space az 20Q, 600 square feet. One does not
at first grasp the significance of these
figures. 10 is considerably more than four
acres of wall. The space Is equal to that
presented by a bill board fifteen feet high
and nearly three miles long. Though this
Ia 6 tremendous space to be devoted TO
such purpose, the foreign governments
alone applied for SOC, 900 square Feet Of sur
face, or one-half more than the total.
They were given 1876 600 square feet, and
the remaining 5000 isst reserved for
Americans. France, which leads ali the
other nations, has nearly as large a space
as the United States, or 10000 feet. Ger
many, Great Britain, Italy, Belgium and
Austria follow in order. The United
States section contains about 1900 pieces,
the French section 900, German 800, Eng
land 600, Dutch artists 80, Austria 800,
Denmark $50, Sweden 200. Italy 600, Bel
GUM 400, Norway 175. In all 10000 pieces
were rejected by the juries of selection,
and therefore the works which appear IN
the walls and floors Of the palace may be
taken as the cream of the studios of all the
world, the very best that pan can do. The
keen interest OF the foreigners in the sue
cess of this exhibit did not arise wholly in
love of their art or pride each in his own
school or country. The fact that Amer
leans now spend nearly az much money for
pictures as all the remainder of the world
together may have had something to do
with It.
The great central rotunda of the art pal
ace Is a beautiful spot. In the center is an
heroic figure of Washington by Thomas
Ball. Around the colossal Washington
are twelve groups of figures furnished by
twelve foreign countries. There are
smaller studios in each of the other pavil-
ions. There are In all no fewer thar eighty
separate galleries in the palace, ranging
from 30 feet square to 36x120 feet. There
are also 10s a~lcoves, used chiefly for en-
cravings. etchings and black,and-whites,

rare judgment Is found in the fact that
many OF the paintings which he formerly
brought into prominence by displaying
them In the Chicago expositions are now
classed among the famous pictures Of the
world and are given prominent places in
the Columbian art palace. Mr.. Dole and
other pioneers In the field Of art education
have found hat the masses Of our people
nave the artistic aspiration in high degree,
and that the almost universal love OF art
In America is sure to bear fruit, ooner OF
later, not only In general culture, but in
the production Of masters and master
pieces. Even now foreign visitors are dis
covering that art Is ascendant In our CEN
ters of population, and that il is growing
In the country as well AS In the cities. Mr..
Dole, who has lone so much for art in Chi.
cago, tells me he often overhears farmers
and mechanics commenting on pictures
while walking through the galleries, and
IL surprised to find that they are familiar
with the characteristics of the various
schools, that they know the famous pic
lures of the year and are quite familiar
with all current art matters.
Foreigners who come to Chicago expect
ing TO find here a new, raw town that still
savors of the prairies and the backwoods
are surprised TO find IL a center of art cul.
ture. They are amazed, in the first place,
at the artistic aspiration which led these
C~hicagoans to the adoption of the plan
that produced at Jackson park the finest,
most magnificent architectural display the
world has ever seen. They are surprised
and delighted with the number and the
Beauty of their pieces of heroic s~tatuary,
carved ped1ments N mural color work
with which the grounds, buildings and
walls Of the exposition are embellished.
IL Is indeed a surprise to find here in the
new west not only architectural achieve
ment which eclipses all Efforts of ancients
or moderns, but o~rnamentation on a scale
more vast and costly than was ever before

attempted in an international exposition.
And when, finally, our friends from across
the sea ind here our Art palace which in
magnitude and rank of contents ouedoes
all former Art palaces, and conspicuous
herein the work Of American artists who
are surely developing aschool of their own,
the conclusion Is irresistible that art is of
some consequence and promise in the west
ern world.
Art in the west will gain an immense
impetus from the fair. Many of the noble
paintings and statuary now In this palace
are to remain In Chicago indefinitely. A
noteworty exhibit in the foreign section is
a collection of arts from ancient Greek
sculpture, made by the Greek government
and sent here rs q special compliment to
America After the doors of the EXPOSE
ton are closed this magnificent collection
Is TO be presented to the Chicago Art
museum.
No decision has been reached as to the
~permsnency of the Exposition Art palace.
1t would seem "A pity TO tear it down, for it
is one OF the most beautiful buildings in
the world-Grecian Ionic Of the most re-
fined type. Unlike the other buildings
here II was built to stand. It Is practically
fire-proof. The main walls are of brick
covered with stat, and the roof is of iron,
steel and glass. All the stairways are of
iron. The cost Of the building was more
than 100000, aud it Is to be hoped a way
may be foundt to preserve It from the gen.
eral destruction which is to follow the
closing Of the gates here next fall.
One could only guess the commercial
value of the art treasures which the palace
now contains 1t would be rs easy to say
five hundred millions of dollars as one
hundred millions or fifty millions. No
one knows or can know. In fact, hun
dreds of the works shown here are price
less. Three paintings alone have been in
sured for Si07 600, and another is valued at
$4,000. The exhibit sent by one of the
minor European countries was insured for
$4,000. One loan-collection, containing
$50 pieces, and hung in the adjoining
rooms In the east pavilion, has an intrinsic
value running into the millions. 1t is a
collection Of foreign masterpieces owned
in America, and includes all the illustrious
during the last century-Millet,
Bonheur, Carolus-Doran, Millais, Meis-
sonier, Alma Tadema and many others.

Is going on In various parts Of the mann
moth building. Vanishing, you know, is
q process of Frightening up a picture that
may have been a little marred or scratched
by shipment or handling. Some of the
foreign artists are SO particular about this
vanishing that they have come all the
way to America to do it themselves, or
have sent men whom they know and trust
to do 1t for them. One is not surprised
that the art department was not quite
complete on the opening day. II is such a
tremendous aggregation of the work of
painters, s~culptorss etchers and carvers

No medical college will nave a chance to

his body, and Immediately after the doc
tors pronounce life extinct, all that is
mortal of the slayer of the hanover
maiden will be taken in charge by the
officials of the prison, and appropriate
services and a proper funeral will occur.

that has been going on for the last few
