Specimen of Labrador Duck in sportsman can hope to bag, a single speciment of which is valued at more than $5,000, is included in a new €Xâ€" hibit containing all species of duth‘ found in North America, preparation of which has just been compiced .t‘ Field Museum of Natural Hi;tory.‘ ‘The exhibit will be opened to the pubâ€" lice tomorrow, Stephen C. Simms, actâ€" ing director of the museum announces, and it i sexpected to be of special inâ€" terest to hunters. Rarest of All Ducks The $5,000 specimep is the rarest af all ducks, the extinct Labrador duck, of which specimens are scarcer even than of the famous extinct great auk, according to Dr. Wilfred Osgood, curator of zoology. Field Museum possesses two specimens of the bird, a male and a female. Only the female is included in the exhibit; the condiâ€" tion of the male specimen does not warrant its use in this kind of exhibit, but a replica of it, skillfully made from feathers of other birds, has been placed on display. In the whole world only about 45 specimens of this rare duck have been preserved, declares Dr. Osgood. The bird formerly inhabâ€" ited the northeast coast of America, and suddenly became extinct more than fifty years ago, since which time no living example of it has been seen, says Dr. Osgood. In all, forty epecies of duck are shown. In order to make the exhibit of most service to local sportsmen, all species which are found in Illinois are designated by red stars on the descriptive labels accompanying the specimens. The hunter who bags a bird which is strange to him, whether it be from Dlinois or elsewhere, can One section of the exhibit is deâ€" voted to the. soâ€"called river ducks; another section to the sea ducks. The wellâ€"known mallard, pintail, teal, widâ€" geon, wood, black, canvasâ€"back, Harâ€" lequin and other favorite ducks of the sportsman are all conspicuous in the collection. Included also are cerâ€" tain old world types which occur acâ€" cidentally on this continent. From Artic Regions A number of the northern species of duck in the exhibit were obtained by the Rawsonâ€"MacMillan Subarctic Expedition of Field Museum, and the John Bordenâ€"Field Museum Alaskaâ€" Arctic Expedition. Most of the species are represented by both a male and female specimen. The birds were mounted and arranged by Ashley Hine of the museum‘s staff of taxidermists, who also collected many of them, identify exhibit. It seems to us that they may carry this thing too far. Now some Engâ€" lishman has written a poem about the transatlantic fliers. A duck such as no present day Milwaukee congestion. Just a good time for everybody.

"It is fully and thoroughly underâ€" stood by the representative men and women at the head of this grand and glorious undertaking that the lasting influence of the World‘s Fair must be of that character that will prove beneâ€" ficial to all nations and must bring to the people of both the new and the old worlds, practical and construcâ€" tive ideas in industry, commerce, fi~ nance, science, education, the profes~ sions and the arts all for the happiâ€" ness of mankind. "Important and vital as are the material features of the World‘s Fair, which will involve the expendiâ€" ture of many, many millions of dolâ€" lars, there must be a deeper spiritual significance, as the result of this inâ€" ternational exposition for a better understanding of life‘s true values. For out of it all must come the recâ€" ogmnition that the study and advanceâ€" ment of mankind is the test of & naâ€" tion‘s civilization. The Real Chicago "The real Chicago is now being disâ€" covered with its wonderful destiny to prove to the world at large its culâ€" tural and educational leadership in the United States, as exemplified by its two great universities and many other important factors, its broad and human purpose, its generous emotions, its noble and unstinted philanthropy, its undaunted courage and its sincere realization of a njission to the entire world.
