#Tle finest exhibit of arms ever seen
4 9nerica, is in the manufacturers
#iding. You can see there the kind
#gnn used by the Japanese and
Ainese in the last war. Both were
S0d, but the Japs had the better
+apon-the same used by the Germa-
army. There you see the modern
bmunition, nickle steel bullets and
[okeless powder. At Fort McPber-
b not long ago one Of these bullets
ershot the target and killed mule
10 and half miles away. The bullet
BIS identified and the government
id for the mule. These bullets go
rough fifty inches Of wood at fifty
BIRDS. You see samples of this in the
Ehibit, also four inch steel armor
Rerced by six-pound projectiles from a
kotchklss rapid fregun, which is on
6hibition there.
There is near by commercial ex-
! bit which shows the greatness of our
mmerce 1t is by an importing house
Ebich trades with one hundred and

IOducts Of many. It has as curio a
Eruvian Inca's head, dried and re-
Fved of its bones. The hair is still
five long and black as jet. Among

I've have all heard of the cradle of
|emocrcy, but few have seen it. The
Eiginal cradle which rocked Thomas
Eferson is on exhibition in the For
Etry Building and the Government
buches for the authenticity Of the
Tory You can see the place in the t
de where the infant statemen cut
is teeth and in one corner he clipped /
