good taste that foreigners come here again
and are lost in admiration of the effect
produced by the use of such simple ma
terials.
Facing the sea, appropriately, are clus-
tered the six New England states, with
New Jersey in one corner. Their buildings
are models of beauty and comfort. New
Hampshire calls herself ''The Switzerland
of America" on account of her scenery
and her industries. The New Englanders
are already coming TO the fair in large
numbers, and the registers IN these club
houses of the states show page upon page
of arrivals each day.
We have nor turned into one OF the
finest thoroughfares of the exposition. 1t
is the avenue which runs west from the
lake with some Of the foreign buildings
and the great Art palace on the left, and
this group of New England buildings on
the near right, Massachusetts, occupies the
corner, and farther along stand New York,
Pennsylvania and Missouri. The Massa-
chusetts building fascinates tie eye of
thousands of people who are not from
Massachusetts. 1t is made of Massachu-
sets material throughout, and modelled
after the Old Hancock house which stood
for SO many years a familiar landmark on
Beacon street, Boston. To come upon this
pure old colonial structure is enough to
carry the imagination back to the early
days Of New England and relieve their
mind, for a moment, of consideration of
the more splendid things of modern times.
Within Is a collection of historical articles
and portraits of rare interest.

The most popular OF all the state build
ings is that of Pennsylvania. No wonder.
The keystone state shows here a model of
Independence hall, Philadelphia, and
within 1t she has placed the bell which
proclaimed liberty to the land and all the
inhabitants thereof. No visit to the
Worlds fair is complete without a view of

chair in which Thomas jefferson wrote
the declaration Of independence, the table
on which the declaration was signed and
the inkstand used on that momentous oc-
casion. There are many other historical
relics in the building. In addition to all
this the parlors and the piazzas of indie

has the following to say OF US:
"There never has in the history of
any country such a perfect tidal
wave of emigration flowed in upon
the land as has been pouring into
Dakota this spring. From mid
winter until this writing, there has
been a continuous and ever lncreas-
ing procession moving forward
night and day 10 the rich, rolling
prairies Of this fair new country.
Throughout the states OF Illinois,
Iowa, Indiana and Wisconsin, there
are many communities that have
emigrated IN n body to Dakota, set
tied down ia colonies together and
maintained their social relations the
same as i'm their old homes. The
newcomers will find several things
there very different from the distor-
ted accounts of the eastern papers
would indicate. They will find a
very fertile soil, plenty Of water
and abundant rainfall, hut little
snow in winter, and a climate as
that of Iowa, Nebraska or northern

Of beautiful buildings, each representing
a state OF the Union, and each In its size
and cost, and often in its contents, indi-
eating that there is an empire behind it.
The foreigner, who Of course knew but lit
tie as to the magnitude of the American
union, is amazed TO find it composed of so
many states; he is surprised at the display
of and energy. AS for the
american, it is impossible for him to walk

A fascinating picture of the pos
sibllities of future development on
the earth is portrayed in "The
Story of the Millennium" which is
made q special feature of the June
number Of Demorest's Family Maya
zine. 1t depicts the condition OF
mankind on the earth in the ten
thousandth century, when inter
planetary communication has been
established and the "dream of the
ages" has become a vivid and mag.
niicent reality. Novel views con.
corning the progressive evolution
OF mankind during the intervening
epochs are included, and the nara.
tive is related in an easy, converse
tional manner, the events being
supposed to transpire through the
publication Of the proceedings OF
the Optimistic Club, an institution
established for the purpose of fore.
telling the future of the world. The
story Is illustrated by Beard, and is
from the pen Of Arthur Field. This
is the first attempt at anything like
a complete pictorial representation
of the future appearance of the
earth and Its inhabitants.
