There is nothing more interesting at
the Omaha Exposition, says Octave
Thanet than the wonderful food ex-
hibit made by the great food-bearing
States and by the railways passing
through them.
The Agricultural building, in which
the bulk of this exhibit is shown, is
decorated with a designed lavish an6
sumptuoUs richness of sculpture. 1t is
lavish as nature has been lavish, and
sumptuous as the autumn glory Of the
best The great arched entrance of tho
central pavilion opens into semi-cir-
cular vestibule, the three doors ofwhich
lead into the building. Broad bands of
fruit and waving grain form the mold
ings of the arch, and are surmounteG
by the generous and placid matron who
symbollzes agriculture, and by three
figures typifying aspects of plenty. The
pavilion itself shows fine groups
against the blue Nebraska sky those
on either side representing the zodiac
and the seasons, and the colossal CEN
trail group showing Prosperity, sup
ported by Integrity and Labor The
corners of the pavilion have smaller
but very spirited figures; and every
where are inscriptions for the most
part exceedingly happy applying to
agriculture and notable patrons of the
earth-tilers are carved upon the pam
els of the freize. The whole effect Is
that Of a careless luxury careless be-
cause so opulent.
Within all the marvellous ingenuity
which has made corn palaces has been
at work to deck the booths with every
conceivable arrangement of color,
every kind of mosaic in which grain
can be used for pigment and line.
There are queer pictures Of the old
fashioned farm and the new, of locomo-
tves and landscapes-alli in grain, anG
some of them pleasing as well as in
genius. A pretty device is the seed
howitzer and shells which Kansas Of
fers as peace ammunition for Cuba.
Samples. charts, statistics of all tho
principal grains and illustrations or
their cultivation make only part of
this gigantic exhibit. There is the
finished food product, the innumerable
fours and meals, the sugars and the
sugar beet has show of its own-an0
there is, also, the great exhibit of the
famous packers who, however, have
most of their exhibit in the manufac-
turers. Tea, coffees and spices are to
be found in the Agricultural building,
as we'll as chicory, hops, ETC., and to-
bacco is not neglected; while wool, cot
ton, lax and silk urge their own claims
to attention.
A very taking exhibit is that OF
farms and farm buildings, with it's
models and plans. The cotton belt has
a striking exhibit, as have the Rock

cereal artist of the cotton belt has built
two pictures of the Southwest as it was
