In miniature, OF course, but they are so
carefully modelled after the originals
that they afford an accurate study of
the building methods of historic race.
Five models of as many famous
pueblos of Arizona and New Mexico
occupy space in the main corridor of
the building. The stone and adobe
dwellings of the sedentary tribes
which of all the Indians reached the
highest mark of civilization are shown
as they stand to-day, These sedentary
tribes, so called in distinction from the
nomadic tribes, lived in that part of
the continent which is now included
by the territories of New Mexico and
Arizona The very fact of the situa-
ton of the pueblos signifies great
deal to a student of etbnology. The
advancement of the savage to
state where a tribe lived together all
the time within the walls of a city and
could be found at home at any time by
band of hostile Indians is in
measure accounted for by the pro1r
unity to the domains of the great
Aztecs. The range of the civilization
of the ancient inhabitants of Mexico
was as far reaching as it was potent
One of the most remarkable of the

At certain hours of the day the groups
around the judges stand in the live
stock pavilion remind one OF scenes at
a Kentucky sale of blooded stock. The
farmers size up the sleek animals shown
in the ring, discuss their fine points
and exchange critical opinions. They
draw comparisons between the worlds

state agricultural society whose meet

of excellence here which they never

human conduct turned away finally
with the remark: "Well, all he needs

eonuoLA AGAINST CANOE.
The Indians Were No Match for the Gay
GondolIers.

Gondoilers.
The peaceful routine of worlds fair
life was interrupted one morning lately
by an incident which sent ripple of
excitement over the grounds. On the
shore of the south pond, which connects
on the north with the lagoon, there Is
encamped colony OF the lIaidah, or
Qualsuhl Indians from Queen Charlotte's
and Vancouver islands. They have
their massive cabin, dance house, tall
totem poles and canoes conspicuously
located along the shore. Some OF the
canoes, which are very large, and are
fashioned from trunks of huge trees
indigenous in those islands, bear resem-
blance in form TO the Venetian Condo
las. The resemblance, however, is
confined to contour, for while the gon-
dolas are gorgeous with paint and
plush upholstery, the Quakuhl canoes
are rude, weather beaten craft.
On the morning above mentioned,
Hawmissati, chief OF the Quakahls, had
gone out in his canoe, for a constitu-
tional along the lagoon. Padding
leisurely along with Iiisynish, his
nephew, in the bow, the chieftain
viewed with surprise the majestic
buildings around him and bowed rever-
entially to the golden statue Of the
republic as he entered the great basin,
probably thinking it an idol.
Presently, at the west end of the
basin. gondola, manipulated by two
athletic gondoliers, named Giuseppe
Martin and Enrico Saline, shot out
from beneath the bridge and glided
swiftly past the dreaming Quakuhls.
Their gay appearance reused the pa
triotic pride of the Hawmissatl.
Grasping his paddle firmly he made a
sign to his nephew, and soon the black
craft went up to the gondola. The
Vcnetians saw the movement and a
race ensued which enlisted the atten-
ton of thousands along the basin.
For time the two were nose and
nose on an easterly course, 1t was
curious to note the different action
of the rowers The gondolers made
strong, steady strokes with their oars,
feathering them in the water, while the
Indians, on their knees, used their short
paddles nervously until the foam rip
pied in white streaks from the bow OF
the canoe.
The Venetians in their gorgeous cos
tunes shouted excitedly, but the In
dams, stolid as totem pole, uttered
not word Several electric launches
and gondolas followed in the wake OF
the racers.
Down the basin and past the golden
statue went Indians and Venetians.
The gondola reached the tunnel first
and went through ahead. The boats
then entered the south pond and made
for the Quakuhl village The gondola
crept steadily ahead, for the rough
hewn canoe could not be forced through
the water like the painted craft OF
Venice. When the village was reached
the gondola made a dozen lengths in
advance. The time from the middle OF
the north end of the Agricultural build
ing to the village was seven minutes fol
the gondola and seven minutes and
thirty seconds for the canoe.
When Hawmissatl landed he walked
along to the gondola and looked at il
attentively for some time. But he is un
derstood to declare emphatically that
he has another canoe, bearing the poet
ical name of Foam of the Sea, which
no gondola can pass!

all connected with one spot, though
running off in strings in five directions
1t is uninhabited to-day and still
remains as it stood untold centuries
ogo,
A novel feature of the daily pro-
gramme at the fair Is the playing OF the
chime bells in the tower of Machinery
hall. Visitors from the country who
have never seen the operation of
chime of bells are at loss to under
stand how II Is done. Some very
naturally suppose that It is done by
simply pounding upon the bells with u
hammer, but then again that seems a
little improbable when they hear some
of their favorite tunes played and with
such correctness as they are executed.
A visit to the east gallery of the hall
will enlighten the uninitiated on chime
ringing.
There the operator is at work. At
first sight it would seem that he was
engaged in running double-geared
combination pumping apparatus or in
a spirited contest of human endurance
against machinery, but q few moments
observation will reveal the fact that he
is engaged in playing the tune which
at the moment is rolling through the
corridors of the grand Court of Honor.
Prof. c. f. Bredberg is the operator of
the chimes at the fair and he manipu-
lates the handles of the keyboard in a
mastery manner. Through his skill
the ears of the tired sightseer
who sits upon the base of some statue,
or any other base that will afford him
O moments rest, are delighted with
some old-time melody as it goes ring
ing across the domes Of the beautiful
city Of white.
At stated intervals during the day
Prof Bredberg opens his music book to
familiar tune and places it before
him on his Ginning stand. Then he
commences series of gymnastics that
give him muscles like a blacksmith's.
1t Is not nearly so easy as it looks to
the knot of visitors that always gathers
around the railing when the professor
begins. He dances up and down the
line of handles, at times using one
hand and at others both. When he
grasps handle he gives it vigorous
push downward, and without an in
stants hesitation goes on to the next.
1t is the big bells that have hardened
Prof. Bredberg's biceps 1t is no trick
at all to ring the little ones, but the
deep-toned monsters with heavy clap
pers are harder. To ring them an
amount of strength such as the ordinary
man does not possess must BE put into
the stroke. There must be certain
amount of delcacy in each stroke, too,
for any discord, however slight IL
might be in an ordinary instrument,
produces grating jar when it appears
in chime. Prof. Bredberg is too old
at the business to make any mistakes

Surface of the ground with tile buried

POULTRY PlCKlNGS.

BRAINIA eggs are said to be darkest
in color when the pullets commence
laying late in the fall.
SOME of the most successful poultry
men sell the early Matched ROSTERS for
broilers and keep the pullets for layers
THERE is no economy in having the
poultry so wild that they cannot be
handled readily at any time that it may
be necessary.
DUCK acts like it was always hun
CRY and for this reason it is an easy
matter to overfeed, and there is moth
ing gained by having them too fat.
IT is good time now to feed and fat
ten the old hens for market. This can
be done better now than later. There
is no gain in keeping them any longer
than is strictly necessary.
FILTH from allowing the droppings
to accumulate is, perhaps, the most di-
rect cause of disease. There should be
a regular time for cleaning up and it
should be.strictly adhered to.
WHILE for some reason it may be a
good plan to bury fowls that die with
contagious disease, the safest plan is to
burn as soon as possible. This destroys
all chance of spreading disease by
contagion.
WHEN the hens have a good range
they are able to pick up various kinds
of food and so have a supply of all the
clements that go to make up the eggs
that they produce, but when confined
this variety must be supplied.
AS SOON as the weather begins to get
cool safe rule in feeding, especially
with the laying hens, is to give warm
feed in the morning and whole corn at
night, giving the latter just before the
fowls fly up on the roosts.-St. Louis

though somewhat removed from the
