The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1900-08-19

! amazing of all appear 10 be the various
races OF white birds that fly through that
| land of sunshine. Three specimens of
these snow-hued sonssters are exhibited,
/ the "Hakee hountChie." about the size of
sparrow; the "Spiro Hato.' which is
almost as large as a partridge; and the
"Maku Jushimatu," 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 Lands.
The Swedish exhibit IS devoted chiefly
to a demonstration of the great timber
| producing character of that country. but
| it is presented so picturesque as to at
tract the attention of every one. The
most conspicuous features are large mod
els of a great saw mill on the coast of
the kingdom, showing the port. incoming
lumber banks, the mill, railway, work
| mems homes etc, all very lifelke and
natural. Another model represents a bit
of primeval Swedish forest people with
its north-land birds.
Hollands exhibit almost exclusively
concerns her sea-fsheries, illustrated by
admirable stage-settngs showing the
Dutch fsher-folk in their typical cos
tunes, going about their daily occupations
in their quaint way. Other models give
a perfect view of a big establishment for
sailing herrings at Hartlernijik, and of
an anchovy- packing house at Nolendam.
The ministry of the interior also sends
samples of Dutch timber, and specimens
of the gameIbirds of the little kingdam.
Hungary's exhibit is arranged to show
the wild and werdly interesting charac-
ter of that country. with its rich forests,
through which stalk savage bear and tim
i'd deer, and it's rapidly rushing rivers
filed with all varieties of fish. An UNI
usual feature of the Hungarian display
is the facade enclosing the exhibits, on
which are hung enormous collections of
antlers, and antlered collections of ant
lers, and antlered heads, lent for the oc-
casion by such illustrious hunters as the
Emperor Francis Joseph. the Grand Duke
Joseph Augustus, and Counts Frederic
Weuckheim and Dyomis Amasy.
Our neighbor, Canada. is most worthily
represented in the Forestry building. In
deed from the collection of precious or
serviceable timbers sent, Canada makes
much the best show of all the competing
countries. All through in the section 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 DOCKS, pIankS, SLABS, ana suitable DTS
of furniture constructed from the repre-
sentative timber. You are literally in a
forest of wood, whose redolent odors per-
meate the whole place. incidentally only,
some fine specimens of Canadian big game
are shown. wandering through the virgin
woods, or perched in the branches of man.
moth trees.
When the judges visited the Forestry
building they, like every visitor were
most impressed by Canadas timber ex-
hibit and that country was awarded the
first prize for the forest products
Englands exhibit consists simply of i'm
plements of the chase and fishing; Spain's
of her wood and cork industry; Germany
shows only an ordinary collection of hunt
ing guns; Austria contents herself with an
instructive exposition of her forest and
bird life; and Belgium shows nothing but
a collection of dressed furs.
