THE SUBJECT OF SOCIAL ECONOMY FULLY SET FORTH.-As a result of the effect of education upon man the exhibit of Social Economy at the Universal Exposition, which will be held in St. Louis in 1904, will illustrate the study and investigation of social and economic conditions, resources and organizations, together with the means adopted by civilized people to solve the social problems with which they are confronted. The official bureaus, census offices, reform associations, by statistical tables and data, will set forth the economic and social conditions in a manner which will admit of easy comparison. Physical resources and characteristics, together with means of transportation, have largely to do with the development of the world. These subjects will form items in this section, as will the important factors of the location and organization of industrial enterprises. The regulation of industry and labor by governments is one of the salient features of the exhibit. The inspection of mines, factories, &c., the organization of employers and employes, settlement of disputes, &c., all afford opportunities for valuable and instructive displays. For the first time an effort is made to show the work of employers' associations. Exhibits will be made of the various systems employed for the payment of work-people, profit-sharing, co-operative institutions, co-operative credit and banking institutions, COoperative building societies, &c. A view of how thrift is promoted by savings banks, life, accident, sickness, old age and invalidism, fire, marine and other insurance methods, will be fully set forth. In The "Model Village" is to-day the pride of more than one captain of industry. Great Britain, France and Germany and other European countries there are many groups of this kind, and in America there are perhaps even more. The complex and distressing problem of providing house accommodation for the working classes in thickly populated centres will be treated under this head. The erection of improved dwellings by private efforts or by public authorities will be adequately described by studied plans and drawings. The legal regulation and public management of the liquor trade, as also the efforts, public and private, to promote temperance, will be exhibited by means of charts in such a way that a comparison of the methods practised, with the results obtained, will be easily accomplished. The section of Charities and Correction will illustrate the work of the various institutions which care for the neglected, dependent and delinquent.

The progress made in the treatment of the sick and injured and the insane will be a striking feature of the Exposition. A complete scientific medical exhibit will demonstrate the work of pathological laboratories. One of the most interesting exhibits in this department will be the methods of tracing, capturing, identifying and treating criminals. A bureau of identification illustrating the Bertillon and English finger-print system will be in operation. The results of the most scientific processes through which derelict man is treated with a view of improving and uplifting him will be compared with the weak and ineffective results of unrestrained brutality and misgui led sentiment. OLYMPIC GAMES.-For the first time in the history of physical culture this great factor in the welfare of society has been officially recognized as a special department by an exposition. An appropriation of $250,000 has been made by the Universal Exposition, St. Louis, 1904, for this purpose. A gymnasium, which is to be a permanent one, has been erected upon the Exposition site, as also a stadium with a seating capacity of 35,000. Within this stadium are to be held during the season of 1904 all known sports, for which unprecedented prizes will be offered. The famous Olympic games may be designated as the most important feature of this remarkable athletic festival. These will last an entire week, and it is the intention of the management of the Exposition to make the Olympiad of 1904 the greatest ever held. The first of these modern Olympiads-which are the reproduction of the famous games of ancient Greece-was held at Athens in 1896, when an American astonished the world by winning the discus-throwing championship. The second series of Olympic games was held at Paris in 1900 in connection with the Paris Exposition, where they proved a world's attraction, and where American athletes won nine-tenths of the prizes. The representatives of athletics in America propose that nothing shall be left undone to make this first American Olympiad a phenomenal success. A special American committee has been organized in addition to the International Committee of the Olympic Games to this end. UNPRECEDENTED ATHLETIC PROGRAMME. The athletic programme will include the following events: Two days devoted to deciding the national championship by the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States, bicycling, national interscholastic championship, quoits, the national swimming championship of America, including plunging, short and long distance racing, diving and water polo, as well as college aquatic championships; lawn tennis, a cross-country championship contest, cricket, association football, Gaelic football, an international hurling match, roque championship, basket-ball championship for schools, Young Men's Christian Associations and college athletic clubs; gymnastic championships, archery for men and women, equestrian polo and lacrosse. There will be a championship meeting for colleges of the Western States, and a national intercollegiate meeting, as well as contests among the German Turners of America, Y. M. C. A. championships, fencing for the championship of the world, wrestling all weights-for amateurs only-and automobile races, &c., are also included in the programme. A liberal appropriation has been set aside for college football and baseball. The handicap college athletic meetings are to be held in the early part of the year. These are schoolboy meetings for the schools of St. Louis and meetings for the colleges of St. Louis and the colleges of the West, as well as the athletic clubs of St. Louis and the athletic clubs of the West. The amount of money that has been appropriated for the prizes in each case is large and unusual. Aside from the sports enumerated above the committee is arranging for other exhibitions and contests of an attractive nature. The exhibits relating to physical culture will be installed in the gymnasium. has been set aside for methods and apparatus that have to do with the training of the Space child and the adult both in theory and in practice. development and school exercises, those in use in the school gymnasiums, and others for These will include features in physical outdoor training systems, together with the apparatus for special forms of physical development, including athletic training, various forms of exercises, walking, rowing, swimming, vaulting and fencing.

SCIENTIFIC PHYSICAL CULTURE. An entirely new feature will be the holding of conventions, popular lectures, addresses, &c., for the discussion and consideration of topics connected with physical culture. being invited to visit St. Louis next year for this purpose. The best authorities on physical culture in the world are MOST REPRESENTATIVE LIVE-STOCK SHOW EVER PRESENTED-$750,000 IN PRIZES.-The St. Louis Exposition is the first world's fair to give the live-stock interests the recognition of a full department with an independent chief.
