er the meeting of the board at which he

to be the only Colombian in st. Louis, and
is assistant secretary of the Reception and
Entertainment Committee of the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition Company, in the La
clede building.
Mr.: Prada yesterday received a copy of
the Zancundo, a Bogota newspaper. an
nouncng that the Colombian Government
will take part in the Worlds Fair not
withstandins the Panama incident, which
tnterfered with the original plans of Co
lombia to make an exhibit which would
be equal to that of any of the foreign
Governments, for which an appropriation
OF S5e0Oy0 was made.
The Bogota paper says that. while 1t is
too late to carry out the original plans for
the erection of pavilion and arranging
an exhibit on an extensive scale. the CO.
lombian Government will yet make a cred
liable display at the Worlds Fair, and
that Commissioners Doctor Santiago Cor
tez, Julio de Portocarrero and General
Francisco Vergara y Veiazco have been
instructed to arrange for the exhibit and
proceed at once to st. Louis and carry
out the arrangements.
exhibit from Colombia will prove inter-
esting, AID be an important part in the
general display to be made by foreign
Governments. He says that the Govern
ment museum at Bogota will doubtless
be drawn upon for MANY precious collec-
tons. especially the collection of emer-
aids from the celebrated MuZo mines.
The mineral exhibit generally, will he
says, be a feature of the exhibit. Fine
arts and artistic wood carving will also
be an Interesting factor
Mr.. Prada says that the feeling on ac-
count of the Panama matter is still in
tense throughout Colombia, but in decid-
ing to take part In the Worlds Fair, the
Colombian Government has evidently
taken a broad view of the situat tion and
holds only the administra tion of the
United States responsible for the isthmian
affair.
He says that the proposed exhibit by
the Colombian Government at the Worlds
Fair was never abandoned. but prepara-
tions were naturally seriously interfered
with by the Panama revolution. While
the time is short. Mr.. Prada believes that
a very creditable exhibit can yet be
made.
Mr.. Prada is n Colombian by birth. but
has lived in the United States fifteen
years He does not hesitate to say that
he believes a great injustice has been
done Colombia by President Roosevelt by
his action in the Panama matter.

which a workman on the Michigan build
ing was encouraged to make haste quick
ly yesterday by the boss. Being an Ameri-

What do you think am. a Microptera

Then they both laughed and the innocent
bystander asked what it was all about.
A workman explained that the men had
