Novel Building and Interesting Ca.
lection OF Exhibits-Rare Woods.
CHICAGO, May AT the extreme southern
end of the exposition grounds stands curious
looking structure built Of wood-au wood and
nothing but wood. Like Solomon's Temple u
is joined together With wooden pins instead Of
nails, and mortices have taken the place cf
screws. 1t is Of generous proportions, beng
900 feet In length by 200 in breadth, exclusive
of an imposing coonnade extending around ali
four sides. The sides OF the building are of
wooden slabs in the rough and the roof 10
matched with bark The colonnade copsists Of
a series OF columns, each composed of three
tree trunks twenty-five feet long All the tree
trunks have the natural bark remaining. This
Is the forestry building, a novelty in EXPOSE
tons, and an attractive one, ~ the crowds
which visited il TODAY testify.
The exhibits embrace everything pertaining
to wood and it's products. Natural woods are
shown by foreign nations and the states sad
territories Of the United States. The prodUcs
OF the various woods, finished or partially flp.
ished, is shown by individual exhibitors OF

ing are Japan, Honduras, Peru. Hayti, Spain,
GERMANY. Ecuador. Colombia. Brazil, Mexico,

MONDAY sun today, and Martins Victory
perched away up on the dome, looked down
upon the throng that besieeed the wide en-
frances, eager to pay tribute to the most general
representation of the art Of the world that has
ever been attempted. Certain it is that no pre-
vious exposition has dealt so generously and 50
fairly with the masters Of all nations. In the
French expositions German art has been mainly
conspicuous by lite absence, and no French
artist of eminence has ever been known to take
enthusiastic interest in the expositions OF
the fatherland. Russian art has been compare
lively unknown in this country. and while the

ELECTRICITY,

Promise of Great Things.

The Exhibit Incomplete. but Giving
Promise of Great Things.
CHICAGO, May LIT is impossible TO deny
that the work in the electricity building is still
a long way from completion. and the building,
as compared to most of the others, presents
barren and empty aspect. The local board Of
directors transferred to machinery hall the
power plant, which occupies ls0, 900 square
feet Of space, and much electric street railway
material was assigned to the transportation
building. and the space designed for it in the
electricity was not again allotted
Numerous consultations Of great electrical
manufacturing companies during the last few
months have necessarily combined exhibits
also, with the result that much space remains
unoccnpied. The work Of setting cd dynamos
and other intricate machinery is slow. and it
will be some time before this department will
be at its best.
In the center of the building. which is 945
by $50 feet, stands the Edison tower. This il a
giant column, painted white aud thicklv
studded with incandescent lights. 1t is 100
feet high The effect is splendid. but is fully
appreciated oniy at night. The General Eiec-
tric Company Of New York has grouped its ex-
hlbit around the Edison column TO a depth of
100 feet. The Bell Telephone Company has
handsome house just inside the SOU til main
door. the Westinghouse aud other prominent
companies being ranged along the main aisle

Beyond Austria is Japan. South of the French
section is Belgium, and still further south is
Russia and small spaces allotted to Norway and

OF the colonies, including Canada, New South

the British colonies still are the sections de-
voted to Spain and Spanish American coun-
tries, Italy. the Netherlands, Mexico, Persia,

are scattered through the building wherever
the space has been found available.
BEYOND COMPARISON.
Space is lacking, however, to tell however in
adequately, of the wonders Of this building, in
complete though it Is in some of its details.
To attempt the task would be but to invite
failure. 1t is enough to say that as it stands
today the spectacle is one that dwarfs to in
significance all previous efforts in the same
direction, and that when all the exhibits have
been properly arranged-a task which will
probably be accomplished within a few days
the ensemble will be one which will not be
equaled for century to come.
ADMINISTRATION.
Inc Brain OF the Exposition How the
Great Show Is Managed.
CHICAGO, May 1.-The heart. or perhaps it
would be more proper to say the brain, of the
exposition is located in the administration
building, which all day today was a scene of
activity only slightly interfered with by the
throngs Of sightseers who crowded through its
balls and peered into its rooms and offices.
From this building all the operations of the
great show are directed and it has been the
scene during the past few months of unrc-
uniting and intelligent effort, the effects of
which are seen today in the mass Of noble
structures and slightly avenues composing the
worlds Columbian exposition.
The building occupies the most commanding
position on the grounds. and although it oc-
cuples little space, as compared with its
giant neighbors, the manufactures, machinery
and agricultural buildings, it is one of the finest
architectural achievements within the inclosure

Metals and Minerals Generally.
CHICAGO, May 1.-Of all the buildings opened
to the public today that of the mines and min

matter of fact it is ready for inspection in all
its parts. The display is interesting and en-
braces ores and associated minerals, industrial
minerals, metals, quarrying, mining and reduce

scientifically arranged with regard to detail and

the cultivation of the soil.
| But it is not farmers alone who are inter-
ested in tracing the evolution Of the binder

one who views the exhibit Is struck with its
vastness, and its value educational factor
! in the DEVELOPMENT Of the great tract of coun-
| try still unbroken on the western prairies. The
exhibit, too, has the merit of being ractically
complete. Russia, the wheat field Of Europe,
has the largest space, her exhibit occupying
nearly 10000 feet, most Of which is devoted to
wheat. Two British dependencies. Australia
| and Canada. are next in SIZE their respective
| EXHIBITS taking up nearly Z, 900 feet each. Cor
| many, too, is well represented, and Brazil has
transferred her entire national exhibit from
| last years exposition at Rio de Janeiro to the
| floor of agricultural ball. Coffee is the staple
| OF the Brazilian show, and it is in evidence
| from the bud stage until it reaches the break
| fast table. France displays a model farm on a
small scale; Japans specially is tea; China,
too. shows tea, with large display Of rice, and
| all the nations of the earth unite in displaying
the choicest products Of the soil in the most
| attractive manner.
The south half of the main floor has been de-
voted to the United States. Corn is king in
the Iowa section; Wisconsin, booth is covered
| with glass-covered panels of seeds and grains
| arranged in colored layers; North Dakota
makes a conspicuous showing of her wheat;
Louisiana displays her cotton. and Kentucky
outstrips the world with her exhibit of tobacco.
| All Of the states and territories on the main
| floor have devoted their energies to making a
| typical crop exhibit. They cOnfne themselves
to showing the raw product.
! The galleries, however have been set apart
for American exhibition of food products in
their manufactured form. The northeast cor
ner displays cereals, starches, canned goods,
phosphates, &c. The southwest section is given
up to tobaccos, mineral waters and liquors. In
the northwest section biscuits, sugars and
! CONNECTIONS, and in the southwest corner Uncle
Sam has established model agricultural ex-
pertinent station. The brewers have monopo-
lzed the entire west gallery, while agricultural
implements and machinery in bewildering va
riety are found in the annex.

tainer. wherin Chris Ramme sued Char

attorneys having made short addresses
in behalf of their clients. the court took
the matter under advisement until >
o'clock this afternoon.
The case IS a very peculiu. IL. I'D in
the main the testimony was to the effect
that the dog was brought to Mr.. Days
place by Charles Huckens. whom she
followed from town. and left there as
having no known owner. beca use there
was considerable poison scattered around
Mr.. iiuckins' place for wolves. This
was last fall. and in the meantime Mr..
Ramme heard of her. He wrote to Mr..
DAILY. and the latter said he would bring
her in or would turn her over to any
body whom Mr.. Ramme should send.
Thor ~isroadstone was given an order
for the dog. and read il to Mr.. DAILY AT

Broadstone that the dog belonged to a
