the visitor will desire to examine its attrac-
tons in detail. His attention will natur-
ally be directed first 10 the largest building
of the group-that devoted TO Manufac-
lures and Liberal Arts. Here 135, 900 square
feet will be devoted TO the most representa-
tive products OF the worlds skilled labor.

Scotch woods, English cottons, Russian
fnrS, Spanish feathers and so on through
a long list of catalogue specialties. To
man ufactured goods, mechanical appli-
ances and art treasures the European
countries will principally confine their ex-
hibts. In all, but especially in the Manu-
facturers' building the largest section will
undoubtedly be occupied by American ex-
hibitors. Hardly domestic industry but
will be represented there in one form or
another. Many of the exhibits will have
an historical as well as novel side.
Much interest will naturally be aroused
in the line OF practical decoration. Ap-
plications for space already received war

applied for space to compare their treas
ures side by side with some of the bright
red gold taken from California lodes.
Ornaments ranging from the costly gem to
the plain silver bracelet will be heaped up
in rich profusion-table silver, watches
and clocks, some of the latter of quaint
and fantastic design and others elaborate
inventions of some latter-day genius.
Manufacturers will be interested and
perhaps instructed In the varieties of heat
| ing apparatus-furnaces, boilers. stUyas
and ranges for factory as well as domestic
use. Applications of all the uses of gaso-
line and oil in beating processes will be
made. Associated with this department
will be the lighting appliances in vogue in
the different parts of the country. The
DEVELOPMENT of the rushlight and the can
die will be shown, but the electrical effects
| will be reserved for the outdoors display.

ties will be an easy matter to the visitor,

OF the LaplaDder and the cotton covering

into garments, or as wraps, will be shown
There will be the same profusion of
headgear. Light straw hats, heavy fur
caps, the felt and the silk coverings in
their variety are already arranged. The
evolution of the tile is to form the basis of
an original hat manufacturer. The collec-
tion will include the fashionable coverings
of 100 years ago. with all the important
notifications since that period.

turers' building can hardly fail 10 be in
