CANADIAN COURT
Display Designed For Exhibition NATURAL RESOURCES AND INDUSTRIES Information has been received by the management of the Centennial Exhibition as to what form the Canadian Gov ermnent exhibit will take. The Canadian Court, situated in the Motor and Transport Court, has been designed to give visitors some conception of the vast natural resources of Canada and of their development. The exhibit will, it is stated, present a comprehensive picture of a country young in years but great in achievement. The court, with an area of more than 8000 square feet, will be constructed wholly of Canadian timber, and will be panelled in Canadian cedar and yellow birch. Four striking dioramas will illustrate the four main branches of industryagriculture, mining, timber and transport. A special system of lighting will automatically vary the aspect of the dioramas, from sunrise through broad daylight to sunset and finally night. These dioramas will measure about 14 feet long by 10 high. Other features of the court will illustrate water power, national parks and wild life, and tourist attractions. A series of 112 illuminated transparent pictures will give a wide variety of national life, industry, and natural resources. ____
