Some Marvellous Exhibits
at the Panama acific
international Exposition

Exhibits In Agricultural Palace at the
Panams-Pacific international Expo
sition Show Caterpillar Gaining
Favor Over Lue-wheeler Trae-
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 ag-
ricuitural 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 OPP
Grated on ground soft enough to mire
an ordinary farm wagon.

Pearl Culture a New Industry.

Pearl Culture a New Industry.
Among the interesting exhibits OF
the japanese In the Manufacturers
Palace at the Panama-Pacific lnterna-
tional Exposition is 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
fnercial basis a few years ago would
have been the possessions of royalty,
will delight any lover of beautiful
gems, and the methods of production
will prove interesting to any OBJ
server. Though pearl culture has be-
come 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-
ton was evolved by the Japanese SCI
enlist kokiehi Mikimoto, who dlscov-
cred a species OF oyster which pro-
duced the pearl On the surface of the
shell. Though the finding of the oys-
tiers 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 of the gems, even to
that OF the most expensive limitations.
shows that Ii Is beset with many diff.
culties.
