 by members of the faculty. In Roman languages a chart of phonetic 

 tracings showed some of the original work of Dr. Raymond Weeks, 

 and a Victor talking machine indicated the method of instruction em-

 ology and internal medicine were all represented. The department of 

 agriculture, better represented elsewhere in the exhibits of Missouri 

 and of the Federal government here, showed the result of experiment in 

 cattle feeding, in the winter protection of the peach, and in winter rais-

 veterinary science was concerned with Dr. Connoway's experiments in

 and drawings, exhibited the results of practical tests of the properties 

 of wood, steel, belts, ropes and lubricating oils, extensive experiments
