ABERDEEN, CHEHALIS COUNTY, WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1893

their various mottoes, have secured space
at the Chicago World's fair for a special
exhibit. There will be on display a speci-

center of the space devoted to the ex
hibit. The monument is 40 foet high,
and the walls are black, the woodwork
being all ebonized and ornamented in
gilt. The choragic monument was a
building erected by a victorious chorus
leader for the exhibition of the tripod
received as a prize in the musical con
tests in Athens.
Virginia's World's Fair ISuilding.
The Old Dominion State will bo repre
sented at the World's fair in character
istic fashion. Her building will partake
largely of the antique, and the observant
visitor may trace a close resemblance be
tween it and the residence at Mount Ver
non. There is the same broad porch and
massive square pillars. Tho structure is
low, being but two full stories in height,
with an attic and a small cupola, from
which an excellent view of the busy
scene on tho World's fair grounds may
be obtained. The exhibit will include
every product, mineral and vegetable,
which contributes to the material pros
perity of Virginia. There will also be
taany interesting historical souvenirs
with which the state which has been
called "The Mother of Presidents"
abounds.
THE VIRGINIA BUILDING.
It is believed that the World's fair will
have the effect of presenting Virginia in
an attractive light as a field for the in
vestment of .northern and foreign capi
tal. The state has made wonderful
strides forward in recent years, and
many flourishing towns and villages now
stand where but a short time ago there
was nothing but unoccupied land which
waa regarded as worth next to nothing.
The Virginians intend to remove tho im
pression that they are standing still, and
to judge by the manner in which they
have set about their task they bid fair
to be successful.
The Fisheries Exhibit.
Enthusiastic pisciculturists declare
that the fisheries exhibit at Chicago will
be a world's fair in itself. The building
is admirably arranged to display the
finny tribes to 'the best advantage, and
marine plants, shells and artificial rock
work will add realism to the glass sided
tanks through which visitors will behold
tho watery wonders. Adequate provi
sion has been made for supplies of both
salt .and fresh water, and great care lias
been taken to preserve the life and health
of the fish. For illuminating the various
aquaria at night 750 incandescent lamps
will be used. Nearly all the light in the
buDding will come through tho water in

tanks will not bo visible the'effcct'will

deep sea monsters, whales and others
whose bulk or habits make their trans
portation impossible, almost every sort
of creatures living in the waters will be
represented.

One of the most unique Qxhibits in the
department of mines and mining is con
tributed by the state of Kentucky It
is a sort of pavilion which is certain to
attract the attention of visitors. This
pavilion will have a iacade 25 feet high
mado of polished coal. Kentucky's
mineral resources will of course be ade
quately represented, but her banner ex
hibit will be tho representation in mini
ature of the Mammoth cave. A cham
ber 00 feet by 200 beneath the main
floor of tho building will be devoted to
tho reproduction of tho cave, and the re
sources of art and science will be taxed to
the utmost to make the illusion perfect.
Tho negro guide who has escorted so
many thousand visitors through tho ac
tual cave will be brought on to explain
the beauties of the exhibit.

Some of the pavilions and other struo
tures erected in the building by the dif
ferent states will be particularly attract
ive, and not the least beautiful of these
will be the one contributed by Michigan,
which will serve to show that the Wol
verine State possesses natural sources
of wealth outside of its lumber foresta
Her pavilion will be of sandstone and
marble, in the Florentine style of archi
tecture. One feature of it will be a huge
copper globe 12 feet in diameter, with an
outline map of the world etched upon it.
Ohio will build her pavilion entirely
of the minerals found within her borders,
and it will be a splendid illustration of
her resources in that respect.
Among the numerous spectacular ex
hibits will be pi silver shaft 80 feet high
from New South Wales, a shaft of an
thracite coal 62 feet high from Pennsyl
vania, a granite pillar 18 feet high from
the richest quarry in New York and an
opalescont grotto representing the crys
tal caves of Central America built by
the government of Honduras.
Philadelphia has again consented to
lend her precious relic, the famous old
Liberty bell, and it will be transported
to Chicago on an open platform car with
four trusty policemen to guard it. It was
taken to the New Orleans cotton ex-
position in a very quiet way, but on this
trip it will be exhibited in every con
siderable city along the route. It is now
a silent bell indeed and can no longer
"proclaim liberty," as its inscription di
rects, by sound, but the sight of it will
fire the patriotic heart.

To Cross the Ocean In a Viking Ship and
Visit the Fair.
Just in time for the Chicago World's
fair, so apropos as to seem like a provi
dence, an original viking ship, 17+ feet
| long and 16J feet wide, has been un
, earthed. The discovery is an antiqua
rian romanco in itself. From early days

viking or Norse sea king was buried long

email port of .Norway, and that his ship
was buried with him. The learned, how
ever, decided that the mound was nat
ural, and only sailors and peasants be
lieved in the old saga tale. In the win
ter of 1879-80, however, a sailor in
Sandefjord declared his belief in the
story, and that he would prove it true.
He began sinking a shaft, as miners say,
and in a few feet struck solid oak planks,
as the surface of the mound had weath
ered away considerably, and he was for
tunate enough to. begin at the right spot.
The discovery was hailed with delight
in all Scandinavia, and now the hardy
sailors of Norway purpose to prove that
Leif Ericsson could have crossed the At
lantio in such a vessel 1,000 years ago by
doing the same thing in May, 1893. The
original vessel was found to be remarka-

cleared away in 1880, and in it was tlio
Bkeloton of a man with arm 3 and armor
complete. These wero shown to be the
kind in use in the year 1,000 or therea
bouts. Tho relic is preserved by the
University of Christiania, but a perfect
reproduction of it has been mado, and
Captain Magnus Anderson, with 30 men,
is to bring it to Chicago. Three times as
many sailors volunteered as were need
ed, though the voyage will bo no light
task, as there must bo a good deal of
rowing done. The new vessel has no
deck and has oars 17 feet long. If suc
cessful, it will remain some time in New
York and then go to Chicago by the St.
Larvrunco ana vveliand canal.
Colorado's World's Fair Iluildiuß.
Colorado doesn't relish tho idea of be
ing considered an exclusively mining re
gion, and sho proposes to show tho vis
itors to the World's fair that sho is also
a great agricultural state. This deter
mination will make Colorado's exhibit
one of the most unique in that vast ag
gregation of novelties. The building is
in the style of Spanish renaissance. It is
two stories high and has a roof of un
glazed red Spanish tiles. It has hanging
balconies on both sides and a grand bal
cony in front. The building will cost
$80,000. It will cover a square of 125
feet. The agricultural portion of tho
Colorado exliibit will be under a pavilion
80 feet long, 40 feet wide and 23 feet
high, every foot of its interior surface cov-

ered with grain. The columns will be
wrapped with cereals in the straw, the
arches will be covered with grasses, and
the frieze will be composed of a series of
pictures wrought in colore J grains. On
one table a pyramid of glass boxes will
show the comparative amount of grain
grown each year since 1874. There will
be v 4OO varieties of wheat, 125 of native
grasses, 100 of oats and 85 each of barley
and rye. There will be timothy heads
10 inches long, bunches of clover 2 feet
high and many other surprising growths
rendered possiblo by irrigation. Of course
the mining exhibit of Colorado will be a
notable affair and will excite wonder
among eastern anfa foreign visitors.
Informatlon For World's Fair Visitors.
The bureau of public comfort of the
World's fair in its plans has assumed
that nearly all visitors will prefer to take
their meals from day to day wherever it
may be convenient. It announces as
part of its scheme that from 50,000 to
100,000 people can be served with meals
daily within tho exposition grounds
alone —an estimate considerably below
the figures of the ways and means com
mittee, which calculates upon a service
for at least 200,000 people in emergen
cies.
The press is requested to announce, as
a safeguard for tho public, that the ex
position has only one department author
ized to make contracts for rooms or fur
nish information about them. Tho bu
reau's office is at World's fair headquar
ters in the Rand-McNally building, Chi
cago, and communications addressed to
W. Marsh ICasson, its chief, will receive
immediate attention.
The Color of Teeth.
Dentists say that a great difficulty they
meet with in their work is the matching of
false teeth with the natural teeth of their
customers. The tootli factories supply den
tists with samplo teeth that run all the
way from nearly white to a shade that is
almost olive. Some of these usually match
the patient's teeth, and at any rate enable
the dentist to match them by application
to tho factory.
The ltesfc Way to Kepin Dinner.
A doctor says that the proper commence
ment of dinner should be the old fashioned
dish of good soup, and for the reason that
it is necessary that the llrst food taken at
dinner should be quickly absorbed, so as to
stimulate the nervous system and give tone
to the stomach.
TYPICAL OF CALIFORNIA.
A Colossal Statue to He Exhibited at the
World's Fair.
California's state building at the Chi
cago World's fair stands near the Fifty
ninth street entrance and is a reproduc
tion of one of the old Dominican mission
chapels of southern California. The
architect departed from the original only
to interject enough of the more ornate
Moorish style to
relieve the som
ber effect. The
building is a clear
story, with a
great flat dome
as a crowning
feature, and the
semitropical ap
pearance will be
heightened by
roof gardens. The

feet. In this building Schmid's colossal
figure, typical of California, will be a
feature. It was recently exhibited in
San Francisco, where it created much
favorable comment.
The statue only suggests, of course, the
general characteristics of the state, as it
was impossible to do more, especially
with a state of such remarkably varied
climates, products and characteristics as
California. In every one of the main
buildings California will have exhibits,
but will excel, of course, in tho depart
ments of fruits and fiowefs, minerals and
semitropical productions generally. A
particularly interesting display will bo
that of the relics, where all the history of
mining will bo shown, from the pan and
the rocker to tho days when individual
miners gave place to large companies.
A Queer World's Fair Visitor.
A couple of years ago Herman Zeitung,
an Austrian tailor, created a wild sensa
tion in Europe by having himself nailed
in a box and shipped from Vienna to

Paris. Since then he has traveled in his
peculiar way to all of the large European
capitals. In St. Petersburg he had a
narrow escape from being sent to Siberia.
The police mistook him for a dangerous
anarchist, and it was only by the inter
vention of the Austrian consul that he
was at last released. His experience
does not seem to have frightened him
much, however, for on his release some
one suggested that he ought to go to
Chicago to the World's fair, and he im
mediately had himself boxed up and ex
pressed to Paris, whence he expects to
reach the seacoast in some way or other,
and there secure transportation to this
side of the Atlantic. Zeitung is a harm
less crank about 30 years of age. He
made considerable money after his first
trip by exhibiting himself in Paris, and
he will probably adopt the same plan at
the World's fair to recompense him for
the inconvenience and discomfort Of his
queer trip to Chicago. _ v

The population of Manitoba is about
175,000, of whom 10,000 are thrifty,
hardy and honest Icelanders. Besides a
few Mennc. iiOfi, Indians and halfbreeds,
the rest of tho inhabitants are native
Canadians and Englishmen. It is only
natural that such a prosperous commu
nity should desiro to be properly repre
sented at the World's fair, and therefore
when the Dominion of Canada devoted
the space assigned to it by tho commis
sioners to a building which is very little
more than a clubhoufo the Manitobans
promptly arranged to put up a building
of their own .lust outside the World's
fair grounds. The structure will be four
stories in height and 90 by 40 feet in di
mensiond, with a square tower in the
center. It is an exhibition hall and a
hotel combined, with capacity to enter
tain at least 500 people and exhibition
room for many specimens of jsveryJljinjr
pro'aucefi Hi tne province. Wheat ana
other small grains, grasses, native and
cultivated, fish, furs and game will be
the chief articles exhibited, but the Win

display of relics. Hon. Jamos A. Smart,
Manitoba's commissioner for the fair, is
a young man of great energy, and hav

public works for the province he is thor

Guatemala's World's Fair Exhibit.
Jackson park, scene of the coming
World's fair, is just now the busiest
place in the country. Along the Midway
plaisance 52 buildings are being rapidly
hastened to completion. Elsewhere the
finishing strokes are being giveu to many
more. Passenger conveyances are ex
cluded from the park, as all tile space is
needed for materials, and tho 'sound of
hammer and saw is heard from dawn
till far into the night, for every con
tractor proudly declares that all his work
shall be done and everything in place

Tho exhibits of the leading nations
may be taken for granted, but those of
some of tho minor nations will be of in
terest for their unique character. Gua
temala, for instance, has decided -not to
compete with her neighbors in lines
where they are confessedly richer than
she, but to confine her display almost
entirely to productions in which she is
likely to excel. Her building,'recently
completed at a cost of $20,000, is a beau-
tiful structure in the style of archtecture
of the official buildings of the country.
The tropical garden with which it is to
be surrounded will be very interesting.
It will include a small coffee plantation,
to be worked by natives, which will ex
emplify the cultivation of the berry in
all its stages, and from a pretty pavilion
the hot b:~ .'erage will be served free to
all visitors.
Gold, silver, mercury and other met
als, mahogany, logwood and other woods.,
all sorts of coloring matters and tropical
plants will go to make up this little repub
lic's exhibit. The Guatemalan commis
sioners are also anxious to bring out their
national band of lOOj performers and
have them give concerts. Guatemala
has appropriated $200,000 for her exhibit
and expects to raise more.
Carl L. Lehman of Chicago has-de
signed a spiral tower which he would
like to see erected on the grounds of the
World's fair. There are no details as to
dimensions, but it is explained that pas
sengers will be carried to the top by
means of a small railroad inside. This
proposed novel structure is thus de
scribed by the New York Safety Power:
"The spiral is from bottom to top, having
no supplemental support above the foun
dation. The woights and the iron and
steel trasswork have been so calculated
as to leave a large margin of safety, ev-
THE PROPOSED SPIRAL TO WEB,
erything being based on well known and
proved formulas of stress and supportable
6train. There is to be a terrace extending
from bottom to top, a pavilion and gallery
at the top, observatories or galleries at
suitable intervals apart and a spiral road- <
way around the outside of the terrace.
The tower has a foundation of masonry
and terrace, the cross section of which
is a trapezoid, a spiral roadway project
ing from the bottom of the terrace and a
railway track within the terrace."
