 The Crane was completed this spring. and is the latest type of the Bureau of Fisheries boats, both in style and in comfort. With a running crew of seven or eight men, the Crane is carrying 20 men in all, on her trip to the westward.
 Ninety feet in length, she has a beam of 20 feet and a draft of 10 feet, and is powered with a Washington-Estep 200 horsepower motor Features of her cabin are roomy pilot house, compact ra- dio room. neat galley, and officers ward and mess hall.
 A. J. Soumela, assistant agent in charge of the Bristol Bay dis trict, came north on the boat, but will remain here for several days to undergo medical treatment.
 Passengers on the Crane are stream wardens and sub-officials who are enroute westward to take over their summer work. Ben Pnrford. local man, will sail with the boat and will transfer to the Sdoter, Fisheries craft, as engi- neer when the boat reaches the westward.

THE problem developed recently of
how to produce artificial sea water
which would simulate the ocean waves
it was designed to duplicate, historical
exhibit in the making, Is being pre-
pared as a part of the Federal farming
show which Uncle Sam will send to
Seville, Spain, for the great interna-
tional exposition there during the
Spring, Summer and Fall of 1929. This
particular exhibit represents one of the
wooden ships of Columbus, anchored
as close as possible to what now is the
American coast. The expedition of
Columbus introduced the first live stock
from Spain to these. United States.
From that insignificant beginning has
developed our current 100000, 600
live stock business,
In order to make the little wooden
ship as true to life as possible, it was
necessary to produce waves so that the
vessel would pitch and roll in the
| slightly agitated sea while her canvas
would bag and belly in the breeze One
idea was to make the sea Of rubber
sheeting, so that at regular intervals
defiectors underneath could bob up and
stretch the rubber and subsequently
allow it to contract back into original
position. This curious movement was
designed to, simulate wave motion. 1t
was not satisfactory. Other expedients
were tried, but they did not fulfill re-
quirements.
! Finally a large sink in one of the
Government laboratories was used as
q scene of experimentation. A me-
chanical wave maker was deviSed--a
piece of board, bounced up and down
regularly in the tank. The water was
colored with dyes to the normal hue of
the ocean. Eventually Uncle Sans exc
hibit makers perfected system OF con-
trolled wave production which filled

miles going from here to there and
yonder Their final depository was the
huge Government warehouse at Alex
andria, where the educational exhibits
are stored, repaired, revised and re-
modelled for the following years of
trouping.
There is huge dispatcher's wall map
in one of the Government Offices. 1t
looks like the military map of war
campaign. 1t is speckled with tackS
and bits of numbered paper. 1t is the
guide as to where each group of enter
tanning exhibits is located at any time
during the annual fair season. One
expert is in charge of routing and re-
routing the exhibits. Two. experts &C
company each carload of exhibits dur
ing the fair season.
Here is typical travel schedule for
one of these educational carloads which
speaks at the shows and fairs by sign
language: 1t travels from Alexandria
to Prescott, AriZ., for exhibition at the
North Arizona State Fair; thence to the
Pacific Coast Exposition at Long Beach,
Calf, and then to the Western Mon
tana State Fair at MisSoula. After
being displayed at the Montana State
Fair at Helena it returns to Alexandria
for the Winter.
Another typical carload Of exhibits
proceeds at the start of the show sea-
son from Alexandria to Aurora, ILL.,, for
the Central States Exposition, and then
Journeys to the West Michigan State
Fair at Grand Rapids. Subsequently it
tours to the Arkansas and Alabama
State fairs before returning to its Win
ter headquarters across the Potomac.
The experts who accompany the ma
tional exhibits In their many thou
sand miles of annual trouping are pre-
pared for any and every emergency.
If by chance anything untoward hap
pens to the exhibits in transit or dur
ing public display, they are qualified to
repair the damage. Once urchtns stole
to the fair grounds and skinned the fur
from the legs of family Of model
coyotes. When the Federal men in
charge of the exhibit arrived they
viewed with dismay the results of this
trespaSs. Then forthwith they set to
work to repair the damage. Deity
they removed hair from hidden parts
of the mother coyotes body and glued
it on the legs Of her young. With
brush and comb they arranged the hair,
and none of the spectators noticed the
change.

then sawed out the animal figure. The
COW model has been equipped with a

mounted on spring actuated neck, so
that the imitation animal can bob and

"Oh, yes. But there is nothing con-

The marshal spoke in cordial terms
of Gen. Pershing. He was interested
in knowing that Gen. Pershing also is
delaying indefinitely the publication OF
his book on the war. The marshal fully
realizes, perhaps better than any other

drawn into the various groups striving
for power and influence such as the
Painleve and Petain groups and the
