Tho great" garner home from which
we obtain support and enjoyment la the
earth with Its oceans of water and air.
We are furnlihed with food and clothing
from the animals and plants that teem

expanse ot water. In a country like
this which 1s preeminently commercial?

competition It la Impossible for those
who are Ignorant of the tint principles
of commercial and Industrial science to
compete with any hope of euc-

anil practically acquainted wllh them.
When considering the natural resources
of n country Ve embrace' the1 plants bndT

wealth which only await the labor of
man to becomo of use and value. There
Is In the world an In dYflnlfd. number of'
substances for our use cither n sickness

ranged that each region has lis special
treasures. illere Is (he fulcrum of the
commercial lever of the world the Inter-
change of these special products fulfill-
ing n-want In one county that can be
supplied by another and Tloe versa. As
all raw substances contain within them
structural evidences of the condition
under which they were developed It Is

utility of museums where specimens
from the three kingdoms can be studied
comparatively; from these repositories
of raw specimens the discoveries of the
various qualities and uses of the crude
substance In manufacture and the' arts
may be called Inductive as has been de-
monstrated at various periods by the
many expositions of the world's products.
International exhibitions dispense an'
amount of know ledge the value of which
Is 'Incalculable to the prosperity and
progress of the "world's commerce. Jly

an Incredibly short apace of time be en-
tirely changod and where forests grew
n year back the shaft of the factory Is
only to be observed and the birds' carol
gives plaoe to the tramp of many feet.
In this our empire State we may be
said to be emerging from darkness
black as' Erebus Justin the grey dawn
til fall glare or the sun; showing with a
weight of evidence impossible tobe con-
troverted her unparalleled natural
wealth and marvelous resources caus-

may be congratulated on having been

energy combined vtlththat of the honor-

of the whole State. Another very great

dependent on the efforts of the Ladles'
