THE OOLOGIST. 



World's Fair Notes. 



The "World's Columbian Exposition. 



It is the present expectation that 

 evei\y species of fish and other aquatic 

 animal large enough to be seen, which 

 is native to inland waters and to the 

 Atlautic and Pacific oceans, except per- 

 haps alive 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 flowers and archaeological and 

 ethnological specimens. The Mexican 

 exhibit will illustrate the present condi- 

 tion and resources and products 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 fish. 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, who 

 has been in charge of the matter, gath- 

 ered more thau 1,000 varieties last sum- 

 mer, including fifteen or more which 

 had never been classified. 



The British Royal Commission for the 

 Chicago Exposition is endeavoring^ to 

 form a typical collection, illustrating 

 British metallurgy for the British Sect- 

 ion, and it is now applying to owners 

 ;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 be presented to an Ameri- 

 can museum.
