The stately pile erected by the fcdcr mil government fa but on emblem of the many beautiful exhibits prepared by the various governmentni depnrlmnenta for the instruction of the people of the great middle west Within its walls every tie- lnrtmenl of the government Is repreeonted by exhlhila whichm show the practical work. Ings of the branches among which the vast business of time government is divided , A visit to this building Is an education ha it- . . self. Not merely do the exhibits show the methods by which the business of the government - ernment is carried on , but they show the purpose for which this businesa Is con- ducted. 'rho method and the result ore shown side by side , unit days might be I profitably spent in studying the thousands of exhibits nil the lessons they teach , The interior of the building is dividcKt Into ten parts , of varying extent , and cacti of these is occupied by one of mho departments - ments of the government. The departments - ments arc these : Slate , Treasury , Justice , , . Interior , Poslomee , War , Navy , Agriculture , Smithsonian Institution and National mu- scum , Fish commission , The space allotted . . to each Is completely Idled vr1Ui exhibits relating to the work of that department. There are several bureaus in sonic of the departments and each of these is allotted space sufficient for Its needs , There is little discrimination on the part of the visiting public , each of the exhibits receiving its due meed of attention , but time display made by the Department of Age- ! culture perhaps touches a deeper spot In - - - - - the hearts of the people of this particular section than any other , It includes the things which the people of an agricultural community understand and appreciate , and that they are interested is demonstrated by lime throngs which pass about front exhibit to exhibit , carefully examining cacti one and exchanging comments as Information regarding some particular thing is absorbed , Time exhibit of this department occupies about 4,500 foot in the southwest corner of the building. It was prepared under the supervision of Colonel J , II. Brigham , as- ! sislant secretary of agriculture , nail was installed under the direction of Charles , Richards Dodge , in charge of the office of fiber investigation. There are seven bureaus under this department , each having an ex- hihlt illustrating its practical operation. These are the Weather bureau , the Bureau of Animal Industry , Division of Forestry , Division of Entomology , Division of i'omn- elegy , Division of Botany and ol11ce of Fiber Investigation , Weather flit renu Itt.frunituts. The exhibit of the Weather bureau occu- ' pica the north end of the space allotted to i the department. The most important portion - tion of the display comprises the various instruments - struments used in taking meteorological oh- acrvations. These instruments constitute the equlpmcnt of a weather observing station - tion of the first class , They Include a regIstering - Istering apparatus electrically connected with a wind vane , anemometer , sunshine recorder and rain- gauge , located , on thereof roof of the hullding'the direction and velocity - locity of the wind , lhe duration of sunshine or cloudiness and the amount of rainfall , if any , being recorded on the cylinder in full view of visitors. There are also displayed two types of sunshine recorders , the trlcal device and the photographic device. Two types of rain gauge are shown , the tipping bucket gauge and the weighing gauge. A telethermograph is an interesting instrument by which the temperature of the air ahoro time Government building 1s recorded - corded on a cylinder contained In a glass case on the table before the visitors , This Instrument is connected electrically with a thermometer on the roof and the reading of the instrument. Is recorded on the cylinder. An instrument for recording observations is the neplmoscope. By 1t the direction and velocity of clouds , their azimuth of motion and their altitude are determined. Several varieties of barometers are shown , including - ing the old reliable mecurial barometer - ometer and the self-recording aner- oid. A large kite of the type which has caused a great deal of excitement and comment hereabouts since the local kite station was established is the among ex- hibits. The kite is of the "box" variety , mho cells each being seven feet in width , braced with steel wire and capable of lifting - ing over 100 pounds , A complete map printing - - - ing plant Is In operation and a weather clap is Issued tinily by Observer A , Ii , Wol- labor , who was detailed from the Buffalo station especially for this work , Mr.Vol - laber has charge of the exhibit and his time is greatly occupied in expialning to visitors the uses and operations of the various - ous instrument , In ndditlon to the features - tures already menlloned , the caldbit in- eludes a series of climatic charges , by which the various climatic conditions of any given section may bo studied , and a number of photographs of various stations of the bureau - reau , pictures of clouds , lightning flashes , etc. Studies of Anlmnl Creutlnn , The exhibit of the bureau of Animal in- dnslry consists of models and specimens to alcohol representing some of the infectious - ious dlseabes In the domesticated animals , models of diseased horse's hoofs , shoes for the correction of faulty galls and time treat- " Inept of dlseases of time hoof ; cultures of bacteria , toxins and anti-toxins , animal par. { asltds ; a pyramid of wool samples ; poultry illustrating the gape worm disease , etc. TJm practicaloperatlon of the mlcroseoPteal Inspection of Oueat for export Is shown by four young women from the ofllco of the bureau at the South Omaha Stock yards. These young women perform their daily work ! n full view of the visitors and Iho operation Is watched w'lth a great deal of Interest A near-by Ghee contains enlarged models of the various stages of the trichina , The dairy exhibit Is contained ha a case against the south wall of time building , This contains Jars showing samples of cheese and butter products and a collection of pack- egos used for packing butter , Iucludlmmg a number of foreign packing cases. Models of sheep dipping vats , such as are ubed at the large stock yards for the treatuuent of b - - scabby sheep , are shown , The exhibit of the Forestry division comprises - prises a unonographic display of four corn- . - - rnerclaly iruportant tiutber trees of the west-white pine , bull lilac , while jlr and Douglas spruce , Each species is shown In a frnmo farmed of time timber of the species whim the bark eu it , enclosing a map showing - ing the geographical distribution , synonym and economic uses , pholonticrophs ( showing magnified structure of the wood ) , botanical joecintens together with cross-sections of young and old trunks and uuflnlsbed anti I flnished wool , showing characteristic up- penranco ; representative forest botanical display of 125 representative tree species mounted in glass boxes each box specimen accomnpauied by a block of wood and a small map showing geographical distribution , Models of fauns are also displayed , showing the sffect of indiscrlmlaate denudation of , 1L _ _ forests , the method of reclaiming the land and a model farm as reclaimed. In connection - tion with the last named display Is the tree plantation of time department of the north tract of the exposition grounds , In the rear of the hairy and Apiary buildings , This blanlnllon shows the practical operation of tree cultivation as practiced by the depart- ment. Between 600 and 600 small trees are placed on this plantation and the method of cultivation Is shown , The trees are quite small and Include a large variety which the department belloyes are suitable for time west. The exhibit of the forestry division is In charge of George 11 , Sudworth , who says that the problem - lem of cultivating trees in the section east of the Mississippi and reclaiming landwhich has been denuded of Its forest growth has been solved , but the question of creating a timber growth In the treeless region of the west is one which has given the department much anxiety. The purpose of time exhibit Is to give the people of tmis ) section a general - eral Idea of forestry and to establish time principles of forestry as It has been practiced - ticed for centuries in Europe , Time Importance - tance of trees to the successful prosecution of agriculture is recognized by the department - ment and the work of the forestry division is to disseminate knowledge on this point , The division of entomology shows a collec- llou of insects affecting fruit trees , , truck crops , forage plants , grains , live stock , etc with n number of the more important Insecticides - secticides and brief directions for lhelr preparation anti use. The division of pomology shows models nod water color paintings of fruits adapted to cultivation in the United States and a collection of fruit descrlplions illustrating methods used In recording varietal statistics for use in identification of varietle3. A collection - lection of dried California fruit is also included - cluded in the display. The division of botany illustrates the government - ernment method of seed inspection , with samples of seeds , many of which are accompanied - companied by enlarged models showing peculiarities - culiarities of farm nmmtl color ; also a collection - tion of poisonous plants mounted on herbarium - rium sheets. In connection with this exhibit Is a large case prepared by ii. i' .

The exhibit of the office of fiber invesliga- tlom was prepared by Charles Richards Dodge , in charge of these investigations. It shows a collection of the more Inmportadt commercial flaxes and hemps of the world. One of the nmost interesting features of the collection is a series showing the work of the office in its establishment of the flax Industry. A panel shows the flax grown 1n experiments in time Puget sound region of Washington , the product being shown from the straw as harvtstetl , to bundles of flax worth $500 per ton. Several beautiful samples are slmown from Michigan , Oregon , Minnesota , Wisconsin and other western states which are hterested in the flax fiber Industry. A foreign collection embraces some of the best varieties grown anywhere in the world. The hemp industry is Illustrated - trated In the same thorough manner. In addition to the display of fibers in the Coy- ernment building , the department , at the request of the exposition management , loaned to the exposition a valuable collection - tion of the commercial fibers of the world which has beeu handsomely installed , at government expense , in the Liberal Arts building. This is arranged in four cases of thirty-two panels , in series , to illustrate the raw fibers and their preparation , with examples - amples of principal manufactures. The collection - lection includes fla C. hemp , Jute , cotton , ramie , sisal and manila hemps , palmetto , cocoanut and the principal species of brush fibers , such as pleas nba , palmyra , kittool , etc. Among the novelties are corn pith cel- lulose. used for packing bulkheatls of armored vessels , Cuba bast and willow and poplar shavings , used la millinery goads. A large case in the space assigned to the Agricultural department contains a complete set of the numerous and complicated instruments - struments used in the chemical analysis of sugar and the apparatus for testing the "mother beets" to determine their saccharine - charine quality.

The I'oileo mid ) mospital departments had a quiet day ycslttdny , no cases being reported frvtn either didslnn. 'i'loket booths and turnstiles are being erected on the built tract directly south of the Sherman avenue vladuct. This will add greatly to the facilities for accommodating - ing lne large crowds which are expeaed oaring the next live months. 't'he Marine band gave another delightful concert in time main court yesterday afternoon - noon , 'i'ho few hundreds of visitors who were there were liberal in their npprecla- tion and did their best to supply in enthusiasm - thusiasm what they lacked in numbers. 'i'he bureau of Admissions reports that the number of palm ! admissions to the exposition - position on the second day was 3,912. The registration of admissions by passes Is still Inctnnplete and no estimate is made by the bureau of those entering the grounds In this manner , The Transportation department has taken possession of Ito offices on the second floor of the Service building. The partitions , counters , railings , etc. , are not yet completed - pleted , but the business of time department is being conducted under dilticulties amid the noise of the carpenters amid the smell of fresh paint , 'rho Bureau of Admissions is besieged all ( lt ) long by parties wanting passes for ( etn- porarv workmen or the regular exhibitors and assistants after their pass books. Up to last night only about 100 pass books bud hcea Issued. The bureau expects to do a rushing business today , as all the books shuttld be delivered by night. A number of the camels that were shipped to Omaha for use in one of the oriental concessions are detained at quarantine In New York , The quarantine officers insisted that the animals should be thoroughly die- Irtected before they were landed. This lire- coca has been satisfactorily completed and the animals will be shipped on today , 'i'ho push cart ummi has appeared on the grounds , but so far he has been pretty much without an occupation. The western people are able to walk and the one or two misguided - guided indivldunls who have been tempted to ho wheeled around the grounds have recelved so much chating from the crowd that the luxury is scarcely popular. Some of the younger employes about the grounds have discovered a means of "work- ing" the penny-in-the-slot machines which supply Ice-cold mineral water. These machines - chines are stationed all over the grounds and the sang-frold with which some of the employes referred to extract a cup of refreshing - freshing water from the "Immards" of these venders without depositing tile flCCS.3U7 penny is very interesting. 't'he work of finishing time interior of the office of the secretary and the accounting department is still in progress , but will be completed this week. R'iro screens are being put In to enclose ail of the clerks and ucmerous small compartments are being nr- ranged ht the 0111cc. The noise of the carpenters - penters and the smell of fresh paint , which constantly pervade the place , make the work of the attaches somewhat difficult. The midway is never idle. Morning , noon and niglmt one can find all kinds of amusement - ment 't'he bands playing , time persistent "talker" and the actors never seem to the of their daily routine. It matters but little whether the crowd is large or small , the work goes on just the same. All are engaged - gaged for one purpose-tile tnaklmmg of a fortune. The lunch and refreshment stand keepers imave "tipped" the weather man and are reaping a reward thereby. The Georgia state building is now m charge of G , F. Greene , superhmtendent of mho Georgia exhibit , who is displaying the ex- htbils of mineral and fruit , which arrived two weeks ago. Mr. Greene will be somewhat - what delayed in this work , as the agrieul- tural and forestry exhibits will not arrive for about three weeks. 'rhe material already - ready on band is of the Invest specimens and will be the means of drawing the attention - tention of visitors to the producing qualities of the state of Georgia. The high uvlnds which have prevailed since the opening of the exposition have kicked up quite a "sea" in the lagoon and the erstwhile placid basin is decidedly "choppy. " Some of the laudlubbers who have been patronizing the gondolas have displayed symptoms of sea sickness anti the jerky motion of the boats as the mighty waves ( six or eight inches 1n height ) dash with fury against the gunwales as though to bury the occupants In 't w aterv grave causes those who have left their sea legs at home to grasp at the cords and seats to keep from being snatched from the bosom of the boats.

In the lighting of time inain court by mean- descent lamps an effect has been obtafued which was never undertaken before , The daring attempt to illuminate such a great area without the use of an arc hlglmt tins commanded the attention of the electrical world , and that the result has been successfully - cessfully accomplished is acknowledged by the most phlegmatic visitor to the grounds. The soft , mellow glow of the myriads of gleaming bulbs pervades time court and brings out the arctmitecturat beauty of the entire court In a manner which produces a charming picture. No fairy palace of fond memory can be compared with the entranc- fug effect of the court as seen tinder time glowing mantle of light , The architectural etnbellishnient is greatly enhanced by the softening effect of the Incandebcent liglds. Any harshness in the decoration disappears and only the surpassing beauty of the ems- steal ornamentation remalus. Time thousands of points of light are reflected and multiplied - plied by the taint surface of the lagoon , amid the lace-like spray of the fountain near the Government building glows with a radiance of prismatic colors. The beauty of the scene Increases with each observation and the ntagncr In wlmich the crowd has been hmcreasing since the opening night indicates that the people nil- predate the feast of beauty which has been furnlshetl for their delectation. The colonnade - nade at the east end of the lagoon Is becon- ing a popular place and the seals which have been placed between the columns are occu- pled at night by hundreds of visitors who drink in the beauty of the scene before then , expressing their enjoyment in terms of the highest praise. Attendance nl the Concerts. The attraction of a commcert by the Ttmeo- d0re Thomas orchestra in the Audltorimn , for which no charge was made , was strong enough to draw a large number of people front the enjoyment of time beauties of the main court and the big building was fairly well filled with some of the well known music lovers of the city. The experiment of throwing open the dooms of the Autiilo- rfum and inviting nil to come without charge proved to be a success. In spite of the strong counter attraction of the Marine band on ( lie bluff tract there was a good sized audience and time excellent program presented by the orchestra was enjoyed to the fullest extent. There was some dtsap- polntment over time'Cartthat the Omaha Ezposltiou chorus ( Cdnot appear , as was announced. Director liimball having cancelled - celled the appearange pf , the chorus at that time on account of.thgrp having been no opportunity for a Swliq rsal with the or- chestra. The evening was filled out by time orchestra with a ntmmbcj of selections and the enjoyment of time , apdience was manifested - fested in the frequgncy of the applause. A largo crowd congregated on the bluff tract to enjoy the concert by the Marine band and the hundnedetof settees provldcd for the convenience pftthose who wished to enjoy the concert were qulekly filled. The program Ivas a lengthriane and every her was applauded In tbEmost hearty man- ner. Classical music was interspersed with popular airs , all playedrrwith the precision which characterizes nil the work of this organization. Hereafter the concerts In the Auditorium and on the bluff tract will com- meuco promptly at 7:30 : o'clock , instead of at 8 o'clock. The concert program for today includes band concert on the bluff tract at 10:30 : a. in. and at 7:30 : p , m. and a concert in the Auditorium by the orchestra at 7:30 : p. m. The concert program for Sunday includes a band concert in front of the Government building at 2:30 : p. m. and an orchestra concert in the Auditorium at 4 p. m. A feature of the latter will be a harp solo by Schuekert , a noted artist on this in- strumeut. FlitST FIRE AT TIIE fNI'OSITION. Cnlifonttn Gold MIue on the .llidxtny Ilrtdly 1)nnrngcd. The hook and ladder and hose truck stationed - tioned on the exposition grounds had their first opportunity to be of service yesterday afternoon , when an alarm was turned in at 4:30 : o'clock from the California Gold mine , located on the west midway. The blaze originated at the foot of time main shaft , about twenty feet beneath the surface. Two workmen were engaged to decorating with brush and bunting the woodwork which encloses the shaft. when they suddenly noticed - ticed that they were surrounded by fire. They made a dash for the upper air and escaped - caped with scorched eyebrows and singed clothing. It Is supposed that one of the torches had been inadvertently brought too near to the pine casement , which hind been prepared with a coat of benzino paint. The flames shot up the shaft and reached the building overhead.

Superlntendmlt Foster of the Buildings and Grounds department is mnking preparations - rations to construct an overhead crossing at t Manderson street across Twemmtleth for the ' convenience of the people living in that vi- who have occasion ( o pass back and forth across Twentieth street. I Time formation of time exposition grounds puts thin people on both sides of Twenllelh Istreet in the vicinity of Manderson in a pocket , mind this situation has caused a great deal of trouble both to the exposlllom agement and to the people in that neighbor- hood. The latter have torn down the exposition - sition fence at that point when it has been completely closed , insisting that they enly consented to the erection of the fence with the understanding ( lint they were to be nl- lowed free passage across the grounds at that point. A compromise was effected several - eral days ago nut ! since that time these people - ple lmave been allowed to cross Twentieth street at llanderson , gates having been made at either side for their convenience. "I never kneww there were so many people living back there , " said Superintendamit Foster in speaking of the experience of the last two days with this particular feature. "I see people coming through those gates that I always supposed lived in another part of town , but they tell the gale keepers that they are compelled to pass through iii order to reach their work. When large crowds are passing to and fro on Twentieth street it is impossible for the gatekeepers to watch these people and see Rant they go across to the other gate , and the result is that they scatter among the people on the grounds and the exposition is out just 50 cents for each one of theta. I believe the only way out of this difficulty is to erect a viaduct for foot passengers across Twentieth - tieth street and then we will not be troubled in this way. I am having plans made for such a viaduct amid will urge time construction - tion as soon as possible. 1l has been proved conclusively that the problem cannot be handled with gates , but I believe the viaduct - duct will completetlly cover the case.
