ALABAMA AT WORLDS FAIR.
4 Field of Growing Cotton and a COlOssnl Statute Of Vulcan Among
 the States Exhibits.

St Louis, Dec 29.-Mr. J. A. Mac Knight of the Birmingham Commercial club, says that one of the most inter esting exhibits from Alabama will be that of the nine cotton mills of Hunts will. A field of growing cotton will be shown, together with the process of turning the raw cotton into cloth The gins, looms, etc. will all he in opera tion in full view of the spectators. This exhibit will be made in the Agriculture building.
 MT Mcknight reports that the statue of Vulcan to be exhibited by the Birmingham district will be 150 feet high, and will contain 100000 pounds of Alabama iron. The model. built by G. Moretti, of New York, and a corps of assistants, is now nearly ready, and will soon be shipped to Birmingham, to be cast in iron there This will be the most difficult and costly pieces of iron work ever done in this or any country. If cast in ten separate sections of uniform weight, each piece will weigh oyer five tons, snd these must fit together so perfect ly that when the statue is set up in the Mines and Metallurgy building it will appear to be in one piece. But the great statue will be remarkable not only for it's bulk. It will be a mag nificent work of art, its lines beautiful to the eye from every point of view, and every proportion and detail per feet.
 After the exposition it will be re- moved to Birmingham, Ala, and set up as a permanent memorial in one of the public parks of that city, and funds for the purpose will be derived from the sale of miniature representations of the Colossus. These souvenirs will be sold in a booth built of Alabama marble near the great statue, where several other specimens of the states mineral wealth will be offered.
