States will play in the coming
 Paris Exposition of 1900. The Call
 is enabled to give a forecast of
 the plans in so far as they had been perfected by the special commits sioner, the late Moses P. Handy, as en- bodied in an advance copy of the Pres ident's message to Congress.
 From this document it is shown that the prospects for an adequate American exhibit are verv bright, considering the delay in the initial arrangements. The message recommends an appropriation of S979 500. In dealing with this the President says:
 Tn view of the magnitude and importance of the approaching eX- position and of our standing among the nations which will be there represented, and in view also of our increased population and -ac- knowledged progress in arts, sci ence and manufactures, 1 earnestly commend the report of Major Han- dy to your consideration and trust that a liberal appropriation may be . made Moreover, the magnificent exhibit of the French Government at Chicago in 1893, on which $1,000, 900 was expended, should be strong incentive to reciprocal liber- ality on the part of the Government of the United States, and necessity as well as the pro- priety of installing at the Paris Exhibition an exhibit on a par with that of the Government and people of France at Chicago. and in keep ing with the scope and extent of the preparations which are being made by nearly all the important nations of the earth for their pro- posed exhibits in that exposition" Major Handy's report is full of meat He describes in detail the eventually successful struggle for appropriate space, and how the space will be al- lotted. He gives comparisons based upon past expositions. and throws out many valuable hints to prospective ex- hibitors. The space originally reserved for the United States was little more than that awarded in 1889.
 The following table shows the total allotment of space:

Allotment not yet made.
 To form a fair judgment as to the equity of this allotment it is essential to recall the superficial areas of the several universal eXpoSitions that have been held in Paris since 1867. The ex- position of that year occupied 152 acres: that of 1878, 187 acres, and that of 1889, 240 acres, while the space at present available for that of 1900 is about 336 acres. The full extent of the allotment of the United States is not fully set forth in the above table, there being no allotment, it will be observed, in the departments of fine arts, horticulture. forestry, chase and fisheries, social economy and hygiene. colonization and army and navy.
 The vexed question of classification has been profoundly studied in all it's aspects by M. Picard, the commissary general. and by the superior commits sion. The difficulties, in fact the utter imposSibility, of devlsing a scheme of classification absolutely logical and en- tirely free from practical disadvantages were fully recognized The commission examined with great care the classifi- cations of all the international expo- sitions of the past, both in France and other countries. and considered fully the various criticisms to which they have been subjected in the light of the actual results achieved.
 For the classification at the approach ing exposition, that of 1889 is taken as a point of departure. and such modifi- cations have been made as were sug- gested by the legitimate criticisms of which it was the object, and by the lessons taught by foreign expositions.
 The post of honor is occupied by edu- cation, "the channel by which man en- ters into life, the source of all pro- gress." Next come the works of art, and the third place is assigned to the instruments. and general processes of
