the Pan-American Exposition has been by no
means unattended. Rubber clad. umbrella pro-
teced individuals Of both sexes have teen surpris-

They apparently keeny interested and utter
" disregardful OF the clements and seem TO come
not only from the adjacent towns and villages,
but from the four quarters Of the globe.
While the striking character Of the exhibits in
each OF the buildings causes them generally TO re-
ceive an equitable share of public attention. II

and LIBERAL Arts Building. perhaps because the eX-

rally appeals to them most.
Probably the first is the The depart
ment of foods and attendant subjects certainly has
a large share the attention OF visitors TO this
building.
The unique exhibit here of the Natural Food
Company, Of Niagara Falls. is fair exponent Of
the perfection which the science OF exhibition has
attained The booth itself is forty-three feet long
twelve feet deep and twenty feet high. Its archi-
lecture conforms generally TO the plan of the
position buildings. even to the adoption of that
part of Mr.. Turner's color scheme. 1t is in white
and gold and delicate neutral tints. In the panels
above the COrinthian columns are alternately
placed medaons one bearing the company's seal,

the animal exhibit and lectures thereon are added.
Here is demonstrated the company'S assertion. that
naturally organized food makes possible natural
conditions.
Even in the night time this live and telling ex-
hibit stands out from its fellows. for it has fol-
lowed also the electric light scheme of the expo
sition itself, from the three great Opaescent gold
trimmed arc lights pendant from the panelled cell
ing TO the four candle miniature lights that stud
the arches. There are three hundred electric bulbs
in all.
The salient feature Of the exhibit and one which
seemingly eXcites the greatest admiration, is
