also be set aside for systematic collections in geology, mineralogy, crystallography and paleontology.

Books and other literary materials that deal with geology and the mining world and its interests will constitute a unique library. Room will be allotted for geological maps, charts or models of underground topography and geology; also for relief maps, models and working plans of mines, statistics and other publications relating to mining, metallurgy, geology and mineralogy and the development of the water resources. The collection of ores and minerals will be supplemented by exhibits illustrating the process of treatment and the finished products. The machinery and equipment for treating and utilizing these ores and minerals will be shown in actual operation in all possible cases, SO that exhibits which under ordinary conditions would be unattractive will be given life and interest.

The machinery connected with mining and quarrying operations, including drilling, blasting. timbering and hoisting operations, drainage, illuminating and ventilation, will be shown. The manufacture of refractory materials for metallurgical purposes, such as fire brick, crucibles, retorts, gas generators and furnaces; the treatment of the ores of iron, the manufacture of iron and steel in ingots or bars, Bessemer metal, various processes of manufacturing iron and steel directly from the ores: the refining of the metal, the carburization of the metal and the manufacture of various finished products in iron and special steel will be demonstrated.

The same will be arranged with regard to electro-metallurgy, processes of washing goldsmiths' dust and dust from refiners of precious metals, the exact rolling and beating of gold, silver and tin, electro-plating and metal plates. Space too will be provided for an exhibit of drawn tubes and piping in iron, steel, copper. tin and lead. Contiguous to the Palace of Mines and Metallurgy an area of twelve

acres will be set aside for the display and operation of exhibits too large or too noisy for the inside of the building. In the hill which constitutes a portion of this space tunnels and

The aquarium will be located in the east end of the building and Occupy a space 185 feet long by 35 feet wide. It will have two lines of tanks separated by an aisle fifteen feet wide. In the nave, beginning in front of the aquarium and extending west to the centre of the building. will be a series of pools for large fish and other aquatic animals. The central pool, forty feet in diameter and five feet deep, will contain a collection of marine specimens. The pools will be very large and accommodate fish and other creatures of great size.

Another great attraction in this portion of the building will be the groups of living birds, especially pheasants. quail.

From the outset it has been the purpose of the founders to make the Universal Exposition of 1904 the world's greatest summary of human achievement, and as one of the means to this end to organize the Department of Anthropology in such way as to show more clearly than has been attempted hitherto the lines along which races and peoples have developed.

He had the "know how"-and he pushed. He had the dealers with him through his generous and liberal treatment. They stood by the New Star.

To have done what this man did, in the face of the bitterest kind of discouragement, and to do it from a little country town up in the hills of Pennsylvania, away from the inspiration of the great trade centres, is the sort of a thing that makes men like Irvin

buildings, including an "Industrial Building," to be specially erected, has been set apart for the Department of Anthropology, while the grounds extending westward from the Administration Building are being converted into a kind of park, in which will be located habitations erected and occupied by various primitive tribes, aboriginal workshops, early types of buildings from which architectural standards arose. The outdoor exhibit will display the leading types of mankind as well as the principal stages in the progress of peoples, and thus complement the greater features and motives of the Exposition.

A special feeature will be an Indian School Exhibit, illustrating the ways in which the study of human progress has been applied to the education of the natives of that vast territory embraced in the Louisiana purchase. In modern Indian education, manual training and mental culture go hand in hand. The "Industrial Building" will be largely devoted to the Exposition of an Indian school in practical operation, with its adjuncts of carpentry, smithing, tailoring, household methods and industrial occupations essential to well-rounded citi

"The ancient arrow-maker" and his grandson, engaged in wagon-making, working together under the same roof, illustrate the great advance made by the red man since Columbus came, and afford a means of measuring the rate as well as the extent of human progress. The "Industrial Building" erected by Indian pupils trained in the Government School at Chilocco, will be an exhibit of itself.

While the active principle of the department is that of illustration by living groups, the exhibit will be supplemented by one historical and two archaeological sections. In the former will be assembled books, manuscripts, maps and photographs recording the successive stages in human culture and depicting types of mankind; in the latter section the records GUIDE TO THE EXPOSITION CONTINUED ON PAGE LVIII.
