Somebody has been rObbing birds
nests in Pennsylvania, and here IS the
loot, but since ii was done in the in
terest of education the offenSe is some
what mitigated. Nests. eggs and all
have been brought TO the worlds fair,
and in the Pennsylvania section of the
Palace of Agriculture you may see
them. Bird lovers Will find here
chance TO improve their acquaintance
with the sOngsters of the fields and
groves, the hills and shady glens.
Here is the huge white egg of the big
bald eagle, and here, too, are the Wee
white eggs, almost transparent, of the
humming bird. If you have bit of
curiosity about the eggs of the wild
birds and fowls or the nests they build
you will fly at once to these interest
ing cases on entering the Agriculture
building. Tobacco is exploited as one
of the great money making crops of
the state. but q pretty show is made
of all the common wild animals, the
trees and nuts. the wool and other
familiar things of rural Pennsylvania.
a great number of farm scenes in
revolving racks enable one to make
sightseeing tour of the state in a few
moments.

Just TO get a glimpse of the Russian
sable skins. a little bigger than your
hand and worth $50 apiece. it IS worth
ones while TO stop in the Alaskan
building. The sable skins are put away
in q burglar proof safe every night and
jealousy guarded by day-sO untrust-
worthy Is the miscellaneous public.
The big polar bear skin rug on the
wall is priced at $500, but of course
not for sale. The silver gray fox ski
is almost worth its weight in gold. and
the Siberian wolf skin. from the Aleu-
tan islands. is valued at five double
eagles. The kadiak is the largest of
all bears; in fact, one of the largest
Of existing animals. To tell just how
one of the kadiak skins happened TO
be here would make a thrilling nara
tive, for they are not animals of do
Gle nature. The whitest of white
things is Il white fox skin. They are
not of great value, but have genuine
beauty. The only valuable fur bearing
animal missing from the Alaskan col
lection is the sea otter. now rare and
elusive creature, seldom taken even
in Alaska.

One must keep nOticin' all the time
at the worlds fair or he will miss
many a good thing that he would
have wished to see. But the brain
becomes dull with much seeing, and
often the eyes refuse to look
What's a that" asked a lank
farmer. looking at huge wall decora-
ton in the great pagoda of corn erect
ed by Missouri
W. that's a hawg-been afeedin'
'em for thirty years an don't know
a hawg" replied his wife banteringly.
1t was a corn "hawg"-if not a corn
fed hog, in all the colors of corn from
white TO black.
Wherever Missouri shines she shines
brilliantly. She sets the pace for
nearly all the states in nearly all the
great buildings of the big exposition.
The corn pagOda is but one, and here
the visitor may sit and study corn in
all It's varieties as well as In all its
decorative possibilities. Missouri has
just taken first place as a corn state,
and this pagoda may be regarded rs a
temple erected to celebrate that
achievement. l may add that in TAX
ing first place as corn producing
state the distinction belongs almost
entirely to the northern half OF the
state where most of the corn is pro-
duced. The magnificent corn exhibit
is thoroughly representative, too, as
the selections were made from loca!
corn exhibits and prize contests held
last fall in every corn county of the
state.
