CANADA IN MINIATURE.
With all the onterprise and competitive
spirit of her Yankee cousins, Canada has
made a display at the World's Fair
wbiuh adanirably serves its purpose of
illustrating the natural and developed re•
sources of her vast territory. No depart•
meat of expoeitioa has been slighted by
Canada, saga the Chicago Herald.
Each big building oonteina a comprehen-
sive exhibit, installed according to the
best mothode that eonld bo employed to
make it attractive. Poseeeaed of resources
so nearly similar to those of the U. S.
that but slight distinctions can be drawn,
Canada has been animated by the spirit
of competition more keenly, perhaps,
than any other nation represented at
Jaoleson Park. ;She has given specie) at-
tention to the display of her agrioulbaral
products, teem which she prides herself
most. She has not neglected, either, the
Mesta/Ms hidden beneath her broad do -
male, ae can be seen in the Mining
gilding. The same oonsoientione en.
deavor to do herself justice has been
manifested everywhere in the exposition
and the result has been most satisfagtory
to the visitor.
Great care has been taken by the do.
minion official to properly present the
display in the Agricultural Building, A.
beautiful court covering 7,000 square feet
and rising twenty-five feet from the floor,
stands, a model of its kind, on the north
side of the center aisle. It is surmount-
ed by a handsome trophy and by a large
stuffed deer from the Rocky mountains.
The curtain which surrounds the court
on four sidee is made entirely of grain
and straw tastefully and artistically ar-
ranged.
DIBPLAY'e nY PROVINOEO.
At the west corner of the court, On-
tario, the banner proviaoe of the doauin•
ion, has a large and tastefully arranged
display. A handsome pavilion, made
entirely of cereals and grasses from the
Ontario Government Agricultural College
at Guelpb, is admired by all visitors.
Samples of grain in glen jars constitute
a beautiful trophy whieh rises to a height
of fully thirty-five feet. The display of
grain and cereals from the province of
Quebec is oue of the most beautiful in
the seotiou. An interesting feature is a
magnificent tropby of Canadian tobacco.
There is wises pretty showing of maple
sugar and syrnp, which are two staple
products of this provtuee. The display
of Braine and cereals from the great
grain -growing areas of the Northwest
show the splendid quality and extensive
variety of these staples from the store-
house of the dominion. There is also a
splendid exhibit of furs and stuffed birds
which adds largely to the attractiveness
of the display. The maritime provinces
of the dominion show splendid exhibits
of cereals and grains. Across the aisle
from the handsome agricultural court is
a eeeond apart containing exhibits of ales
and beer. Here is the mammoth Can.
adian cheese which attrects general at-
tention. There is also a display of
biscuits, cheese, mineral and aerated
wafers, bacon, hams and an exhibit of
Canadian whiskies. In the annex of the
Agricultural Building, Canada tuts a
largo display of agricultural machinery.
wnnRE COTTON IS nEGENT.
Canada has outdone her mother coun-
try in the neat and pretty curtains she
has created around her section in the
., Manufactures Building. The seotion is
on the west side of Columbia avenue,
with Great Britain on her north, Den-
mark on the south, and Belgium on the
east morose the avenue. Every foot of
10,000 square feet of space is crowded
with manufactured goods from all parte
of Canada. There are a great many
lines of manufactured produote in the
Canadian court which will compare
favorably with those of the older, more
populous and more pretentious mann.
featuring countries. The cotton king
has been et work in the dominion, and
in two long, well -finished native wood,
cases are most tastefully arranged 'many
of the products of the Canadian cotton
mills. Cotton fabrics of all kiuds are
shown, and textile goods occupy a
prominent plaoe. Tweeds, meltone,
braids, silk thread and carpets) are also
extensively exhibited. Gloves, hosiery,
nndsrweer and ready-made clothing are
tastefully arranged in glazed oases made
of Canadian elm, birch' and cherry,
Two very pretty. cans are filled with
specimens of women's work from
different parts of the dominion. There
is also a creditable exhibit of sole and
harness leather. Soalea, stoves and
hollow ware, water heaters, horse shoes,
stove polish, screens, rivets, spades,
shovels and an immense array of like
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 surpassed.
A ofeditable display of boots and shoes
wimples a prominent position.
INDIAN 800121108 AT INDIANS.
At the west side of Canada's space le a
very interesting and instructive exhibit
made by the department of Indian affairs
at Ottawa. here, with the teachers, are
a
number of Indian boys and girls front
the government Indian schools in the
distant Northwest of Canada. These
young people daily pursue their routine
work lust es if they were at home in
their eahoole, All around are the
products of the oivilized Indian—grain

The display which the dominion makes
in the Mining Building is a fair index of
the natural mineral rooftrees of the
country, The Canadian section com•
prises an area of 10,000 square feet, and
is on the main floor, west of the oentral
aisle, extending back under the west

teresting seobion. Upon entering the
large oonteal court the visitor is im.
mediately interested by the great pyr-
amids of gold blocks representing the
yield of that precious metal throughout
Canada since it was first discovered in
the far western province of British
Columbia. The total yield of gold from
British Columbia alone in estimated at
somebbieg over $58,000,000, while aerobe
the oonbioenb the surf -beaten province of
Nova Scotia on the Atlantic has produoed
from her gold deposits eines 1864 over

Ontario extensive deposits 01 gold quartz
are being worked, largely by American
capitalists, and here the output is esti.
mated at nearly $1,000,000 annually.

The samples of coal from British
Columbia show the exoellonb qualiby,
both anbhrauibe and bibuminong, of the
inexhaustible coal fields of the Peailbo
province. Blank diamonds are also Won
out in large quantities in the province of
Nova Scotia, and the sparsely wooded
and illimitable areas of farmingland iu
the great Northwest of the ominion
have a plentifnt supply of excellent coal.
The province of Nova Scotia makes a
poor allow of coal samples despite the
fact that she has some of the greatest
coal areas on the continent.
The showing of nickel and nickel ore
from the Sudbury district of Ontario is
011e which bas abtraoted universal abten•
Von, nob only of milting experts but of
naval officers. The quality of these ores
can best be indicated by the result of the
recent tests made by the naval depart-
ments of Great Britain, France, Germany
and the United States, in which Can.
adian nickel was found to have the
greatest power of resisteioa, and was by
all means the most suitable for the pur-
pose of malting armor plates for improv-
ed war vessels,
The display which Canada makes in
the Horticultural Building is one of the
most important and attractive in that
department of the fair. There are three
Canadian courts devoted to fruit, vege-
tables and wine exhibits. An interesting
feature of this splendid display of fruit
is that Cnueda 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 firm, juicy
Ohara0ter which at nee places them in
the first grade of fine fruits. Although
the destruction of the oold storage ware-
house has greatly impaired the exhibit
Canada had in fruits of last year, even
yet her display is the largest shown by
any single state or foreign country and
occupies•about oue•sixth of the entire
fruit space. Canada lost through the
fire all the frosh fruit which was stored
for examination by the jurors of awards.
The province of Ontario bee a Image
exhibit of over live hundred plates, em.
bracing thirty eight varieties of apples
in a fresh state and 1,400 bottles of
vtarioue kinds of preserved fruits. In the
centre of the court is a dioplay of fruits
from the government oentret experi.
mental farts at Ottawa. The province
of Quebec has been more successful Chau
any of the other provinces in keeping up
a display of fresh winter apples, of which
there are over seventy varieties, Nova
Scotia's display of the different varieties
of apples from the famous Annapolis
valley is beyond oriticism. The exhibit
from British Columbia abtraots much
atteution because of the immense size of
the apples and pears. There is also a
great variety of the smaller fruits.
Prince Edward island, the Northwest
territories and Manitoba lime all credi-
table displays of the smaller fruits. In
the vegetable ooart in the north pavilion
is a display of last year's vegetables, con-
tributed by all the Canadian provinces
and the government experimental farms
of the dominion. Thie is the only exhi-
bit of vegetables in the deparbmenb of
horbionlbnre at the exposition.
IN TRANSPORTATION 730I00I32.
Cauadta's exhibit in Machinery ileitis
located at the east end of the center floor,
immediately opposite that of Great
Britain, While this exhibit has many
feabnroe of peculiar interest to visitors,
many important lines are absent, and a
number of the largest manufacturers are
not represented at all. There is a good
display of automatic and traction engines,
oompoond marine engines, steam in-
jectors and exhausters, high speed en•
gives, fire engines, water wheels and
working machinery of all descriptions.
The display of woodworking machinery
is one of the emelt ab the fair. The ex-
hibit 01 brickmaking machines hoe at-
tracted speoial attention.
Tbe Oaneaten exhibit in rTeaesporta•
tion Building is on the main center door
annex and in the west gallery. A feature
et the exhibit consists of oar oonplers
and chilled car wheels, for which Canada
ie noted. There ars also semaphores
and headlights for yachts and vessels
and a working model of the Chigneolo
Ship railway, whioh is now being non.
di:toted noose lite straits of Northuln-
berlaud. This work when completed
will shorten the ocean trip between
Montreal, Quebeo and other ports on the
lower Se. Lawrence river and Boston and
New York by hundreds of miles, besides
avoiding the dangerous shores of eastern
Nova Scotia. The exhibit of carriages,
wagons, earls and trueka is fairly good.
Particular interest is manifested in the
splendid exhibit of sleighs. In one of the
courts is a beautiful model of the sleigh
presented by the women of Canada as a
wedding present to the Duke of York and
the Princess May. It is a magnificent
speoimsu of Canadian workmanship.
The display also includes a large exhibit
of sporting and pleasure canoes, folding
boats, snow shoes, toboggans, oto., for
which Canada, as the hem° of the epode.
mon, has a worid•witle reputabion. In
the annex of the Transportation Btild-
ing is a full standard vestibuled train of
the Canadian Paoifle Railway, eutirsly of
Canadian reatufactute, the Dare being
made from native Canadian woods.
Ono pocnllarity about this exhibit is that
the train was not built foe exhibition
purposee, hub is an exaot type of the
regular trains on the Canadian Pantile
Railroad.

you say my Bard received Saturday, Aug.
5th, before the games was the first com•
munioation reoevod. In this you are
also wrong as Audy Cousley can prove,
for in conversation with him, over the
wire on July 22nd, I stated that the only
offer bho boys would accept was $15.00
and expeneee while there and which I
again repeated when in conversation
with him on Sahnrday, Aug. 5th. I did
not wish to implicate Audy in the mat-
ter and had you based. your remarks on
his information I think there would have
been 110 occasion to have done so. We

Nora 51 Enrico,—It is hardly ueoes-
sary to make any comment on the above
as it is a quibble more than anything
else, Saturday, July 22nd, Mr, Cousley
tallted to Mr. Fox over the wire as to the
$80 prize. Mr. Fox was to tet him know
at 0 that nigbt after be had seen the
boys. This he did not do until the
postal card of Aug 5th when he inbro-
dneed the $15 and expenses question.
This is Mr. Cousiey's statement. In
reference to game the place should have
been Gerrie but played with the 'Unions'
nevertheless. Going back to the drab
the Committee offered a $30 puree, one
prize, and the "Unions" would not face
the music for it, they preferred aguaran-
tee of $15 and expenses. That's a11.

There is always somebody who bas
some new kind of a scheme to work out
around the Falls ; wire walkers, whirl-
pooI swimmers and laugh are common ;
but word comes from Philadelphia of
another style of daring proposed by a
young man who is preparing to cross
Niagara Fells suspended by his teeth
from a trolley arrangement. He is in
that city milking plans and ordering the
parapbernalia necessary for the extraor-
dinary undertaking. The youth ie known
as young Hercules, although his real
name is Beak, and his home is Elm
Park, Staten Island. Young Hercules
claims to be but nineteen years of age.
He says he will cross the falls early in
September. A half inoh oable will be
stretched across the gorge, being about
40 feet higher at one end than the other.
Beak has invented a grooved wheel which
will run on the wire, and to this will be
attached a piece of prepared leather
which will just int bis mouth. This he
will hold in his teeth and will swing a
dumb bell in each hand to balance bim,
and will slide aarose the falls suspended
by his teeth. The trip will, he says, take
four minutes. In discussing the matter
Beall said :—"I have been training for
some time at the grounds of the Staten
Island Abbletiv Club on the bigb wire
used by Clifford Gabneltry, the wheel
manufacturer. Ib is 80 feet above the
ground. At first I could hold on but six
minutes, but now I can stand eight easily
with 25 ib. dumb bells in each hand.
The wire I will use in crossing the falls
will be made in Philadelphia. I do not
anticipate any accident, for the trip will
occupy but four minutes with the dumb
bells, which will add to the momentum
of my body and Inorease the speed.
Should I feel my strength giving out I
should drop the dumb belle. The only
danger is a flaw in the wire, for it is al-
most impossible for the wheel to run off
the wire. I shall ureas at night."

OncTnanO.—TheElora Express of Aug.
17th, refers to the death of Mrs. Watt,
mother of Mrs. (Rev.) Ross, es follows ;—
"Tbe a0noanoement made last week of
the brief illness and sudden death of Mrs.
Alexander Watt came to the people of
this village and the surrounding com-
munity with a painful shook of surprise.
Though Mrs. Watt had reached the ad-
venaed age of 81 years, her health had
been fairly good and her family and
many friends cherished the hope that she
might be spared to them for some years
to come. The bereavement therefore is
painfully sudden. Mrs. Watt was strick-
en with paralysis and on the evening of
Aug. 5tb, after an illuesa of only three
days, her long, beautiful life came to a
peaceful close. In the presence of her
husband and the surviving mombors of
her family, to all of whom she was de-
votedly attached, she passed triumphant-
ly through her last change. Even
though they oher'ish the memory of her
happy Christian death -bed, etill their
loss 1s so great that it must bring a pain-
ful feeling of separation and loneliness.
They have the sincerest sympathy of a
wide circle of friends. The funeral was
one of the largest Byer seen here. The
services were oonduoted by Rev. J. Mc-
Innis, of Knox oburcb, and Rev. J. B.
Mullan, of Fergus. Her son-in-law, the
Rev. John Boss, Presbyterian minister,
of Brussels, was also present. Mr. and
Mrs. Watt came to the township of
Nichol from Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
They took a leading part In the organi-
zation and establishment of Knoxahurch
here, and for more than half a century
they have been most devoted and con-
sistent members of it. It is said that
the first communion among the members
of the congregation was celebrated in the
early tomo of Mr. and Mrs. Watt in 1887.
Ever since that time, by their generous
support, consistent example and diligent.

wonder that its members, among whom
she Wan universally beloved, feel her loss
almost as much as the members of her
own family. To those who knew her
best, Mrs. Watt seemed to be an embodie
