normal school. These are very well
executed in a harmonious color
scheme and will make a handsome
decoration. One book case will con-
tain a library Of educational works by
Minnesota authors.
The finish Of the woodwork Of the
booth will be brown Flemish oak,
and the effect will be substantial and
satisfactory. The expense of erecting
the booth has been $500, and this
provides housing for the exhibits Of
which the state may be justly proud.
The booth will be carpeted in soft
green cork carpet
An interesting point in connection
with the plan Of the exhibit is that
nothing is localized; all of the rural
school work is put In together; and
the same is true in the state high
school and other classes. In this way
a very impressive effect ofs unity has
been obtained. The written york is
not special exhibition work, burt that
of ordinary. classroom exercises, half
OF which were chosen for exhibition.

and Mrs. Hewitt, nee Carrie Christian,
Miss Susan Christian and a. man from
Nice, five in all. This road was built
by Napoleon and is one of the most
famous in the world. The view from
many parts of it is grand. The high
est point is 1890 feet above the sea!
and this elevation is reached in going
about six or seven miles. It is just
where this ascent begins, going from
Nice, that two fatal auto accidents
have occurred, one April 80, 1900, and
the other during the races last year
over this route on May 2.
Before reaching this point there is
long, straight, level road, at the end;
of which is the sharp turn to the left,
the road being cut from the rocky
mountain side. The grade is steep
and to gain momentum in both cases
deavoring to turn the drivers were;
thrown against the rock and killed.
Two tablets upon the rock record the
accidents They are not twenty feet
apart.
@ Wide Streets Not Needed.
III wish to say something of the width
Of our roadways at home. Since
coming here I am more than ever
convinced of the folly of our wide
paving on unimportant streets. There
are few roads here more than twenty
feet wide, and yet they are full of
traffic and many autos running at a
much higher speed than we ever in
dulge in at home. The city Of Nice is
just finishing an extension of the.
beautiful promenade des Anglais'',
along the sea front extending about
two miles to the race track and on the
road to Cannes. rS
This boulevard attracts all the auto
mobiles and carriages that are in the
cities adjacent, besides all of those Of,
the tourists, and during race season
naturally great throng. There was.
plenty of room to make it any width,
decided yet it is twenty-six feet wide.
from curb to curb and twenty-five

The entablature OF the booth has a
deep frieze that will be decorated with
a panorama of the university done In
bold and effect style in a harmonious
color scheme.
Within the booth, the space has
been divided into alcoves which give
the maximum of wall space and add
to the effect by making possible the
entire separation of the different
classes, each having its own alcove.
The exhibits are chiefly of four kinds,
specimens Of written work arranged In.
portfolios, drawings and specimens OF;
penmanship, mounted on large cards
and placed in swinging frames, thirty
two of which fill wall cabinet; pho
tographs mounted in such way as.
to supply fine decorative feature for
the alcoves; and the furnishings, pro-
vided by the manual training schools.

Genoa by rail to get my auto and
bring it back. Arriving there, it took
me one-half day to. find It. as 1t had
not been landed, but was floating
the barge to which 1t had been trans
ferred from the steamer. :. It seems
they had no right to land itsexcept by
way of the custom house, which,
with it's large square, is upon the har-
Dor. It was unloaded about noon, but
.custom-house and for the half dozen
italians with their crude tools to open
the case. Afterwards 1t was neces-
sary to push the auto out of /. the
sacred grounds Of the government into
the street. as I was not allowed to
bring any essence inside.
I deposited $50 duty on the auto,
which was returned when left at
the border, was charged duty upon
the extras, which could not possibly
be sold over here. as they were es-
:pecially for the Knox" and then
gallons of special oil which L had

in favor Of the protective policy until

duties, or when return and meet the

begin to wonder if it is not about time
to modify: our tariff laws.
My machine was towed to a garage,
and the next day Essence" was sup
piled and in the afternoon I took two
Italians, both automobiles, for a ride
about the city. They were pleased
with the performance and directed
me to the best points from which to
see Genoa at it's best. This is the
great commercial city Of Italy, and
has progressed rapidly in Importance
within the last few years. =
The Start for Nice.
The. next day Mr.. Leary of Atlanta,
Ga, who had accompanied me, and
myself started for Nice, leaving Genoa
at IL a. m. was strongly advised to
take "mecanicien'' with me, as they
foretold ~punctured tires and other bad
things for which I would need aid
In Genoa I was told to turn TO the

! reached Pegli,, six. miles, that Genoa
customs did not necessarily govern

A Beautiful Coast Road.

The entire southern Mediterranean
coast is mountainous and approaches
the sea In an imposing and COM
mand1ng manner. To give a. more
definite and concrete idea of it,. sup
posing We imagine Lake Minnetonka
to be the Mediterranean and that the
roadway follows the coast line instead
OF cutting across as with US. Then
imagine that the banks, instead Of be-
ing low and of rich soil, are abrupt
mountains of volcanic origin and that
the roadway: is formed by cutting it
out Of the mountain side. Thus upon
the land side rise the high and rocky
cliffs and toward theEs sea continuous
stone wall about; three feet high.
Wherever there is a bay or. harbor
there is a village or city which comes
down to the sea level and if large oc-
cupies not only the level place but
climbs up the mountain ~ side and
from its warm southern exposure
basks in the sun during these cold
winter months and looks out upon the
Mediterranean. That is, it does when
the sun shines. This winter has been
one Of the unusual ones - and we
have had many more days of cloud
and rain than of sunshine. AS I

1t will undoubtedly interest many to
know that American invention and en-
terprise were conspicuous upon the
streets Of these far away Portuguese
islands. One Of the first things to ar
rest our attention was an Oldsmobile,
which seemed as much at home In the
middle of the Atlantic and to do it's
duty as faithfully upon these strange
highways as If running over the abom-
Unable American - roads. Monday
morning early we sighted Gibralter
and landed there a little later. The
day was beautiful and all were glad to
avail themselves of the opportunity to
visit the fortress! and the handsome
gardens, filled with tropical plants and
flowers, many Of ! the latter . in full
bloom. The rock, the neutral ground,
the lazy Spaniard, have all been de-
burden. Leaving Gibraltar at 8
o'clock we soon entered the. Mediter-
ranean and steamed along the noun
famous coast of Spain, until we. en-
tered the Gulf Of Lion and headed for
Marseilles which was to bring my
journey to an end, altho my COM

IT,. In Old Marseilles. Ill
d We reached Marseilles about 3
o'clock and had time to- look about a
little before taking the train for Nice
to join my family. Marseilles is the
most important commercia1acity" upon
the Mediterranean. It is the great
southern port of France and its i'm
mense gray warehouses, several
stories high, reaching along the har-
Dor front for number of blocks,
make an impressive picture. These
buildings are old, all Of them. I did
not seen in Marseilles a structure that
looked as if it had been built within
the last quarter Of a century. They
are massive and fireproof in fact. II
is rare thing to have fire in these
cities of Europe, where nearly all OF
the buildings, including residences
are made Of stone with partition walls
Of stone and concrete floor. In Nice

told me that in the fifteen years that
he had lived there he had 81, never
known fire of any consequence

Of the frequent fires and large losses
in other cities, would it not be wise tc

ton, Messrs. Reed and Underhill, the
box was transferred from railway to
Steamer and was soon lowered to its
place, there to remain until Genoa
was reached. Beside it on the ship
was a 'Winton,'' also bound for
Genoa, belonging to Mr.. Cawthra Of
Toronto, who, with his agreeable
mother and sister, was also bound for

so thick was it that neither, shore
could be seen as we slowly steamed
out Of the harbor. The cold storm,
with its heavy sea, followed US with
persistency until the third day, when
we came within the influence Of the
Gulf stream. From that time until
I'VE landed we had a comparatively
pheasant passage. The voyage was
hlneventful. The ship was steady, and

the roadway was clear; many Of the
a assa were Of long duration, which
tests severely the power Of the engine.
Z We would climb up and up until
several hundred feet below us were
the never-ending waves dashing
against the rocky coast, and still sew
eral hundred feet above us lowered
the. mountain cliff which had been
cleft that we and all the world might
enjoy the marvellous panorama spread
out before us. Then, flying down with
engine disconnected and run only by
the gravity of the auto, while the en-
CINE connection was used as a brake,
the quaint old villages were rapidly
left behind. Five times we sped thru
short tunnels cut thru the solid rock.
Two of these are between Monte Carlo
and Nice. One Of them seems, as it
is approached, as if it were very long,
occasioned by a curve at point of en-
trance. 1t is probably about the length
OF one OF our blocks at home.
The Original Home of Soap. N
We reached savona, twenty five
miles away, for luncheon, and decided
to remain for the night. We were
told there that it is the place where
soap was first manufactured. It may
have been, but soap is furnished so
meagerly, or not at all, in all the fo-
tells, that one might think it was never
manufactured in this country at all.
The next day we ran by olive groves
and the terraced mountainside, and
reached Alassio for luncheon. This is
very nice place and is becoming quite
resort. There are many English and
some American residents-amon g the
latter Andrew D. White, who now has
a villa there. A few years ago this
place was badly Jared by an earth
quake. Many were killed and many
more injured. Still the survivors stay
on, and new people come, probably
thinking "itzwill not happen again., Il
In the afternoon we hurried on,
passed the interesting little cities glis-
| tening in the bright sunlight and en-
| joyed the unusual road, many times
| narrowing down thru the center of
the town, so that it seemed as if we
had taken the wrong way. The road
| was SO narrow that the people had to
step back into the doorways to give
US room to pass. A vigorous and con-
slant use of the horn was necessary
along good deal of the Journey While
the road was almost perfect, the dust
was something frightful. I never saw
dust before In one part of the trip
! the dust was so thick that it was not
possible to see twenty feet ahead, and
afraid of a collision, I sounded the
horn continuously and moved at q
snails pace, reminding us Of a. ship
in a fog. - - SO,
