Another invention Of interest ex.
hibited is model coke-drawing ma.
chine, invented and patented by John
hayes, of Uniontown. This machine
Is at present in use In most Of the
large blast furnaces Of western Penn
sylvania. 1t is said that by the use
of this inventirse one man Is enabled
to do the work OF 100.
One Of the most interesting Of the
exhibits Is the library. In this ex-
hibit stand the shelves are lined with
more than 800 books on every con-
ceivable topic written and published
by colored persons. Many of these
have been lent to the exhibition COM
mission by the Congressional library.

tanned from the National library of
Haiti through the efforts Of Dr. viii.

ish.
The school exhibit occupies nearly
one end Of the main building. In this
the manual work done by colored
students of the following schools is
shown: The Durham, Reynolds, Gill.
Pollock, Meehan and Wilmot schools
in this city, and the public schools OF
Lancaster, Pittsburgh, Sunbury, Har-
risburg and dozen other Penn
sylvania cities. The work shown in
cludes tables, chairs, stools, desks
book racks and shelves and number
of other articles. The Berean School
of Manual and Industrial Training has
separate exhibit showing every
type of manufactured article. This Ia
local institution, whose building is
at 1884 South College avenue.
Next to the school exhibit is the
are gallery. Although the pictures
shown are far from being the equal
of the mechanical and school ex.
h.bits in displaying intellectual de-
velopment, several are remarkable for
an original grasp of their subjects,
compromising for the lack of accurate
technique. The majority of these deal
with racial subjects, denoting allego-
rically the advance of the African
race in the last fifty years. Unques-
tionably the best work shown was
by George w. Clinton and Lorenzo
Harris, of this city Both have studied
abroad for several years.
One of the most interesting of the
exhibits was that Of the doctors,
