 feet, to construct a building at the Fair to constitute an exhibit

 the appliances used in saving goods from burning buildings. 

 The building, it is urged, can be occupied by a salvage corps 

 during the Fair. 



One of the interesting exhibits from Montana will be a relief 

 map of Butte, the greatest mining camp in the world. It is

 doubled at the next session of the legislature. 



A splendid exhibit from Australia seems assured. Minerals, 

 education, forestry and especially wool are to be represented. 

 Wool growers and wool brokers, to the number of fifty, met 

 recently in Sydney,. New South Wales, and took steps to make 

 at the Exposition a very extensive collective exhibit of wools.

 of paper manufacturing and its machinery and appliances ever 

 held under one roof. The display will show the actual manu- 

 facture of paper in all grades from wood pulp to the highly 

 finished book, and the exhibit will be conducted every day 

 during the time of the Exposition. The finished product is 

 to be run through a perfecting press and printed and sold as 

 a souvenir.
