Japan has appropriated $630,765 for its representation at the expo sition. A splendid Japanese ex hibit is assured. Nearly $1,100,000 of insurance is now carried on the exposition buildings and electric plant The amount will be increased from time to time as the construction pro ceeds. On the three evenings during the exercises dedicatory of the exposi tion buildings, October 11, 12 and 13, tireworks to the value of $25,000 will be displayed. The contract has already been let Chew Yu Ling, representing cam- mercial parties in China, has ar ranged to conduct a tea pavilion on Midway Plaisance, has applied for 1,000 square feet of space in the manufactures building in which to exhibit Chinese silks, embroideries, etc. Visitors to the exposition can, if they choose, drink Waukesha water on the fair grounds at one cent a glass. A company owning one of the principal springs at Waukesha has been awarded the contract for furnishing the water, which will be piped from that place to Chicago, about 100 miles, and be served at 300 places On the fairgrounds. Plenty of Lake Michigan water will be ob tainable free, of course. The Wisconsin world's fair board has issued a circular to the farmers of Wisconsin asking them to ex hibit the very best products of their farms at the county faira and state fair of this year, aa the exhibit for the world's fair will be selected to a large extent from, the cereals and other farm products which are awarded premiums at those fairs. Water for the exposition grounds will be supplied from two pumping stations having a combined capaci ty of 74,000,000 gallons a day.

S. army and national guard compete with teama from other nations. The world's fair board for Kansas is promoting a plan whereby it is expected that the expense of erect ing the exposition building for that Btate will be borne by school pupils. The proposition is to have all of the schools in the state ob serve a "World'a Fair Day," by holding an entertainment with music, recitations, tableaux, etc, to which a mall entrance fee will be charged.
