PARIS, France. July 25, 1900. The
giant university of the West that has
been so splendidly endowed by Mr..
Ro ckefeller has a most interesting ex-
hibit at Paris. showing features of uni
versity work and experimental seien-
tific apparatus Many Of the instru-
ments shown were invented by Prof.
Nicholson, and made in the Uniyer-
sity laboratory Among these lis an
apparatus for Analysing sound: a rul-
ing engine for drawing lines of great
aneness on metal machine for
measuring lengths and angles to the
accuracy of a wave length of light,
and several others Of interest to seien-
lists and specialists. University ex-
tension is picturesQuely expressed by
maps showing its great spread and
progress. A glance at these maps
will show that the work has been ex-
tended from Western Pennsylvania to
the Hawaiian Islands. Foreign sa-
wants and educators are no little inn
pressed with the immensely and
growth of the Chicago University.
The British and American exhib-
itors at Paris are holding reunions
twice month in Paris, and are get
ting better acquainted with each 9TH
or at the festal board. Their last
dinner and smoking concert, as it is
called, was held at the Restaurant des
Palais Avenue de Suffen. These re-
unions of a people who speak the same
language. and the language which is
rapidly becoming the universal lam
guage, will no doubt have an effect to
strengthen friendship between the
many industrial representatives of the
two nations assembled Ia Paris. By
showing my card as the representative
OF your paper, secured admission last
week to the English pavilion. not
understanding the fact That it was
closed that day. The management is
in the habit Of closing it every rainy
day TO prevent tracking it with mud
and wetting it with the drippings
from umbrellas This building is one
of the most interesting of the pavil-
ions in the Rue DIES Nations. 1t is a

Hundreds of barrels of choice Amer
lean apples are part of the agricul-
tural exhibit Of the United States in
Paris. They are kept in cold storage.
Small lots are exhibited from day to
day in order to keep fresh supply in
the glass receptacles. French, Ger
man, Swiss and Italian fruit growers
are very much astonished at this dis
play The cold storage is especially
puzzling to them.
Chicago must be credited with the
daring and enterprise Of setting up an
American barber shop with American
barber chairs, ia the heart of Paris.
The shop is pot far short of an Amer
lean exhibit, although it is not with

eigners stand without and look on

can barber chair is much more elabo-
rate and luxurious than the little
stiff backed chairs in which French
men are accustomed to be shaved.
Another exhibit scarcely less inter-
esting is an American boot black,
with an improved chair and parapher-
MALTA for producing shine. His use
of two brushes and ribbon of cotton
producing brilliant polish astonishes
the natives He is doing thriving
business. and is perhaps the only ar
tist in Paris capable Of giving boots

The members of the jury on wines
had most sumptuous banquet last
week at the hotel Marguery. 1t was
given by Prince Galitzine, the fore
man Of the jury. The Partisan pa
pers call it Lucullus feast. Twenty
two different kinds of wines We're
served. The oldest was sherry Of
1854, and the youngest a Johannes
berg of 1863 The first wine served
was an Oporto, of 1915. 1t would
seem remarkable that this jury was
able to render verdict on the COM
parative merits of the wines after this
feast. The Russian Ambassador,
Prince Ouroussoff, presided and the
guests included prominent represent
atives in official life. The twenty
two times happy Americans present
were Mr.. Lee J. Vance, of New York,
and DR. II. w. Wiley, of Washington.
The dinner lasted from seven p. M.
until midnight A number of Amer
lean wines have been excluded from
competition on account of incorrect
names and labels in imitation Of
French trade marks.
There is rumor that the Car and
Czarina OF Russia will visit the Paris
Exposition early in September and
occupy a house that has been pur-
chased for them on the Champs Ely
sees.
