methods of mounting specimens, offered an interesting exhibit of the 

 lower form of animal Hfe in the State. Chemistry showed specimens 

 and the analysis of the water furnished to the public in fifty cities and 

 towns. In the department of anatomy and histology was portrayed the 

 method invented by Dr. C. M. Jackson for the study of topographic 

 anatomy by means of prepared and mounted sections of the human head 

 and trunk. Most notable of the departmental exhibits was the great 

 reHef map of the State, made by Professor C. F. Marbut of the depart- 

 ment of geology and his students. Five copies of the map were to be 

 seen at the Exposition. One in the Agricultural College exhibit was 

 colored to show the agricultural resources and products of the State. 

 In the Horticultural exhibit the map, showed the fruit soils of Missouri. 

 In the Missouri building it was a general geographical and political 

 map. In the exhibit of Mines and Metallurgy, the map displayed the 

 mining interests. In the University exhibit, the geological formations 

 of Missouri were most elaborately and carefully represented. In the 

 preparation of the maps, not only were all published sources of informa- 

 tion carefully studied, but the results of Professor Marbut's years of 

 patient work in the field of every portion of the State were used to the 

 full. The Missouri University exhibit was made under the direction 

 of a committee of the University, consisting of John Pickard, chairman ; 

 H. J. Waters, I. Loeb and H. B. Shaw. The University booth was 

 built in accordance with plans suggested by John Pickard. The in- 

 stallation and care of the exhibits throughout the Fair was also in the 

 hands of Mr. Pickard, with T. K. Smith as assistant. The display far 

 excelled that of any other university. It was the testimony of compe- 

 tent foreign and American critics that never at any exposition had any 

 university made so superb a showing.
