Securing the concession at the fair, Ir. John v as enabled to carry out his scheme through the patriotism of two Treat Iicriia banks.

J. rcnmiat, 01 ununa. who had leen the means of adding 75.000 f iermans to the population of Kansas, would do his duty faithfully. That was t-nouh. After capital had made the idea of a German village feasible, an art and science committee proceeded to lay nit the plan of the exhibit. When Yin-how, rector of the universty of J'-erlin; Wallot, builder of the new liennan parliament hoiw: the painters liracht and Yon Ileyden, Director Yoss r.f Ilcrlin's I'.oval Ethnographic museum, and Meyer Ciion. art con noisseur and banker, put their heads together, the result can be foretold. arl liofTercker. architect to the Ger man imperial commission at the world's fair, designed the 7lans. and I'hii'.p Ilolman & Co.. one of U.e p-reatest buildin? firms in Kurope. had chartre of the buildi::rs. all of which were constructed in Germany and set up at l rankfort on the Main before be insr shipped to Chicago. How was this possible? because the frame work of these bui!ditip is stout timlH-r frnn the lllaek Forest so joined as to need no tiails except for interior details.

At the world's fair there is an incu bator made mostly of plass. It is on exhibition and is hatching chickens, ducks, etc., right along. It is placed in full view of the multitude and it i? a first -class object lesson. There may be seen eggs in the process of incuba tion, fresh epgs and t-pgs that hare just been placed in the machine. Then again there are epgs that are about ready to hatch: eggs that are pipped: eggs with chickens just coming out of thctu: empty egg shells, and little chickens just out of the shell. Then there are chickens that have been out a few hours and are dry and running about inside the incubator. In fact it is the hatching process laid bare so that the public can plainly see bow man in his ingenuity has devised a machine that does the work of the old lien of our grandmother's day. There are brooders there too that take care of the little chicks as soon as they snould leave the incubator. There i no old ben in sight, neither is there any crying for one on the part of the chickens. They are hatched in one machine and hovered in another, so all that is left now for the hens to do, where such mctlnxls are applied, is to lay eggs, machinery does the rest. PROGRESSIVE-BRAZIL.

Towering high above the rest of the foreign buildings that of the republic i f l!ra:il is conspicuous on the fair grounds as much from its size as its splendid appearance. The I'.razilian building is of staff, like most of the national buildings of the fair, and is painted white. The architecture is of the very purest French renaissance style, combining elegance with solidity. Laid out in the form of a Greek cross the building oc cupies an area of one hundred and fifty feet square.

THE EXHIBIT OF SWEDEN Of Great Interest to Workers in Iron and StaoL The Land Blade Great br Gnata Adnloh gtUl Maintains the Lead la Industrie Impendent oa the Skillful 3laiiipuLatloa of Metala. tSpecial World'a Fair Lrtier.l The hardy north is not inadequately represented at the world's fair, and though all the three countries which tog-ether compose that hyperborean re gion which we in America have come to call Scandinavia a name which has in reality neither geographical nor other claims to existence and which the natives and descendants of that huge domain scout and float hold less than ten millions of population, they have made an aggregate showing which excee!3 by far that of large and populous countries, 6uch as Austria, for instance. Pride of race had proba bly much to do with that, as well as that deep-seated jealousy of each other w hich one always finds most strongly developed in nations of the same blond and of closely allied history. Again, the strnrgle for Independence entire separation now waging in Norway has brought it about that the ex hibit made by the smaller sisteicoun try. Norway, is wholly sundered from that made by Sweden, not only in space but even in the matter of repre sentation, each country having a com mission that has worked independent of the other. The result is. in some respects, a favorable one. in others, however, distinctly deplorable. Sweden, aftervainly trying to obtain more space in Manufactures building than was originally allotted to her, erected her own hnge building, in which she has housed the bulk of her exhibits. This highly characteristic structure is splendidly located on the main road leading from the Fifty ninth street entrance to the Fisheries building and it is built in the style of an old Swedish church, the sub structure of brick and the rest of sea soned timber, the whole crowned with a .late roof and cables and turrets I 6WXPF.V8 WOULD' which lend to the whole a highly picturesque air. The interior, how ever, is very bare of decorations. Although Sweden is, above all. an agricultural country, she Is not repre sented at the fair by the products of her soil, not even by her forestry. The reason for that, it is stated by the com missioner. Arthur Le filer, is because Sweden does not export any of her raw products to tbis country. In the one industry, though, in which Sweden has shone for centuries, viz.: the pro duction of fine iron and steel, she has made an unusually fine display. The gTeat iron works of Dannemora, worked since l.V5, have come to the front. Though hampered by the lack of indigenous coal, which necessitates either the use of charcoal or the im portation of coal from ncighlorirg countries, the quality of this Swedish iron ore the finest in the world, Wing some 7'J to 5 per cent pure iron and almost wholly free from phosphorus is so excellent that the lest Swedish steel and iron find a market, too, in this country, wherever the highest grade r the metal is needed in Ameri can industry. The display comprises the best speci mens of Bessemer steel, of steel insrots and bars, of pig iron, etc., as well as of finished products, notably saw blades, horseshoe nails (the liest in the world). Sweden shows, too, by her ex hibits that she is. so far, the only Eu ropean country which has adopted the cut and style of onr American tools, so much more handy and appropriate than the clumsier European tools. Her array of files, too, is great and a steel band, marked "the largest ever made." and being 12 feet wide, 030 feet long and yet weighing only b-S pounds, attracts universal attention as a proof of the skill of Swedish artisans. The same remark applies to the fine exhib it of steel projectiles, next to Krupp's and those of the United States govern ment the best showing in this line. In fact, the steel and iron industry is so extensively and magnificently illus trated in the Swedish building that It gives its peculiar stamp to their whole exhibit Of interest, too, i the display of ar tificial stone. This is so closely imitat ed as to deceive the eye and touch, and a score of different stones gran ites and marbles, porphyry and basalt, etc. are represented in this. The stairs leading up to the main door of the building, apparently choice porphy ry, are made of this artificial material. Swedish cement as fine as the oest Portland, is also in evidence. In chinaware and pottery there is quite a deal, and while it cannot be truthfully said that this is as fine in material or design as the similar wares from Meis sen, Sevres or Berlin, they at least are very low in price, and hence within the reach of the ptiorer classes of the population. The style affected by the Swedish makers of china and pottery pertains about in even proportion to the French and German schools. In furniture Sweden does better, some interiors on exhibition, with their harmonious color effects in gTecn and gold, their silk draperies and tapestries, being decidedly pretty and tasteful. The same is true of a num ber of mantelpieces. Then there is s large display of natire furs rugs and cloaks, caps and capes and here again the low prices startle us, for pretty fox rugs are marked fj in some instances, and the bearskins, the beaver and seal and wolves' hides are correspondingly low. Besides a small display of chemicals, of Swedish matches, of rifles and guns for the chase, and of sewing machines (some very pretty in theirappoiatments). there is to be seen on this main floor a dis play of Swedish folk types peasants and huntsmen, skating, sleighing, rac ing on snowshoes, reindeer vehicles aud Lapps, interiors of farm houses, etc., am also interesting photographs nnd panoramic views of land and people. I'pstairson the gallery the Swedish povcrnment and some private societies have made an attempt to show us their systems of physical culture, of manual training (sloyd), of running a fchool for weaving, one for sewing, etc There is a model of a gymnasium, showing all the apparatus, also a col lection of fencing weapons, and other things, but this exhibit as a whole is inferior to that sent by otler European countries. A collection of books and lithographs, sent by a Swedish so ciety for the promotion of artistic bookrr.aking, shows that Sweden turns out excellent work in some specialties, for instance expensive works on natural historv. with col- ored plates, equaling- the best done Jn this country. Then there is an ex hibit of musical and rnechanelal instruments, but it is small and rather inferior in quality. In Machinery hall Sweden has not much to show, but at least two pieees of mechanical skill deserve mention, one being a turbine wheel driven by steam, instead of water, the invention of IV Lawal, and quite unique; the other a barrel-making engine. In the Woman's building there are embroid eries and other evidences of the deft ness of Swedish female fingers, but nothing very remarkable. And as for the exhibit which Sweden makes in the Art palace, it is distinctly of a lower gTade than either that of Den mark or even Norway. A number of her paintings are veritable daubs, nnd the slavish imitation of that latest horror in French art the "impression ist style." mars other canvases which would, if painted according to the good, old-fashioned canons of art, be deserving of praise. Art quite evident ly is at just as low an ebb in the Sweden of to-day as is her literature, which a generation ago showed such a remarkable awakening. Wol- VON SCIIIKHHUAXD.

The state of Washington building at the world's fair and its conterf com prise a revelation to thousands of east ern people, the majority of whom had not quit thinking of that far-away commonwealth as a territory. The building has been pronounced by an eminent literary man to be the most dramatic object on the grounds. Its foundations and the walls of its first story are of logs so long and huge that the beholder wonders how they were even brought here from the forests of Washington, and every bit of material in the building, from the logs to the nails, are of Washington product Aside from the evidence of aesthetic taste ami accomplishment in the acces sories are some of the huge things of the fair, the highest flagstaff, for in stance, ever raised in one stick of tim ber, being 2.10 feet in length; the largest American flag ever made floats from its masthead; the largest piece of coal ever mined and brought to the surface. Wing 50.C.-.0 pounds, over 2" tons, and other curiosities of this char aeter. The exhibit gives also some remarka ble facts about social life in that state. The paintings by Washington artists of Waf hington subjects show the ad vance of art, and the exquisite em broideries and other needlework the deftness of woman's hand out there. 1 he school exhibits by photographs of the buildings, exterior and interior, show structures that would be a credit to any country, those of Toeama, foi instance, giving thousands of children WASniNGTOX STATE BCILDIXO. at their calisthenic and delsarte exer cises, in their chemical laboratories and general schoolrooms, and their pro ductions in chirography, drawing and modeling; all of which is made more wonderful when it is remembered that twelve years ago the present site of Tacoma, now a handsome city, with all the adjuncts of a metropolis, was an untouched, primeval wilderness, tho home of wild beasts and the In dian, where the forests of mighty cedars, tamarack and fir seemed to al most defy the settler.

Kissed with liuj;i;a;;ti Carrier. Spectators at the world's fair wert considerably amused during the week to see a family .procession fitted out most elaborately with baggage car riers. A man, who was evidently the father of the family, led the proces sion carrying a baby. Over his right thouldcrand under his left arm passed a broad leather strap. This supported an elaborate little leather harness, in which the baby swung as snugly as in a cradle, and requiring as little atten tion. Behind the man's back was sr.-vmg by a smaller strap two cotton umbrellas. The next in the procession was a middle-aged woman who ap peared totally unconscious of the weight of a large valise which was at tached to her by an arrangement of two straps over her shoulders. Then came the daughter with a bundle of shawls strapped to her. and lastly a s:nall boy supporting easily by a s'.cr.te str.ip a large box of lunehetm.
