Once within that fascinating stde thow. and there is a possibility of a visitor lot going anvwhere else.' The nrst thing Dnneeaary for a visitor to lo is to get tbe general effect of the archlteo lure and tho grounds. This I lmt accom plished taking the Intramural Railway, a levated road which runs Inside the fence ol ihe I'ark and takes In the complete circuit of the Fair grounds. The fare Is only ten scots, and Ibe cars are comfortable and tbut (ar have not 1-ee.n crowded. Hut tbe Intram aral doea not afford one a satls(a"tory look st the lagoons and the tiaeins, and to accom plish this it Is advisable that the fifty cents oeoessary for a trip In an electric launch or In one ol the gondolas lie expended.

These are the (Inert used, and the first, aecond. and third class mv I tiono are thrown open so as to admit of thi tulnntest Inspection. In tnis section, also em a complete set of the locomotives used from the beginning. which illustrate the evev lution from the day of the discovery of tin possibility of the at earn railroad.

The Transpor tation liutlding may ! snld to lie one in which the progress made Is sufneient to war runt a visitor speudlng a good tal of his tinie there. Having seen this building, you may come by the main entrance and turning to tho rigbt proceed about a rod. and then turn tc the icit and keep by the edge of the Ingooc until you reach the bridge immediately In front of the Flectrtcity Hullillng, when you may cross over to Wooded Island and take a look nt the llooue and Crockett Club's cabin. It Is it modest enough log hut, with an old canvas-covered wagou In front of il, nnd the doorway Is ornamented with old horns. In side there tire (war nn. I deer skins, some old harness and working utensils. The design If simple enough. l-ing the illustration of the Irouticr hunter's cithui. and Is well carried out. Having Inspect.! this bit of the far wit-t. you will do well to cross buck by the way you eaiue, as the other attraction of the Island, tho Japanese village. Is not yet sufficiently complete to warrant a visitor in spending much time over It. when there ore o timiiy other more completed displays.

Teu days . ago it wits hardly an exaggeration to savthat there were not twenty complete exhibits In I place in this building, but now one-half ol ; thcin nre in place and the others begin to ,, show signs of what tliey will soon be. Ilout utter hour you may walk through rows ot ; exhibits, riuitrmg from pyramids of tin ui' to parlors of the rarest bronze and china. tioiug up stairs among the liberal arts there is tlm same uttraottuii.

Surmounting the ease la a portrait of Jefferson, and this I surrounded by prints of the signers.

Opposite thla Is the small ex hibit of the Department of Justice. Itefore proceeding further toward the north entrance of the Government Building, fou will do well to turn to your right at the nd of the State Department exhibit and go into the War Department section, where you will see cannon and guns and uniform and weapons of offeuce and defence innumerable. There is a group Illustrating the Greely ex pedition, which Is particularly life-like and interesting, lassing across the Smithsonian fx hi lilt you find yourself among the dis plays of the Treasury and I'ostoftlce Depart ments, from which you J'tiss into those of the Geological Hurvcy. Patent Office and other bureaus of tho Interior Department. Next to these is the Interesting exhibit of the Fish Commission, and then thnt of the Agricultural Department. Coming out at the entrance nearest you, you will 1st within a few steps (,f the building devoted to fish and fisheries, and this, also. Is well worth going through, for it Is In a state of progress which very nearly approaches completion. When you leave the Fisheries llull.llng, you must again pass among some of the foreign buildings, but they are hardly worth while entering nt present, nearly all of them oclng far behindhand in their displays. You may turn to your Icit after proceeding for a short dlstancc.and enter tho Ituilding of Finn Arts. No other structure approaches this one. It is the best built, being II reproof tit is well lighted, and it is a triumph ol art out side and Inside. Not all the pictures art! hung, but there are enough on the walls to keep you busy for an indellnite length ol time. ' Shut up the whole of the rest of the Fair, and this building with ita content is worth a journey to Chicago and a week of bnd lodgings and board. The visitor who has followed the Itinerary laid down here has not yet been in the Wo man' Huildlng, but he may reach it by pass ng to the left alter leaving the Art Ituilding, Aiiieh will give him an opportunity to see he large California nnd Illinois Mate, build tins, which he did not get a view of when he .onk the ride on the intramural Hallway.

China says: Heponsof wick-spread famine in the dis tant province of Shanghai continue to come slowly in, and the state of affairs revealed surpasses in horror anything heard in re cent years about Chinese families. The gov ernmeiit bus been giving some relief, but owiiiKtotliegre.it distances of the towns from one another in Shcnsi and Slum! ..i tbeir remoteness from the richer part of China, it is very ditllcult to administer re lief ellectually.
