ing of all. appear to be the various
races of white birds that fly through
that land of sunshine. Three speci-
mems of these snow-hued songsters are
exhibited, the "Eakee bountchie,
about the size of a sparrow; the 'Sprio
Hato," which is almost as large as
a partridge; and the ''Maku Jushi-
matu," that doesn't seem to be much
bigger than a snowflake. All of them
are absolutely unlocked by a single
trace Of darker hue.
Exhibits of the North Land.
The Swedish exhibit is devoted chief
" to a demonstration of the great
timber producing character of that
country. but it is presented so pictur-
esquely as to attract the attention of
everyone. The most conspicuous fea-
lures are large models of a great saw
mill on the coast of the kingdom,
showing the port, incoming lumber
banks, the mill, railway, wOrkmen's
homes, ETC., all very lifelike and nat
ural Another model represents a bit
of primeval Swedish forest, peopled
with its north-land birds.
Hollands exhibit almost exclusively
concerns her sea fisheries, illustrated
by admirable stage settings showing
the DeutScher fsher-folk in their typ
zeal costumes, going about their daily
occupations in their quaint way. Other
models give a perfect view of a big
establishment for sailing behring's at
Hardenijik, and Of an achovy pack
ing house at XOlendam. The ministry
/ of the interior also sends samples of
/ Dutch timber and specimens of the
! game birds of the little kingdom.
Hungary's exhibit is arranged to
show te wild and wierdly interesting
character of that country, with its
/ rich forests, through which stalk saw
age bear and timid deer, and its rapidly
rushing rivers filed with all varieties
| of fish An unusual feature of the
! Hungarian display is the facade en-
/ closing the exhibits. on which are hung
| enormous collections OF GntleTs and
antIered heads, lent for The occasion
| by such illustrious hunters as the En-
peror Francis Joseph, the Grand Duke
Joseph Augustus and Counts Fred
eric Weuckheim and Dvomis Almasy.
Canada Wins the Prize.
Our neighbor, Canada, is most
| WOrthily represented in the forestry
building. Indeed. from the collection
of precious or serviceable timbers sent,
Canada makes much the pest show of
all the competing countries. All
through the sections are to be seen
photographs of growing trees Of every
variety, and an odd appropriateness
consists in the fact that each separate
picture is framed in the wood of the
tree photographed. And not only by
prints is the Canadian lumber richness
shown, but by blocks, planks, slabs
and suitable bits of furniture con-
structed from the representative tim
Der. You are literally in a forest OF
wood whose redolent odors permeate
the whole space. Incidentally only
some fine specimens of Canadian bic
game are shown, wandering through
the virgin woods, or perched in the
branches of mammoth trees.
When the judges visited the forestry
building they, like every visitor. were
most impressed by Canada's timber
exhibit, and that country was awarded
the first prize for the forest products.
England's exhibit consists simply OF
implements of the chase and fishing;
Spain's of her wood and cord indus
try; Germany shows only an ordinary
collection of hunting guns; Austria
contents herself with an instructive
exposition of her forest and bird life
and Belgium shows nothing but col
ectiOn of dressed furs.
