AMERICAN EXPO. IN BERLIN.

An American exposition will be
held in Berlin from May to July,
1910. At the head of this EXPOSE
ton is a committee consisting OF
representative business men of the
United States. A committee has
also been formed in Berlin, whose
honorary president is Prince Henry
of Prussia. The central location of
the city of Berlin, not only as the
capital of the German empire, but
also with respect to a great part
of northern, central and eastern Eu-
rope, assures rare opportunity for
showing American products abroad
and for promoting the export trade
of the United States. AS the expo
sition is to be confined strictly to
American products, it becomes
matter of national interest to have
the exhibits thoroughly comprehen-
sive and of exceptional merit, SO
that the exposition may serve to
strengthen the prestige of American
industries abroad.

of biography employed by the ma

Hollow trees are selected and these,
being of various thickness, are able
to give out a high and low note
when struck. The sound travels
immense distances through the
bush-many miles. A code is not
employed, but from the different
musical notes the native is able to
recognize the words that are in

HE CERTAINLY DID FORGET
AppsIIatIon Given King George by
eoatswain Was Little Like
Instructions.

On certain occasion, when George
III. proposed to visit a man-of-war
at Portsmouth, the captain, who was
a religiously disposed man, was
thrown into great CONSERVATION lest
his crew or the officers under him
should fail in proper respect.
The boatswain, though an inval-
liable seaman, was particular
source of fear; and, knowing from
the familiar habits of his majesty
that he would probably have some
thing to say to each one on board,
the captain called this man aside and
informed him how he should be-
have.
"Mind especially" said the cap
tain, chat he must always be called
your majesty"
The boatswain seemed very tract
able and the captain was pleased;
but his worst fears were verified
when, on the king addressing some
question to the boatswain, that sea-
man stammered, twitched at his
waistband in mental perplexity, and
at length turned towards the cap
tain, exclaiming:
There, cap'n; hanged if I arn't
forgot it! What did you say I was
to call the old buffer?"
