government has appropriated vast
sums of money to help the dairyman in
his work. aud this Is indicative OF its
Importance as factor of the great
food problem of the world.
The territorial lines of the dairy belt
have long since been annihilated. A
few states and provinces In the east no
longer enjoy the exclusive distinction
OF being In the dairy sections. In the
Dairy building at the Exposition space
has already been asked for by Maine
and California. Manitoba and Texas.
The supposed disadvantages OF soil, wa
ter, climate and food In portions of
North America have largely been elim-
mated by the skillful dairyman, and to-
day splendid representatives OF dairy
animals are found wherever the whole
someness and nutritlve value OF milk
products are known.
Few people have any adequate con-
ception OF the present magnitude OF the
dairy Industry. In the United States
and Canada there Is one dairy COW to
every four persons. or 2o.o00.000 cows.
The annual milk production is esti-
mated at 5o.000.0o0. Add to this the
value OF dairy COWS, $3.50, 100000. and
we have $l.200.000.000. To this add
the investments in dairy appliances,
RAIOOOgH
600. 600 invested In this great industry
in the United States and Canada. The
great countries to the south of us, Cen
trail and South America, are eager for
American dairy products, and wits
more people from these countries visit
ing the Exposition In 1901 than have
visited the United States and Canada
in the past half century the great COM
mercial opportunity to exhibitors of
Dairy Products and Supplies needs no
further comment.
A large, beautiful building located
near the Agricultural building will be
devoted exclusively to Dairy Products
and Dairy Apparatus.
All the milk products Will be exhibit
cd in glass cases properly refrigerated
for the purpose OF maintaining as far
as possible the texture and quality of
the products on exhibition. Exhibitors
whose products form a portion of their
stnte or provincial displays will not be
charged for exhibit space. but indi-
vIdual exhibitors Will be charged $3.50
per square foot for space occupied.
The exhibit OF Dairy Appliances will
embody all the recent inventions and
improvements made In this industry,
Including sterilizers. pasteurlzers, sepa-
rators. coolers, churns, etc.
Electric power will be furnished In
the building should exhibitors desire to
demonstrate the work of their ma
chimes for the benefit of the visitors.

be selective one and in point OF at

nnne nereIonment.

The Department OF Ethnology at the
Pan-American Exposition will include
a vast museum OF archaeological treas
urcs by which the development of the
races. particularly in America, may be
traced. The Americas have proved to
be rich fields which the students have
neglected. Rude implements and ves-
sells made by the mound builders, the
Aztecs or the Incas many centuries
ago and brought to light only in recent
years will serve to Introduce the first
Americans to those OF the present day.
A rare opportunity will be given to
study the progress OF man In labor and
Invention by means of these priceless
exhibits

EXPOSITION SCULPTURE.

Pnn-AmerIcun Has the best BveF
Seen at n show.
In its sculptural adornment, as we'll
as In several other respects, the Pan
American Exposition will far surpass
any enterprise OF the kind ever held.
There are over 125 splendid original
groups, and they are to be used around
the Court of Fountains, the Esplanade
and the Electric Tower. They will
symbolic the purposes of the build
ings and exhibits and bring out the
poetry In what to many may seem eX-
ceedingly pTosaic things.
After crossing the Triumphal Bridge,
which is the grand formal entrance to
the main court and is itself to be dec
GRATED with splendid statuary, one will
see to the right and left, at opposite
ends OF the Esplanade, the fountains
and the sunken gardens In front OF the
United States Government and Horh-
culture buildings respectively.
The Fountain OF Man, by Charles
Crafty, Is the central fountain at the
east OF the Esplanade, and 1t is hanked
by the Fountain of Prometheus and
the Fountain of Hercules. Tho sub
jects of other fountains in this group
will be the Savage Age, the Despotic
Age and the Age of Enlightenment. At
the other end OF the Esplanade the
Fountain of Nature, by George II.
Brewster, is the most elaborate sculp-
tural adornment, and the idea of this
fountain is ampli6ed in minor ones,
such as the Fountain OF Kronos, Foun-
tain of Ceres and the groups typifying
Mineral Wealth. Animal Wealth. etc.
These symbolic ideas will be worked
out in beautiful forms In other parts OF
the main court and in connection with
the Electric Tower and other buildings,
the whole forming a most complete and
harmonious expression of the purposes
of great Exposition, such as the Pan
American.
