THE UNIVERSAL . EXPOSITION The Achievements of Individuals and Na tions Faithfully Recorded by This Encyclopedia of Society. By FREDERICK J. V. SKIFF , Direct or of ExblbliB , World's Fnlr. "The wisdom of all ages la none too groat for the world's work. " In this single salient sentence , uttered In his famous address at Buffalo In Septem ber , 1001 , President McKiuley de scribed the object aud the result of ' expositions. A modern universal exposition is a collection of the wisdom and achieve ments of the world , for the inspection of the world , for the study of its ex perts , by which they may make com parisons and deduction and develop plans for future improvements and progress. Such a universal exposition might well be called an encyclopedia of society. It constitutes a classified , compact , indexed compendium of the achievements and ideas of society in all phases of its activity , extending to the most material aa well as the most refined. It offers Illustrations cover ing the full field of social performance , from the production of the shoes on our feet and the pavement beneath them to a presentation of the rarest and most delicate creations of the brains and hands of men In what are called the fine arts of civilization. The Universal Exposition in St. Lou- Is in 1904 will be such a social ency clopedia in the most comprehensive and accurate sense. It will give to the world in revised and complete details "a living picture of the artistic and in dustrial development at which man kind has arrived" and will actually provide "a new starting point from which all men may direct future exer tions. " It will present for the inspec tion of specialists in all lines of in-hv- trial and social endeavor and for the public an assembly of the best h v b the world has done and has to bliov. * in industry , art and science , and. what is very important , it will offer tSv p achievements of society , lhc.se trophies of civilization , in a highly selected , ac curately classified array. The creators of the St. Loui.Expo.i - tion have had the experience of all previous great expositions by which to plan and effect its high orcar.izaiSou. The continuous and repeated burden of the message of experience hand.nl clown by all expositions has 'OTH mcr- ' ' perfect , more effective cltssiScs.ucu and : irrjng. nTnt of exhibits. The classification of the St. Louis Exposition has been prepared to pre sent a sequential synopsis cf the de velopments that have marked man's progress. On Us bases will bo as- "Eeinbled the most highly organ he J ex position the world has yet seen. The St. Louis classification h divided into 1C departments. 14-1 group * and SOT classes. These grand departnier.ts in their order will record what i.i.ur has accomplished at this time with his faculties , industry and skill and the " * > - natural resources at his command in the environment in which he has been placed. At the head of the Exposition clas sification has been placed Education , through which man enters social life. Second comes Art , showing the condi tion of his culture and development. Liberal Arts and Applied Sciences are placed third , to indicate the result of his education and culture , illustrate his tastes and. demonstrate his inventive genius , scientific attainment and artis tic expression. These three depart ments equip him for the battle and prepare him for the enjoyments of life. The raw material departments. Agri culture , Horticulture. Mining and For estry , show howdan conserves the forces of nature to his uses. The De partment of Manufactures will show what he has done with them ; the De partment of Machinery the tools ho has used. The Department of Trans portation will show how he overcomes distances and secures access to all parts of the world. The Department ? of Electricity will indicate the great forces he has discovered and utilized to convey power and intelligence. And so through the several departments to Anthropology , in which man studies man ; and to Social Economy , which will illustrate the development cf the human race , how it has overcome the difficulties of civilization and solved problems in which society is involved. Last is placed physical culture , in which man. his intelligence having reached the supreme point , is able to treat himself as an ar-hnal. realizing that his intellectual an : ! moral consti tutions require a sound physical body to prompt them to the proper perform ance of their function. Education Is the keynote of the Uni versal Exposition-of 1904. Each de partment t.'f the world's labor and de velopment will be represented at St JLouSs. classified and Installed in such manner that all engaged or Interested in such , branch of activity may come and see , examine , study and go away - advised. Each of the separate apptrorw ; of the Exposition will be an equivalent of or. rather , will be In actuality a comprehensive and mos effective ob ject lesson in the line of industrial and social achievement and progress which its presents. Coot cf Seeing the World's Fair. From any point within 300 miles of St. Louis n riM-son may travel to the World's F.r : : - r'T. view the won ders cf the exposition for l.r - . ' vg rind expend the same money he wnud pay in any other year for train fare nlone. This is an absolute fact. The Western Passenger Association has agreed on a ten day excursion rate. 2oO miles or more from St. Louis , for one and one-fifth faro for the round - ALL THE STATES AT THE WORLD'S FAIR. Many Beautiful Pavilions and Pretsn- tious Buildings Show Forth the Enterprise of American Commonwealths. A beautiful city has grown up among the trees on the World's Fair grounds at St. Louis. It has nothing to do with the Immense exhibit palaces , but is a thing apart. The houses in this new city are of various styles of architec ture. Some are palatial in size and ap pearance , while others look merely cozy , and inviting. Never before have so many"notable and historic buildings been constructed in one group. This new city might be called the City of ( the States , for the houses included in it are the state buildings at the Fair. The city is not compact , but some what straggling , as betits the pictur esqueness of the view. Yet there is nothing suggestive of a Stringtown- on-the-Pike about this city , for the grounds surrounding each of the houses are beautified with gardens typical of the state represented. I | All the slates are to be represented at the World's Fair. This means a great deal , a shining triumph for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition , aud furnishes another illustration of the fact that this Exposition's complete ness is the marvel of the age. Fifty-one states , territories and pos sessions of the United States have taken thesteps necessary to partici pate in the World's Fair on an impor tant scale. But two states were still' outside the fold at the last report , and in each of these was a well defined movement in favor of being represent ed at the Fair with buildings and ex hibits. New Uampshi-e. the old home state , and Delaware ? are the states re ferred to. In New Hampshire a fund for participation is being raised pri vately by p./.ri : > ; ' ; - citizens , so that in the CVOJH of legislative inaction this common v.i > al tli : : : ; . < > o represented.

This is a million and a third more than was expended at the Chicago exposition by the states. In addition to this , large cities in many slates will have municipal exhibits , ( he funds for which are not included in thrae fignivs. The nr.jnicip.il exi , 'oii : idea ir. i niiioly ruvcl. From a tuurlvr of the states there will be promim-ut county exhibits provided by special ap propriation of county funds. This City of the Stales presents a picture of surpassing beauty. .Mature has done mich to aid in the creation cf the picture. Never before li.ss any exposition boei able to grant sum ad vantageous sites for state buildings. The buildings are situated on a plateau about seventy-five feet higher than the level ground to the north upon which stand tlie main exhibit palaces. There are hills and ravines here and there , enabling the landscapists to lay out a most delightful pattern of roads and terraces and lawns. The smallest of the state building" is that of Arizona , which stands neai the southeastern entrance to the grounds. One cf the largest is that of Missouri , from the dome of which it is said that perhaps the very finest view of the Exposition may be enjoyed. This building is a palace in the Italian re naissance architecture , built at a cr t of § 103,000 Near by is the reproduc tion of the Cabildo at New Orleans , in which the Louisiana Purchase transfer ceremonies took place Louisiana's state building. Ohio has a clubhouse of highly ornate design , in the architec ture of the French renaissance. Illi nois Is prominent with a most pre tentious structure , with wide verandas and a commanding cupola. A description of each oi' the state buildings , with any detail , would more than fill a newspaper page. It Is ony ! possible here to hint at some of the interesting structures. California , for instance , has reproduced In exact si.-.e the famous old La Habida Missi-vi Connecticut presents a replica cf the Sigourney residence at Hartford..hoe : of the poetess Lydia Eluntley Sigour ney in her time. This building is said to be the finest specimen of purely colonial architecture now standing. The Xew Kentucky Home , fix in the Blue Grass State , is a handsome club house that would make some of the mansions along Fifth avenue New York city , look insignificant. Her.u- voir. the quaint old house which . ; ot- ferson Davis owned and occupied for many years , is reproduced by Mis.-Js- sippi. Its wii'o verandas or gfllle : er. give it a most inviting appearance. Washington's headquarters ; at .Morris- town. N. . } . . are reproduced by Xo-.v Jersey.

Ample hotel accommodations have been provided for the World's Fair visitors at St. Louis both within and outside of the Exposition grounds. The Exposition management has or ganized a frea information service. A pamphlet has been issued for gratui tous circulation explaining many of the conveniences that have been pro vided. A list of all the hotels , with rates , is contained in this pamphlet. The entire city has been canvassed , and many thousands of private bouse- ' roitnox OF VAKIFD tKDrsruics i ixu.

These ! : o.se3 are in every sjition j of the city , and the rates at which i guests will be received is a matter of record on the books of the bureau. The Inside inn. a hotel on the Ex position grounds , has a capacity for G.OOO guests. The Exposition manage ment has control of the rates , which have been fixed at from $1. ; " > 0 to § 3.r 0 per day. European plan , including ad mission to the grounds. On the Amer ican plan the rates range 'from ? 3 to $ . " per day. The hotel is 400 by SOO feet and is three stories high. There are more than 130 established hotels in St. Louis , and a signed agree ment has been maue between nuny of ' their managers with the Exposition of- . ficials that rates r.hall not be raised i during the Exposition period. Many i new hotels have been built on sites ad- jacent to the Exposition grounds , and I the published fixed rales warrant the assertion that no one need pay ex , > r- | bitant rates for accommodations " . .her at hotels or private houses. Among the new hotels may be men tioned the IIolcl Napoleon Bonaparte , which stands at Clayton avenue and Skinker road , overlooking the Exposi tion grounds. This hostelry will ac commodate J3.0CO persons. The rates , j European plan , are from $1 to $5 p-r day. The Grand View hotel , soulh of the Exposition , on Oakland avenuo. baa a capacity for H.COO guests , and the i rates are $1 to ? 1.30 per day , European , and $2 to $2.0 per day on the Amer ican plan. The Kenilworth. on West ' Park boulevard and Billon avenue , h is | a capacity of l7f > OQ guests , with u rate of $1.50 per day. The above mentioned are a few of the new hotels that have been erected near the Exposition grounds for the accom modation of World's Fair visitors. All iold there are about twos core. All are within easy walking distance , and all are situated on high ground , with com prehensive views of the grounds. All of the structures are well built , and in some of them the most luxurious quar ters are obtainable. The rales are es tablished and will not be increased dur ing the Exposition.

The herd of Jersey cows assembled at the World's Fair at St. Louis to rep resent the Jersey breed in the universal dairy test has been inspected and has been pronounced in perfect condition and ready to start upon their six months' grind on a day's notice. W. II. Spann of the Burr Oak Jersey farm , Dallas. Tex. , was the inspector , and he was thorough in his work. IIo passed a week on the Exposition grounds , and much of the time was spent in and around the Jersey cattle barn , and the condition of each indi vidual of the herd of forty cows was definitely ascertained. Never.was more intelligent and care ful treatment lavished on animals. No ; iy.ilete was ever belter trained for a contest requiring the development of speed , skill and endurance than has been this herd of Jerseys. V hen it is known that this herd is to coi.ipete with selected herds of Ilolsteins. Short horns. Drown Swiss and Devous. and the herd making the best score for the production of butter , milk and cheese is to establish the stand.ng of the various breeds , the importance of the cows being in perfect condition i.y : be understood. For a solid year the Jerseys have been in constant training. Twenty- five cows will participate in the con test. Cows were selected from the best herds in the United Slates. Dr. J. J. Richardson , president of the AmcritMi Jersey Cattle Club , un der who.-.o : 'Upices this entry is mde : toured Europe and visited the faint. : ] Isle of Jei > ey , where the breed on i naled. lie was seeking the best cows , but returned satisfied that Europe could show no cows that werfc better than those bred in America. Though only twenty-five cows will participate Fii the tost , forty co\ys were selected , 'they were assembled at Jerseyvilie , 111. , a year ago. This is near St. Louis , and the cattle have be come acclimated. Last December they were removed to St. Louis. The cows . are the property of individual members of the club and are loaned for ihe term i of the test. C. T. Graves , a breeder at Maitland. Mo. , was selected as the superintendent to have charge of the cattle , aud he has been highly com plimented by Dr. Richardson aud In spector Spann for the wonderfully fine condition in which he has placed the herd. A series of model dairy barns have been built for the breeds competing in the test. The barns are octagonal in form , and are so arranged that the cows are in the center and a wide promenade permits visitors to pass around and view the cows as they stauJ in their stalls. The milking and feeding are to be done in plain view of the public , and representatives of the various herds will at all t mes have access to all the barr.s to SIP ch.it no sharp prar-rleerj are UKHired in. The test : : o : only consists in shov ing the amount of butter , milk and cheese ' produced , but the cost of pro duction is li.l.en into consideration. Every ounce of food given each cow is weighed and carefully recorded. When the. cows anmilked , the milk is con veyed to a model creamery in the Ag ricultural building , where it is tested and made into butter and cheese and where all n cords are carefully kept. The Jersey cattle participated in a similar lest : U Chicago during the Co lumbian -position and carried o2" first honors. Buperintc\'ent : Graves is sanguine over the re.s'.lt of the present test. Ho says thtt I lie Jerseys have always demonstrat ( 1 their superiority over all other breeds when placed in competi tion , and tl.v. tune they will show to better advaire ! than ever. Not only i ? the Jersi" milk richer in butter fat t'a.in the nil I ; of any other breed , says Mr. Graves , but it can be produced at a less cost. The Jersey cows are the smallest of the standard breeds , and he asserts tliat they consume less feed. They as.similr.te their food , aud it is converted ir.to milk and butter and is not used in building up and sustaining a large carcvss. " \Ve are going to make all other breeds take to the woods after this test. " said Mr. Graves. "A few days ago 1 was testing some of our Jersey milk , and i.-y hands were all sticky air ! sre.isy f"orn the euormous amount cf butter fat the milk contained. Mr. Yen Ileyne. who Is in charge of the noic-leins. s. nt over a quantity of his milk for me to lest. Of course , from a commercial st-.iKlpoint. there was no comparison between the milk , but it was a pleasure to test his milk , for when I got through there was no grease on my hands. After this I will harp a bucket of Ilolstein milk around handy to wash my hands in after tP3-M2 our own rich Jersey milk. " Th nM 1-e.i'inr May 1G and contin- . ues 120 days. Unique California Map.
