When the plans aud dimensions
~ the buildmgs were hlst made pub
hc the people were amazed at the
daring # the exposition manage
meuf Even were such mamnnoth
buildings erected. where would the
exhibits necessary to hll them come
from, Now that the buildings are
all finished and the work of install
/ ing the exhibits u under way, the
question Is answered. Even were
the buildings three times as large
they could not contain all that has
been offered Inner courts have been
rooted over and where exhibitors
have asked for thousands of fleets OF
space they have had to content them
selves with hundreds Of feet.
Such being the case, the exhibitors
and the exposition management have
been enabled to exercise a discrimi-
nation that could not have been pos
sible ten wears ago. Official figures
show that in the decade following the
Columbia exposition the value of
manufactured products has increased
fifty per cent Thus the world
storeh0uses contain treasures that
were never before accessible, In the
close discrimination that has been
observed only the best and most
worth have been accepted and each
exhibit will represent the best in its
class.
Life and demonstration have been
the KEYNOTE in the exhibits division
and wherever practicable processes
are shown, together with the finished
product
The exhibit Of the Philippine Isl
ands, which covers 40 acres and has
been erected at cost of about : |
100000, is an exposition in itself.
The foreign nations have never be-
fore put forth such exertions to make
interesting exhibits The keen ri
valry that has been manifested be-
tween the most powerful nations, is
reflected in the newer and smaller
nations China is making such pre-
paratIons as 1t was never deemed
possible that exclusive nation would
consider Fifty one states and terri
tories and more than that number Of
foreign countries are working in un
