along with the many pictures and 

 other more or less decorative details, 

 gave to this exhibit an extremely at- 

 tractive appearance, which was com- 

 mented upon by every visitor who 

 passed through. 



Down in Room 120 wood testing 

 machines were shown while bending, 

 shearing, or crushing pieces of wood, 

 and in the room next to it, Room 122, 

 all kinds of forest products were ex- 

 hibited. In the exhibit of forest pro- 

 ducts, wood in all conditions, and in 

 all the stages of development of wood 

 to paper, various samples of wooden- 

 ware, and sections of wood under 

 microscopes were found. Probably 

 the main feature in this room was a 

 working model made to show the 

 effect of erosion on non-timbered 

 mountains. Two different miniature 

 areas, one covered with seedlings and 

 representing a timbered slope, and 

 another representing a bare mountain 

 slope, were set up and placed so as 

 to have water playing upon them. 

 The erosion on the latter area was 

 very marked. 



The number of men available for 



work in setting up the exhibit was 

 small, but the results were certainly 

 pleasing. If the number of ques- 

 tions asked of the guides were to be 

 taken as a criterion of the interest 

 aroused among the visitors in scien- 

 tific Forestry, and in what we are 

 doing, it is certain that this exhibit 

 is a prize publicity medium for the 

 Department. 



The Exhibit was held during May 

 Festival time, and although the esti- 

 mate of those in charge of 17,000 at- 

 tendance altogether, is rather high, it 

 is entirely probable that as large a 

 crowd as 10,000 passed through. Var- 

 ious lectures which were to have taken 

 place on different phases of the 

 work, were called off because of the 

 lack of desire on the part of the 

 most of the visitors to sit and look at 

 pictures when so much was to be 

 seen in the original. Take it all in 

 all it was an extremely successful ex- 

 hibit, and the committee is to be 

 given great praise for the efficient 

 way in which it handled the whole 

 thing.
