Never was the United States gov
eminent so deeply interested in an ex-
position as it is in this 1904 Worlds
Fair. Already the governments in
vestment has reached the 81 100000
mark. and this does not include the
Philippine expenditures, which were
paid out of the insular treasury. The
result is the greatest exhibit ever
made by Uncle Sam.
One of the interesting government
exhibits is the great map of the
United States, worked out in growing
crops, each state being represented
by crops chiefly grown in that state
This map covers six acres of ground.
One who has not seen the map may
have an idea of its immense size
when he is told that Illinois on this
crop map is IS feet long The bound
airy lines between the states are
gravel walks and the Worlds Fair
visitors stroll at will through the
states, and receive simultaneously
lesson in geography and agriculture.
The largest timepiece in the world
is at the Worlds Fair, and may be
seen on a slope on the north side of
Agriculture Hill. The dial of this
great clock is 112 feet in diameter.
The frame work is steel, of course,
but it is so covered with flowers that
it appears to have been built entirely
of flowers, and for that reason it is
popularity known as the floral clock >"
Germany's participation in this
Worlds Fair surpasses anything that

other international exposition. The

looking the Cascades, is a faithful
reproduction of the ancient castle

people are small of stature and their
bodies are covered with hair.
They are quite a different race from
the modern Japanese. Japan, indeed,
is in the front rank of nations at the
great Worlds Fair. The site selected
by Japan for her group of buildings
is one of the choicest allotted to for
eign nations, and the enterprising
japanese have made the most of their
advantages. On a high hill overlook
ing Machinery Palace workmen from
the Mikado's realm have built num-

ton of developing and perfecting such
flowers and plants as they cultivate.

Center of Lamb-Raising Industry.
Greeley, Colo, is becoming almost
as noted for its lamb, as for its po-
tato industry Shipments of young
lambs from Greeley to Eastern and
other markets, are now being made,
at the rate of from rs to 100 carloads
week. The experiment of feeding
lambs during the winter months on
a food composed, in large part of
sugar-beet pulp, from the many beet
sugar factories in that section of the
State, has been proved a success in
northern Colorado. Tens of thou
sands of sheep and lambs are now
being fed in that manner at Greeley,
Ft. Collins, Loyeland and elsewhere,
in the region referred to.

merry Lieutenant.
She was a dear little girl, and had
spent most of her life in a country
rectory. 1t was not surprising, there
fore, that her knowledge of things
maritime and warlike was not ex-
tensive.
The young gunnery officer of H. NJ.
S. -- had been showing her round
the battleship. It was the very first
warship of any kind she had ever
visited, and her mind was full of the
wonderful sights presented.
Being an industrious and a thor
ough young man, the gunnery lieu
tenant had explained very fully the
mechanism and the use of the tor
pedo in warfare.
She examined the long, deadly, CT
gar-shaped engine of war critically
and fearfully.
Then she tapped it with the point
of her parasol and let her glove run
over its FURNISHED side, and finally
paralyzed the gunnery officer with
the question:
How does the crew get inside?"-

More than a thousand native Filipi-
nos are living in the 40-acre Philip
pine tract at the Worlds Fair. Their
homes have been reproduced in ST.
Louis and they are counterparts of
those left behind in the Pacific archi-
pelago. The Filipino colony en-
braces representatives from many
tribes, and Americans and Europeans
will be interested in seeing the sub
jects that Uncle Sam acquired with
the Philippine islands, and in learn
ing Of their lives and habits.
Besides the native villages, the
Philippine commission, which has ex-
pended nearly $1.0OO.0OO on the exhi-
bit, has erected replicas of many of
the most famous buildings on the is
lands. Several bits of old Spanish
architecture are sure to delight all

Effect Of ROCKING Baby.

DR.. Manacoine, the famous Russian
authority on sleep phenomena, says
that rocking is an artificial method OF
inducing slumber. The process
fatigues consciousness by series Of
monotonous sensations and incidental
ly deprives the brain of its blood sup
ply. Absence of blood from the brain
makes sleep. The influence of the lul-
laby is Objectionable, but not equally
