THE CASTLE LOO.

an Giacomo Trivulzio, scion Of noble
Milaneso family, q brave soldier, q pol
ished gentleman, an accomplished schol-
ar and above all n practical man of af-
fairs. The grounds about the castle are
spacious and beautiful and crossed by a
network of noble avenucs-they call
them Was i'll Milan-and the whole
space has been decorated in the Snyest,
most attractive manner possible. Espe
cially bright was the appearance of the
grounds on the opening day, which was
graced by tho presence of tho king and
queen themselves, Premier Crispi and
many other Italian dignitaries
The central buildings are described rs
very beautiful. They We're designed by
Caviterrc Giuseppe Somarugga, an en-
inent Milanesc architect. Other impor-
tant buildings are the Pompeiian thea
ter, the Sports building. many cafes,
restaurants, etc. One Of the most i'm
portant departments of the entire show
is that devoted to the "operaja," or
working class. The experiments that
have been made in the direction of CO.
operative laher in Milan have been elab-
crate and so successful rs to attract tho
attention Of students and economists
from all over Europe With full consid-
Grafton of the facts the directors of the
exposition have given this department
more space than any other, and they
have been rewarded for their sagacity
by the absorbing interest that has been
bestowed thereon by the visitors.
Tho horticultural section has been ar
ranged i'll such u manner as to display n
constant succession of exquisite blooms,
possibly the palms and orchids being
the most attractive features. The photo
graphic section is also highly interest
ing One is hewildered, however, in
trying to decide which he shall admire
most-tho artistic or the scientific fea-
lures In printing, too, there are many
most interesting devices shown, and one
of these makes 1t possible, so it is re-
ported, to print any number of colors
at one impression. Tho new process is
called sincro2lia, and it is asserted that
as many copies of plate with 100 col
ors may be made in one day by this
method rs may be turned off by the old
method of n picture Of five colors i'll n
week. Besides there are not tho same
opportunities for misprinting, owing,
of course, to the uso of but one plate in
the new process, as by the old, in which
as many plates arc required as there are
colors to be shown.
The musical section, located in the
Pompeiian theator, is also most inter
esting one. 1t abounds In manuscript
and autographs scores by the most en-
inent Italian composers, and likewise
in marvellous variety of operatic cos
tunes. The department of fine arts is
one to draw out the most enthusiastic
admiration of picture lovers and those
who delight In sculpture There are
1900 pictures in all and bewildering
variety of examples of the plastic art.
The departments devoted to telegraphy
and photography, too, are worthy of
special mention. the exhibits being of
intense interest alike to the professional,
the amateur and the layman.
Among the structures the splendid
arch of peace is a marvel of artistic
beauty. In fact, the exposition of Milan,
taken altogether or considered in parts,
quite merits the extensive patronage
that is being bestowed upon it.
