State Exhibits-J. H. Roberts,
Space has been allotted to the State in the various departments as follows: In the Agricultural Department, 2,000 square feet. The entire space has been provided € with a raised floor seven inches in height, of polished maple, in center of which is a Corinthian temple sixteen feet square and sixteen feet in height, the dome sur- mounted by the coat of arms of the State. This coat of arms consists of two life- sized antlered deer and full sized eagle; the shield is covered with black velvet, the rising sun and rays being in gold, as also are all the letters. The entire space is enclosed with quarter-sawed oak railing three and one-half feet in height, with an arrangement on top for the display of bottles and jars of grain. One-fourth the space is devoted to display of products of the Agricultural College; the balance has cases of oak highly finished for the display of the various grains and grasses of the State, corn in the ear, sheaves of grain, etc. Within the temple is a revolving stand on which are displayed photographs of representative farm buildings from every county in the State.
The Horticultural Building has 1,500 square feet, provided with refrigerator cases for the display of vegetables, fruits, etc. Arrangements have been made whereby

fresh fruit will be received daily, to replace all wilted or decayed fruits or vege- tables. All fruits will be exhibited in Egyptian jars with the words " Michigan Fruits" etched in glass.
The Educational exhibit, in the gallery of Liberal Arts Building, has 1,800 square feet of space, suitably arranged for the public school exhibit, which consists of charts, maps, statistical works and everything pertaining to the proper display of the public school system of the State. The entire space is enclosed with a brass railing, and above is an archway displaying a metal banner bearing the words, "State of Michigan Public Schools," surrounding the painting of the coat of arms of the State.
The University exhibit in the same gallery has 3,000 square feet of space for the display of the exhibits prepared by Prof. M. E. Cooley.
The Agricultural College has also in the same gallery 1,000 square feet of space for an exhibit prepared at the College.
In the building of Mines and Mining the State has been allotted 3,038 square feet of space, enclosed on two sides with a cut stone wall three and one-half feet in height with the necessary openings. The main entrance is a beautiful archway, surmounted with the coat of arms of the State cut out of the brown stone of the upper peninsula. At each side of the outer wall of this archway is placed a gyp- sum obelisk-from the Grand Rapids quarries-five feet four inches in height and twenty inches at the base; the remaining two sides of the space interiorly are pan- neled in stucco, a space of sufficient depth to admit cases of minerals of the State. Artistically arranged in the center of space are massive specimens of copper, iron and other ores, as also large ingots of copper, bars of iron, pyramids of coal, gyp- sum, etc. There are also upon shelves, conveniently arranged, jars and bottles con- taining the finer products of our mines.
In the Forestry Building the State has 2,000 square feet of space. This entire space has been provided with a raised floor seven inches in height and the entire space enclosed with a frame work of the various articles manufactured from the timbers grown in the State. Suitable openings have been made in the form of archways to give to the whole an artistic appearance. Within the enclosed space are displayed sections forty-two inches in height-dressed to show the grain of the wood-of every commercial wood of the State; this is supplemented by sections of all timbers used for construction of buildings, implements, furniture, cars, vehi- cles and the other manufactures of the State; also all the different varieties of veneers used. Upon shelves and suitably arranged brackets are jars of seeds of every commercial wood grown in the State; in suitably arranged cases are displayed all insects that prey upon our forest trees, and interspersed throughout the entire exhibit are samples of our woodenware manufactures.
Statistics have been prepared showing the importance of the State as to its timber resources. The whole space is surmounted by a frieze composed of photo- graphic views of logging and lumbering operations in every form, from the primeval forest to the delivering of the lumber on cars or vessels.
The State exhibits are principally those that pertain to the State in general, show- ing progress, etc. As all other exhibits in the various buildings will be surrounded by the multitude of other states and foreign countries, the plan of this exhibit is to reproduce the general exhibits in a smaller form in the State building, and upon the cases containing them give section, location, etc., where the exhibits of the State are in the general buildings, as a means of localizing and identifying them to

.
visitors at the State building, who afterward make tours of the other buildings, as more time can be given them whilst viewing these exhibits to explain their quali- ties, etc., and by such explanation so impress upon their minds their value, that they will naturally look for their counterpart in the general buildings of the expos- ition. This is the sole object of these exhibits, and as they are in a certain sense advertisements, considerable care and expense has been entailed in their display in an artistic and attractive form. They consist of wall cases in the main exhibit room. The building stone is represented and displayed in the form of four-inch cubes of every variety of building stone quarried in the State. These cubes have their six faces cut in the various forms known to quarry men, from the polished to the rough ashler. They are on open metal standards three and one-half inches in height, placed upon a mirrored shelf, and the sides and back of cases are also mirrored, thereby multiplying the view and making their six faces seen at once. Similar cases for the minerals are also provided. A minature exhibit in wax of over one hundred models of fruit grown in the State is similarly shown.
The historical exhibit consists of mats artistically arranged and framed of the photographs of every official of the State, in the following order:
First. All of Michigan's governors, from Arthur St. Clair, first governor of the Northwest Territory, down to the present time.
Second. Every territorial delegate, justice of the supreme, circuit and United States courts, every senator, every cabinet officer and every member of Congress from the 24th to and including the 53d Congress. Every nook has been searched, every possible clew has been followed to obtain these photographs. The obtaining of these photographs has necessitated the writing of some 3,000 letters. An illustrated biography so comprehensive has never before been attempted, under similar circumstances, by any state in the Union.
The religious exhibit consists of pen-written statistical charts of some thirty-one denominations. These charts are framed upon three-ply veneer leaves, each followed by similar charts of artistically mounted photographs of interior and exterior views of the churches of that denomination, pastors, eminent divines, and laymen of note. These charts, 160 in number, are 28 x 20 inches, and are dis- played upon a tripod standard six feet in height.
The press exhibit consists of two similar standards and has mounted upon these veneer sheets the first page of over three hundred and sixty papers published in the State. The surface of all these papers has been treated to a coating of map varnish to admit the removal by sponging of any soiling from handling. These standards are electric lighted.
There is also displayed as a State exhibit a map of each county in the State painted upon separate panels of veneer 18x26 inches with statistics of population, tax valuation, number of acres in farms, number of acres not in farms, and the chief industries. These panels are properly framed and placed upon the wall of the second story rotunda. There has also been prepared by this department infor- mation and statistics for " Michigan and its Resources," a work of over 200 pages. Also information and statistics of the State, the leading features of which are comprehensively and conspicuously summarized on a large bulletin board occupy- ing wall space in same rotunda.
In addition to this there has been designed and constructed under the supervision and direction of this department a complete logging exhibit. This exhibit has a space allotted near the stock pavilions 200 feet in length by sixty-four feet in
757

width, upon which has been erected a log house, a regular lumberman's camp seventy feet in length by twenty in width; divided into two rooms, kitchen and dining room, and sleeping room ; separating these rooms is a covered passage way twelve feet in width, on the walls of which there are displayed tools and the general paraphernalia of a lumberman's outfit. In the rear of this camp there is one hundred and fifty feet of railroad track on which are displayed five logging cars loaded by the Russell Wheel & Car Co., loaded with logs; attached to this train is a regular logging locomotive built expressly for this exhibit and loaned for this purpose by the H. R. Porter Locomotive Works, of Pittsburg, Pa. This track is standard gauge, and the purpose of this display is to illustrate the mode of logging by rail. At one side of the locomotive, separated by an eight-foot gravel walk is a load of 50 white pine logs 18 feet in length, loaded upon regular logging sleighs. The load scales 30,065 feet; it is twenty-four feet wide at its base and thirty-four feet in height, the weight of load being 144 tons, and was hauled one-fourth of a mile by a single span of horses. This load was secured from the estate of Thomas Nester, of Baraga, and illustrates logging by sleighs. Adjoining this load is a pair of logging wheels under which are swung thirty foot logs, illustrative of the mode of collecting logs after being cut. In the center of a lawn sixty-seven feet in length by thirty-seven in width, is a rustic "Kiosk," in which is enclosed in a glass case a complete working model of a lumberman's camp.
There has also been designed and constructed under the direction of this depart- ment, a county map of the State, six feet square, pivotly hung in standard frame; this map is to a scale and geographically correct ; each county is of inlaid wood, from wood grown in the county represented.
The department has also designed and had executed, a water color perspective view of the State, 12x14 feet in size, upon which are shown all of the principal rivers and inland lakes, all county seats, all towns of 3,500 population and over, all railway lines, and gives at a glance the general contour of the State. This view is elaborately framed and electric lighted and is placed in the gentleman's parlor of the State Building.
This, in brief, is a general outline of the Michigan Exhibits at the World's Columbian Exposition at Jackson Park, Chicago, Ill.
