TRANS. Occasional sheets of ice under
the water helped thoughtless sightseers
sit down hard in deep puddles, and
ruined any effort at enthusiasm over
landscape effects. The venturesome
visitor had company in his misery. The
Exposition woIkmen found life bur-
den, and moved about as though the
opening of the greatest show on the
earth" by May did not depend upon
their heroic efforts, be the conditions
what they may.
Two displays at the Exposition will
interest every man, woman and child
that gets in their vicinity. Whatever
the visitor may be-scientist, agricul-
turalist, commercial man, artist or lit
erary genius-these two attractions
will furnish material for personal
study. They illustrate the most re-
cent development of woman's talent
for solving domestic problems, and
have direct bearing on the foreign
market situation as it effects the home
market. When it is known that the
twin exhibits are kitchens the skeptic
may doubt the wide claims of the wom-
en- who are 10 install them. Whether
the results will justify the prospectus
or not, the outcome promises to be of
great value to the general public.
One of the kitchens is to be in the
Illinois building, under the direction
of Mrs. Rorer, of Philadelphia. The
other will be in the Woman's building
in charge of Juliet Corson. Mrs. Rorer
accompanied the Government expert,
"Cornmeal" Murphy. to Europe in
campaign of education, in which the
Europeans were taught to appreciate
corn as food product. With the ad-
vantage Of her experience in this line
Mrs. Rorer has determined to cook
nothing but corn-Illinois corn pre-
ferred-in her kitchen. The menu will
embrace everything from hoe cakes to
corn starch pudding, and everybody
who desires may see all the food pre-
pared.
Chief Buchanan has just received an
exhibit in the shape Of a complete dis
tillery for the manufacture of bourbon
whisky on the grounds. 1t is COM
plete affair, installed by dozen firms
each of which manufactures apparatus
for such plants. 1t will occupy a log
house SOx40 feet, one story and half
high. The still is to be operated dur
ing the Exposition, and the entire pro-
duct put in bond, under arrangement
with the revenue authorities. The total
installation cost about $4,000. None
of the whisky is to be sold or given
away on the grounds, the rules of the
Exposition forbidding such disposition
of it. AS the Chinaman would say,
much lookee, but no drinkee."
Statues in silver for the Fair are not
to be the only curios of the kind, for

lishman of Winstead named Jones.
