Although large amount Of space has
been set apart for the use Of the United
States ut the Paris Exposition, nearly
all Of It has already been taken up by
prominent American manufacturers.
at present there Is every Indication that
the number Of exhibitors from the
United states will not be less than
1000 and this will represent every
branch OF manufacture and art.
IL is quite impossible at this time to
ascertain just how the exhibits from
this country are to be divided, as the
printed lists furnished by the Amen-
can commissioner are somewhat vague.
Enough facts are given, however TO
show that almost every line Of busi-
ness followed In the United States viii
be well represented at Paris. OF the
number Of exhibitors who have already
taken space. LILO represent the purely
commercial branches, while the remain
Ing exhibits are divided among such
classlfcations as agriculture, mines,
litesature-whch includes the Amerl-
can periodicals, science and the fine
arts religious, charitable and other as
sOciations, and education, which will In
clude the exhibits OF the schools, col
leges, etc.
Prosaic as such q description may
seem the actual exhibits will be far
from uninteresting. for they viii In
clude almost everything in the range
OF human endeayOr 50 artistically ar
ranged as TO attract the immediate at
tenton OF even such blase individual
as the average Frenchman. When he
has walked through the American ex-
hibit he will have seen everything that
human being could possibly require
In his passage from the cradle 10 the
grave. There will be the food 20 feed
him, the beverages to satisfy his thirst.
He will see the clothing necessary for
every stage OF life and for every de-
gree Of temperature from the polar cir
Gle to the equator. II he desires amnse-
ment, education or opportunities for in
vestment he need 20 no further--in fact
he may buy everything from a stick
Of candy or plug OF tobacco TO burial
casket or a thousand horsepower mo-
tor. set OF false teeth or an incubator,
and II be does not see at the first
glance the article that he requires II
viii only be necessary for him to ask
for II.
Numerically the largest exhibits will
be those Of the manufacturers OF wines
and other liquors. For all time France
has held one OF the highest positions
among the makers OF wines, and II has
only been within the past few years
that anyone Of good taste has been
willing TO drink American made cham
pagnes and other yineous beverages.
OF late however, the public taste has
changed. az Is shown by the fact that
the total amount Of wine imported by
the United States In 1898 was less by
more than q million dollars than what
II has been for any one OF the previous
four or Ave years, while the exports
were correspondingly greater. 1t can
not be denied that these figures prove
concusively that there Is a growing
demand for American wines and the
wine manufacturers are satisfied that
the demand viii be increased many fold
by their exhibit at the great worlds
exhibition.
BREWERS TAKE SPACE.
In addition to the exhibit of wines.

that cannot be denied. He was a man
who was particularly sensitive TO criti-
clsm and the utterances Of the opposi-
ton press often inlamed his passions.
In spite OF this, however, he was most
magnanlmous and could bear no last
Ing resentment against any man. Even
those who nagged and attempted 10
thwart him during the days Of the war
he afterward helped TO positions OF
emolument and distinction.
Washington's mother was a great
trial 20 him, but he was a good son and
treated her most generously She was
far from refined In her appearance and
was much given 10 smoking a pipe and
gambling. In her the firmness that
characterized the son appeared as UNI
reasonable obstinacy, but he bore with
her and through experiences that must
have tried his soul he remained always
respectful, gentle and affeotionate.
Much has been said In regard to
Washington's unbelief In matters Of re-
liglon. but his position In relation to
spiritual things is one that Is easily ex-
planned. He was an unbelieyer, but he
was most tolerant OF the beliefs Of
others.

When one gives a moment 10 the con-
templation OF the wonders that have
been achieved by human inventors dur
ing the hundred years that have con-
stituted the nineteenth century, the
mind naturally reverts TO the telephone
and telegraph, for, Of all the Inventions
few have been OF more importance 70
the world. The progress In the matter
Of material speed has been immense
but how much greater has been the IN
crease In the speed In thoughts
one hundred years ago the means OF
communication between persons was
limited TO the crudest form Of mail SER
vice. Even penny postage was not IN
vented until the year 1870, when Row
land I'M introduced that system IN
England, and prior TO that time the
charge for postage was so large as
practically 20 restrict letter wiring.
Suddenly, however, man discovered
that there were wonderful uses TO which
electricity could be put, and from that
day the art OF communication has pro-
gressed by leaps and bounds.
II was In 1891 that Morse gave his
first model OF the present-day tele-
graph instrument TO the world. II was
a clumsy affair enough. The electro
magnets used In It's operation weighed
more than one hundred and eighty
pounds, the inventor being under the
deluslou that the wire used In winding
them must be OF the same size as that
Of the line itself.
The story OF the difficulties that be-
set Morse In his efforts 10 persuade
Congress 10 appropriate $4,000 to en-
able him 10 construct a trial line IL
matter Of national history. People
laughed at the invention and they de-
clared the inventor crazy.
The idea that space could be annihll-
ated In such a way was too preposter-
Gus 10 be credited for an instant In
spite Of all these discouragements,
however, the inventor persevered In his
work. and in 1874 the first message,
what hath God wrought was
flashed over the wire from Baltimore
10 Washington. The Inventor had
trlumphed and this advancement OF the
human race was made possible.

weighing less than a pound, had not
been dreamed Of When the first line
was opened II was with primitive sys-
tenn OF combined circuits, but In 1916
the idea of short circuits and relays
began 10 be developed.
Some idea a the immense growth OF
the Geographic industry during the
past half century can be gathered from
the fact that the receipts Of the first
line for the year 1886 were A,22S.T,
whereas to-day the Western Union
Company alone does BUSINESS Of some
twenty-three million dollars annually
and the Postal Company does nearly as
much, this representing a business Of
more than one hundred million mes
sages.
The thought that poles might pos
sibiy be dispensed with and that insu-
lated wire might be laid along the floor
Of the ocean was slow in suggesting
Itself, but finally Il did come. In 1851 a
submarine cable was laid from Dover
10 Calais.
II was at this time that Cyrus Field
evolved the idea that has given us the
great ocean cable system Of to-day.
