an aquarium and, in conection with it,
the hatchery in which the various
stages of development from the spawn
to the f ull-sUed fish will be shown.
Ooast Defense anus on Exhibition.
For many ypars tho privilege of wit
nessing actyl practice with the big
disappearing coast defense guns has
been greatly limited and only acquaint
ance with army men or influence in
Washington could gain the desired per
mission. .,
The government now has consented
to permit tho visitors to the exposition
' to have fre access to forts adjoining
the exposition grounds.
Daily practice on the big guns wVth
sub-caliber charaes will be held, and
weekly target practice with full '
charges.'1 Kach time one o'f these guns :
is fired with a full charge the cost '
- to the government amounts to several
hundred dollars. In addition to this
unusual feature the several regiments .
of soldiers stationed at the Presidio, the
largest army post of the west, Willi
maneuver and hold dally drills and j
exercises and may even compete with I
detachments of troops from foreign !
rations attending the international mil-.
. Itary tournament.
In the Palace or Transportation a !
postal car will be shown In Its entirety '
with the postal clerks actually operat
ing a railway mail car. There will also
be 'on the grounds a small postof f ice
where letters may be mailed. Every
detail of the operation of checking,
( handling and transmitting mail may 1
i be seen here.
On the sea-front of the exposition t
alte there will be maintained and op
erated a United States government1
Ufa saving station, fully equipped.
where exhibition drills will be held i

work done on battleships will be dis
played and explained In detail by the ,
crncers in charge, and the education
of the enlisted men will be shown.
The bureau of standards Is one of
th least known departments of the
government, yet its work is without
question highly important. It is this
department that fixes the standards of
weights and measures and millions of
dollars are expended to prevent the
