tanning who are pressing forward in or

in the coming industrial war, and who
are falling behind.
By favor of the corpora ton of the
city of Glasgow, the site of the interna-
tional exhibition is in the Kelvingrove
Park and adjoining Bunhouse grounds
almost one hundred acres being en-.
closed. The chief building. the indus
trial hall, is magnificent erection, the
central portion bearing lofty towers
while high above all is a grand dome
with a decorated fleche, on which rests
a figure embematic of electricity. Pa
vilions, with lofty minarets surmounted
by domed roofs, rise from each corner.
One hundred feet up there is a huge
balcony, reached by automatic lifts,
round which visitors may promenade
and obtain an excellent view of the ex-
| hibition and its surroundings. In the
front of the hall is the ceremonial en-
| trance, formed of a marble piazza, with
an imposing colonnade two hundred
feet long and eighty feet wide. Facing
this entrance and divided by the river
Kelvin, stands the palatial University
Of Glasgow, the foundation stone of
which, it is interesting to recall, was
laid in 1868 by His Majesty King Ed
ward VII, then the Prince of Wales.
A magnificent avenue nine hundred
feet long, terminating in a bridge, con-
meets the industrial hall with the ma
chinery hall, the latter being a vast
erection covering fully five acres. The
mechanical exhibits will command the
attention Of all visitors, who will be en-
abled to view the machinery in motion,
part of which will be driven by electric
motors, from spacious galleries. All the
main buildings are covered with flbrous
plaster faced with pure white stucco.
Included In the exhibition is the KEEL
vingrOve art gallery and museum,
magnificent Jacobean palace, speedily
built to accommodate the city's artis-
tic and historical treasures. It's grand
hall. spacious courts and innumerable
galleries are reserved entirely for the
fine art, Scottish history, and archaeol-
agy section, in which will be reviewed
the art Of the past century. Paintings,
pastels and miniatures, art objects,
and photographs have been
collected from public and private gal
leries throughout the world, and
the contributors are His Ma
iesty the King, the nobility of England
and Scotland, the city of London and
the principal corporations throughout
the United Kingdom. To transatlantic
visitors possibly the most fascinating
department will be that devoted to
Scottish history. Every article shown
will have a distinct historical value by
reason of its association with a king or
1 queen, a Highlander or Hanoverian a
or covenanter, or some STIR
ing episode in civic or national history.
In one court will be relics of Scottish
titles, in another a Hall of Clans" and
elsewhere trophies from the battlefields

an Hamilton and General Hector Mac

include the Long Tom" captured at |

elics has never before been gathered |

contents will alone be worth crossing |
