THE OOLOGIST. 



World's Fair Notes- 



It is the pi-eseiit expectation that 

 every species of lish and other aquatic 

 aninial large enough to be seen, which 

 is native to inhmd waters and to the 

 Athintic and Pacific oceans, except per- 

 haps a live whale, will be exhibited in 

 the Fisheries Department of the Expos- 

 ition. 



Instead of a reproduction of an Aztec 

 temple Mexico will construct a typical 

 hacienda, or residence of a wealthy 

 landed proprietor. This will be decor- 

 ated in a lavish manner with Mexican 

 fruit and Howcrs and archaeological and 

 ethnological specimens. The Mexican 

 exhibit will illustrate the present condi- 

 tion and resources and jiroducts of the 

 country rather than its past history. 



In the Washington State exhibit will 

 be included a representation of the 

 methods used by the Makah Indians in 

 catching salmon and other tish. The 

 exhibit will include boats, lines, hooks, 

 seines, harpoons, etc. 



In Colorado's exhibit will appear a 

 very complete showing of the flora of 

 the "state. Miss Alida P. Lansing, Avho 

 has been in charge of the matter, gath- 

 ered more than 1,000 varieties last sum- 

 mer, including lifteen or more which 

 had never been classified. 



The British Royal Commission for the 

 Chicago Exposition is endeavoring to 

 form a typical collection, illustrating 

 British m'etallui-gy for the British Sect- 

 ion, and it is now applying to ownei's 

 and managers of metallurgical works, 

 asking for specimens of each of their 

 principal metallurgical products, and 

 also for specimens illustrating various 

 processes. Dr.E. J. Ball, the instruc- 

 tor in assaying at the Royal College of 

 Science, South Kensington has under- 

 taken to classsify and arrange the col- 

 lection which when complete, will 

 doubtless be fully illustrative of the 

 condition of matallurgy in the kingdom 

 At the close of the exhibition the col- 

 lecton will l)e presented to an Ameri- 

 can museum.
