the government resolved to hold an
nual exhibitions of like character, but
the disturbed condition Of the country
prevented a repetition until the year
1901. The third exposition, held in
1902, saw the orlglnatiOn of the Societe

On this occasion there were 600 prize

was held, after which those of 1923
and 1927 occurred with varying sue
cess. In 1874 the tenth and last expo
sltion during the reign Of Louis Phil
ippe saw 1850 exhibitors participating.
Another exposition on grand scale
was that Of 1S49. Nearly 5000 exhib-
itors were represented and 3.TSS prizes
were awarded. The exhibition cOntin-

40 beneficial that other nations began
to realize It's Importance to trade.
Three other countries had previously
given expeditions Of more or less local
nature. Such were those that had been
held In Russia. Denmark. and Aus

had been held In Belgium.
In the British domlnions expositions
had been held both IN Manchester aud

1927. 1t remained for England to pro

the first meeting Of the commissioners
II was decided 20 rely wholly upon vol

was soon raised. One single contrlbu-

Sir Joseph Paxton was the one chosen,

Two Happy Thoughts.

From far-away Ceylon comes a funny
little story. A tea planter who had a
glass eye was DESTROYS of going away
for days shooting with a friend, but
he knew that as soon as the natives
who were at work on the plantation
heard that he was gone they would not
do a stroke of work. How was he to
get off? That was the question. After
much thought an idea struck him. Co
ing up to the men he addressed them
thus:
Although 1 myself will be absent.
yet l shall leave one of my eyes to see
that you do your work" And much to
the surprise and bewilderment of the
natives, he took out the glass eye and
placed It on the stump Of a tree and
left. For some time the men worked
lndustriously; but at last one of them.

T7 early as 1907 the Marquis
H\ d'Ayeze, having received the APP
800 pointment as commissioner OF the
Royal Manufactures OF the Gobelins.
OF sevres, and OF the Savonnerle, found
that the turbulent times OF the revolu-
ton had so discouraged the Industrial
arts that the skilled worknen OF these
places were reduced to starvation,
while the store rooms were filled with
the choicest productions Of their art.
This condition gave him the Idea Of
holding an exhibition where tapestries,
china and carpets could be gathered
together and a great sale held.
The then unused chateau of 81. Cloud
was taken for this purpose, but on the
day Of the opening a decree of the d.
rectory banishlng the nobility was Is
sued. and he was compelled to quit
France, and return the following year,
and, on the failure Of his first attempt,
originate another exhibition, which
proved very successful. This was held
at the Chateau de Orsay, where the
house and grounds were filed with
beautiful and useful stuffs and wares
Of all varieties.
The success OF this undertaking
caused the government to take up the

suggestion. Thus originated the first
Crystal Palace" The totnl cost of the
building was Ss5O,0OO, This show
proved a success. Before the opening
100000 had already been received FOR
season tickets, and during the six
months It remained open the average
number Of daily visitors was 1886
At It's close there remained balance
of $4,000 above all expenses.
The year 1853 saw two Crystal Pal
ace shows in operation. That Of New
York was organized by a few inauen-
tlal citizens Of wealth as a stock com
pany, with the end in view Of bringing
the manufactured goods OF the Old
World here to be placed in comparison
with those of the New. The other
show of the year was that held In Dub
lin. This, too, while very successful
as an exhibition, did not attract the
international interest 1t merlted, nor
did II IN a financial way prove a sue

The next great exposition was that
Of Paris, held In 1855. Preparations
for this exposition were begun as early
as 1853, but up to February, 1854, little
progress had been made. So slow did
the work progress that the exposl-

lnterfered with any pretentious display

estimated that the total number Of Wis
ltors to this great show exceeded A.

was 1885, sos, or $143 per square foot

1862, 654 dividends being declared Of
$685. 200 The remaining amount was
devoted to public works.
Expostons were held In Moscow
and Copenhagen IN 1872, but were more
national in character, confined as they
were to the products of the country
in which they were held.
A decree Issued by the Austrian EN-
peror, May "a, 1870, announced that
under the august patronage of his i'm
perlal and royal majesty, the EN-
peror, an international exhibition
would be he'd in Vienna in 1873" To
this end an appropriation by the gov
eminent of 100000 was made, and
later, as the work progressed, an addi-
tional appropriation of 100000 more
was found necessary. Universal inter-
est was shown in this great undertake
ing, the foreign governments selecting
from among their most eminent men
their representative commissioners. An
Idea of the magnitude of this great
show may be CLEANED from the fact
that there were in all 1902 awards
made, the total number of exhibitors
being about 1000. The total cost of
buildings and accessories was $780,
600. Receipts from visitors, $1,2S3,.

enue from concessions and sale Of
buildings, was far from enough to
cover the great expense incurred, the
deficit being met by the government.

II Is interesting to observe that an
Eastern paper has taken up the work
OF reviving the Malthusian principle
and Is asserting with much vigor that
population tends to Increase faster
than the means Of subsistence" The
exact value and significance OF this rule
have been so plainly illustrated in the
century since Nautilus elaborated Il
that they can be stated In n few words
Where the means Of subsistence are In
excess Of the existing population the
tendency Is for population to increase
the faster. Where the means Of sub
sistence are only adequate to the exist
ing population the increase OF p0pula
ton cannot be faster because the ex
cess Of population viii perish for lack
OF subsistence This has been proved
signally In more than one way during
the century Of which Nautilus saw the
beginning. America and Australia
having means OF subsistence with civ.
ilized Industry for vast populations.
have seen an Immense growth Of popu.
latlon. In Europe. when he wrote, pop.
ulation seemed to be ut a standstlll be-
cause the means OF subsistence were
no more than enough for the existing
population. But the principle worked
out In a different way than It's author
supposed. For the great inventions and
devices of the century multiplied the
means Of subsistence so as to permit a
great Increase Of population In Europe
as well rs in the unsettled portions Of
the globe.
