The kiosk will also contain the offices of the Porto Rican commissioners, and it will be general headquarters for in- formation concerning the country.
 The Island will have 1, 200 square feet of space in the Agriculture building and the same space in the Horticulture building for exhibits.
 Most of the space allotted to the Is land in the Agriculture building will be occupied by comprehensive exhibit of sugar, coffee and tobacco in various stages of growth and manufacture.
 Nearly every species of plants and trees of the Island which will bear transportation will be sent to Buffalo.
 Besides everything produced and manufactured on the Island, instruct i've tables of information have been prepared which will be invaluable to agriculturists and others intending to invest in Porto Rico.

AGRICULTURE.
HOW TT WILL BE REPRESENTED AT THE PAN-AMERICAN.

The Most Elaborate Display of All
 Embracing Every Product of the Farm and Articles Manufactured TherefrOm.
 Since prehistoric times agriculture has been the most important industry in all American countries. In the United States about one-half of the population is now engaged in some oc- equation connected with the cultivation of the soil. With proper consideration of these vast and growing interests, the managers of the Pan-American have dedicated more than half of the Exposition space to the products of the farm and the many articles manu- factured therefrom.
 The Agricultural building is one Of the largest and handsomest on the grounds, while the Dairy building, with its contents, is fair in itself. Sixteen separate buildings are devoted to live stock besides a model stable that is practically and scientifically in advance of anything so far attempted.
 Besides all this, one-quarter of the great Liberal Arts building is devoted to food products, and many of the ex- hibits in other parts of the building may be traced directly or indirectly to the soil. ..-
 The Stadium with it's one-quarter mile track will be devoted at certain times to the exhibition of live stock, including many kinds of animals not generally considered in the latitude of Buffalo as belonging to the farm.
 One of the most elaborate Horticul- tural buildings ever planned stands in conspicuous section of the grounds, which will be stocked with such a lux urious assortment of fruits from every section of North and South American countries as to easily outclass any for mer attempt in this direction.
 Forestry is represented in a charac- teristic building, built of logs, which is in itself typical of natures spontaneous outgrowth for the preservation and con- servation of moisture. Exhibits con- tained in this odd structure will show how subtle is the connection between successful farming and a proper forest preserve.
 In the windmill section will be shown many varieties of the latest and best samples of this useful power generator, together with useful applications of this inexpensive energy to the relief and profit of the farmer in many branches of agricultural business.
 We now come to the Machinery and Transportation building, which is 500 feet long by $50 feet in width, every

AN ANNUAL LYNCHING.
Spanish and Portuguese Sailors Exc. cute a Dummy of Judas IscarfOt
 on Good Friday.

Judas Iscariot was lynched in sev- eral old world places during the recent Passion tide season. This is in accord ance with curious and remarkable custom that prevails in Spain and Por- tugal, and which is observed in London and other British ports by the sailors of those nationalities whose ships hap pen to be in those waters at the time.
 A dummy figure is made of 8 man supposed to represent the betrayer of Christ. This effigy, which is stuffed with straw, is allowed to remain prac- tically unheeded on the deck until after the sailors have attended morn ing service; but no sooner are the de- votions closed than the peace of Judas is at an end.
 With one accord the seamen rush to where the unconscious dummy lies, the first to reach it seizing it roughly and stamping and splitting upon it until it is wrenched from his grasp by one of his fellows, who subjects it to similar

TESTING THE SEEDS.
EXPERIMENTS TO BE MADE AT THE
 PAN-AMERlCAN.

Exhibit of the Division of Botany of
 the United States Department of
 Horticulture Will Deeply Interest the Agricu1turists.
 The progressive agriculturist will De interested in the exhibit of the Di- vision of Botany of the United States Department of Agriculture at the Pan- American Exposition, as it relates to one of the first essentials of his call ing. The exhibit will be restricted to only one of the numerous lines of work conducted by the Division of Botany namely, pure seed investigations. It will represent the work of the Seed Laboratory at the Department of Agri- culture, where samples of all seeds dis tributed by the Government are now carefully tested for purity, germina- bflity, andsfreedom from seeds of nox- ious weeds. .a
 Thousands of samples from farmers and seedsmen in all parts of the coun- try are also tested at this laboratory. The work is of special interest to farm CTS, gardeners, seedsmen and experi- ment station workers, to whom the sub- ject of pure seeds is of vital impor- tance. ...U
 The Seed Laboratory of the Depart ment of Agriculture is we'll recognized as the most important seed testing sta- ton in America. It's methods, stand ards and most important pieces of ap- paratus have been adopted for seed testing at many of the State Experi- ment stations. The methods now in use and many of the instruments and larger pieces of apparatus have been devised and perfected by the men in charge to meet the necessities of the work.
 On entering the space devoted to this exhibit at the left of the main aisle one sees first in glass case purity separating table with magnifying glass, forceps and other tools used by experts in separating sample of commercial seed into it's component parts of pure seed, chaff, sand and other foreign matter and weed seeds. Next Is a pair of fine balances on which samples are weighed, all percentages in seed purity tests being based upon weight. Be yond the scales is a new combined mixer and sampler Tn this quantity of seeds is quickly mixed and sample of the desired amount delivered which will fairly represent the entire lot. One of the most attractive pieces of appa ratus used in purity testing is the blast impurity separator, which is also a new device. The air blast is furnished by modern blower driven by an electric
The weekly examiner., 1901-05-11

motor. Tle device itself, however, in which the separation of chaf and light CT impurities from seed is performed through the action of an air current, consists of a simple bent glass tube connected with receiver.
 Actual germination tests will be car ried on at the Exposition as in the Seed Laboratory at Washington. Com mercial seeds will be counted, arrang- ed in folded blue blotters, moistened and placed in the standard germinat- ing chamber, where they will be kept at fixed temperatures favorable to ger imitation. Check germination tests, such as are employed in conducting tests with many kinds of seeds, will be made in sterilized sand and soil in greenhouse flats" The number ger minating each day for definite period in each of the tests will be noted, and the percentage of germination thus computed.
 Many weeds the seeds of which are most frequently found as impurities in commercial seeds are represented by living plants labeled with the names by which they should be desig- mated by English speaking people wherever found. A unique feature Is an exhibit of seeds of many of these weeds and also several kinds of con- mercial seeds arranged under 40 mag nifying glasses accompanied by seeds of the same kinds in open dishes, so that one may readily compare the mag. nified impression with the actual seed and note differences and distinctive characters that would not appear to the unaided eye.
 The results and importance of seed testing are graphically represented by several groups of glass tubes contain ing different kinds of commercial seeds. These show the ordinary com mercial seed, the amount of pure seed true to name in the sample and the amount of inert matter, such as chaff, sticks and sand, the proportion of weed seeds, and finally the amount of germinable seeds true to name, as de- termined by test of similar sample and the proportion of waste. A compari- son of these last two indicates how much is often paid for waste in buy ing untested and poorly cleaned seeds.
 Commercial seed growing is shown by photographic illustrations of some of the largest seed farms in California, where the production of garden seeds has reached it's highest development in this country.

 American Exposition.
 The enterprise of Porto Rico is evi- denced by the preparations that are now being made for its participation in the Pan-American Exposition at Buffa- To next summer.
 The residents of this new possession of the United States are wide awake to the fact that their interests will be we'll served by a display of the Islands re- sources. An appropriation of $1O,O00 has been made for a building and an exhibit. The building, which will have a desirable location in the Court Of State and Foreign buildings, will be in the form of a kiosk, a one story struc- ture, with cupola, 55 feet in height. The building will be constructed en- tirely of native woods of all varieties, the floor being of hard wood tiling. It will be quite imposing, the, Moorish style of architecture being followed.
 In the kiosk will be shown the work of women, such as embroidery, drawn and lace work, etc., in which the wom- en of the Island excel There will also be coffee and cigar stand, where Por- to Rican coffee will be made and served by charming Porto Rican senoritas.

the higher places and deposits the or Impressions. A comparatively level field is thus reduced to series of ta- bles called water levels. These tables are then irrigated at intervals, as re- quired, during the growing season, as the water on ground thus prepared may be made to flow even in drill marks. r.es ..
 Underdraining is often a necessary accompaniment which adds consider ably to the expense, though, if proper ly done on suitable soil, the resultant crops may be doubled or even increas- ed threefold '.
 Another great improvement in spe- cific machinery is in facilities for han ding the great American corn crop in Its varied branches, kinds and grades. This has attained such degree of per lection that a crop that was once ma n1pulated entirely by manual labor is now in some places never touched by hand. from the planting of the seed to the weighing of the yield.
 1t would be difficult indeed to men, tion one item in a subject like this that would be of more general interest than others. The thousands, we might say millions, who visit the Exposition must each make their individual selection and follow where their inclination leads them. If they have time enough at their disposal, they will, no doubt, find what interests them most, and, no matter what it is, they will find it represented in manner that is at once comprehensive and valuable

The New England building in the Court of State and Foreign Buildings at the Pan-American Exposition re- minds one of fine old colonial man. sion- It's broad piazzas and terraces are typical of New England home of the Revolutionary period. The design is plain, yet rich. The building is 1O4 feet long by g feet wide. The walls are covered with staff, painted to rep resent red brick with white marble trimmings. The shields of the six New England States are placed in colors on the front, and there is a staff for each state flag. On the ground floor is large reception hall, nearly Al feet square, supported by four columns, and at the rear are colonial staircases leading in two directions from the first landing. On the right of the reception hall are the bureau of information, the coatroom and custodian's quarters. On the left are lounging and writing rooms, from which a beautiful view of that section of the Exposition is possi- ble. In both these rooms large colonial frep1aces are arranged, and the fur nishings are all in accordance with the colonial idea. The arrangement on this floor is simple, thoroughly conven- tent and withal decidedly in keeping with what the building will be used for. Up stairs there have been arrang- ed six large rooms. Each New Eng land State is allotted one, and it is used for rendezvous for people from that particular state.
 This building is located on a street.. or path, connecting directly with the Grand Court and is in almost as cen- tral position as the New York State building. It IS near the lake, in the midst of over 10000 transplanted shrubs and trees. The cost of the New England building was $15, 1000.

 The Midway of the Pan-American Exposition will have the choicest of the worlds amusement novelties. A visit to the different concessions will seem like peep into foreign countries, the representation of life will be so true. There will be a Trip to the Moon, Beautiful Orient, Colorado Gold Mine, Glass Factory, Scenic Railway and Rivers, Captive Balloon, Darkness and Dawn, Dreamland, War Cyc1orama, Around the World, Turpin's Panopti- con, Bostock's Wild Animal Show, Old Plantation, Cleopatra, Cineograph, Je- rusalem on the Morning of the Cruci- fixion, Diving Elks, Indian Congress, Old Nuremberg, Infant Incubator, Os- trich Farm, Venice in America, Nov ing Pictures, Thompson's Aerio-Cycle.

 The Midway covers an area of more than 40 acres. The cost of building 1t was $3,OO0,OOO. The amusement pal aces are set close together, and the long intervening distances which have wearied pleasure, seekers on other Mid ways will be agreeably lacking here. The concessions have a frontage of something over a mile. More than 50,- poo incandescent lamps will be used in the illumination of this amusement quarter. There will be 2,OOO lights up- on> the Thompson Aerio-Cycle, which will be operated by Niagara Falls pow CT. Such tempting amusement feast as has been provided for visitors to this Exposition has never before been seen. The wonderful Midway of the Pan-American Twentieth Century cele- bration is the continuation of colossal amusement enterprise.

foot of which is replete with elaborate decorations in both design and color. No machinery exhibit ever had such provision made for its reception, and no former collection in this line, wheth- CT farm or general, ever merited so much attention.
 This whole building will be alive with motion of every known variety-c1rcu- lar, oscillating, eompensating, cam, ec- centric ellipse, epicyclic and almost ev- cry other motion known in modern me chanics. Most of these intricacies will be found embodied in the different me- chanical movements that are instru- mental in Tightening the American farmers labor, thereby placing him at an advantage in his inevitable compe- tition with cheap labor in Europe.
 Machinery that is more intimately connected with farm work Is housed in the Stadium, as this structure alone affords sufficient room for the size and diversity of this exhibit. Floor space to the amount of 5OOOO square feet in this modern coliseum is provided with electric power for the purpose or driving the many agricultural ma chimes displayed in this building.
 Machinery is represented here that prepares the soil, sows the seed, culti- yates the growing plants, even to weed ing the hoe crop, and finally harvests the ripened product, separates the ker- nel from the stalk and divides the seeds into grades, as required.
 Eichens and mosses from the far North, hardy north temperate grains, fruits and roots, temperate American Indian corn, winter wheat and their al- lied products, as we'll as Southern rice, Kaffir corn, cotton and thousand oth- CT modern necessities, will all have their respective connecting mechanism in this elaborate ma chinery section that is destined to tell the story of our modern diversified country life in a much more eloquent manner than our vocabulary is capable of doing. Besides these general divi- sions, specific cases are carefully con- sidered Irrigation is such an impor- tant adjunct to modern farming, even in the sections that are not considered arid, that especial machinery is now in practical use that few years ago was never thought of.

The Approach. The work of gathering the exhibits is in progress. An active campaign is being made throughout the Island, and especially among the planters, for exhibits. While careful attention will be devoted to the collec- tion of exhibits to represent the manu- featuring interests of Cuba, the bulk of the exhibits will come from the country and will be collected so as to serve as inducements to those with limited capital who may desire to in- vest in Cuba. The exhibits will be the best ever collected in the Island and will entirely be representative of it's industries.

 The diversified and valuable re. sources of Cuba will be exhibited at the Pan-Amerfcan Exposition.
 A Cuban building has been erected in the Court of State and Foreign buildings, and, it is one of the most picturesque of this fine group. It's ar chftecture and materials are peculiar to the Island. The building is sur- mounted by the traditional Tower of Havana" and attracts the attention of all visitors. It has splendid view of the Park Lakes, The Approach, The Fore Court, The Triumphal Bridge and other parts of the Exposition.
 Among it's nearest neighbors is the Honduras building. which overlooks
