SAN FRANCISCO FAIR
(Continued from yesterday.))
It is particularly appropriate that an
exposition held In California should
take especial pains with its horticul
ture and florlcuitural section. The
state of "sunshine, fruits and flowers"
In consequence has a palace of Horti
culture that experts declare the su
perior of any similar conservatory at
any previous world’s exposition. In
this department are many notable ex
hibits showing the range of contem
poraneous horticultural activities. Tlie
advance made in economic horticulture
during the past decade is realistically
and elaborately shown In the model
cannery, operated by the National
Canners Association of Washington.
r>. C. Practically the entire industry
of sanitary fruit canning has been de
veloped during the past decade, Ihe
processes shown in the model cannery
being absolutely revolutionary com
pared with the methods of ten 'ears
ago. Another tremendous advance in
the science of horticulture graphically
featured is that of destroying parasitic
insects by predaceous Insects: setting
one bug to kill the other. This Is a
field of vast importance In horticulture
that has been developed during the
past decade. In the work of seeking
out these predaceous hugs California
leads the world
Horticulturalists will also he inter
ested in the newer phases of plant
hybridization resulting in new families
of plant life. In this section will he
found Fitter's strawberry, which blos
soms and fruit in the air. having a
thick, velvety leaf which drops to the
ground, keeping the soil protected and
moist. Mendelln's theory of se yd se
lection is another step toward Ihe ideal
in horticulture. This theory In practice
is rather like Ihe principle of eugenics
applied to plants. Only strong, health'
seeds are used in planting. in con
nection with Mendelln's theory. Profes
sor and Mrs Cockerell of Ihe I’niver
sity of Colorado show by actual de
monstration how they arrive at their
new red sunflower, tlie seeds of wliieh
hi> of sound value as poultry food
There is a very complete showing of
all of Ihe Burbank originations, plums
in several varieties, flip Shasta daisy,
spineless cactus and numbers of other
products, not excluding the humble
"spud’’ to which lie gave his name and
which was a source of his earlier fame.
Aside from these few of many other
phasps showing distinct advances in
horticulture during the past decade
there are of course complete and com
prehensive exhibits and displays by
the countries of the world of their flora
and fruits. Orchid glow in beauty,
giant tree ferns lift their fronded
crests, bamboos rustle, pond lilies un
fold their delicate petals and in the
spacious annex the fruits of the world
are on display.
But it is in the department of liberal
arts where are found those advances1
that afford the most dramatic appeal to
the popular mind. The wireless tele
graph and telephone are classified
among the exhibits of the Palace of
Liberal Arts, the accoustieon, the dic
tagraph and the telegraphone. In this
palace. :rt the booth of the Bell tele
phone company, one may sit and listen
to operators talking to New York over
the newly perfected long distance tele
phones. The price is twenty dollars
a. minute as yet, so the majority of
visitors prefer to listen to some one
else. The accousticon makes of the
smallest whisper a volume of sound to
fill an auditorium. Tlie telegraphone
records telephonic conversations so
that the business man picks up his re
ceiver and, if he so desires, may listen
to a phonographic record of every
word that has gone over the phone in
his absence.
For the first time color photography
is made the subject of a display at an
international exposition. After fifteen
years of work and the expenditure of
hundreds of thousands of dollars the
Kastman laboratories have finally suc
ceeded in photographing directly in
color and in printing color negatives
from color plates. Thus far the pro
cess has been applied to glass plates
only and not to films. This feature
of the liberal arts exhibit is of wide
appeal and is the subject of a beautiful
and artistically arranged booth.

Another advance featured in this
department is in the manufacture of
artificial limbs, these members having
been improved to the degree where
the person equipped with them is aide
to use the fingers, toes and other Joints
about as readily and as usefully as
though those parts were natural. The
protect ograph for cheek protection, has
been carried to a degress of perfection
which, it is declared, makes Ihe raising
and forging of checks an impossibility.
There is no department at the expo
sition, and scarcely a state building
of foreign pavilion, which does not
make use of the motion picture as a
feature of instruction. States and na
tions use it to portray scenes, histor
ical occasions, and features of Indus
trial life. Rut in the Palace of Rduca
tinn the mov ing pictures is utilized for
tlie first time at anv exposition -or at
least the use of it is made more defi
nite and practical—to demonstrate the

Hand made siloes only they are
made by machinery here are examples
ot the revolutionizing effect of modern
machines on a particular manufactur
ing industry us shown in the i’alace
of Liberal Arts, where the United Shoe
Machinery Company has a complete
plant in operation. Such machinery
as is sitowu here is ending the day of
tile hand made shoes. The visitor
watches the leather from the time it
leaves the tannery until the finished
shoe is handed to him for inspection
anil only an expert could detect the
machine made qualities. The thousand
and one improvements in the applica
tion of gas and electricity for lighting,
heating and household purposes is ex
hibited in minute detail in the I’alace
of Manufactures, the development of
the household electrical supply field
being shown in an amazing detail. The
textile industry is here shown, too, by
numberless looms in operation pro
ducing silks, cotton, woolens, tapes
tries, each loom representing the last
word in the spinning trade.
The development of agricultural ma
chinery, the study of advanced methods
of soil culture and enrichment pro
cesses, intensive and dry farming, and
'the competitive array of agricultural
Iproduce combine to give the Palace
of Agriculture a steady stream of v isi
tors. Under this same department is
the food products palace where are
shown in practical working order the
plants that daily turn out immense
stores of flour, mush, bread, choco
late, tea, candies, wines, and the en
tire range of household commodities.
These are hut a few of a multitude
of other processes, principles and ar
ticles featured at this greatest of all
world's expositions; only those matters
being selected for mention here that
represent some significant, advance in
their particular line.

SMALLEST ELECTRIC MOTOR
The smallest electrict motor in the
world, just high enough to reach up
under the chin of the head of Lincoln
on a one-cent piece, has been built by
H. F. Keeler, a student in tlio High
land Park College of Engineering at
Des Moines, Iowa.
The armature is less than a quarter
of an inch in diameter, and .the wire is
of the size of tine thread. A jeweler's
microscope must lie used to see the
different parts, and the whole thing
weights only twenty grains, or as much
as a third of a teaspoonful of water.
When coupled with small dry batteries
it runs at very high velocity, and
makes a noise like a fly on a window
pane.
