuity for amusement
III his isolation.
UTAH makes an exhibit in silks. A most
magnificent robe de chambre. fit for an En-
perOr or an American citizen to wear. is a

various forms are also shown. Almost any
part of North America in the temperate zone
can produce silk. Hitherto the labor in its
production has been too expensive to make
it profitable, but in Utah. where women and
children are numerous and Obedicnt, the
production of silk is not only a possibility,
but "a fact.
In the New South Wales exhibit in the An
tropOlogical Building is picture Of a burly
cannibal who was most remarkable man.
1t is portrait OF Mickey, the great chief Of
the Ulladullahs. the most expert boomerang
thrOWer in Australia, a mighty warrior who
had eaten the hearts of no less than eighty OF
his foes. When he got tired of killing OppO-
stion chiefs with his boomerang he devoted
himself to art. and six pictures of his paint
ing show his superiority to the general run
Of native Australians in other fields than
those of war. The missionaries got hold of
him. and he died a Christian a couple of
years ago at the age of fourscore.
THE first thing to be done after entering
through the turnstile at the Fair Grounds is
to seek the Intramural Railway Station, pur-
chase a ticket n: q cost Of ten cents and take
n ride around the grounds. This will give
one an idea of the grandeur and extent of
Jackson Park as we'll as of the size and loca-
ton Of the various buildings. More knoWl-
edge and information caa be gained from
one trip of thirty minutes than can be de-
