retained between the cork and lead
lines, this being the widest part of the
seine, the middle, of course, resting on
the bottom; the men holding up the
sides or walls of the net standing so
close as to almost touch each other.
The water, which is about waist deep,
is churned into foam by the thousands
of struggling fish, held in this compar-
atively small enclosure, not over 60 feet
long by 20 feet wide, and it would seen,
that surely the climax of animal actiy-
ity had been reached. Nearly every
thing appears to be herring. but occa-
sionally larger fish are to be seen plung-
ing through the mass; these are shad.
A large lighter is brought alongside
the net, and the cork line thrown over
the rail. Four or five men, with short
dipnets, get inside the circle, and stand
ing on the seething mass of struggling
fish, commence to shovel them into the
scow. The fish beat merry tattoo on
the bottom Of the boat as they are
thrown in. Soon, however, the bottom
is covered and the pile rapidly deepens.
The fish on top are all Hopping vigor-
ously, displaying scene of the most
intense activity and bewildering the eye
to look upon it. The incessant patter of
such multitude of fish in their expir-
ing moments is unlike any other sound
ever heard. The shad are separated
from the herring, counted and put in
compartments to themselves, many of
them being splendid specimens.

ticular description nearly 100000 her

FORTUNE IN PEARLS.
How Sum Harris, the Pearl Kin8s
RevoIutionixed the Trade n
These Gems.

In the jewelry trade Samuel Harrfxa
an American, is known as the pearl
king. Although only 80 years old, he
has built up an immense business in the
pearl and pearl shell traffic, and his rep7
utation extends even to Europe. He ID
known in Tahiti and in the jewel MARI

dealing, his enterprise and his reliabiIii

rounded by diamond, is guarantees
of excellence. It is in the Society,"
islands that most of his pearls are gath-E
cred, and he began there as mereE
boy.
1t took years for him to induce thel
natives to trade fairly with him and toll
go extensively into the business of PEARL
gathering. He was a natural Judge OF
pearls, and his unerring Judgment In
valuing shells at last earned for him the:
respect of the natives. His dealings
with them was so fair that he finally
won their entire confidence. Alwaysan
admirer of pearls from an aesthetic and
romantic standpoint, he first began to
look at them in the light of commerce.
when he visited the Society islands and
found the gems in such common use.
Returning to California, he fitted out a
ship with cargo of knives, clothing,
fish hooks, etc., costing $4,000, and bar
tered these for $4,000 worth of pearls-
Since then he has gone back on similar
trips and returned with gems to San
Francisco. The cargoes which he took
to the natives were highly priced by the
latter, and even to-day they considers
themselves we'll paid by the exchanged
of pearls and pearl shells for articles of
greater use. !
Previous to four years ago the only
shells used in commerce for the manu.
facture of ornaments, etc., were of very
inferior quality. Harris has changed
all this, and now four excellent grades
are exported by him. He buys them I'M
bulk, and the prices range from 5000 to-
81, 200 a ton. He does his own buyingi
and can tell almost at a glance the value

These shells he ships by the thousand
tons each year all over the world.
He has revolutionized the pearl trade
of America. Formerly we only had an.
inferior article of pearl, but since Har,

finest in the world now come to us from

and Illinois state buildings.
The Legislature of Minnesota made
noappropriation for either this build
ing or other representation of the
state at the Exposition. Early in the
current year the attention of Gov.
Clough was brought to the fact that
Minnesota was likely to be the only
state west of the Mississippi river
which would not be represented in this
Exposition, and he proptly appointed
a commission of preventative citizens
to devise ways and means and to pre-
pare exhibits. This commission has
succeeded in raising nearly $50, 900
with which the building here shown
will be erected, and exhibits made in
the several departments of the Expo
sition. Minnesota will be represented
in the agricultural building with an
horticultural display, in the Mines and
Mining building, with a mining dis
play, and will have extensive exhibits
in the dairy department and in the
apiary department. A wool exhibit is
also in preparation and Minnesota is

MINNESOTA AT OMAHA.
The State Will Make Good Showing ct
Tran-Niississippi and International
81 Exposition. ~

We illustrate with this the Minneso-
ia Building at the Trans Mississippi s.
international Exposition, which began
at Omaha, June LIST, and continues until
December LIST. The building is one Of
the groop of state buildings, occupying
district on an elevation of ground,
overlooking the valley of Missouri. In
this groop of state buildings is includ-
ed New York. Kansas, Missouri. Mon
tana. Illinois. Nebraska, Colorado and
some other of the western states. The
Minnesota building differs materially
from all these structures and is likely
to prove one of the most unique and
attractive buildings on the ground.
Inc building has total length of Is
feet and q width of ~ feet, with YER
andah ~ feet wide all around it, maxi
ing the greatest length nearly 100 feet
and the greatest width 66 feet. The
building is not designed for exhibition
purposes, but is to be used as rendez-
vous for the Minnesota visitors to the
Exposition. On the first floor there is
spacious hallway 42x35 feet. In one
end is located the ladies' parlor, which
is 3Ox20 feet and which will be lastly
decorated and furnished daintily. It
will be favorite resting place for the
Minnesota ladies who visit the EXPOSE
ton. The corresponding room at the
other end of the building is to be
finished in the style of lum Der camp,
its walls hung with skins and decorat-
ed with trophies of the chase. wide
stairway leads to the second floor
where there are two corresponding
rooms. The second floor is surrounded
also by a verandah amply shaded by
the overhanging roof of the main
buildings.
The location of the Minnesota build
ing is one of the best on the ground.
1t is in close proximity to the horticul-
tural building and it is surrounded on
every side by floral exhibits. The
buildings IN the immediate vicinity, in
addition to the horticultural Hall are
