CANADA'S PRODUCTS AT THE j ' WORLD'S FAIR. ; Natural and Developed Resources of the Country Artistically Kxhibii- < cd?Agricultural Products, Ores, Coal and Manufactures From the Atlantic to the Pacific. 1 Canada has mado a display at the World's { Fair which admirably serves it-? purpose of , illustrating the natural and developed re- j sources of her own vast territory. No de- < partment 01 tne imposition, says tne unicaffo Herald, has boon slighted nv Canada. Each big building contains a comprehensive exhibit, installed according to the best methods that could be employed to make it attractive. Possessed of resources so nearly similar to those of this country that but slight distinctions can be drawn, Canada has been animated by the spirit of competition more keenly, porhups. than any other Nation represented at Jackson Park. She has given special attention to the rtispliy of her agricultural products, upon which she prides herself most. She has not neglected, either, the treasures hidden beneath her broad domain, as can bo aeon in the Mining Building. Great care has been taken by the Dominion official to properly present the display in the Agricultural Building. A beautiful court covering 7000 square feet and rising twentyflve feet from the floor, stands, a model of its kind, on the north side of the center aisle. It is surmounted by a handsome trophy and by a large stuffed deer from the llocky Mountains. The curtain which surrounds the court on four sides is made entirely of grain and straw tastefully and artistically arranged. DISPr.AVS BY PROVINCES. At the west corncr of tho court, Ontario, the banner province of the Dominiou, has a large and tastefully arranged display. A handsome pavilion, made entirely of cereals and grasses from the Ontario Government Acripnltiirii.1 Collacp .it C?elnh. is admired bv i ail visitors. Samples of grain in glass jars j constitute a beautiful trophy which rises to 1 a height of fully thirty-live feet. The dis- c play of grain and cereals from the province 1 of Quebec is one of tho most beautiful in the i \ /A NAD I AN COUBT IN KAN section. There is also a prutty showing of 1 maple sugar and syrup, which are two staple t products of this province. The display of s grains and cereals from the great grain- e growing areas of the northwest show the v splendid quality and extensive variety of d these staples from the storehouse ot the Do- t minion. There is also a splendid exhibit of n furs and stuffed birds which adds largely to t the attractiveness of the display. The maritime provinces of the Dominion show splen- I did exhibits of cereals and grains. Here is u the mammoth Canadian cheese which at- e tracts general attention. There is also a c display of biscuits, cheese, mineral and 1 aerated waters, bacon and hams. In the an- f nex of the Agricultural Building, Canada has o a large display of agricultural machinery. ii WHEBE COTTON IS BEOENT. Canada has outdone her mother country ? In the neat and pretty curtains she has erec- " ted around her section in the Manufactures 0 Building. The section is on the west side of a Columbia avenue, with Great Britain on her 9 north, Denmark on the south, and Belgium 0 on the east across the avenue. Every foot of r 16,000 square feet of space is crowded with 8 manufactured goods from all parts of Canada. 1 There are a great many lines of manufac- 1 turod products in the Canadian court which F will compare favorably with those of the T! older, more populous and more pretentious * manufacturing countries. The cotton king 0 has been at work in the Dominion, and in a two long, well-flnished native wood IJ cases are most tastefully arranged many of the products of the Canadian ootton mills. Cotton fabrics of all kind are shown, and textile goods oceupy a prominent place. Tweeds, meltons, braids silk thread and carpets are also extensively exhibited. Gloves, hosiery, underwear and ready-made clothing are tastefully arranged In glazed cases made of Canadian elm, birch and cherry. Two very pretty cases are filled with specimens of women's work from different parts of the Dominion. Thero is also a creditable exhibit of sole and harness leather. Scales, stoves and hollow ware, water hoaters, horseshoes, stove polish, screens, rivets, spades, shovels and an immense array of lilco articles meet the eye in every direction. An exhibit of circular and band saws of almost every pattern has attracted much attention, and it is doubtful whether in this department Canada is sur passed. A creditable display of boots and shoes occupies a prominent position. INDIAN EXHIBITS RY INDIANS. At the west side of Canada's space Is a very interesting and instructive exhibit made by the Department of Indian Affairs at Ottawa. Hero, with the teachers, are a number of Indian boys and girls from the Government Indian schools in the distant northwest of Canada, These young people daily pursue their routine work just as if they were at home In their schools. All around are the products of the civilized Indian?grain that he has sown, tilled and harvested, (lour that he has ground, roots and vegetables that ho j, has planted and cared for, manufactured r goods of many kinds that he has carefully t put together and samples of the work of the t school children of these Indian tribes under c the guardianship of the Civil Government, j. There aro also many curios of the warpath, ( the hunt and the trail. t MINEUAI. nESOUnCEH. T The display which (he Dominion makes in t the Mining Building is a fair index of the natural mineral resources of the country. The Canadian section comprises an area of 10,000 square feet, and is on the main floor, west of the central aisle, extending back under the west gallery. Canadian flags and f bunting give a gala day appearance to this i most interesting section. Upon entering the i largo central court the visitor is immediately t I interested by the great pyramids of gold I biocKS representing mo yieiuui ium [iioiiiuuj < metal throughout C:?nad:i since it w;is first ( disco wired in the far western province of s British Columbia. Tho tot:il yield of gold from British Columbia alone is estimated at 1 something over 553,000,000, while a.:rosa the 1 continent the surf beaten province of Nov.: r Scotia on the Atlantic has produced from her I t j gold deposits since 1864 over $7,610,000. In i tho banner province of Ontario extensive de- c posits of gold quartz are being worked, largely by American capitalists, and here the ] output is estimated at nearly $1,000,000 an- s nually. The samples of coal from British Colum- 1 bin show the excellent quality, both anthra- ( cite and bituminous, of the inexhaustible 5 coal fields of the I'aeiflo province. Black I diamonds are also taken out in large quanti- I ties in the province of Nova Scotia, and the t sparsely wooded and illimitable areas of 1 farming land in the great north wast of tho I Dominion have a plentiful supply of excel- I lent coal. The provinco of Novu Scotia < makes a poor show of coal samples despite ] the fact that she has some of the greatest coal areas on the continent. i The showing of nickel and nickel ore from ihe Sudbury district of Ontario is one which baa attracted universal attention, not only ~>l minim? experts but of naval officers. The luality of these ores can best be indicated by the result of the recent tests made by tne naval departments of Great Britain, Franco, Germany and the United States, in which Canadian nickel was found to have the greatest power of resistance, and was by all moans fho most suitable for the purpose of making armor plates for improved war vessels. A. FINE DISPLAY OF FK0IT3. The display which Canada makes in the Horticultural Building is one of the most im ponani ana attractive in mat aepanmeui ui ;he Fair. There are three Canadian courts levoted to fruit, vegetables and wine exhibits. An interesting feature of this splendid lisplay of fruit is that Canada not only excels in the variety and quality of the harder fruits peculiar to a Northern country, but her pears, peaches and the small fruits from Western Ontario are of that Arm, juicy charicter which at once places them in the first jrade of fine fruits. The province of Ontario has a large exhibt of over flvj hundred plates, embracing hirty-eigbt varieties of apples in a fresh itatc and 1400 bottles of various kinds of prelerved fruits. In the center of the court is a lisplay of fruits from the Government cental experimental farm at Ottawa. The province of Quebec has been more successful .han any of the of the other provinces in keepng a display of fresh winter apples, of which here are over seventy varieties. Nova Scotia's display of the different varieties of ipples from the famous Annapolis Valley is seyond criticism. The exhibit from British Columbia attracts much attention because of he Immense size of the apples and pears, rhore is also a great variety of the smaller 'ruits. Prince Edward Island, the northBrest territories and Manitoba have all credtable displays of the smaller fruits. In the vegetable court in the north pavilion is a display of last year's vegetables, contributed by ill the Canadian provinces and* the Government experimental farms of the Dominion. rhis is the only exhibit of vegetables in the lepartment of horticulture at the Exposition. IS TRAX8POTA.TION BUILDXNO. Canada's exhibit in Machinery Hall is located at the east end of the center floor, immediately opposite that of Great Britain. SVhile this exhibit has many features of pemliar interest to visitors, many important ines are absent, and a number of the largest nanufacturers are not represented at all. LtigAoOr i itffetfBTT OTiCTTTBES BtJrLDINO. ?here is a good display of automatic and raction engines, compound marine engine*, team injectors and exhausters, high spefxl ngines, flra engines, water wheels and rorking machinery of all descriptions. Tho lisplay of woodworking machinery is one of he finest at the Fair. The exhibit of brickaaking machines has attracted special atention. Tho Canadian exhibit in Transportation Suilding is on the main center floor annex nd in the west gallery. A feature of the xhibit consists of car couplers and chilled ar wheels, for which Canada is noted, 'here are also semaphores and headlights or yachts and vessels and a working model if the Chicago Ship railway, which 3 now being constructed across the Ifraits of Northumberland. This work when ompleted will shorteu the ocean trip ictween Montreal, Quebec and other ports in the lower St. Lawrence River and Boston nd Now York by hundreds of miles, beides avoiding the dangerous shores ot astern Nova Scotia. The exhibit of cariages, wagons, carts and trucks is fairly ood. Particular interest is manifested in he splendid exhibit of sleighs. In one of he courts is a beautiful model of the sleigh resented by the women of Canada as a wedine present to the Duke of York and the 'rincess May. It is a maguiflcent specimen f Canadian workmanship. The display Iso includes a large exhibit ot sporting and ileasure oanoes, folding boats, snow shoes, oboggans, etc., for which Canada, asthu canadian section. fisheries butldino. iomo of the sportsman, has a world-wide eputation. In the annex of the Transportaioa Building is a full standard vestibuled rain of the Canadian Pacific Railway, mtirely of Canadian manufacture, the cars leing made from native Canadian woods. )ne peculiarity about this exhibit is that he rr.iin was not built for exhibition urposes. but is an exact type of the regular rainy oil the Canadian Pacific Railroad. world's fair stock show.

COMMANDER-IX-CHIZF A. O. WEISSERT. The National Encampment parade of the G. A. R. veterans at Indianapolis brought a crowd of not less than 200,000 persons ii?to the city. The parade began at 11 o'clock in the morning and the last post passed the reviewing stand at 4.15 o'clock in the afternoon. Allowance, however, must be made for an hour's delay about noon. The parade, as arranged, provided for hundreds of the veterans who did not take part because of the long distance they would have to march in the heat and dust. The veterans who did not march were as many as those who did; and the number of marchers, on a conservative estimate, was from 20,000 to 25,000. Among the notable persons In the line were General J. Warren Keifer, of Ohio; General Lew Wallace, who murched with the McPherson Post of Crawfordsville ; General Wilder, of the famous Wilder's Brigade, and Past Commanders R. B. Beath, Wagner, Kountz, Vandervoort and Palmer. It was a veritable double Chinese wall of humanity through which the old soldiers nnaaM in tho throfl mllefl from aturt to fln ish. Aiong the entire route the spectators were massed from the ropes next to the building line, spreading over lawns, Ailing windows and porticos of residences and business blooks alike and in many cases preempting the roof. There was no lack of enthusiasm, and the special features of the parade were cheered to the echo from square to square. Numerous stands were crectod at points along the route, the official reviewing stand being placed on the grounds of the court-, house on East Washington. From here the veterans were reviewed by Coxmander-inChief Weissert. Ex-President Harrison stood on his right, and Generals Lucius Fairchiid, of Wisconsin, and Law Wallace, both of whom marched in line until the stand was reached, on his left. Each veteran 3aluted the Commanderin-Chief and the ex-President as they passed. The sessions of the Encampment began on the following day, and continued for three days. The Election of Ofllccrs..

The Kansas Stato Building exhibits a variety of the fauna, which have been so dexterously placed that one can icnagins a time when all lived in happy harmony ;*.nd when the carnivoru were feeding upon the diet oi Nebuchadnezzar. The Women's Building may be called an art gallery by itself. No where in all the exhibition is ?uch astonishing progress to be noticed as right here. The deft Anders, the correct eye, the artistic mind o? woman are shown everywhere. Amoxg the wonders observed by a correspondent at the Fair were shawls from India marked at #10,000 ; tea from Ceylon valued at $87 Der pound ; a diamond from the mines valued (and sold) at $100,000 ; a nugget of gold worth $500. and many others of virgin gold from $1 up tj the largest one. "Butchers' and Growers' Day" at the Fair was celebrated by tho representatives of those industries to the number of nearly 200 J. They assembled In front of the Administration Building and marehtfd to Festival Hall, where the National Convention of Grocers and Butchers of tho United States was held. The Forestry Exhibit is a study for tho naturalist, which it would take at least a full month for an expert to analyze and longer to describe. The loggingeamp gives one a view of pioneer life. The simplicity of bed and table, the few things thought necessary to supply the daily wants of the pioneer, his possible enjoyments and his provable deprivation are all revealed by the utensils of woodcraft and the ingenuity for am us 3m :nt in his isolation. Utah makes an exhibit in silk?. A mo3t magnificent robe de chambre. lit for au Emperor or an American citizen to wear, is a notable feature of the exhibit. Raw silks in various forms are also shown. Almost any part of North America in the temperate zone can produce silk. Hitherto the labor in its production has been too expensive lo make it profitable, but in Utah, where women and children are numerous and obedient, the production of silk is not only a possibility, but a fact.

More knowledge and information can bo gained froru one trip of thirty minutes than can be derived by walking around thegroundsa week. The failure to fully appreciate the buildings, their architecture and general design, is more often due to a lack of proper understanding in this respect-, which only a ride on the Intramural can give.
