The exhibit of the weather bureau is of especial interest to meteorolo- gists. A 15-foot m0del-one-ffth the actual size-of a tower used to display signals along the coast of the Atlantic, gulf and great lakes is shown. This tower is not used in all cases, but only where the circumstances are such that fagpoles cannot be placed in positions of sufficient prominence. The actual towers are 75 feet in height and made of galvanized steel. On these towers are displayed storm signals, flags by day and lanterns by night, when a storm is expected. Only in case of the probability of heavy winds is the sig nal raised. In Buffalo the ''qualifying velocity" is 42 miles an hour.
 Another interesting feature of this exhibit is plaster paris chart show ing topography. The chart is sec tion of globe and is so made as to represent the altitude above sea level on it's surface. Lines showing the mean annual temperature are drawn across the map. The annual rainfall is also shown, the coloring of the map marking the amount of rainfall. A sef-recording rain gauge of the new est type is another most interesting feature.
 An exhibit of kites is also seen. These kites have been used in scien- tific demonstrations of the condi ii ons of the upper air, recording relative humidity, temperature and pressure. Prof. Willis Moore is in charge of this exhibit.
 The forestry division contains much that is interesting. The exhibit con- sists mainly of a photographic collec- tion illustrating the relation of agri- culture to forestry, supplemented by maps and sections of commercial tim Der trees from the Appalachian noun tain region. The photogra phic display embodies 60 framed bromide prints larged from photographs, together with 20 colored and uncolored trans. parencies. The subjects illustrated by bromides and transparencies com prise, briefly, the various methods of

botany; the division of forestry, and the weather bureau.
 The scientific agriculturist finds something of interest in every divi- sion, and the whole exhibit is con- stantly thronged with visitors, but it is to two or three divisions that the sion of chemistry, which contains many things interesting, and of which we have already spoken, the exhibit of the bureau of animal industry attracts great attention.
 One of the great objects of the gov ernment in maintaining this division of the agricultural department is to control and prevent the spread of con- tagious diseases among our farm ami mals, and this feature is we'll illus trated at the exposition. Every possi- ble means have been employed to il- lustrate to those intere sted the .symp- toms of the different diseases and the methods of cure and the prevention of spread of the contagion.
 Still another feature of interest is the illustration by photographs of the inspection of animals intended for LULU 1oI elCAer uolne ConSunp ptlon or export. Could the people of Europe but view these photographs they would see how senseless is their cry against American meat products.
 The dairy industry is illustrated by maps, charts, photographs and mod els. The exhibit includes collection of models showing the great variety of forms and kinds of cheese made in Europe; variety of packages, foreign and domestic, showing the different ways of preparing dairy products for market, and a collection of material showing methods of utilizing the by model of a creamery is also shown.

Especial Buffalo Correspondence.1

Especial Buffalo Correspondence.1
 "HE exhibit of the United States
 department of agriculture in
 the Government building of the Pan-American is very comprehensive While it is of especial interest to the farmer, it appeals also to the scientist. There are more divisions and bureaus in the department of agriculture than in any other connected with the gov ernment. Many of the men who are at the head of these bureaus are grad uates of the best technical schools in the country and have received degrees from the most noted universities in this country and in Europe. Several of these bureau chiefs were asked by the secretary of agriculture to give especial attention to the selection of the exhibit to be made at the Pan American exposition on account of the fact that people from every part Of this hemisphere were expected to visit Buffalo during the summer of 1901. The result is the exhibit is exception ally thorough.
 The importance of the exhibit in the division of chemistry in this depart ment can hardly be estimated. In this exhibit are shown pure foods and food adulterants. There are displayed in an attractiev form the principal man ufactured foods in a state of purity. Each of the exhibits is accompanied by analytical data showing the com position and nutritive value of the sample. In connection with these are illustrated the principal adulterated forms of these foods, accompanied with a statement showing the nature of the adulterant and the amount thereof contained in a given quantity of food. The principal adulterants em- ployed are illustrated in bulk, with statements showing their properties
The weekly examiner., 1901-07-27

and the dangers of their indiscrim- mate use. The principal adulterants illustrated are preservatives and col bring matters, and in connection with coIoring matters skeins of white silk are shown colored with the dyes ex- tracted from food products. This ex- hibit is not only typical of manufac- tured and adulterated foods, but also educational in showing the character of these foods and their value as nu- trients.
 An Illustration of the beet sugar in dustry of the United States is given. A large map shows by shaded areas the parts of the country best suited to the growth of sugar beets with high content of sugar. This map also shows the locations of existing sugar facto- ries, as we'll as the locations of those which are in process of building or projected. The exhibit consists of samples of products from the various factories of the United States, show ing all products, from the perfect beet to refined sugar. An illustration is also given of the byproducts used for cattle food and the various forms in which the refuse of the beet factories is employed for that purpose.
 Statistics in convenient tabular form are shown representing the pos abilities of the industry and it's pres ent magnitude. Photographs of all the leading beet sugar factories are exhibited, illustrating the methods of construction, field operations and fac tory progress. There are at the pres ent time 40 beet sugar factories in the United States, representing $15,OOO,- 900 of capital, and the output of sugar annually is about 100000 tons, worth $1o,O0O,o0o.
 Practically every section of the ag- ricultural department is represented in the exhibit at Buffalo. There is the bureau of animal indus try, including an elaborate dairy exhibit; the divi sion of soils; the division of vegetable physiology; the division of agrostolo- gy; the division of pomology; the di- vision of entomology;. the division of
