titled Learning to Play the Bagpipes."
Tanner is in Paris, where he has been for
several years, and he Is said to be doing good
work. Whether he had about forgotten that
the blood of the African runs through his
veins or not, the attendant at this exhibit
was unable to say. Piles of onions and po-
tatoes and a lot Of picture frames made
from paper are the principal objects in the cX-
hibit made by the Carrie Steel orphan home.
Carrie is an Atlanta woman who has done
noble work for the poor little ~cast-off orphans
OF her race. The onions and potatoes
represent the efforts of the boys to contribute
to their own livelihood, while the paper
frames show the first steps Of the little
girls in the development OF feminine tastes,

The coal resources of the south are shown
in several different places. In front of the
southern railway building stands on obelisk-
like pile Of soft coal, which bears the an
nOuncement that it is delivered in Atlanta
at 81 per ton" The central feature of the
minerals and forestry building is an obelisk
showing the product each minute Of mineral
resources Of the south. The base OF this is
a cube 12X12X12, which represents the amount
OF coal produced in the southern states each
minute Of the year. On top of this is a
smaller cube showing the amount of iron
ore produced in the same time. A big bar
rel labeled 1905 gallons" shows the amount
OF petroleum produced, and then in cubes
growing smaller. until the tiny ton one
