As we leave the Palace OF Forestry
let's stop to see those four footed by
draulic engineers from Canada = the
beavers. This Is an exposition of do
ing things and we nnd the beavers
busy. A cement tank Of water four
feet deep is divided by wire partitions
into four rooms. Upon a central plat
form above the water are displayed
specimens of their molar work. 1t is
BY far the most artistic gnawing dis
played by any exhibitor Here we have
together the raw material. the work

uct. The village consists Of eight or
ten residents, and the fair visitor may
learn the beavers trade If he may do
SO by observation, as the arrangement
admits of no secrecy. A swift stream
Of water flows into the tank from
big pipe, and the beavers enjoy the fre-
quent plunges into the clear depths like
so many small boys in the edge of a
cool lake. Unluckily there is no place
for the beaver to show his skill at dam
construction, but when we see what he
can do with bis white incisors, bis paws
and fiat tail we can take a few other
things on hearsay.
