dERIcAN EXPOSITION AT BUFFALO
BY WILLIAM }. BUCHANAN, DYsesor-GenerAl
BY COURTESY OF GOLFERS WEEKLY. .

GTF THE people of the republics
EME and countries of Central and
SS1ssSs South America fully realized
eSssHszS to how great an extent misin-
formation with regard to their several
countries exists in the United States
and Canada, the Pan-American EXPOSE
ton would be taxed beyond its limit to
provide space for the exhibits that
would come from those countries to
enlighten the people of the United
States and Canada concerning their
neighbors to the southwark. If, on the
other hand, the people of the United
States and Canada knew to any ap-
preciable degree of the wide opportuni-
ties for the profitable investment of
money and energy which offer them
selves in Central and South America,
they would not require such exhibits
to awaken their interest, nor would
such opportunities long remain un-
known or unpossessed.
The object of the Exposition.
The ideal had in view by those who
planned the Pan-American Exposition
and toward the accomplishment of
which nothing is being left undone
that energy and effort can bring about
or suggest is that In all that apper-
tains to the Industrial and intellectual
development of the countries of the
Western Hemisphere the Pan-Ameri-
can Exposition shall occupy the posi-
ton of great International "Informa-
ton Clearing House." While interest
ing millions as a beautiful spectacle,
it will afford an opportunity to the
peoples of the three Americas to be-
come better acquainted with each 9th
err, and it will prove a very prominent
factor, too, in developing a proper and
just appreciation in each country of
the Industrial wants and trade posi-
bilities of their neghboring countries
of the Western Hemisphere.
While their view of the duty and
task imposed upon them in this regard
has been broad the generosity and pub
lie spirit of the promoters and man
agement of the Exposition in provid-
ing for the setting of the Exposition
a magnificent, fairylike spectacle in
landscape and building effects and in
arranging for the sumptuous, intellec
tual entertainment of visitors within
the grounds have been broader 1t is
safe, believe, to now risk the asser

INDIAN SIGNALS.
The Long Distance Code by Which

the Red Men Converted.
The traveller on the plains in the early
days soon learned the significance Of
the spires of smoke that he sometimes
saw rising from a distant ridge or hill
and that in turn he might see answer
ed from a different direction. 1t was
the signal talk of the Indians across
miles of intervening ground, a signal
used in rallying the warriors for an at
tack or warning them for a retreat
when that seemed advisable.
The Indian had a way of sending up
the smoke in rings or puffs, knowing
that such a smoke column would at
once be noticed and understood as a
signal and not taken for the smoke Of
some campfire. He made the rings by
covering the little fire with his blanket
for moment and then suddenly re-
moving the blanket and allowing the
smoke to ascend, when he instantly
covered the fire again. The column Of
ascending smoke rings said to every
Indian within 80 miles: "Look out.
There is an enemy near" Three

ger. One smoke merely meant atten-
ton. Two smokes meant Camp at
this place" Travel the plains, and the
usefulness of this long distance tele-
phone will quickly become apparent.
Sometimes at night the settler or
traveller saw fiery lines crossing the
sky, shooting up and falling, perhaps
taking direction diagonal to the line
of vision. He might guess that these
were the signals of Indians, but unless
he were an old timer he might not be
able to interpret the signals. The old
timer and the squaw man knew that
one fire arrow ian arrow prepared by
treating the head of the shaft with
gunpowder and fine BARK meant the
same as the column of smoke puffs-
viz, Gan enemy is near" Two arrows
meant Danger" Three arrows said
imperatively, "This danger is great"
Several arrows said, '~The enemy are
too many for ua." I've arrews sAs4 uR

diagonal direction said as plainly as
