 Favor Over Lu0-wheeler rrac-
 tors in Farm Machinery.
 An observer in the Agriculture Pal ace at the Panama-Pacific Interna. tional Exposition at San Francisco cannot help noticing, in the display of agricultural power machinery, the al most complete supersedence of the new design of power tractor, known as the caterpillar, over the cumbersome, unstable, high-wheeled engine of a few years ago. There are few of the old models on exhibition. while the caterpillar principle has been applied to almost every type of engine for az ricultural purposes.
 The caterpillar proper Is a heavy sheet metal chain, varying in width from ten inches to two feet according to the weight of the engine, which passes around two heavy sprocket wheels like belt. These wheels re- volving, pass the chain about them, the lower part moving backward, with the weight of the engine resting on the broad surface of the chain be tween the two sprockets.
 An engine of this type can be op erated on ground soft enough to mire an ordinary farm wagon.

The photograph shows the belle ot the interesting Samoan village at the Panama-Pacific International Ex- position at San Francisco. The struc- lures in this village, comprising the native thatched huts of the Samoan. or as they were formerly called. tho Navigator islands. were brought in tact from the native villages and are absolutely faithful in all their fea- lures. There are many native fam flies living in the village who for the edification of visitors perform the aquatic feats in which the islanders excel, and dance the rhythmic native dances. The life of the people of the Pacific ocean is wonderfully illus trated at the Exposition. and of all the races none are more interesting than the Samoans who exhibit many traces of Aryan descent No Exposi- ton visitor should fail to see these unique tribespeople.

 Pacific international Exposition.
 One of the most valuable exhibits commercially, ln the Agricultural Pal ace at the Panama-Pacific Interna- tional Exposition. San Francisco. is an ancient blow displayed in the Massachusetts exhibit, and forming a striking contrast to the highly-com- plex mo6ern machinery displayed on the acreage of floor about it.
 The blow owes it's distinction to the circumstance that hundred years ago Daniel Webster's youthful hands guided It along the furrows of his fathers farm near Marshfield, Mass, It was drawn by a yoke of oxen and If the future peer of American ora tors and statesmen could turn an acre of sod day he had to work from daylight to dark.

Duplicate of the Roosevelt African
 Shotgun.

oHOtSuu.
 A duplicate of the shotgun which Col. Theodore Roosevelt took with him on his African trip, gun constructed expressly for him by an American armorer, is on display at the manufac- turer's exhibit in the Manufacturer's Palace at the Panama-Pacific interna- tional Exposition, San Francisco. The gun cost it's illustrious owner $360, and its beautiful design, graceful lines and wonderful inlay work would justify the expenditure to any lover of fine pieces. The stock is elabo- rately hand carved, the barrels and lock are hand engraved, and the lock is inlaid with hunting scene in gold. The barrels are of the finest Krupp steel. Before starting on the trip the ex-president wrote to the makers: T really think it Is the most beautiful gun I have ever seen. l am almost ashamed to take it to Africa and sub feet it to the rough treatment it will receive"
 The left barrel is choked and the right open. It is cored to shoot either buckshot or single ball.
 In a group in this Palace are dis plays by four of the worlds greatest manufacturers of sporting arms, which form an exhibit which attracts hun in charge of firearms expert.

Pearl Culture . New Industry.
 Among the interesting exhibits of the Japanese in the Manufacturers Palace at the Panama Pacific Interna- tional Exposition is a demonstration of the methods and results of pearl cultivation in the far East The dis plays of this cultivated product, show ing hundreds of pearls which until pearl culture was placed on a com mercial basis a few years ago would have been the possessions of royalty, will delight any lover of beautiful gems, ard the methods of production will prove interesting to any ob server. Though pearl culture has be come a thriving industry in Japan, at tempts to reproduce it in other parts of the world have yielded but meager results.
 The successful method of propaga- tion was evolved by the Japanese sci enlist Kokichi Mikimoto. who discov- cred species of oyster which pro duced the pearl on the surface of the ters and inserting the nuclei, then waiting for the pearl to grow to a commercial size may seem a simple process, the fact that 1t has not re. duced the price ot the gems, even to that of the most expensive limitations, shows that it Is Deset with many diff culties.

Most Rapid Photographs Ever Taken.

Most Rapid Photographs Ever Taken.
 The most remarkable set of speed photographs ever taken are a part of the war departments exhibit in Ma chinery Hall at the Panama-Pacific In- ternational Exposition, San Francisco. They are pictures of shell from 12- inch coast defense gun in flight. the set including the various phases of the flight beginning just as the great projectile pokes it's nose out of the muzzle of the gun.
 The pictures were taken with a lens having an exposure period of one five-thousandth of a second, this being the fastest shutter ever manu- factured. The exposure at the proper time in the flight of the prOjectile was made by breaking an electric cir cult in wire stretched across the trajectory at the desired point and connecting with the shutter.
 One picture shows the shell half way out of the muzzle before any smoke and gas has escaped. Another was taken when the shell was two feet from the muzzle but hidden by heavy ring of smoke. A third shows the shell in flight hundred feet from the muzzle. The photographs are SO perfect and the exposure so rapid that scarcely any blur is perceptible. They were taken at Fortress Monroe, Va, un- der the direction of Capt F. J. Behl of the coast artillery corps and head of the department of enlisted specialists at the Coast Artillery school at Fortress Monroe.

Radium Used to Promote Plant
 Growth.

Some of the remarkable properties of fadium are being demonstrated py an exhibitor In the Liberal Arts build Ing at the Panama Pacific Information. al Exposition, San Francisco. in con nection with new invention making possible the radiofying of water tor medicinal purposes.
 Demonstrating the power of this mineral promoting metabolism nun Der of young plants, some existing with and some without the aid of ra- dium, are shown Those m the radio active soils are seen to be growing much more rapidly than those In com mon soil, and to have a more healthy appearance.
 This inventor has found a process of impregnating terra cotta bricks with radium- bearing minerals. and these small bricks placed In water are said to give it remarkable curative properties. The porous bricks last al- most indefinitely. losing only half their potency, it Is estimated in 1900 years. Since the discovery of this mineral it has been found that many celebrated waters. as Carlsbad and Baden Baden. owe their health-giving properties to ra- dium. The inventor claims that his process produces in ordinary waters the qualities of these famous springs.
 The radium ore used in the manu- facture of radioactive terra cotta is known as carnotite, a formation found mainly in Colorado and Utah, and now producing three-fourths of the worlds radium. The European mineral. known as pitchblende. from which the famous European springs are impregnated, is also displayed.

The one that perched on the
