Canada displays the famous methods

send creditable exhibit of the food
and commercial products of her fisher
les. There viii also be a large collec-
ton of boats, fishing paraphernalia.
and fish-eating animals and birds, be-

Americans will not be outdone, de-
spite the elaborate preparations being
made by foreign competitors Ten
states will make collective exhibits in
the main building. They are Maine,
Rhode Island, Oregon. Washington,
North Carolina. Wisconsin. Pennsyl-
vania, Missouri. Ohio and Minnesota.
Pennsylvania and Wisconsin will each
show its methods of fish propagation
and culture. There will also be water
ways by which fish climb the mountain
rivers and rapid-fiowimg streams. And
in addition to the live fish in tanks
these states will show models and pho
tographs of their hatcheries.
The Japanese exhibit will be The
largest of any of the foreign coun tries

products there will be models of the diff

therefore will doubtless be very COM

The transportation of the fisheries eX-
hibits from all parts of the world has
been attended with many difficulties
and much expense. Huge tanks have
been constructed and special cars and
vehicles have been fitted up. and with
all the pains taken there has been much
loss and disappointment experienced by
those interested in the displays. Sew

life have died in transit. and some that
