some exhibits. in placing the case In q
manner likely to attract, and then In 50
arranging the specimens themselves that
people passing will be drawn to them.
Such a thing is possible, and consequent
ly people can be interested in an exhibit
which, IL not properly arranged, they
would pass by without noticing"
But perhaps the greatest of all needs Is
that OF having specimens arrive and re-
turn safely. In many cases the speci-
mems sent represent a large amount OF
money. and their loss or destruction
would be considerable item-in the
case, for instance. OF the specimens from
the bureau of entomology An enlarged
copy OF some insect is placed In a box
and the various legs and more delicate
portions are kept in place by means OF
tape fastened to the sides OF the box.
The packing OF single specimen OF
such a character may take an hour or
more, and yet it must be done In order
to arrive safely. But whatever the OBJ
stacles may be in preparing an exhibit.
they are considerably greater in packing
up the specimens for return. Where
everything is made for show, there is
little opportunity for constructing build
ings for practical use, and when the
exhibits are boxed for the home trip
there are always difficulties to be en-
countered greater than those At home.
For one thing, the person handling the
specimens may be unfamiliar with not
only the delicacy but also their value.
and care must be taken in supervising
such operations.
In speaking Of the gain resultant to the
United States in consequence to an ex-
hibit at an exposition compared to the
amount of money expended, one govern
ment official connected with such mat
tiers stated that the United States never
lost money by having exhibits.
1T Is simply a matter OF advertisfnG"
he said. Take. for instance, Italy. Her
import trade amounts annually to about
$6OO,OOOO0O. of which the United States
gets only about Ii per cent. The great
er portion goes to Great Britain and
Germany, both of which governments are
spending about five times as much as
we are for their exhibits. IL the United
States, through her exhibits, can bring
an increase OF trade into this coun-
try, which is usually the result OF such
expositions the money expended VIII bo
more than gotten back. The rivals of the
United States are Great Britain, France
and Germany, all of whom spend more
money, thoughtful attention and time
than do We. If they, who get a much
larger per cent Of Italy's trade than we
do, spend five times as much, there must
be a chance of increasing the trade
and this country should take ADVANTAGE
of any such opportunity to increase her
per cent of trade" e..e.s

To accomplish this an enormous amount

And now the end of the first part of
the work has been reached, for the last
nail has practically been hammered In

that is by no means the finish. Uncle
Sam is sending over to Turin two men

reached, they will repack the exhibit and
see that it gets back home safe and

While some idea of the scope OF the
exhibit can be gained from an account of
the specimens to be shown, it is almost
impossible to realize the vast amount Of
labor which getting together such an ex-
hibit entails. One OF the minor features,
for instance. is the preparation of labels
that are placed on exhibits. both in Ital-
ian and English. 1t is in reality almost
an appalling task. Prof. Scribner pointed
out one instance showing a list Of labels

covering several pages. Then he pointed
to single small rack containing two
rows of glass tubes containing fluids.
THE labels are for just that rack" he
remarked. And in an exhibit such as
the United States is making there are
thousands and thousands Of specimens
that have to be labeled to greater or
lesser extent

In addition to the main features OF the
exhibit there are also many smaller parts
That necessitate much work. One Of these
is the vast number of pictures to be car
ried with the various exhibits, not so much
as necessary exhibits in themselves but
more for the purpose Of giving an attract
i've touch to the appearance of the exhibit
as a whole. All these must be hung with
an eye open to the greatest artistic pos
sibilities.
In arrasging any exhibit the most i'm
portant feature is to make it so at
tractlve that 1t draws visitors. In this
matter any one familiar with such things
is able to show greater amount of skill
than some one unfamiliar with human
nature. Prof. Scribner is in this case able
to Lend much valuable knowledge to the
work. as he has learned by much ex-
perlence what attracts by its own merits
and what must be arranged atractively in
order to bring visitors.
There are some exhibits" says Prof.
Scrlbner, that do not appeal to the aver
age person. They may attract persons
interested in them, but there is still left
large percentage of persons who visit
an exposition more from curiosity than
actual interest in any specific exhibits.
For that reason it is necessary to take
an unusual amount of care in preparing

Preparing for expositions is a task
which has by this time become a routine
duty to Uncle Sam. The government ex-
hibit at expeditions in this country Is
one of the most important parts. while
exhibits made by this country at interna-
tional expositions are by no means in
frequent. Consequently, Uncle Sam is
pretty nearly always preparing for some
exposition or unpacking the exhibits just
returned from one. This means that the
United States government has spent mil
lions Of dollars for exposition purposes
For this exposition Congress has au-
thorized the expenditure Of $4,000. But
that is not a large sum compared with
others. For the exposition to be held in
Toxic In 1917. which was postponed from
1912, q million and a half has been set
aside by Congress, while appropriations
for other expeditions have ranged from
nifty to two hundred Thousand dollars, and
the exposition held at Paris in 1900 cost
this government between twelve and thir-
teen hundred thousand dollars.

are made from the roof of his barn,

BALLAST.
When q woman falls she falls from
great height, and it is difficult to
get up again.
Years ago a beautiful girl was o.
clerk in her fathers grocery at Osh-
kosh, Wis. Her beauty attracted
Milwaukee millionaire, an honorable
man. who married her.
She had beautiful home, leisure
all too much leisure-luxury and the
things that money will buy.
But she was dissatisfied. She said
there was not enough life" in Mil
waukee. She preferred Chicago. Her
indulgent husband provided her with
funds and permitted her to spend most
of her time in the larger city.
In Chicago she got into bad hands.
She descended from gayety into crime.
One day Milwaukee and Chicago
were both startled to hear that the
wife Of the millionaire, who had been
under the eyes OF the police, had
stolen a lot of diamonds. She con-
fessed.
The woman had gone down the
swift, smooth decline to the bottom.
Her husband got n divorce, and she
was, sent to the penitentiary for two
years. Il have learned my lesson"
said she as she came out Of the prison
doors.
She was mistaken.
Joining the Volunteers OF America
she made an effort at honest labor. but
in few weeks was back in the old
circles. Her latest crime was the rob
berry of a wealthy broker.
Now, what is the lesson?
Suppose this girl had married a poor
man and had faced deprivation and
the struggle to bring up a family. 1t
is likely she would have been a better
behaved, a happier woman.
Not every one Is equipped to "stand
prosperity" Often the burdens Of life
are a blessing in disguise.
Duty Is a stern master, but kind
one.
The heavy obligation which you
carry may be the ballast you need to
steady your ship through the seas.

She bears upon her head a heavy
