 Another interesting feature Of he exhibit is working model of a gray

 trating the type and size of docks al l Valious navy yards. The model Of the dock and basin occupies space 30x9 feet. In connection with the dock is a tank filled with water representing
 a basin or karbor in which a model of the |. s. s. Illinois will be foatec each day and the process of docking a snip will be shown in detail. The hood gases of the dock will be opened nIliAg the dcck with water, the caisson Heated out of position, the ship hauled ]

 The Unitel States Naval academy at Annapolis, Md, where CUT future off cers of the navy, the midshipmen. re- ceive their training and for which con- gross appropriated S10,000,000. Is re- produced in miniature at the scale of 1-32 Of an inch to the foot This model is 12x6 feet and shows the entire layout of the grounds, buildings, roads, paths, water front, etc, and gives careful expression of the general character Of the buildings. The finer details of carving, decoration, mould ing, stone courses, etc, displaying in detail the real architectural character Of the buildings, is shown by another model Ia. ger in scale of the new chapel or auditorium, which is one of
 he principal buildings of the group. These two models give an accurate representation of the whole work and oI the work in detail.

It is indeed otherwise impossible, ex- cept for officers and enlisted men oI the navy under conditions of actual service, to have the opportunity that will be afforded at St. Louis of witness ing the life, duties and activity Of Uncle Sam's navy at sea under condi- ticns approximating actual warfare.
