The third section CT the exhibit of
the Chemistry Division will be illus
trative of the physical and chemical
constitution of the materials used in
the construction of roads. The impor
lance of good roads to the progress of
agriculture is universally admitted, and
the Secretary of Agriculture has lately
established in the Division of Chemis-
try a Road Material Laboratory.
The object of this work is to deter
mine by careful chemical and physical
tests the composition of the materials
best suited to the manufacture Of good
roads. The exhibit will consist of the
road materials en- bloc, together with
the results of artificial attrition. The
fine dust obtained by this process is
nodded into cubes under great pressure
and then subjected to the blows of a
small hammer until disintegrated. The
cubes of these materials will be eXhib-
tied, together with the fragments OBJ
tanned by their disaggregation under
blows of given magnitude. The chem
ical composition of these materials is
also carefully studied and will be
shown in appropriate tables.
From all these experiments the CO.
efficient of wear is calculated, thus
showing the utility Of the material in

american Exposition can hardly be eS-
imated. In this exhibit will be shown
bure foods and food adulterants.
There will be displayed in an attract
We form the principal typical manufac-
ured foods in a state of purity. Each
bf the exhibits will be accompanied by
analytical data showing the compost
ion and nutritive value of the sample.
N connection with these will be illus
rated the principal adulterated forms
bf these foods, accompanied with a
statement showing the nature of the
bdulterant and the amount thereof con-
Eained in a given quantity of food.
The principal adulterants employed
will also be illustrated in bulk with
statements showing their properties
and the dangers of their indiscriminate
use.
The principal adulterants illustrated
will be personalities and coloring mat
tiers, and in connection with cOlOring
matters skeins of white silk will be
shown colored with the dyes extracted
N from food products. This exhibit will
not only be typical of manufactured
and adulterated foods, but will also be
educational in showing the character
" of these foods and their value as nutri-
ents.
An illustration of the beet sugar in
dustry of the United States will be
given. A large map will show by shad-
ed areas the parts of the country best
suited to the growth of sugar beets
with a high content of sugar. This
map will also show the locations of eX-
listing sugar factories as well as the To-
cations of those which are in process of
building or projected.
The exhibit will consist of samples of
products from the various factories of
" the United States, showing all products
from the perfect beet to refined sugar.
An illustration will also be given of
the byproducts used for cattle food and
y the various forms in which the refuse
" of the beet factories is employed for
that purpose.
In conjunction with this exhibit will
be 4 complete representation of all the
apparatus employed for the analysis
of beets for determining their richness
in sugar and for the control Of the fac
tory operations.
This exhibit will be to 4 certain eX-
tent retrospective, showing the differ
ent forms of apparatus which have
been employed from time to time. 1t

it was the fact Of frequent parental

Honduras Building.

The Honduras building at the Pan.
American Exposition is located in the
western part Of the Court of State and
Foreign Buildings. 1t faces the ap-
proach and oyerlooks portion of Del
aware Park and the Lake. The build
ing is designed with an octagonal ro-
tunda surrounded with wide porches on
three sides and with pavilions on four
sides, the remaining side being occu-
pied by the kitchen and toilet rooms.
The central rotunda and two Of the pa
vilions are intended for exhibits of the

will also contain, however, all the lat
est improvements in forms of labora-
tory apparatus and appliances for the
study Of the sugar beet.
Statistics in a convenient tabular
form will also be shown representing
the possibilities of the industry and it's
present magnitude. Photographs Of all
the leading beet sugar factories will
be exhibited illustrating the methods
Of construction, field operations and
factory progress.
There are at the present time 40 beet
sugar factories in the United States,
representing S15,O0O,OOO of capital, and
the output Of sugar annually is about
100000 tons, worth $10,000,000.

Government Life Saving Station

The United States Government has
as one of it's exhibits at the Pan-Amer
lean Exposition a Life Saving Station,
with lifeboats and their appurtenances
and captain and crew of ten men, the
object being to show the methods en-
pIoyed in the saving of life along the
coasts.
The Life Saving Station is situated
on the north shore of the Park Lake,
near the southern entrance to the EX
position grounds. It is in the form Of
an L, the main part being go feet 6
inches by % feet, and the wing, which
faces the water, being 81 by IA feet.
The structure is two stories high and
is surmounted by a tower II feet
square and rising to height Of 60 feet
above the water. The style of architec-
ture is the Spanish renaissance, the
walls being covered with staff and
highly colored.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies Deafness is caused by
an inffamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
infamed you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the int1a ma
tion can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be de-
strOyed forever; nine out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Hal's Catarrh Cure. Send

Primitive American Bell.

It is probable that the famous ole
bell of the Catholic church at Kaskas-
kia, Ills, will be one of the most inter
esting historical relics which will be
exhibited at the st. Louis Worlds fair
in 1908. This bell was the first whose
musical tones were heard in the Missis-
sippi valley, and for many years more
than a century it announced the hours
of worship to the devout residents Of
old Kaskaskia.
It was cast in France in the year
1741 and in 1742 was presented to the
infant church in America by King
Louis XIV. It is now cracked and
weather beaten, the French and Latin
inscriptions with which it was deco
rated are barely discernible, and it has
long since been replaced by a larger
belI.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Th.D,.tofoc Ocean.

A dusty" ocean highway sounds d. most incredible. Yet those who are familiar with sailing ships know that DO matter how carefully the decks may be washed down In the morning and how little work of any kind may be ione during the day nevertheless if the decks are not swept at nightfall un enormous quantity of dust will quickly ,ollect. or course on the modern liner the burning of hundreds of tons 1f coal every 2i hours and the myriads of footballs daily would account for a considerable accumulation of dust, but on a wind hammer" manned with a dozen hands or less. no such dust pro iuclng agencies are at work. And yet .he records of sailing ships show that they collect more sea dust than does a steamer. which Is probably accounted tor by the fact that while the dust laden smoke blows clear of the steamer the large area of canvas spread by the saller acts as a dust collector.-Mari' ner.

The cook felt the same way, but she wanted Co keep her place for the winter Before going down cellar Mir. Bowser unwrapped the extinguish- CT and explained what it was charged with and how lt worked. He also gave brief history of the great Chicago Are. which might have been prevented by a cool man and an extlnguisher.
