58 Thirty-Third Annual Meeting 
of the United States. Japan, as usual, has a very complete ex- 
hibit in this group. The fishery products have not been placed 
in the Palace of Forestry and Fish and Game unless accom- 
panied by models showing the methods of preparation. One of 
the most instructive live exhibits of this kind is the illustration 
of the Alaskan salmon country and of the methods of preparing 
salmon shown by the Alaska Packers’ Association of San Fran- 
cisco. This includes a waterfall and series of cascades and pools 
with mountain and lake in the background and a painted repre- 
sentation of a cannery building, boats and vessels, together with 
log cabins, a miniature cannery reproducing every detail of the 
work and samples of the preserved salmon, together with salads 
which are distributed to visitors at certain times during the day. 
The apparatus of modern fish culture is shown by Japan, 
Pennsylvania and Washington. Great Britain has a splendid 
collection of the results of deep sea investigation from the Ma- 
rine Biological Laboratory of Liverpool. 
Pennsylvania’s display includes a little waterfall running 
through a cement canal into a great pool which contains big fish. 
Tt has also 35 aquaria for food and game fishes of the state. 
Missouri’s tanks are arranged in a sort of grotto. Minnesota 
also has a grotto with fifteen large tanks arranged on the two 
sides of a fifteen-foot aisle. 
The Forestry and Fish and Game Palace is characterized by 
its central nave and its ends which are 85 feet wide. This feat- 
ure gives opportunity for convenient arrangement of exhibits 
and has been fully utilized in the work of installation. The 
lighting and ventilation are excellent and the presence and 
sound of falling water ada a charm which is not easily forgotten. 
The standard of installation is very high, excelling anything of 
the kind within the writer’s exposition experience. The popu- 
larity of the palace is well attested by the fact that it is always 
crowded when the attendance in the grounds is large. This is 
shown by the record of July 4, 1904, when the register of the 
California exhibit received 1,540 names of visitors. The wide 
aisles of the building were completely filled so that it was almost 
impossible to stem the passing throng. Representatives of many 
foreign countries have expressed their approval of the character 
and installation of the exhibits and the general opinion freely
