Central American EXpOSi-
tiOn Opens Today.
Five Republics and Other
Nations Represented.
Some Wonderful Displays Of Native
Products to Be Made.

Guatemala City, Guatemala, March IL.
The Central American Exposition, for
mally opened today, will remain open for
| the next four months
The first idea was To have an exhibit OF
nothing but CentralAmerican products. It
was soon seen that, though these five repub-
lies are extremely rich in raw material of
every kind, they could not expect TO at
tract the world by that alone, so the origi-
nal plan was modified so as To include n
general exposition of foreign goods as
well. This measure encountered opposi'
tion from many of the native artisans and
manufacturers VINO feared foreign compe-
tition in their respective lines, but, as it
was soon pointed out, native industries are
on very rudimentary state and much is
10 be learned from foreign lands, the
hackers OF the broader principle prevailed.
The Assembly voted over n million of
dollars for the buildings and contracts
were signed with French firm for the
main ediiice, which arrived several months
ago from Bordeaux and which is now in
fair way To be finished by the end of the
week. The frames of most of the build
ings are of iron and they are distributed
over "A surface of some twenty odd acres.
The grounds, including the Reforms Park,
cover an area of over eight hundred acres.
The Guatemala exhibit contains most of
the native products, but the same building
contains sections for Salvador, Costa Ricsl,
Honduras and Nicaragua. Special build
ings are occupied by exhibitors from
Germany France, the United States Italy,
Belgium and England. Numerous kiosks
have been erected for refreshments music
stands and for the service of the police.
Many thought,that machinery hall and
electrical exhibit would be superfluous,
but after considerable discussion the
government decided TO have them. This
was greatly due to the enlightened first
President and Senor Don Juan +. Ponci-
ano, whose knowlege of foreign languages,
extensive reading and sterling reputation
in the commercial world made him val
liable acquisition in the Provinces.
Ii was Senor Ponciano who did the
principal work of organization and who
also wrote the bylaws and no doubt had
he remained TO the end greater scope
would have been given to the fair and
large sums would have been saved
Among other important points con-
tanned in the regulations of the Exposi-
tion, approved by the goSernment, are
the sums set aside for prizes. The total /
amount is 500 900, and is to be con-
yeniently divided among the native and
foreign sections.

1t is commonly thought that appendicitis
Is invariably caused by grape seed or
some other seed becoming lodged in the
vermiform appendix, and as a consequence
people abstain from eating such fruits,
thus causing themselves undue anxiety
as to theirsdiet, and depriving themselves
Of a very essential part of it. The physi-
clan who makes this statement goes fur
ther and says that while it is possible
that the disease may rise from this popu-
arly-imagined cause such an occurrence
Is not at all common, but on the con-
trary, exceedingly rare He quotes another
wel-known physician as confirming his
view, after an experience extending over
"a number Of years. This physician has
performed many operations, and up to
the present time has never found a seed to
have been the cause of the trouble. He
points out that "A small piece of I'M
digested food may find its way into the
vermiform appendix if the neck issopen
wide enough to receive It, 1t may remain
there for years and cause no trouble, and
then again, it may bring on appendicitis
almost Immediately. Out of a large
number of cases treated for appendicitis,
only four per cent. were caused by foreign
matter becoming lodged in the vermiform
appendix. while from 10 to 20 per cent.
were owing TO concretions, and 60 to 80
per cent. recovered without being operated
upon.
