From the SENTINEL's Correspondent

PHILADELPHIA, May 20, 1876:
EDITORS SENTINEL: An order has
been promulgated for soine time that
no passes will be good after the 3lst OF
May, unless they have a photograph
of the holder upon a space provided
for that purpose. The reason of this
will be obvious when it is known that
a number Of passes are being daily
taken up and cancelled on account Of
being used by other persons than the
holders. AS there are about 10000 Of
these passes, it will be easily seen that
there is only a slight probability that
the improper use of them will ever be
detected, and that some provision like
this, o make such use impos,ibie, is
very necessary. 1t is said that this rule
will be rigidly enforced. There is on
the grounds the establishment of a
company called the Centennial Photo
graph Company, authorized by the
Commission to put these photographs
upon the passes, although they need
not be procured here. The lat of June
being very near ths photograph rooms
have been crowded for the last few
days. 1t does not tax long TO sit for
your picture, as, OF course, no attention
is paid to posture or anything OF the
kind. The Centennial Photograph
Company will likely make a good
thing out of IT,.
A decided improvement was com.
pleted yesterday. That Is the putting
of shields in conspicuous places on all
the buildings, with numbers OIL them
corresponding to the numbers on the
map Of the official catalogues. This
will be a great Lelp TO those people
whose bump OF locality is not very
conspicuously developed, and who al
ways have great trouble in making the
map and the grounds tally.
Continuing our studies in the main
building, we enter the Enclosure of Den
mark. where there is not much variety.
though what there is is very good. The
display consists of vases, urns, plaster
casts. etc., more than anything else. A
good many of these are ticketed as
sold. The vases, urns, cups, plates,
ETC., are nearly all limitations OF Egyp.
tian and other ancient works, II
about all of them have NEUROLOGICAL
representations on them. There are
| some very handsome small groups and
| s~tatuettes, also on neurological sub
jects. There are a few bronze busts
AMI carved wooden figures. The Dan
ish works Of art are all very high
priced. Greenland, the Arctic possess
sion of Denmark, Is Represented by
furs and Esquinlaux curiosities, etc.
| Among these is an Esquimaux boat,
and models OF boats, and an E~qui-
maux house. A number OF Greenland
birds, including the elder dnck and its
soft, downy nest, and q collection OF
eggs Of different birds, were very inter-
, esting to us. Besides this there is not
much to see. Some specimens OF
woods, bottle Of cherry cordial, extract
of rennet, butter and cheese cOloring,
varnish, etc.. are about all they have.
While speaking of Sweden we forgot
to mention q part of her display.
Across the main aisle from her princi-
pal department., Is a space where she
exhibits arms, munitions and instru.
ments of war, and the work of her
technical schools. There are in the
war section life. size a figures, show
| ing the Swedish uniforms, both those
| OF the past and those In use at the pres.
ent time; and before these a great
many people stop and look. The first
figure Is that of q private during the
time of Gustavus Ado!phus, the Sec
ond, and is dated 1882. This Is not
much like the military uniform of the
present day. Another shows the uni
form OF the Life Guard in 100. The
other three are representations Of Off
GERS OF the Swedish cavalry and artil.
lery as at present uniformed. Sweden
has also an educational display in
a separate building. This goes by
the name of the Swedish school,
house. One room IL fitted up as
a school room, and has in addition a
number of educational objects. The
other rooms contain models of school
houses and educational apparatus. In
the Swidish system of education
object teaching has a prominent
] part, and great assistance is given to
