served. their actual garments vesting them
and their actual ornaments bedecking
them. Nearby will be the skulls and other
bones OF these same races, as well as OF
other families of men long extinct: also
models of the houses In which man has
lived since he abandoned the caves afforded
by nature or ceased to lie unsheltered in
the fields. Specimens of the different I'M
PIGMENTS which he has made during his
course Of evolution through the ages will
also be shown here, as will Hfelike groups

things, arranged in a comparative scale;
skeletons of whales, of the real sea SER

and plants.
In the equal space devoted to geology
nature will be seen at work in her great
earth laboratory, raising continents out of
the oceans, building mountains. volcanoes,
caves; shaping rocks with her glaciers
and rivers; manufacturing diamonds and
gold and silver and coal Gems of all
kinds will be seen sparkling in glass cases

Similarly will be strikingly shown the
evolution of such present necessities as
the match, the watch, the gun, the type
writer, printing press, electric light ana
photograph. Thus in the hall of geology
will be shown how nature has wrought the
earth-manS home; In that OF biology,
how she shaped all living Things upon the
earth in that of anthropology, how man
developed, and in that of arts and indus
tries, what he has made to change the des-
TIMES of his posterity.
For twenty years the National Museum
has been putting away in storage hundreds
of thousands of curios and other exhibits
which could not be shown to the people
because of the congested condition Of the
building. New exhibits are being received
at the rate of nearly quarter million
year, and duplicates of what the museum
already has are being exchanged for things
which 1t has not at the rate of some 10000
per year.
