I'AIMS, Aug. 17. It wiih an admirable
Idea for tlin exhibition authorities to group
In tlin Mime- building t ha departments of
forestry, Hsblng ami hunting. Tliu biuiiu In
illvliluiil Ih not necessarily Interested In nil
these subjects, but at leant thuro lit n pic

them, all or which makes t lit) combined dis
play extremely Interesting ami effective.

steps to tbo furthermost enil of the Champ

of tbo bill Jiih at tbo water's edge, tliu
architect designed a lower story which
Hhoiibl be on a level with tliu terrace border
ing the river. TIiIh plan afforded a con

I he general exhlhU, further facilitated by
the erection of an extensive gallery running

Looking out, as If awaiting tliu chance to

bear, foxeH, wolves and tbu countless deni

trees overhead aru weighed down with
winged creatures of every size ami raco,

Is a Hurt of vestibule HUggcHtlon of tbo ninny
things within.
Tbo main area, running all the width of
the building and stretching hack to a depth
of about l'.Ti feet, Is occupied by the French
exhibit. Naturally It Ih far and away tbu
largest, but II Ih not by any ineatiH tliu most
varied or comprehensive. This Is easily un
derstood; Indeed, It Is a matter of surprise,
(hat Franco, not much bigger than ouu of
our slates and occupied by a population of
Ilii.OOO.OOO. should have any forest stretches
at all or that (hero should bo any wild
animals Hi 11 1 left In a country so overrun
with the human species. The French ex
hibit, however. Is rich In samples of tim
ber and contains a varied and multitudinous
representation of the sea, river and stream
llsh of tbu country that atones for tliu pan
city of big and little game.
lulled St ii lew to the I'lirc,
As usual, the United States Is well to tliu
foro ami Is, Indeed, almost unique among the
exhibiting nations in the respect that her
display rovers with the utmost Impartiality
tliu three classes for which the building Is
designed. Once again she has been treated
with marked favor by the exhibition author
ities, who have allotted to the United States
all the circular space at tliu far end of tho
long gallery, which, for area and promi
nence, surpasses that of nearly all tho other
countries.
When tho visitor reaches the American
section he Is Impressed with the excellent
taste and striking appropriateness of the
decorations and disposition of tliu exhibits.
From celling and the walls hang huge llsh
ermen'H nets, Implements of tliu chase, etc.,
ami the headH of antlered stags and big
woolly buffaloes add Immensely to the gen
eral decorative design. Tho walls aru partly
wainscoted In representative. American
woods. The collection of American game
lilrdH Ih tho largest In all tbu vast building
and there Is a veritable menagurlo of the
animals of forest, mountain and prairie.
Tho piscatorial section is most coinplole
and Interesting. Tho United States llsh
commission Is represented by a very com
prehensive exhibit. A model Is shown of a
big HhIi hatchery on Lake Kilo nnd of tho
car of tbu commission, illustrutlng tho meth
ods of transporting tho living llsh for trans
planting, otc. Tho commission also sonds
threu large showcases flllod with models of
every variety of American llsh, two-thirds
of which, oven edlblo ones, nro absolutely
unknown to Europeans.
An admirable exhibit Is also sent by the
statu of Massachusetts In tliu shape of an
enormous model of a Gloucester llshery,
representing tho port of harbor, tho
wharves, buildings, llako yardB, marine rail
way, otc, nnd lying In tho harbor tho illf
forotit class of craft employed In tho In
dustry. l,oliM-r lniluHtrj.
Ono Inrgu showcase. Is devoted to a demon
stration of tho Atlnntlc coast lobster Indus
try, showing tliu method of catching tbu
Hiicculent crustacean and displaying tho life
sized model of tho biggest lobster over
caught off tho Now Jersoy shoro, which Is
legarded by European visitors as a species
of sea elephant. A fishermen's outllt of
twenty years ago Is shown In comparison
with the devices employed by him at this
end of tbo century.
Tho exhibit of American Bhotguns and
rlllus Is thoroughly representative of the
chief mauufacturers and dealers throughout
all parts of tho United States. Many quaint
or picturesque little details Invest their dis
play with exceptional Interest. Ono of
these, for lustnncu, Is a steol plato about
fourteen Inches long by eight Inches wide
and a quarter of uu Inch In thickness, on
which Is shown tho head of an Indian chief.
Upon Investigation ono discovers that tho
outlines nro perforated nnd a label rovcals
that tbo plato served as a target at a ills
tanco of thirty-flvo feet, when tho nrtlst
inarkBtnnn blnzed nway nt It with a certain
make of American rlllo loaded with a small
callhro hullot.
Ono corner of tho American section Is do
voted to a dlpp'ay of woods from tho United
States, shown by polished and unpolished
slabs, as well as by a series of photographs

When tbo Judges visited tho forestry

Impressed by Canada's timber exhibit and
that country was awarded the first prize
for the forest products.
England's exhibit consists simply of Im

shows only an ordinary collection of bunt

Instinctive exposition of her forest and bird

Short and to the Point
When Charles Dudley Warner was edi
tor of the Iliuiford I'nss In the early
'00'h ho was accustomed to write his edi
torials upon the war with such fervid haste
that all considerations of handwriting were
banished from his mind. The Hartford
Courant recalls a good story of the rosuL.
One day a typesetter left the composing
room and appealed by tho editor's desk.
'.Mr. Warner," ho said. "I've dei ided lo
enlist in tho army."
With mingled emotions of prblo and re
sponsibility. Mr. Warner replied that It
pleiiHed him that tho man felt the call to
duty.
"Oh, It Isn't that," said the truthful
compositor, "but I'd rather be shot than
set your copy."
Tho Haltliunre Americnn traces this bit
of local color:
Shu wept.
"Oh, you editors aro horrid," sbo sobbed.
"What Is tliu trouble, madam'."' Inquired
tho editor, ns be blue-penciled two para
grrpbs that had cotno ns nn Inspiration to
tho young man who was "taking up Jour
nalism." "Why, I boo boo I sent In nn obituary
of my husband, and boo boo nnd snld
In It that ho hnd been married for twenty
years," and you oooo boo hoo your
printers set It up 'worried for twenty
years.' "
She wept.
Hut the editor grinned.
I'i rhnps it was all right, all 'round.
Who knows?
Two liars met on the street, reports the
ilanta Journal.
Tot enough for you?" asked one.
No' This is wlnlir," leplled the other,
compared to what I suffered In Cuba."
Hut It was hotter In l'orto Klco. where I
was "
'Get out. It couldn't bo any hotter than
was In Cuba. I saw a man In Santiago
i ne day lean against a brick wall and In
the minutes ho was cooked to a cracklln"."
Thai's nothing," said the l'orto Hlcan
liar "It is Just that hot on the seacoast
of l'orto Klco. I'eli'ans down there In
I'lituc get cooked llsh by simply dropping
their prey on a rock and holding II there
fi r a minute. In the Interior people don't
haw conk stoves. They use the tin roofs
if i hi lr houses."
It must he rather sultry down tin re,"
a n.ttted the Cuban liar, "but In Cuba It Is
hot 1 till you. When they want a barbecue
'luy Just knock a beef In the head. He
falls to the ground ami Is Immediately
roaMed Then they pull a few boiled co
iir ut.s off the trees and have their feast."
t this point In the discussion several
timid citizens who had been listening turned
tip their collars ami began shivering from
the chilly atmospheru of Atlanta. One
walked Into a clothing store and called (or
an overcoat.
Tho two liars went across the street to
look at tho drug store thermometer. When
they found It registered only '.ill degrees
they strolled Into a nearby saloon and
called for hot-scotches.
