pose of demonstrating the workings.
These savages are dressed in short

anything else, and under these they
have their native trousers if such they
can be called.
The method of cleaving the diamonds
to prepare them for cutting is shown by
skilled worl<men, and then the dia-
monds are polished after being cut. All
the processes are carried on in full
view of the audience, for whose es-
pecial benefit elevated platforms have
been erected about tho machinery.
Thus the production of diamonds, from

MONEY SPENT AT THE FAIR
So Far 1t Hardly Comes Up to the Esti-

So Far It Hardly Comes Up to the Esti-
mate-The Outlook Good.
Much brain matter has been expended
in estimating the average amount of
money spent by viSi tors at the cNposi-
ton after entering the gates. Paul
Blacl<mar, chief of the department of
collections, said few days ago that
while he had some figures based on the
first months returns he could no1>D4h
justice to the exposition. give them out
until more defnite average had been
arrived at
At the opening OF the fair it was Mr..
Blackmar's estimate that the average
expenditures of each visitor, exclusive
of admission fee, would he between
fifty and SiXty-fvc cents. For the first
month, however. it is not believed that
the figures are quite SO large.
The returns for May show that the
larger the attendance the smaller the
average amount spent within the gates
by each visitor. Mr.. Blackmar does
not believe that this state of affairs will
continue during the remaining months
of the exposition.
Our big days." he said. '.have been
holidays, when the thousands of work.
ing people living in Chicago came to
the park, bringing their lunches with
them. They did not come to spend
money and had no money to spend.
When the railroads begin to bring in
excursion parties and the percentage OF
people from out of the city attending
the fair grows larger. I feel sure that
the average daily expenditure of each
visitor will also grow larger. 1t is also
doubtless true that the nearer the ex-
position draws to a close the more will
people buy souvenirs and memorials of
the great fair. In this way the amour
of money spent inside the gates will be
greatly increased
The original estimate of the depart
ment of con -essions was that the expo
| sition would act five million dollars as
! its share of the receipts of concessions
naires, and they have as yet no reason
| to change it.

Oriental Paintings That Were Recently
Opened the Public.
The opening of the Japanese exhibit
in the Palace of Fine Arts a few days
ago drew a great many people, who
went away delighted as we'll as aston
ished at what they saw.
The entrance to the exhibi is guarded
on one side by great bronze eagle, on
the other by bronze cast of protect
ing deity. A bas-relief of dragons in
clouds, done in bronze, stands just be-
yond. and near by is representation
of the Kasaka pagoda, an exquisite
piece of carving. At the entrance
hangs magnificent tapestry of silken
chrysan themums, and a painting OF
carps by Tukok, greatest of Japanese
artists.
There are several landscapes, quiet
and restful. in black and white, the
finest being by Hashimoto Gaho. Fish
and birds predominant, and there is one
magnificent tiger.
A magnificent bronze is that of ?
stump with a rooster perched upon it,
while on the ground beside it is the old
hen with her brood. The long tail
feathers in bronze are supple enough to
have been transferred from the living
to the bronze fowl.
The entire exhibition is revelation
in Japanese art.

JUNE'S FLORAL DISPLAY.

.. Uncle John" Thorpe Provides . Fine
Programme for tho Month.
June is fine month for flowers as
as we'll as for weddings and will not
be ignored by ''Uncle john Thorpe
and his assistants. During the latter,
part of May the great flower beds about
the big greenhouses have blossomed
with a display of pansies and tulips
that have challenged the admiration of
observers.
This month the pansies will be in all
their glory. Tulips will be about out,
but there are many other flowers to
take their place. Peonies will be out
in the greatest profusion. The big red
and white blossoms will make the
flower beds about the greenhouses look
like natural carpets. On the wooded
island all the hardy Towering plants
will be in bloom and that will be the
prettiest spot in the fair grounds.
Roses will not be forgotten. nor will
they be missed in the floral display for
the month. The great variety of the
flower affords an opportunity for un-
commonly fine displays, and the chances
will be made the most of. Designs will
be worked out in them, and the display
will be literally ''acres of roses.''
Rhododendrons are flowers of great
beauty and adaptibility for display
work, and they will be found by their
admirers in profusion. So will the
calnpanulas. pretty, bell-shaped blue
flowers. So far no particular displays
have been arranged for special days,
but later such plans will be matured.
All in all, the floral features for the
month of June will be unexcelled dur
ing the time'of the fair. 1t will be the
month par excellence for lovers of
nature in flowers and foliage to go to
jackson park.

fornia section is formed of variegated
onyx and is exceptionally fine. The
stone and marble exhibits of some of
the states are also entitled by their
beauty to more than a casual glance.
But the center of attraction just now
is the diamond exhibit of the Kimberly
mines of South Africa in the Mining
building. There is in the exhibit about
one hundred tons of diamondiferous
earth which is to be operated upon day
after day during the exposition season.
and the process of extracting the pre-
c1ous stones from the clay will be an
established feature of the fair. The
machinery used is the same as that
used at the mines in Cape Colony only
built on a much smaller scale the better
to demonstrate the process to the visit
ors.
In the operation of washing the dirt
it is lifted into a great pan, where by
constant stirring it is worked into a
soft mud. It is then passed into a
cylinder with a spiral motion and holes
of different sizes. The smallest peb-
bles pass through the first aperture,
the next in size through the second and
