pictures of French criminalS--here n set
of photographs which show the eyes, there
the noses, next the ears of a great variety
Of exceedingly tough customers. Most
graphic of all is the Bertillon method of
obtaining evidence in a case of death in
the street or in II field. Walking through
the corridor next to Lake Michigan you
come suddenly upon the figure Of a man
lying on the floor. Though of wax, he has
the ghastliness of death upon his brow,
and he ~startles you. Above the PROSTATE
figure is a camera carried on u tripod, and
so arranged that by pulling string the
operator may photograph tho deceased
Just AS he was found, the picture (Which is
shown) containing not only the features,
figure and clothing of the dead man, but
the exact position in which he fell, the
marks of struggle if any are in the earth,
and the footsteps which may be there.
Next to the French building is the beau
tiful pavilion of the Cingalese, which is a
formidable rival to the Hooden temple
erected by the japanese on the wooded
island. The people of Ceylen are said to
have in this exposition the finest and rich
est display, in proportion to population, to
be found among the contributions of the
nation. This building on the lake front
is filled with carvings and gems, and is
worth an hours visit.
The South and Central American coun.
tries have done very well. Brazil has
spent nearly Sl0O,OD on her building,
which presents to good advantage the
genius of Brazilian architects. Costa
Rica has Il striking building which re,
sembles al Aztec temple, and Guatemala
shows in front of its structure, which is
decorated most charmingly in pistachiO
green tints, II rose garden where one may
sip coffee made in the Guatemala manner
Colombia has Il fine building, while
Venezuela shows a white marble structure
surrounded by gardens containing the
rarest and most beautiful of tropical
plants and orchids. Nicaragua, the little
nation which some people think the United
States will some day annex, along with
Costa l;ica, on account of the intcrOceaniC
canal, has worthy building to which all
visitors are warmly welcomed.
