PAK-AMERIcAU EXPOSITION.

PAN-AMERICAU EXPOSITION.
 While "World's Propositions" are gotten up to boom some particulol city, they are beneficial in some re- spects, by the grouping of the prod ucts of the world, where vieitors can see them without travelling all over the world to ascertain what is being accomplished in the way of industrial progress. The cities were such expo sitions are held, and the visitors who attend them, are the principal benef- ciaries, and, as a rule, the outlying precincts" which furnish the material to be placed on exhibition rarely re- ceive compensation commensuratewith the expense. It furnishes means of advertising the resources of the coun- try, the question of results depending, like any other advertising, upon the advertisement meeting the eyes of persons wanting the thing advertised.
 The first year of the new century will witness one of these great exposi- / tions at Buffalo, New York, which opens May list, and remains open till November. A bill is now before the territorial legislature to appropriate $500 for an exhibit from this terri tory. This exposition furnishes as good an opportunity as any of these great world shows for this county to make an exhibit of specimens of her mineral wealth, and a move ment has already been inau- gurated for that purpose. The time for collecting and placing in position such an exhibit is very short a little over two months, and if any thing is expected to be done quick ac- tion is necessary.
 The exposition promises to be on a magnificent scale, and will no doubt be attended by thousands of visitors. Some of its expected attractions are described in the following article sent out by officials of the exposition:
 ''The mammoth architectural works will surpass in grandeur and graceful proportions anything witnessed at the Philadelphia centennial, or the worlds fair at Chicago. Its sparkling foun- tains, placid pools aad lakelets, and gorgeous landscapes brilliant with color and embowered with flowers and foliage will be a dreamland for fairies.
 "A grand object of the exposition will be to illustrate the progress of civilization in the western hemisphere, and unite in closer bond of friend ship and business interests all the American republics and Canada.
 'To encourage this great enterprise congress, on tie Sd of March, 1899, appropriated half a million dollars. The state of New York has appropri- ated three hundred thousand dollars. The city of Buffalo has committed itself to the expenditure of two and one half millions. The Republic of Mexico and nearly all the South American republics have made suita- ble appropriation, and they will all be 1 represented, each with its commodi- ties and peculiar industries at the ex- position.
 ''The most eminent architects, dec orators and painters in the world have been employed to design the many buildings necessary to the great dis play, and an army of mechanics and artisans and laborers has been em- ployed for months getting everything in shape for the opening day.
 "A beautiful park of $50 acres of land in the northern part of the city of Buffalo, surrounded by perfect trans portation facilities, has been dedica- ted to the uses of the exposition. From this park 300 miles of electric car lines extend to all parts of the city and suburbs, all of which can be reached with five cent fare.
 ''The Great Falls of Niagara are only thirty minutes ride from the ex- position grounds, and they have been harnessed to supply power for this great occasion.
 "The temple for electrical display will probably surpass anything ever before attempted in the history of the world. Every known electric device of importance yet discovered will be displayed and the illuminations of variegated lights will surpass in bril- liance the interior of the fabled caves under the sea-"
