and state buildings, all-world and unique in concession structure.
 The palaces are the varied produc- tions of the leading architects of the United States, designed in obedience to a chaste, harmonious scheme. The style adopted is described as "a free treatment of the Renaissance" Ac- cording to dictionaries, Renaissance" is the style which succeeded the me diayal and was based upon study and emulation of the forms and ornaments of the classic architecture of Greece and Rome
 One of the architects defines the use of the term "aS a carte blanche to the architects to produce a beautiful eff feet by the use of any architectural de- vice that ever gladdened human eyes, from the pediment and peristyle of the parthenon to the minaret and dome of the Tai Mahal.'
 The architect of the Palace of Educa- tion surrounded that building with a majestic Corinthian colonnade. Anoth- CT architect made towers of the pedes tals that carry the crowning sculpture of the Palace of Electricity. Another architect designed for the Palace of Varied Industries Spanish steeples and q Semicircular colonnade unlike any thing ever before done in architecture. The architect used dome roof and triumphal arch motif in the Palace of Manufactures. Another architect broke the sky lines of the Palace of Liberal Arts with quadriga crowned entrances reaching as high as five story houses. Other architects introduced into the with a forest of towers and big slop- ing roof backing a sculpture decked entrance way.
 The supervising architect of the Unit cd States treasury introduced another element of variety in the United States Government building, taking the form of a big fiat dome, an Ionic colonnade and classic pediment lifted in the air by caryatid attic. The same archi- tect reproduced in the great Fish pa vilion for the government of the United States, line for line, a Roman dwelling house of the Pompeiian type.
 In the Mines and Metallurgy Palace the Egyptian obelisks furnish the motif for the entrances. The cornice is wiped out entirely by the substitution of an overhanging roof. In the Art Palace an engaged colonnade is employed to decorate windowless museum facade. Festival Hall is made conspicuous and distinctive with the largest dome on earth. The chief of design of the Elk position adopted the dome roof, three massive entrance arches and a bottle shaped pylon for features of the great Palace of Transportation. This same mind employed plain heavy piers on the Palace of Agriculture and demon strated the architectural possibilities of the farmhouse gable in the Forestry, Fish and Game building.
 The artistic sense finds further pleas ing variety in the Tudor Gothic of the dozen permanent red granite buildings which form part of the Worlds Fair settlement.
 Architectural history may be read in the buildings of the states and foreign governments. France reproduces the Grand Trianon at Versailles; Germany the Imperial castle at Charlottenburg; Great Britain, the Orangery of Ken sington palace at London; Japan, the Castle of Nagoya; China, the palace of Prince Pu Lun. Belgium builds an Antwerp townhall. Mexico has a patio or inner court, in it's buildings. Louisi ana repaoduces the Cabildo at New Or leans, where the formal transfer of the Louisiana Purchase Territory from France to the United States took place New Jersey supplies a replica of Gen eral Washington's headquarters al Morristown Connecticut presents the and adds mantels and woodwork iron, two other Connecticut mansion homes Nirginia's pride is gratified in Monti cello, the home of Thomas Jefferson Mississippi builds Beauvoir, the home of Jefferson Davis Most of the other states adopt the style of the big exhibit palaces on their buildings. The tran sition from the architectural dignity of the Plateau of States to the gayety of the Pike is made by the building oi Texas, shaped like five pointed star and by the wigwams of giant trees which Washington and Oregon supply
